I’ve just completed (well I thought I had) my first wristwatch strip down, service and reassembly. A little more challenging after solely doing pocket watches to date. Anyway, getting towards the end of reassembly I noticed a collar in my dust tray and for the life of me, I can’t see where it’s supposed to go. I’ve circled it in red in the photo. Presumably part of the keyless works? Can anybody shed any light please? The movement is from a vintage Technos manual wind watch, probably from the mid 50s, which is identified as F391 (Felsa).

 

Thanks

Sometimes there are little metal washers like these underneath the crown wheel...is the watch winding and setting ok?

Thanks, for pointing me in the right direction. It wouldn’t fit underneath the crown wheel but as a washer underneath the yoke screw. Well it all works okay and sets and winds good so I think that’s sorted it.
Cheers,

Nothing is as unsettling as completing an overhaul and discovering some little part reappearing out of (seemingly) nowhere. Now you've not only fully completed your first overhaul, but successfully figured out a problem....Outstanding!

      Unfortunately I'm not that lucky. I started on the train side and after I noticed the binding I pulled everything out except the driving wheel to rule everything else out. It still binds. I'm going to double check that the pinion is fully seated on the staff first, then if no joy I'll push the bridge jewel up a fraction of a mm. Fingers crossed!

      Thank you for the advise!! It worked. The setting screw was a lock/unlock to remove the rotor.

      I have that French tech sheet too, it is a little different than the English one (eg, it doesn't have the auto works diagram). BTW, it looks like you are looking up the case number in the 1979 ABC supplement. The 1974 ABC catalog does have the 3093 case. As you determined it takes the 1222-5 crystal.  When I serviced my President 'A' (which also takes that crystal), I was able to fit a 29.8 crystal from my DPA crystal assortment. Those are, in my opinion, a great deal. The assortment comes with 10 sizes each from 27.8mm to 32.4mm in 0.2 increments. I pretty much use them for any non-armored crystal that takes a high dome crystal. I think they no longer make them but Cousins has still has some in stock but when I bought them they were around $40 for the set and now they are around $100. Still, at 40 cents a crystal it's still a good deal. For the large driving wheel, I remember I once assembled the keyless/motion works first and when I placed the large driving wheel it was interfering with the setting wheel on the dial side as the teeth were not fully meshing and it wouldn't fully seat. If that isn't the issue I got nothing and am looking forward to see how you solve it 🙂

      Not sure, but just looking at it, it seems like the screw on the right may be a fake? The one on the left may not be a screw in the regular sense at all, rather a 2 position device, I think you need to point the slot towards either of the 2 dots and one will secure and one will open. Like I said this is just my best guess looking at the pictures.
