Hi everyone,

I have an skx013 and my oscillating weight is making a rattling noise when I shake it vertically. I screwed the screw that holds the oscillating weight but looks like the ball bearing is the problem.
Therefore, I went to see an oscillating weight and it costs 32$ which is a bit too much. So, I found a 22$ NH36 movement and wanted to know if I can use its oscillating weight in the 7s26c of my skx013?

In short, is the oscillating weight interchangeable between 7s26 and 4r35(NH36)?

If there is any other way to change only the ball bearing please let me know.

Thank you!

First of all, as of often answered to the same query, no need to worry about the noise, as long the watch winds all is good. Then you can get another rotor for much less on Ebay, no need to buy a brand new mov't. Or PM me you address and I will send one for free.

Thanks a lot for your reply!
The watch winds okay as of now, but I have it as a gift, and would like to keep it in a good shape. Therefore, I wanna fix this.
Also, I don't want to just swap the 7s26 to another movement later, but rather keep the original. But with this noise of damaged bearings in the oscillating weight I am afraid that it can damage the movement in the long run.

I PM'ed you my address, I would appreciate that a lot.

Thanks again!

    • I have no experience with this watch, but looking at the pictures from the ebay listing linked above, it looks like the outer metal bezel at the back of the watch may not be part of the case proper.  It looks like the watch and strap are sandwiched together, and an inner case may push out of the rear bezel towards the front of the watch.  A case style similar to the Roamer watches where the crystal, movement and caseback pushed out through the back of an outer bezel, only in reverse - this one may push out towards the front.  To test this, you would need to hold the watch, dial down, supporting the dial side of the watch around the edge of the bezel without touching the bezel itself. Then push down carefully on the inner metal ring you can see at the back of the watch. I’m speculating here, proceed at your own risk. Hopefully someone with hands on experience of these watches can chime in! Best Regards, Mark
    • Thanks, Mark. That's the kind of reassurance many of us wanted to hear! Yes, life is unfortunately unpredictable, and it would be a shame if the many dedicated WRT: ers became stranded if, god forbid, something happened to you and WRT stopped working.
    • The case back is perfectly aligned to the case and has no provisions for a screwing tool. The T-Sport series has snap on backs.
    • For me the text looks too aligned and with no obvious way to grip as a screw back.
    • There’s no indents & there’s no little groove to pry it off anywhere! So I don’t know if it’s screw down or pry off 👍
