mastrmindalliance Posted November 23, 2011 Report Share Posted November 23, 2011 Hi so i need to remove this: I don't want to just yank it out. I want to remove it properly as it seems to be wrapped around whatever is under that jewel and the seconds wheel so just tweezering the bastard will leave leftover pube. The reason i think yanking it out wont properly fix it, is that it arrived working only intermittently. The olde plam clap would get it working again, but as of a couple days ago it's stopped completely. Leading me to believe it's wrapped around something. Does anyone know how little of the movement i can get away with removing to get at the seconds wheel post/cog? Thanks for any help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

krpster Posted November 24, 2011 Report Share Posted November 24, 2011 Wow. You got that answer fast. I hope it was correct advice. Just to cover the bases perform the following. 1) While holding the crown tightly in one hand pull back the click from the ratchet wheel to allow the barrel to unload it's energy 2) Slowly release pressure from the crown and allow it to unwind....slowly...until all power is released 3) Remove bridge covering said pube 4) Remove offending pube 5) May as well clean the bridge and also pinion with some rodico while it is off 6) Re-assemble bridge 7) Lube where appropriate Steps 1 and 2 are key. If all power is not released from the barrel the movement will go kaploey when that bridge comes off and damage will ensue. Hope you get your pubes in order Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mastrmindalliance Posted November 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2011 How'd you get a pube caught in your movement? I can't take responsibility for the pubing of this movement. It arrived sealed with a bonus. Ziggiy is your man and the only watchmaker with pube removal experience I know of I use zig but think i can take care of this myself. Wow. You got that answer fast. I hope it was correct advice. Just to cover the bases perform the following. 1) While holding the crown tightly in one hand pull back the click from the ratchet wheel to allow the barrel to unload it's energy 2) Slowly release pressure from the crown and allow it to unwind....slowly...until all power is released yep, something like a dozen posts in matter of minutes. But thanks for this. That wraps it up better than anything i found online. Thanks all 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maxman Posted February 1, 2012 Report Share Posted February 1, 2012 I have a pubie between the 10-11 hour markers on my Panerai 250. I didnt see the lil booger for a year or so after I purchased the watch.

Nanuq Posted February 1, 2012 Report Share Posted February 1, 2012 Hey it could be worse, I have bear crap in the crown tube on my Snowflake. I didn't want to get quite close enough for a bear pube. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
