Hello this is my first post. And as you would expect I have joined the Sellita SW-200-1 Stem SNAFU club and so I am trying to fix the keyless works.

I am stuck on trying to remove the Setting lever jumper because the second screw won't budge using my 080 Bergeon screwdriver.

I have marked it red on the photo attached below. Which you can see I have aleady damaged trying to unscrew.

Is this screw smaller than 0.8? I have looked in the Selita Technical documentation and can't see the screw size specified.

The smallest screwdriver I have is 080. What sizes would you recommend for the SW 200?

Any information about this screw size and general tips would be much appreciated. Thanks!

Only one screw holds the set spring down which you already have removed.

To keep all fidly parts from flying out of sight, I put the movement in a plastic bag and pry the spring up.

Good luck.

even though in your picture looks like a screw is still there that conflicts with the tech sheet? It appears to be that Nucejoe is correct there's only one screw.

Thanks. Indeed there is only one screw and I have managed to remove the setting level jumper. Thanks for your help.

I mistook the the second smaller hole in the setting lever jump as a screw when in fact its just a piece of the main plate poking through with a small notch in end, giving the appearance of a screw. I have mangled it a bit by turning it with my screwdriver. Hope that doesn't cause any problem as I reassemble the keyless works!

Where do you folks recommend I purchase spare parts online for the SW200-1? I am based in the UK and need a new screw for the setting lever jumper. Whilst I am at it I may as well refresh these parts too:

      Diy rotary cleaning machine

      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.

      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

      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.
