ryaku Posted March 1, 2011 Report Share 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FxrAndy Posted March 1, 2011 Report Share 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Justasgood Posted March 1, 2011 Report Share 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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryaku Posted March 1, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2011 I have reassembled at least 4 times No joy so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justasgood Posted March 1, 2011 Report Share 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll check the lever tomorrow , thanks Justasgood Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryaku Posted March 2, 2011 Author Report Share 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justasgood Posted March 2, 2011 Report Share 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
