Hello. I've been watching some WRC videos and I've watched the video about building your own watch with parts from eBay. So recently I've been trying to assemble my own watches. I've bought some cases, dials, hands, and bracelets off ebay along with a 7750 clone and 2 2824 clones. Unfortunately I've been having some problems with them when I remove the winding stem... And then I can't reinstall it. I've had to take the movements to jewelers to get them correctly reinstalled. Other than that, everything is going well.

Thank you for your introduction and welcome to this friendly forum.

You should get some old movements to practise on first. Pocket watch movement are best, bigger and very much like a standard wrist watch. Do not touch fusee P/W movements they are so different. 

This will help in knowing the parts of a watch.

Hello and welcome to the forum, regarding the stem re fitting ,  2824s  pull it out to the setting position then remove the stem, If you dont do that the keyless work moves making it dificult if not impossible to re fit the stem without removing the dial, hands, and any calendar work to gain access to re align the keyless work and re fit the stem.   The attached may be of help along with the TZ Glossary posted by old Hippy.

Thanks. I've figured out how to disassemble my movement and repair the problem I was having. And now I also have more experience properly removing the winding stem. I'm just not going to mess with the 7750 anymore. It's too complicated a movement for me to want to deal with.

      School Me Please: Sliding Mainspring Bridles

      By caseback · Posted

      This is the old/first(?) way for making a mainspring for an automatic. "Evolution-wise" it is an logical first step forward from a standard spring. Usually these are indeed replaced with a new spring with an integrated/fixed bridle. Lubrication as you would do with any automatic.

      Unknown watch movement logo. Very interesting

      Thank you. I was informed it was a cheap worthless Lack watch from India. It’s in a small mens watch looks to be around 1930 odd   Cleaned the movement and it’s going really well. Keeps good time.  This is a great site. Mystery solved. I’m obliged.

      School Me Please: Sliding Mainspring Bridles

      By RickTock · Posted

      I'm working on a Schild AS 1250 (a 'bumper' automatic) and it's the first time I've seen a mainspring like this. It has what looks like a regular manual-wind mainspring with a 'hook' at its outer extremity. On a manual-wind watch that 'hook' would engage with a 'hook' in the barrel wall to prevent it from rotating. However, the AS 1250's mainspring does not engage directly with the barrel but rather with a 'sliding bridle' that sits between the mainspring and the barrel wall, and evidently facilitates the slip necessary in an automatic. I'm not sure what advantage this two-piece configuration provides, but it highlights a gap (one of many) in my horological knowledge. I'm not sure if 'hook' is the correct term as used above, but please see photo below to see what I mean. Therefore, two questions please. 1. What is the proper way to lubricate a barrel from an automatic watch with a sliding bridle? My guess is the same as any automatic ms/barrel (e.g, a few dabs of braking grease on the interior barrel wall). What do the experts say? 2. I purchased a Generale Ressorts GR3472X mainspring, made for the AS 1250. It looks like the bridle is included and I don't need to salvage and re-use the old one. Is this a safe assumption? Thanks for the advice. If you have any other wisdom you'd like to share about separate sliding mainspring bridles, I would be very interested. Cheers!
