Hey

Why won't this movement come out. Stems out. Two gold rings are off. 

But it won't come out. 

And I have not noticed this other gold ring before. 

Cannot find part on work sheet either. 

I have opened this twice before and not noticed this washer or ring

Cheers

Gary

Assuming this is a front-loader, did you return the remains of the stem back to setting position before rotating the movement?

Hey rod

No I did not return the stem. I turned that gold shim until it became loose which was nice. 

Only problem now is. When watch all back together the winding stems do not seem to meet. And they did when I srarted. DOH

Not so cheerful

in the picture there appears to be a gold ring? You need to rotate this one it's used to lock the movement in place.

      Etachron regulation system

      By BobG · Posted

      Good stuff, thanks!!!  I'm going to save it and re-read your post and watch the video again.  I have a few follow-up question:  My understanding is that the spring vibrates or breathes between the the two regulator pins. When the pins are fully open the effective spring length is from the stud and theoretically no rate adjustment can be made by moving the regulator arm. As the pins are closed the spring gets closer to one side of the regulator block but doesn't touch a pin. You can still move the regulator carrier the entire terminal curve without upsetting the coils.  The rate can now be adjusted using the regulator because the effective spring length can be modified.  My question is: Does the hairspring bounce off and touch one of the pins as it breathes? Is that why the effective hairspring length is adjusted by moving the regulator?  And follow-up: How is amplitude affected by the spring between the pins? Does fully open pins, dial up position = max amplitude?  When spring adjusted to 1/2 width still = max amplitude? When I have crown down gravity is pulling the spring against one of the pins and I would expect rate to go up and amplitude to go down. Is that correct?

      A quick Google for Longines 25.17 found several similar watches - like this one with writing on the case back similar to yours https://benjaminmarcello.nl/product/longines-cal-25-17-tank-from-1938/

      Apps like Watch Accuracy Meter can be inaccurate, and will read some watches better than others.  What daily rate does Watch Accuracy Meter give you if you check the Longines once it’s been running for 24 hours? Best Regards, Mark

      Then, can I replace it by purchasing a regular ruby with the same or similar width and height and pivot groove size from eBay? If I replace it like the above and operate the movement, will there be no problem?
