kramerica2 Posted June 3, 2009 Report Share Posted June 3, 2009 Hey, a pretty new Narikaa's PO. with a 21j asian movement (2813). Tried to regulate it (it was almost a minute/day fast), and after closing the case back it just doesn't start again. Im pretty sure its fully winded (I can hear the spring noise). Is there something else I need to do? I've noticed that before I moved the little arm that regulated the time, there was a small wheel behind it moving (even at set time position) and now it doesn't move anymore? Is the watch dead? Or can I do something here? Thanks a lot... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andreww Posted June 3, 2009 Report Share Posted June 3, 2009 More than likely you moved the wrong arm. You are probably going to have to take it to a watchsmith. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rolexman Posted June 3, 2009 Report Share Posted June 3, 2009 Maybe the hacking lever is jamming... this explains the escape wheel (little wheel) not turning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RWG Technical Posted June 3, 2009 Report Share Posted June 3, 2009 More than likely you moved the beat arm, the beat is now out, the pallet is locked to the escape wheel, the only fix is to have a watchsmith time and regulate and adjust the beat on a watch analyzer.

kramerica2 Posted June 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2009 (edited) Ok, small update. I moved that arm back to where it was (even further back), and gave a little push to the tiny wheel. and the watch is working again. 2 problems though: It's now faster than before, gaining a second almost every minute. When I push the crown out to set time mode, after setting it back, I need to shake the watch a bit to make it move again. What, in my noob opinion, happened is that I did move the right arm, but also accidentally touched the tiny wheel and made it stop. the reason the watch is faster than before, is because the arm is now at a "faster" position than before, instead of a "slower" position. Does it make sense to you, or am I talking non-sense? Thank you all, again. EDIT: After looking at the tutorial again, I'm positive that I only touched the right arm (and maybe the wheel behind it). Should I try again to regulate? EDIT 2: I don't know if that info helps, but apparently I only need to shake it when its on set mode a long time. If it's only a couple of seconds it's fine.

ubiquitous Posted June 3, 2009 Report Share Posted June 3, 2009 Take it to someone who: 1) Knows how to properly regulate and adjust beat 2) Has the proper equipment to check beat rate This will yield the best results, and should not cost much to do. If you are interested in learning, ask if you can watch as they make these adjustments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
repfreak Posted June 3, 2009 Report Share Posted June 3, 2009 May as well get a DG4813 from Ajoesmith rather to go over so much trouble for a cheap movement.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
