llsteve80 Posted February 25, 2008 Report Share Posted February 25, 2008 My center seconds hand started slipping, so I had to put it back on. I had my movement in my movement holder, I didn't bump it, drop it, kick it, nothing. But when I was done, I noticed a little black rubber ring laying on the desk near where all the action was taking place. Now, WTF is this? Could it be one of the nylon clutches, or are those more rigid? Hopefully, it's just something that was already on my desk. But I think not, the 6:00 subdial is no longer creeping, or wandering if you will. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
takashi Posted February 25, 2008 Report Share Posted February 25, 2008 Gasket from your Crown/chrono pushers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
llsteve80 Posted February 25, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2008 Gasket from your Crown/chrono pushers? Thats what I was thinking, but I don't recall having the chrono pushers anywhere near that area. It's very small, maybe 1.5mm across Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
POTR Posted February 25, 2008 Report Share Posted February 25, 2008 Probably from the crown tube, when you removed the crown to take the movement out... If you don't pull the crown and stem straight out, it can drag the gasket out of the tube. I've got some of those stored in a plastic box, stacked on a Safety Pin to make it easier to pick them up...

RWG Technical Posted February 25, 2008 Report Share Posted February 25, 2008 Should be a crown gasket. Unless you removed a pusher, the o'ring is captured in the case. Have a look at the stem with the crown and stem removed, you should find a spot for it. RG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
