GenTLe Posted January 2, 2015 Report Share Posted January 2, 2015 HI Simon, was it working and not it doesn't work anymore, or it's that way from the beginning (maybe a new just-arrived watch)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GenTLe Posted January 2, 2015 Report Share Posted January 2, 2015 So most probably it's a keyless fu_kup. Are you able to service the movement? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Legend Posted January 2, 2015 Report Share Posted January 2, 2015 They are a little part of what I do You seem talented with movement disassembly and servicing and have good working knowledge about the non chrono movements, going by your posts. Which means, that you're an asset to the community. Are you offering your services professionally? Sent from Mars using tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from Mars using tapatalk I'd say not yet, for now: I want to take some professional training before. There are still to many things I don't know how to do, i.e. managing crystals and bezels...

Liberacee Posted January 3, 2015 Report Share Posted January 3, 2015 I bet it's one of those clone of a clone movement andrew and josh are selling as "Asian ETA's" Playing dumb to it all. Unfortunately I have a lot of them the same, no parts available. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HaydenM Posted January 3, 2015 Report Share Posted January 3, 2015 It would probably help if you could show movement photos to confirm or reject the "clone of the clone" possibility, but otherwise it sounds like a keyless issue. What watch is it and do you know which ETA movement it's a clone of? If it's a 2824-2 there is a great tutorial at the other RWG about taking apart and reassembling the keyless works (which I have had to use more times that I care to mention ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could have used this video about EIGHT FRIGGIN YEARS AGO!! hahahaa! But I don't think this is what the OP's problem is about. Ezio, if I understand what you are saying correctly, you can unscrew the stem, and wind the watch - pull the stem to the second position and set the date both without problems- but when you pull the stem to the third position to set the time, you can advance the time a little bit by a turn or two of the stem but then it "slips" and turning the the stem doesn't advance the time anymore until you either reset the stem to the winding position or wait a minute or two and try again. Did I get this right? If so, I suspect it's a problem with the setting wheel (part #36) and how it engages with the minute wheel (part 39) under the minute train bridge (part 42). It's a pesky little part that gets engaged by the corrector lever (part 5) of the keyless works. First of all, it's got a flat side and domed side that's not entirely obvious and thus it's installed in only one way. If it's put in upside down, you can have problems. Secondly, if the minute train bridge isn't tight or slightly off, you can have issues with it staying engaged to the minute wheel. Lastly, with clone movements I've seen quality/fitment issues between the setting wheel and minute wheel - or simply lack of lubrication - that causes these two to argue with each other. 2836-2.pdf This is where I would start if I read your problem correctly.

mymanmatt Posted January 5, 2015 Report Share Posted January 5, 2015 I have had the same problem with 3 movements this month. The small gear that sets on the yoke corrector is to small to start with. Ive had to replace that gear and the minute wheel, which allows you to advance the cannon pinon to set the time forward. I replaced both with swiss gears and had no more problems. Oddly enough on another movement, the small gear on the other side that turns the date corrector wheel had the same problem. The date would not advance. Again, replaced with a swiss gear, problem fixed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
