Excelsior Park Tech Sheets

Recommended Posts

Does anyone out there happen to have a PDF of an Excelsior Park calibre 4 or 40 technical sheet?  I've recently acquired a piece with an EP 40 movement which requires some replacement parts.  The tech sheet would help me use proper nomenclature and part number as I begin my queries.

I've had a good hunt around for you but couldn't come up with anything. <_<

If it's about the nomenclature it looks like you'll have to get the sheets for more 'common' chronographs (Landeron, Valjoux etc.) and marry up the parts to the equivalents in your Excelsior Park.

Incidentally, WatchGuy has some good breakdowns of these particular movements which might be useful: https://watchguy.co.uk/cgi-bin/library?action=show_brand&brand=Excelsior Park

Thanks @WatchMaker, I've spent the last couple of days looking around and have not come up with the tech sheets either.  Fortunately I just received the Bestfit encyclopedias and it's got a lot of what I was looking for.  The naming convention seems to hold true as well.

Also, thank you for the heads up regarding Christian's photo library- I didn't realize he had already serviced three of these watches!

    • Welcome to the forum, enjoy. I have a varimatic that went  out of sequence because it’s hydronic oil ran very low. Must admit it’s still in my garage just know time to fix it. Purchased a cheap Indian Junta/ sonic Pearl as a stop gap a few years ago and it still performs perfectly so no incentive to fix the Varimatic. 
    • The plate is OK, thanks. It seems the answer to my question is that this is a 'hack' & for me another reminder that in general, one won't be the first person to be tinkering with an old timepiece!. As you day, I've been fortunate to have gotten some good advice and, just as important, encouragement. I've been lucky then not to have the balance spring break as a result of my novice 'ministrations' - but I did remember to 'stroke' rather than bend per se. The clock is of sentimental value to the owner so I'm relieved to have now got it running to time with the support & encourage of forum members like yourself.
    • Recently purchased a L&R Varimatic knowing that the piston does not fully rise in the cylinder. The likely cause is air in the system. The manual calls for using a bleeder cup, which is as rare as hen's teeth.Does anyone have any experience with this issue and if so, how did they resolve it?
    • Thanks ww, its maybe not as much of a bodge trick that i thought it was. 
    • Thank you for your introduction and welcome to this friendly forum. We all look forward to your contributions and continued involvement.  It would be nice if you told us a little about yourself.
