cousin_hub Posted April 14, 2014 Report Share Posted April 14, 2014 Hi When I removed my watch the other night, a 6239 Rolex David Wong, she slipped out of my hands and fell on the wafer. Fortunately there was a carpet but since it does not want to restart :-/ A friend opened it to watch the movement and he told me that it appeared that the spiral was stuck. What do you think? And you would know someone who could repair me? regards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prdubis Posted April 14, 2014 Report Share Posted April 14, 2014 Any movement pic? Did you try to gently smatch the watch head inside your hand palm? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

freddy333 Posted April 15, 2014 Report Share Posted April 15, 2014 It sounds like the hairspring got tangled onto an adjoining wheel. A good, clear macro of the balance wheel (ie, 'the spiral') would help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cousin_hub Posted April 15, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2014 Ok thanks. I will try to take a macro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FxrAndy Posted April 15, 2014 Report Share Posted April 15, 2014 Could be over banked, a palet stone sitting on the wrong side if the escape wheel, fairly easy fix if it is that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

freddy333 Posted April 16, 2014 Report Share Posted April 16, 2014 It looks like your hairspring is tangled. The spirals should all be evenly spaced. If you have a loupe or magnifying glass, look closely at the motion of the hairspring as you gently rotate the balance wheel (do not force it) & you should be able to locate what the spring is hanging-up on. Because of the fragility of the hairspring, I would recommend having a watchmaker untangle it for you. Otherwise, your next request will likely be for instructions on how to replace a mangled hairspring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lloyd Posted April 16, 2014 Report Share Posted April 16, 2014 It is possible the movement was over oiled and a drop of oil got on the spring Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FxrAndy Posted April 17, 2014 Report Share Posted April 17, 2014 We will see when it gets to me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
