I am working on a caliber with different sized incabloc springs on upper and lower sides. I am assuming that the upper and lower descriptors are from the dial perspectve, so that the upper jewel is the dial/plate side and the lower jewel is the balance cock side. Is this right? Thanks fir answering a dumb question.

There is no question that is a dumb question. Ask away, we all are here to help.

Best statement on the forum yet!

Actually, it's just the opposite.

First off , I want to second and third the dumb question response by you and Geo .  I feel that when you get to a situation where you have a question  , you're curious and interested , you're learning , and you can help others that just got into that territory .

 

Second Gotwatch , I'm glad that you posted that link . I forgot that I have it in my files and once I get on that site ,  I really start surfing it . It definitely is a good one .

I was always advised that the dumbest thing to do with any question was to not ask it.

 

Asking questions is the outward expression of an enquiring mind, and an enquiring mind is a sign of intelligence, not dumbness.

      Etachron regulation system

      By JohnR725 · Posted

      This conversation is becoming a very confusing. The etachron system is a very nice system for manufacturing watches. As you know it consists of two components the stud and the regulator pins. Beautiful thing of this system is you can open up your regulator pins center the hairspring and as you close the pins they will close equally on both sides providing you centered it in the first place. It's not like you're going to become closer to one side or the other as the definition of the regulator pins is a bit confusing it's not exactly a slot sort of. I'm thinking maybe a little eight reading will be helpful for you. Then the file name was changed by me at the US patent but the wording of Seiko may or may not actually be attached to it soared up? I just did that so I can find it in my files. Normally patents are in people's name if they work for a company the company name will be there you'll notice the person lives in Japan which is interesting as the name would imply that this is a Swiss product. Somewhere I think I have the patents for the stud and I believe that is Swiss like a lot of things their Japanese and Swiss and then the Japanese let the Swiss name stand as it seems you more popular in case as you read up on the patents of the regulator pins or pin will see and it should explain exactly how and why it works also why it's important to always close at an open in specific directions because the pins actually have a shaped to them it's very hard to see the shape as it's very tiny.   As a reminder with this system it's mass-produced. I wouldn't be at all surprised if they use cameras and computers to do all of the adjustments.  The meaning of this is that the majority of watches will function as there supposed to and do what they're supposed to do the system will allow us for some minor in tolerance and has more than likely as I said no human hand is ever touched those watches that's the way they left the factory and they work fine.

      I bought an old Bergeon 5555. The bottom of the tank was full of petrified salts, which also corroded the metal parts a bit. I would use just distilled water.
