Hi folks. Does anyone have any ideas what might be wrong with this keyless works from an Omega 3330? (Similar to ETA 7750).

It won't stay in position 2. It jumps to position 3. I'm guessing the yoke or the setting lever is worn but I'm not sure which. It's not obvious to me how it even has a position 2... But it does!

To add, parts for this movement are highly restricted. So I'm wondering if ETA 7750 keyless works part will fit. They look identical. But Omega tweaked with movement in so many ways it's hard to know...

Without a doubt, the Omega 3330 setting jumper lever is different than the 7750's. The 3330 has only the one large ridge while the 7750 has 2. This means the Omega only has 2 positions because of this difference. However, the Omega changes the date via a button according to THIS thread over on Omega forums.

Hi  you may find these sheets handy in identifying the parts, I am not a   chrono man  arthritic fingers (old Age)  Mainly clocks and pocket watches do a few standard watches but chrono's to fiddly now.

Thank you. It’s actually the 3330 I’m working on. Documentation seems very hard to find.

    • This conversation is becoming a very confusing. The etachron system is a very nice system for manufacturing watches. As you know it consists of two components the stud and the regulator pins. Beautiful thing of this system is you can open up your regulator pins center the hairspring and as you close the pins they will close equally on both sides providing you centered it in the first place. It's not like you're going to become closer to one side or the other as the definition of the regulator pins is a bit confusing it's not exactly a slot sort of. I'm thinking maybe a little eight reading will be helpful for you. Then the file name was changed by me at the US patent but the wording of Seiko may or may not actually be attached to it soared up? I just did that so I can find it in my files. Normally patents are in people's name if they work for a company the company name will be there you'll notice the person lives in Japan which is interesting as the name would imply that this is a Swiss product. Somewhere I think I have the patents for the stud and I believe that is Swiss like a lot of things their Japanese and Swiss and then the Japanese let the Swiss name stand as it seems you more popular in case as you read up on the patents of the regulator pins or pin will see and it should explain exactly how and why it works also why it's important to always close at an open in specific directions because the pins actually have a shaped to them it's very hard to see the shape as it's very tiny.   As a reminder with this system it's mass-produced. I wouldn't be at all surprised if they use cameras and computers to do all of the adjustments.  The meaning of this is that the majority of watches will function as there supposed to and do what they're supposed to do the system will allow us for some minor in tolerance and has more than likely as I said no human hand is ever touched those watches that's the way they left the factory and they work fine.

    • These still seem stupid expensive for a bottle, but still £100 cheaper than than the Moebius ones. Anyone have any experience of these: https://www.cousinsuk.com/product/epilame-fixodrop-special-bottle-horotec
    • Yes, this is not a basic part. Here are some pictures of making one  
    • I bought an old Bergeon 5555. The bottom of the tank was full of petrified salts, which also corroded the metal parts a bit. I would use just distilled water. 
    • Can anyone help me identify this watch/pendant. It was inherited by me from my grandmother and I am unsure as to what it is. It's a watch/necklace with a blue face with the inscription "INGERSOLL" and "Swiss Made". Have tried looking online but to no avail. If anyone knows a make/model or knows where I might be able to find out about it, that would be very helpful.
