I'm Zozzle. I'm an apprentice watchmaker here in America. I'm gonna try to leave everything vague about myself and my shop. We can restore anything from TImex battery changes to restoring Patek grand complications that have been water damaged and then hit with a hammer.

My mentor can answer and fix anything given to him. At some point I will be able to do the same. Let me see if I can share some of my knowledge.

I don't believe this is quite the way you should introduce yourself. There are people here who are masters and people who are just beginning to learn.

All are welcomed here whatever there skill level. All are treated the same.  You well may be able to teach us a thing or two, however you should disseminate your knowledge by answering questions posed by members asking for help. . You will soon be looked to for advice, if your good.

How about letting us decide on our own if we can learn from you.

Welcome to this friendly Forum where we respect every one & there level of skills.

Welcome to the forum, it's great to see young guys starting out in their horology career - I wish you all the very best in your training. It's all about sharing knowledge and so you seem to have the right idea.

Incidentally, and don't be offended by this ... would you like me to change your username to something less... childish, if so please fire me a PM? :)

the term zozzle has quite an interesting usage on the internet and reaction to it does not seem positive.  

which appears to be the impetus for the posting in the first place.

I have looked urbandictionary.com and it reports:

1. characterized by uprightness or morality: a righteous observance of the law.
2. morally right or justifiable: righteous indignation.
3. acting in an upright, moral way; virtuous: a righteous and godly person.

I have not idea if that's correct.

The original thread title was 'eyo'

Looks like that was interpreted to us old folk as 'hey you' - I changed it to a more polite 'hello' ;)

Okay uh.. let me rephrase everything. 

This is the first "serious" watch forum I've been too. I'm surprised there are so many watchmakers here. 

I know quite a lot, but I will spend my entire life learning. Hopefully I can pick up some knowledge here.

      1972 Bulova President "E" Sea King 11ACACB movement

      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.
