Hi Gary  forund the attached on Ranfft.  The family gereration inclused the 200 series   ie  265.  checkout the attached 265 sheet against th Ranfft oictures.

I think he is search for Technical Instructions / Service Instructions instead of Parts List. Not sure if Omega 30T2 TIs are available. Like someone said before "Send email to Omega asking for something and they will start ignoring your request immediately." Something along those lines :-).

My advice to Gary would be to watch youtube videos on how-to service 30mm Omega movements. Some people produced fantastic videos.

hey

Thanks for replies.

I put this watch away a year ago until i had learned a bit about watches.

It is a early 1944 omega, I believe this to be correct as the movement number confirms it and they did not have the omega sign or caliber number on barrel bridge on the first hundred or so of the conveyor belt. Just 30T2 on plate.(see pics.)

It needs a center wheel and cannon pinion which i can get.

My problems start with all the calibers it is possible to be like 30T2,30T1, 30T2 pc etc.but i think i have nailed it to a base caliber 260.

The other problems are the balance staff and the jewel that is supposed to have a pivot or shaft on it to take the sub second hand.

I put balance staff for a omega 30T2 and it comes up with all the calibers i mentioned earlier so i dont know which one to order.

Also if i am right and the jewel in the plate were the seconds hand should attach should have a pivot or shaft to take the seconds hands it makes it a hell of a lot harder to to try and save it.

I dont know if a jewel from a similar model would be compatible with this movement????

As usual any advice or any mistakes i have made please let me know.

Also if you need more pics.

I have found the pivot for the sub seconds. Its on the end of the fourth wheel DOH.

Just what balancs staff now.

cheers

Congrats on "finding" the sub-second hand "thing". Must be frustrating to search for something that has not been installed yet ?

Your balance staff is readily available for "just" £56.16 EACH

You need a non-Inca (plain) balance staff which is Ronda part 1858. I have them and can do them for a tenner posted if you want one. 

Note that at some point someone has added a punch mark underneath where the balance cock attaches.

      Etachron regulation system

      By BobG · Posted

      Alex mentions the coils below the stud should remain the same as you move the regulator block along the terminal curve.  Mine do that. What he doesn’t discuss and is used in the other video is how the regulator block is used to adjust rate and positional error.  In Alex’s video once he sets the stud he never adjusts the regulator pins yet every new movement I get have the pins signing closed.

      The video I linked above does mention the spacing of the hairspring coils, and the importance of the regulator being able to move through its full range without distorting the hairspring - the terminal curve of the hairspring must be concentric with the regulator pins throughout the regulator’s range.  If you meticulously follow every step in this video, the regulator system should behave as intended, regardless of the brand of the movement.  Best Regards, Mark

      Very Old Watch- "Echappement A Ancre", "13 Rubis" on the case

      By coreymsnow · Posted

      Hi friends! My mother got a bunch of old watches from a horologist who was retiring, and he subsequently passed away. It's been in her studio for years, and she showed it to me today and I just fell in love with it. Sadly, I don't know a darn thing about it yet. It's quite old, or at least seems to be. It has two winding arbors, but the key is missing. The crystal appears to be some kind of yellowed plastic, which is odd- I think it was replaced at some point to possibly protect it or something. If I had to guess, it's from the mid-19th century, given that it has no keyless works and that it says "Anchor Escapement" in French. It looks to be about 18 ligne, and the case fob is positioned in the upper right corner. The face is missing the dial, the hands, and a couple of the wheels that drive the hands- I think. But the movement itself seems to be in excellent shape. The serial number on the movement matches the number on the case- it's stamped on the movement and on the case in two places. I haven't started any disassembly yet, but I'm wondering if anyone can give me some idea of what kind of movement it is, and where I might look to see what parts are missing from the face. i may even have a dial that would fit it. It's in good enough shape that I think I could get it running, assuming I could find the missing parts. Any insights are vastly appreciated and thank you!

      I’ve watched every video I can find on YouTube. Some of the info is contradictory and none mention  the effect on amplitude or spring coil spacing which I observed. I was hoping someone here is a Seiko expert and knows these inside out.
