Tiyal Posted June 19, 2014 Report Share Posted June 19, 2014 Aloha all! First post in a looooong time. I just moved the hand wheels from one eta to another to get H4 from H2. I pulled the hour and minute wheels no problem. Can of worms with the flip and removal of the second hand wheel / post. Got every thing back together (after twice losing the god da** fk** n little spring that stops the ratcheting wheel) but somthing is Monkeyd up. When i wind the movement is spinning the hand wheel. Whatd i miss? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sneed12 Posted June 19, 2014 Report Share Posted June 19, 2014 (edited) So you swapped the fourth wheel, which carries the seconds hand, by removing the train bridge on the back side of the movement? And now when you wind the watch, all the hands spin very quickly? If so, then the escape wheel is not engaging the pallet fork, and the mainspring is discharging through the gear train without being stopped. You need to find out why. Something didn't go together correctly when you reinstalled the bridge. Edited June 19, 2014 by sneed12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
