Hi all

I've almost finished the service on my Rado Diastar and was starting to put the automatic works back together and noticed the post for the first reduction wheel was missing.

Looks as though it was loose and the ultrasonic vibrations popped it out.

I have a spare automatic framework, but will I need to use a jewelling tool or staking tool to remove and refit the post?

I've bought a replacement part from the US, however, surprise surprise,  it's not here yet.

All thoughts on my question humbly received. 

Kind regards, 

Peter Bolan

It would be helpful to see a photo of the reduction wheel and the spare automatic unit.

Btw, why not to enjoy your watch as "manual wind" until you get your replacement part from the States?

Here's a couple of pics to hopefully show what I mean

Yea, i see what you mean. I believe it's called "Automatic Ratchet Wheel Driving Wheel ( 1482 ), ETA 2770"

ETA27701482  £5.96

Which replacement part did you order? Automatic Framework Device ( 1143 ), ETA 2770 ETA27701134 ?

 

Yes, you will benefit from using Staking tool if you would like to transfer the post / pin, whatever the proper name.

Yep, it was the automatic framework.

I didn't want to "Frankenstein " it, I wanted to keep it all gilt finish.

Understood. Good luck.

      Phinney Walker Mickey Mouse Watch HELP

      This eBay listing seems to verify that the watch disassembles as I suggested : here. The display caseback is held by the section that pushes out of the outermost rear bezel.  The movement seems to be a Ronda 1113. Best Regards, Mark

      Etachron regulation system

      By BobG · Posted

      I’ve been playing with a NH35 movement that which has the classic Etachron regulation system and a few balance assemblies as practice. What I’m trying to do is get comfortable with the effect both the stud and regulator pin positions have on rate and positional error. When I install a new balance assembly I install it with the assembly in place  on the cock and cock is attached to base plate. I use the back of the tweezers to push the stud into place and feel the click. However, I noticed that the angle of the stud can be adjusted and what I also noticed is that some movements have the stud carrier arm bent down a little and that changes the angle of the hairspring leaving the stud. This angle effects how the spring goes through the regulator pins and also the spacing of the coils opposite the stud. What I thought I was supposed to do is set the regulator block in the middle of the curve, open the pins, and use the stud angle to center the spring.  Then the stud is set.  Now on all the new NH movements I have seen the angle of the regulator block is about 60 degrees counter clockwise from full open. I watched a video where the author used the regulator pin adjust to adjust rate and position error. When I close down the pins I do notice that the rate increases but also the amplitude drops, the coil spacing changes and hairspring appears slight straighter between the stud and the regulator block. If I open the pins the amplitude comes back, the spring breathes a bit more between the stud and the regulator block and the rate slows.  So, a long post I know but I would really appreciate any advice on how to correctly adjust the etachron system for rate, amplitude and positional error.

      Tissot case back removal

      By Neverenoughwatches · Posted

      It's not really shown here , but the blade flips over, so it faces the other way. The knob and threaded case holder then pushes the caseback seam into the blade. Once the blade starts to penetrate into it, the lever and blade are lifted , which should hopefully pop the back off. A lot of fashion style cases have very tight seams and need a sharp blade to start separating them.  Don't buy the cheaper plastic versions of this tool, the posts with the pins through for blade holder break easily if the apply extra force to blade.
