maxse Posted June 3, 2011 Report Share Posted June 3, 2011 Hi everyone, I really need your help as I got my 005k a few days ago which was working great and stopped today and I really need to have it working tonight. I took the case back off and then the bridges and noticed that one of the gears (small silver one) was just moving around loose inside.I was able to get to it by taking off a gold-plated gear but now I don't know where the silver gear actually goes! I searched on here and couldn't find anything about servicing an Asian 6497-1 that could help me. I am attaching pictures of what I see here. I really hope that you guys could help me with this.

kdspiv Posted June 3, 2011 Report Share Posted June 3, 2011 Here is your bible. REMEMBER!!!! The Bridges are a bit different in the instructions as they are for a standard swiss ETA. http://www.eta.ch/swisslab/6497/6947.html After tonight, have it SERVICED unless you are willing to order the correct tools, cleaners, and lubes to do it yourself. This is the movement that every watchsmith in my family started with so have fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is most likely some damage so a fix tonight is probably not in the cards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bike Mike Posted June 4, 2011 Report Share Posted June 4, 2011 Easy fix for any watch maker. Don't risk doing it yourself as the escape wheel pivots are very easy to break if you don't know what you are doing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
