TeeJay Posted September 27, 2008 Report Share Posted September 27, 2008 ...and the patient survived When winding my 113, I noticed that when letting go of the crown, it sounded like it was 'un-winding' a little, with the 'big wheel' slipping back (I'm not too sure of the proper part names) At first, I was looking at the 'catch' which stops the 'big wheel' reversing on itself, and wondered if the small 'beak' on it might have worn away, meaning it wasn't interacting with the wheel's teeth properly. However, on a closer inspection, I saw that the 'beak' was actually passing under the teeth, so, very carefully, I pressed down on the 'big wheel', and tightened it's screw... The movement now winds properly again, without any 'unwinding' Only a simply thing, I know, but I'm really pleased that I managed to diagnose the fault and fix it myself, without killing the movement Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
