hey guys

These are both supposed to be cal 565 omega. i have 4 of them 3 are the same but 1 is not i have pointed out 1 difference i have spotted.

I am just wandering, if there all supposed to be base cal 563 why the difference. They are also slightly different in the keyless area as well.

can anyone explain please.

cheers

The screw mounted lower setting is the earlier version (or a different plate all together).

I believe there was an "A" stamped on the later ones somewhere... Perhaps I'm misremembering too...

this indirectly came up in another discussion which I have at the link below. Somebody was looking for the lower balance spring and had two choices. As you can see from your picture we can see why the confusion on the parts list because there are two choices. One that uses a screw and one that does not. then technically for the parts list there are three different choices two of them are INCABLOC and one appears to be Kif

You'll find all sorts of interesting changes that can occur to watches especially if manufactured over a long period of time.

      Diy rotary cleaning machine

      By Neverenoughwatches · Posted

      To add to this unusual cleaning idea, there is another type of device whereby the internal spinning parts that move through the fluid are not physically connected to the motor.  The internal whisk is propelled via a magnetic connection, so no damaged gaskets due to solvent contamination.

      This is a method that Jon uses, and has posted a video of performing it somewhere .

      Etachron regulation system

      By Mercurial · Posted

      Did you watch the whole video? Once Alex has set the stud, he first corrects the best error, then checks that the hairspring coils are breathing concentrically, then turns the stud to centre the hairspring between the open regulator pins.  He then checks that the regulator can traverse the terminal curve without disturbing the hairspring. A correction is needed, which he performs.  He then reinstalls the balance and re-centres the hairspring between the regulator pins, and verifies that the regulator traverses the terminal curve without disturbing the hairspring.  Finally, he demonstrates how to close the gap between pins.  He then recaps the whole process, fleshing out more detail. If you follow this process, you have correctly set up the regulator pins, and are ready to set the rate of the watch.  If you are interested in learning more about the effects of the regulator pin spacing on positional rates etc, you can read any literature regarding regulator pins. The etachron system makes adjusting beat, centering the hairspring between the regulator pins and adjusting the gap between the pins very convenient, but the same rules that apply to old style regulator pins apply to the etachron system.  This video explains the basics :    I hope that helps, Mark

      Some photos of the angles you are talking about, and the changes you are seeing to coil spacing etc. would be really useful. Part of your problem could be that you are closing the pins too far and pinching the hairspring. Adjusting the pin separation should not affect amplitude. Nor should it change the coil separation.

      Rolex cal. 3135 issues

      By VWatchie · Posted

      Did you try it on a Rolex ref. 16600 specifically? Congrats on the nice condition of the movement in your watch. Even so, remember to check the rotor play or those marks around the main plate may start to build up.
