First Time Stripping a Moment (with the WRL videos)

[boss0boss]

Hi All, 

I have been steadily been making my way through course one and now into course 2. I am following along with the Chinese clone of the ETA 6947 (ST36 from eBay).

1. I noted a difference with the movement I have got vs the videos and I have an additional part on on the  balance cock (photos provided) and wondered what this part is (forgive me I am not sure what to search for to find any similar questions).

2. The Incabloc shock spring has actually detached (I am wondering how hard it's going to be get get this back in?

Thanks All

(forgive me if these are super basic questions, there is way more going on that it looks lol)

Ignoring question 2 as I found this thread - 

But still need help with number 1.

I believe the part you are looking at is the micro adjuster for the regulator. It allows you to adjust the regulator by turning the screw in it, and keeps pressure on the regulator to keep it from moving once adjusted.

Regulator spring.

found a different picture of the regulating screw and spring. the things you find with these movements are a lot of variations of things. Even in the Swiss tech sheet there's a note about variations are a variety of parts they conveniently don't say what those variations all. So they would be things like movements of a skeleton I used, or the screws are blued rather than the normal steel color. But they're all basically the same watch.

Thanks @JohnR725 @LarryHfor the detailed info there. Now I am reading your info, It makes perfect sense and not sure why I didn't spot that. I guess from that you say John, this could be true for the bridge configuration (or anything come to think of it) because I have a separate bridge over the escarpment wheel. 

Thanks again. 

 

Also FYI I managed to incabloc spring back into place, which was one of the hardest but most satisfying task I have done lol.

another interesting learning opportunity for this caliber is found at the link below. If you scroll down there some bonus items there is the dynamic dictionary. once you hit your flag for your language than the dictionary pops up then is also a listing of four watch calibers with the title of ETA SWISSL@B for which you want the 6497 but the other ones are fun to.then you'll find step-by-step disassembly reassembly of the watch although strangely enough that's not the way I would resemble the watch but still he gives you step-by-step. Even in the very beginning work comments about the dial feet screws their stars because that could be different. You could have that style or the side style for holding the dial feet in place. As I said lots of variations.

This is actually amazing timing, I came across this link a few weeks back. For the life of me could not find it again when I was looking two days ago, so thank you. This is an extremely useful resource and particularly like the reassemble and it gives you a couple of views of each component (that side view is very useful).
