Hey lovely people!
 

I'm in need of some help searching for a part. Half of a screw head on an Omega 562 that I'm working on has snapped off. Thankfully I was still able to remove the screw from the mainplate. The screw is for the pressure spring for the setting lever. In the Omega 562 parts catalogue, the pressure spring is part number 470 1132 but the screw is not listed. Does anyone happen to know the part number for this screw? Or is it the same as another screw in the 562?

 

Any help is much appreciated! I'd much rather go with a genuine Omega part than have to find "something that fits."

 

Thanks!

I may have just answered my own question: I think it is part number 470 2625, but if someone is able to confirm this before I place the order, that'd be awesome!

 Could be same as a 2631 screw, like the below?  If so confirm the dia. and give me your address in PM and I will send free of  charge.

The diameter of the screw head is 1mm, and the diameter of the threads is 0.57mm.

Thanks jdm! I'll PM you.

Urdelar.de (link here in case anyone else needs one) has screw 2631 listed as "Screw for Pressure Spring for Setting Lever" and that it fits caliber 562! jdm to the rescue! ?

      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.

      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.
