Hi All

This is an EB 1575N Roskopf pin leverthat I'm learning on. https://17jewels.info/movements-en/movements-e-en/movements-e-eb-en/417-eb-1575n.html

I don't see where the setting lever attaches.  In the pics below, it's simply resting on the stem.  The link above has a similiar pic.  As far as I can tell,  the dial is the only thing that goes over it.  You can also see that there's a threaded post that's attached.  Wouldn't something screw onto it.

All comments welcome.

Charlie

Not sure if I'm understanding your question? Then you don't quite have things correct in the picture. The detent the protruding pin goes into the slot of the stem not where it is now. The setting lever goes into the notch of the clutch wheel as opposed to where it is now and then everything should be fine. Sometimes on really cheap watches they minimalize the components.

The screw on the setting lever is broken of. You need to find a new screw and it will probably work as it should. The setting lever arm should rest on the clutch wheel . Like in the picture. No need for a setting lever spring on this movement as it seams.

It didn't occur to me that the screw was sheared (beginner here).   Under higher magnification I can see the shear in the 2nd pic.

It looks like the it should be screwed into the hole highlighted below. Is that correct?  

Is a pin vice (which I don't have) the optimal tool for removing the broken screw?  Finally, Cousins UK sells "All Kinds Mixed Screws".  Is this a good place to start for a replacement?

Many thanks to all!

That screw should be easy to remove as you have something to grip. A Knipex endcutter or similar . Or a small bench vice. As for the screw i think need a setting lever screw. But maybe can get away with a normal screw in the right size .

      Case Tube Tool - Quest for one that works

      By Neverenoughwatches · Posted

      Now thats a real man's tool press 👍. I have one just like it in my back garden for when just CANT fix a watch . Its not something i have had to do yet, @Waggybut wouldn't any type of press be able to do this ? What about an adapted chain link  extractor work or a micrometer with some sleeve pushers made to slot over the ends. @Waggy Found something that could work Scott, comes with different size pins and pushers. Only bit that would need making is a round former to support the inside of the case, a piece of stout timber, bit of oak or mdf might do it. What i like about this one is the pin is pushed in, its in a sliding sleeve so it doesn't turn while its being driven. This has 4 pin sizes and 3 stumps as well so it will come in for other applications, the pins could be adapted to take other accessories from jewelling tools. I've just ordered one myself for some play time.

      So I purchased this one based on my case number being listed. (Unless my case number is incorrect. The last digits are faint)

      Case Tube Tool - Quest for one that works

      I have the same tool from AliExpress and get the same anxiety when when using it. But you have to admit it looks awesome on your tool shelf. Makes you look like a pro. 🤣 Looking at the photo of the Horotec tool, it looks equally flimsy. It probably comes from the same factory. I was thinking of using the pushers supplied with the tool and making a hand tool from a cranked jeweller's punch. I'll grind off the tip of the punch and drill a hole at the end to fit the pusher in. The cranked shank would be able to clear the watch case give a straight in-line axis to exert force to tap the pendant tube out. Should be robust enough to last several lifetimes. I wonder why nobody makes it. 🤔

      It reminds me of Ukrainian eBay sellers of Russian watches. More often than not the listings include the phrase "Serviced by Master Watchmaker". Of course, they never are, and it should be expected. It's the most corrupt country in Europe, definitely on par with Russia. Today our tiny country (Sweden) sent them another $1 232 255 518 with no accountability whatsoever for how the money will be used.

      Now that is taking it a bit far. You are going to need a bloody big workshop.
