Guest HaloArchive Posted August 13, 2009 Report Share Posted August 13, 2009 It is the H3 cannon pin Yes, the H3 will be a direct fit as far as gearing etc. It will get the hands to the required height and will get rid of that noticeable gap.

Clint Eastwood Posted August 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2009 Thanks for answer halo Yes, i know it is h3 cannon pin, but do you know the complete ref ? to order from cousins as i don't find it and the web site is very very slow. if i asked if it always fit it is because the one i have use before don't always work, the hands stop to moove for 20 or 30 minutes but the movement always run, it result of a lake of friction because the hole on the H3 pin is a little bit to big so don't catch enough. I search more heigh than the H3 because no hands available have enough heigh tube on it; what i need is pin enough heigh, like, if you know, the heigh ones i have on my angelus movements. thanks for the help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmcsherry Posted August 14, 2009 Report Share Posted August 14, 2009 CousinsUK description: (Please correct me if I'm wrong, but I think these are the correct ones!) Unitas 6497 250 Hour Wheel Height 2.15 - UT6497250H215 Unitas 6497 240 Cannon Pinion Height 3.15 - UT6497240H315 The Angelus canon pinion is about 5.3mm; you won't find a Unitas one this length, unless you have a watchmaker extend the pinion manually.

Cats Posted August 14, 2009 Report Share Posted August 14, 2009 I have to dig into my watchbox but i think that both cannon pinion and hour wheel have to from the same type. So to my opinion it has to be both H3. Carpe Diem Cats Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope this helps! Always present to help me, thanks R ! I will do the order today to have it after my holidays. The good heigh i would like will be beetween angelus and H3, around 4mm, but this one willbe enough to mod. (I cannot access to repgeek since yeserday night, is it the same for others here ? ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
