Hello! I was desperately searching some parts of my watch.

I have JLC 5001.42 cal.900 - and my poor watchmaker said that the automatic of the watch is not working. It can only works by manual winding.
Can you please identify the part? (photos attached)

What is the name of this gear? 

 

Sorry my english.

Regards.

I don't think there's any chance of finding a tech guide on this, so no parts list. The same wheel from another caliber (Heuer 12) is listed as "coupling wheel mounted" part #1521. The Swiss use a standardized part number system, for example 721 is a balance complete, for all makes and calibers; to the part number you add the make and caliber when ordering a part.

 

Not to sound harsh but if your watchmaker doesn't know this you might want to find another. Also, from the images, it doesn't show any signs of being broken that I can see. Are you sure this is where your problem lies?

 

Finally, JLC won't sell parts. You can sometimes find vintage NOS parts from suppliers or elsewhere, but for more modern calibers there's not much you can do if you're not affiliated with the company.

      EMG Crown DL63

      By ColdWind · Posted

      This is a modern watch, the crown is definitely made from solid 316l steel. You must have heated the crown to some 200C caused the surface colour to change to light yellow. It's similiar to steel tempering. Yes it is the chromium oxide that forms during the heating that gives rise to the colours you see as you know stainless steel contains chromium. The fact the crown is SS lead me to a question, you've never heard of the alum method? Because alum would work perfectly in this case, instead of drilling, which, there is always a risk of damaging the crown, I would just let the crown chilling in some warm alum solution for 1-2 days and the job is done.   Sure can but the thing is the crown is not just mirror finishing, the lock symbol is polish while its background is some sand-blasted finishing so it would be hard to replicate that. You can buff it all shiny but losing the sand-blasted finishing means it won't look exactly like before.   Gasket is always tricky to me. I would try to use some gasket that look closest to the broken one in term of thickness and diameter, and check if the replacement gasket fit with some friction to the case tube. Lastly you can still use alum at this point.
