Too bad ... FIRST lesson is "good and clean place = good and clean work" ... I learned that one from direct experience Keep the link as it gives really good advices aboutu "how to position this or that" ... using that document you could desassemble and reassemble a 28xx keyless works in less than 5 minutes and get perfect results. Just take note that the movement used in that tuto is a no-date so the combined setting lever jumper has only 2 positions on the setting lever spring (setting + winding). Have a look at the last pic and you will see how the U-spring should go to left of the yoke return pin ... that could explain why your movement didn't wind after reassembly. IMPORTANT : do NOT throw your broken movement away ... kep it aside, gather spare parts along the way ... someday you will repair it

Problem YES but not big at all as you can fix it yourself with the good informations. Here you go http://kronometric.org/article/eta/eta_keyless_assy.html Of course you'll have to first remove the date wheel if your movement have one and you're ready to go. I've never worked on 2846s (only 2836s and 2834s) but I've read somewhere here that some of those have hacking function. If your movement was hacking (before you screwed the keyless works of course) then take care of placing the hacking lever in the clutch groove before putting everything back. If you don't remember just have look at the balance side of the movement and check if there is a tiny lever close to the balance wheel ... if not so your movement wasn't hacking andyou can skip that step. Feel free to ask if you need some help EDIT : BTW ... is your movement a 2836 or 2846 ? cause sometimes you write 36 and sometimes 46 Nevertheless 36 or 46, and A or ETA, the link above wil be usefull to fix your keyless works. One usefull thing your sould do, before putting the setting lever on, is to lubricate a little the hole on the movement plate where the setting lever's pin goes ... doing that way you'll be certain that the pin will come back to place after pushing on it to remove the stem. Another usefull thing you could do is to put some grease on the "squared" part of the stem before putting it back on, then turn it both ways while putting it back, so that the square part of the stem can be aligned with the square hole on the wheel

Arrived today from The Legend!

Took delivery of this yesterday, and I'm extremely pleased with the quality. Excuse the crumbs on the watch, I ate breakfast rabidly this morning. The colors all look good to my eye, the text printing is crisp, and everything is assembled solidly. The bezel and crown and smooth and work nicely, the handwinding is good with no 'gritty' feel. My only observation is the crown could be engraved a little deeper, but at a glance it looks correct. A front shot on the wrist for now until I can get some better ones.
