ryaku Posted November 8, 2014 Report Share Posted November 8, 2014 (edited) Hi Everyone, I had to replace the stop lever on my 2824. The fix was successfull but after one night the movement stopped running and now I can see the balance wheel is stuck and doesn't oscillate anymore. I can move it in one direction but it is completely blocked in the opposite way. Keyless work is fine, I can set the time, wind the movement and change the date. As said it doesn't oscillate anymore. No idea what might be wrong. Any suggestion? Thank you ! Edited November 8, 2014 by ryaku Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rolexman Posted November 8, 2014 Report Share Posted November 8, 2014 Difficult to say. My money is on the balance brake lever Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
misiekped Posted November 8, 2014 Report Share Posted November 8, 2014 Did you try to removing the balance bridge and installing back? The balance jewel may be out of palette fork Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ceejay Posted November 8, 2014 Report Share Posted November 8, 2014 Did you try to removing the balance bridge and installing back? The balance jewel may be out of palette fork That's what I initially thought but if it ran then the impulse jewel must of been in the fork. If you took it apart no further than the pictures above then I would go back and take out the hacking lever, check thoroughly for any tiny hairs or dirt in the movement and put it back together without the having lever, it's a pretty useless bit of metal anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you try to removing the balance bridge and installing back? The balance jewel may be out of palette fork Nope, I didn't . I actually never touched the balance bridge, I read might be tricky to put it back in place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GenTLe Posted November 20, 2014 Report Share Posted November 20, 2014 (edited) Nope, I didn't . I actually never touched the balance bridge, I read might be tricky to put it back in place. Not that difficult. Unscrew the balance [censored] screw, put a 0.8 or 1mm screwdriver between the balance co-ck (the - is not to get it "censored") and the main plate and rotate the screwdriver a bit to unlock the balance co-ck from the main plate. Then with the tweezers grab delicately both the balance co-ck and the balance wheel (but STAY AWAY from the air spring) and remove it. Like you see here (from minute 3 to minute 4) Edited November 20, 2014 by GenTLe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
