ryaku Posted March 1, 2011 Report Posted March 1, 2011 Uhmm... this is not the first time I screw it. Sometimes i can fix easily but this time... I probabily pushed too ctrong the release butten and after I was able to wind the movement but not to set date and time. AFter my fix I was able to set averything but not to wind the movement. Crazy, uh? Any tip would be very appreciated. Thanks

FxrAndy Posted March 1, 2011 Report Posted March 1, 2011 It could Be the spring arm not pressing on the setting yolk that will move the sliding pinion against the ( forgot the name) wheel that turns the crown wheel
ryaku Posted March 1, 2011 Author Report Posted March 1, 2011 Not sure I understood but i'll have a try tomorrow Thanks Andy
Justasgood Posted March 1, 2011 Report Posted March 1, 2011 Remove the movement from case. Remove the dial and hands. Remove the date disc(If it has one) Find the offending part(Kindof a v shape with a Pin on the bottom) Reset it and re-assemble in reverse. Piece of cake. Sometimes if you are lucky, you can see the pin out of position by looking at the side of the movement just above the stem position. A very small screwdriver and a gentle nudge will reset it. Good luck!
ryaku Posted March 1, 2011 Author Report Posted March 1, 2011 I have reassembled at least 4 times No joy so far.
Justasgood Posted March 1, 2011 Report Posted March 1, 2011 You sure you have the right stem? Also, make sure the lever is positioned properly with the castle gear. The castle gear is what engages the barrel to wind and the wheel to set the time. It may be in backwards as well.

ryaku Posted March 2, 2011 Author Report Posted March 2, 2011 Fixed Here was the problem as you both probably suggested to me It's very easy if you know what must have done
Justasgood Posted March 2, 2011 Report Posted March 2, 2011 Fixed Here was the problem as you both probably suggested to me It's very easy if you know what must have done Well not quite, but, that spring keeps the castle gear engaged to the winding wheel. Explains the variation of Wind/no wind set/no set. Congrats....now, be gentle and enjoy your handy-work

Congrats....now, be gentle and enjoy your handy-work Great info here. Is there a tutorial on this somewhere?
ryaku Posted March 2, 2011 Author Report Posted March 2, 2011 There were a coupule on the old forum, not sure they are available also on RWG.
