Hi everyone!

I got a little problem with a Dubois-Depraz chronographe module! It sits on a ESA quartz movement in a Tag Heuer. The owner wanted to "inspect" the movement and took it apart! Don´t ask me why....

He gave me the parts, springs, tiny levers and so on. He asked me, if I could put it back together....! Yes, it IS a problem, anyway....! But Marc made a wonderfull video tutorial for this! So it was not a big problem to find the location for all these parts! The only problem is: The spring for the reset hammer (see pic) is missing! Now, my question is: Where can I get parts for this module? Any idea?

Thanks for any answer!

Neither Dubois Depraz or any watch manufacturer that uses his modules do sell parts to anyone. 

So either you fabricate or adapt one, or buy another module in whatever conditions to get it. 

The last alternative is to send the watch to an official service center where after a comprehensive estimate they will replace the entire module as per standard practice..

      By the way, I opened my watch, looked under a magnifying glass, there is simply no grease, the screws are without traces, the slots are intact.I think it's just a matter of maintenance.there are no rotor marks on the body. And to remove the strap from yours, just press on the 1st side,and slightly move the strap, then on the other side and it will come off.

      Hi My name is Chris. Just started trying to learn about watch and clock repair as a result of repairing my fathers old 1890s police station clock (about a year ago). The clock was Ok, but having graduated to pocket watches and then wrist watches, despite the really excellent stuff on Youtube, I am struggling a bit.  As a retired engineer, I find the engineering exquisite, but a bit on the fiddly side.  I have done a few practice watches with a little success but failed a few, but have had success with Seiko 7005s, 7009s etc, but have just attempted a citizen 5430.  Nightmare.  My wife thought I had found religion as I spent so much time on my knees with my eyes to the floor looking for springs.  Got through that and found that the balance is shot.  Trying to source one or something that will fit from the citizen range has me totally perplexed.  Tried Ebay, Cousins etc without luck.  Any advice as to alternatives that will fit or alternative sources would be gratefully received.

      Typical and max diameter of faceplate for 8mm WW lathe?

      By Klassiker · Posted

      Agreed, this is puzzling. Can you ask questions or inspect the lots before bidding? My Boley & Leinen Reform face plate is dia. 95mm exactly. It's possible that 4 inches is a slightly too large approximation, but why then make the distinction to 3 11/16 for the sake of 8mm? If the larger ones are truly 4" then they will clash with the bed, but then I have no idea which 8mm lathe would take them. All 8mm lathes have spindle height 50mm or less, as far as I know. The spindle height is, as you say, standard 50mm for W.W.
