Hi guys

Working on a omega 565 and i am having problems with the keyless parts.

See pic s 2 and 3 the part i am pointing at.I put the piece sticking up into the round hole in pic 1 (someone told me that).

Now if i do that the piece i am pointing at (is it the yoke corrector?) to fit the hole its in pic 2 position. But then you cannot pull winding stem out as the hole stem comes out.

If i leave it as in pic 3 position the the winding stem pulls out correctly to all 3 positions. Position 1 to wind /position 2 to move hands and position 3 to jump the date.

Except it cannot jump date as its not in the correct position. to fit the hole in the date corrector.

I know i have messed up some where ,But where?

I know there are two versions of the setting lever spring, 1 has 3 notches and the other 2 notches.

I was told 1 was for the 565 with calander and the 2 notch without calender.

Some one  please tell me what is correct and what is wrong.

The piece i am talking about is not on the work sheet  that i can see unless the part is the correcting yoke 1568.

cheers

Am I correct on we're it connects to the date  corrector and what is that bit called

Pictures say a thousand words Cheers gary

right i see what you mean.

But can io ask ?when do you but the winding stem in?

Before you attach the calender and date indicator guard or afterwards?

also ii have found this to work with the split, stem but the all in one winding stem from cousins will not.

it works with the split stem when the female is on the inner.

Or am i just cursed and it only happens to me.

Have you ever tried them?

cheers

I always start assembling the keyless work by inserting the winding pinion+clutch, then stem and setting lever.

The pics are from when I cleaned my 565 .

I don't remember how I assembled the date corrector. I assume you do it with the stem pressed fully in.

    • If the watch is new, just return it to the seller for a refund or replacement.
    • Keevo, Welcome to the group ! I'm thinking that you have some damage to the hour, and/ or minute wheel. Possibly just a bent, otherwise damaged, or missing tooth.   Your photo didn't post that I can see. I think you'll have to open it to start really finding the issue. Best, Randy

    • In cap jewels on several watches I have serviced over the years. I've recently serviced a couple of Longines movements where the cap jewels were colourless. They are a real pain. Without colour they disappear when immersed in any liquid for cleaning 😲 Not necessarily. Cousins do a 10ml bottle for £26 which will last me for years. That's just half the price of a simple Bergeon silicone cushion, so not too expensive 🤣
    • I wanted to post an update as I have two movements running really well now, 230-250 amplitude , 0.5 and under beat error, and +/-8 seconds or so. I removed the hairspring assembly in order to start over and noticed that the terminal curve between the stud and regulator arm was distorted. The stud was lower than it should be. I massaged the curve to look pretty good and reinstalled it. I followed Alex's video advice, best I could with 10x magnification, and with the regulator arm set in the middle of the curve I adjusted the stud so the spring was centered. I then made sure I could move the regulator arm the entire terminal curve without upsetting the coils. I then put it back on the Timegrapher and began closing down the regulator pins until I saw a change in amplitude which means to me that the pins were now pinching the spring. I opened them slightly and it looks good except I have a 0 on dial down, +3 on dial up but -16 on crown down.  I'm a bit stuck on how to adjust out the positional error. I also noticed a drop in amplitude, 180-200 on crown down. In the other video link I posted at about minute 26 if I remember he adjusts out positional error by manipulating  the regulator pin gap. With crown down the hairspring falls away from the pin and the rate slows so he closes the pins a bit to keep them tighter in crown down position. That means the spring is tighter on dial up as well but then he moved the regulator arm to slow the movement.  There must be some Seiko experts here that have some methods for dialing out positional errors.
