dutchguy2 Posted May 19, 2011 Report Posted May 19, 2011 I have a couple of base projects running but don't have any 6497-1 movements without the seconds post. Is it hard to remove? How do I do this?
ocram Posted May 19, 2011 Report Posted May 19, 2011 Every watchmaker would cry.....but I just file it down carefully with the pin downwards. So nothing will fall into the movement. Sent from my iPhone
kbh Posted May 19, 2011 Report Posted May 19, 2011 Every watchmaker would cry.....but I just file it down carefully with the pin downwards. So nothing will fall into the movement. Sent from my iPhone I'm even worse. I let it run out of power and snipped it off with finger nail clippers. There is a tutorial around here someplace showing the correct way, I believe.

redwatch Posted May 19, 2011 Report Posted May 19, 2011 Thanks guys. If you happen to run in the threat about more correct way please let me know. you can find a very detailed step-by-step disassembly guide here I'd say follow that until you get to the seconds hand gear and then reverse it with that part removed. EDIT: Just read Francisco's tutorial and I see that you do need to keep the "seconds wheel", but that disassembly guide is quite handy to get you to that point of removing the seconds wheel.
