hello all, 

I come to you today with a problem. I am working on a Rolex 2135 movement. The problem i am having is that when the automatic component is on the movement, hand winding is extremely rough. My customer has broken their stem by hand winding their watch. I have tried cleaning and oiling the entire movement. i have demagnetized the movement several times. and i even went as far as purchasing an entire new automatic device. this did not fix my problem. Is there anything that may be causing this to happen? 

any help would be greatly appreciated,

Marcus

Well you have me beaten then Marcus, however if the winding mechanism is that rough then there must be a witness mark left somewhere. Maybe strip it again and with an X10 look for marks. When the auto wind is assembled is there any chance that there is a longer screw fowling something. I am not a watchmaker just a jobber. Regards, Mike.

Provided proper lubrication and assembly, I believe you need to specifically demagnetize the autowinding upper bridge including the two complete reversing wheels again, if you haven't already. 

The small polished ratcheting levers inside the reversing mechanisms cause the shutter feel while winding when magnetized.

      1947 NOS Ambassador 'C'. Actually, the case came without the movement so the movement isn't NOS, but she sure is pretty.

      one of the problems we have is visible versus invisible. For instance millennium disulfide another high pressure lubricant black in color. I was told by somebody worked for the Boeing company that they had a piston like device somewhere that has eight call it around it to grab it so it has to slide and in the collet has to grab. But if somebody puts that type of dry grease on where grease with that in it it embeds itself basically in the metal and they have to throw the whole part away they get use it all. So I suspect on all the dry powdery lubricants that they will go into all the basically microscopic cracks and crannies of the metaland that's where it is visually at least until you scrub it off your visually going to see it which is good because you want your lubrication the stay word is. But I'm sure it doesn't last forever on the metal it's just a really nice lubrication
