Good evening ,  

I am servicing a favre leuba 253 . I have stripped and serviced the whole movement but now i am unable to assemble the dock click spring. I have found a pdf file on this forum but it is not opening on my system. a snap ofthe dock click (assembled)  would be of a great favor. 

 

Thanks and Regards

The pdf file is corrupt. I cant open it. What do you mean the dock click spring? That is not a correct terminology in horology a photo would help.

    • Thanks for the answers. In my case space is very limited: I only have the kitchen table on evenings. This is why I am considering a mostly water-based system (keeping heptane only for balance complete and pallets) and no cabinets, no big machines. Any advice for water-based detergents that I could procure from Sweden (ordering from Cousins is OK especially for non-hazardous liquids because normal shipping would be used). Should I really get an ultrasonic for those or would it also work by hand? Thanks!
    • I'm glad it worked out well for you. Must feel good to learn some new watchmaking black magic huh? 😂 Can you post a photo of the crown after all this, I'm a bit interested in how it looks compare to how yellow it was before, never thought alum could dissolve oxidation as well, maybe I can work out the chemistry behind it, something to do with the electrochemistry list, but I'm too lazy for it so 😂 you are lucky it was only yellow, the layer must be so thin it didn/t damage the finishing enough to be noticeable.
    • Thank you Andy, I will keep that in mind.  Fortunately this time, I tried to drill the stem out before finding out about the alum method, therefore most of the stem was hollowed out.  When I took the crown out of the third bath, I was able to screw the whole replacement stem in.  It us now in the ultrasonic cleaner to get any remaining gunk out. claudio
    • I haven't been on the forum for a while 🙃 A family member had a 955.112 watch running with an intermittent fault. Bought a NOS 955.112 movement, but to be sure, I'll give it a full service. It has been a long time since I did the 955.112, so I went back to @VWatchie walk-through ........ Again, I'm struck by the quality of it ❣️ Superb work 👏 🫶 🙏
    • Hi Neven , Agree we you that guard pin is in general a suspect , but OP replaced the fork, no joy.  Perhaps roller is damaged or misses the guard pin, so OP is going to check the escapement with high magnification &  adjust end shakes as well. Regs
