Lost Screw for 2824-2 Movement

Hey all. I'm working on a Seagull ST2130 rep for an ETA 2824-2 movement. This is my first foray into watch building, so pardon any errors or incorrect terms! I'm already having my first adventure and when working with the movement I messed up the keyless works. I did some research to find that was the issue, and watched some videos to learn how to fix it. I have been semi-successful in learning about the entire function of the keyless, resetting it to where it is now working again. I had to disassemble a few times after the date wheel wasn't working properly, or some gears were misaligned and didn't allow the watch to manually wind. On my last time reassembling I pinched a screw too tightly with my tweezers and it went flying across the room! The screw was to attach the minute wheel bridge to the movement. I'm wondering if there is any way that a case clamp screw would work in its place or where I should purchase replacement screws from? Also, at first glance I thought the 3 screws I removed for the minute wheel bridge, the clutch, and the date jumper were all the same / interchangeable but from research seems they may not be. Is there a way to tell these screws apart? And a good place to pick up a few extras?

I am seeing for these 3 screws there is 52595 (date jumper), 5445 (clutch / set bridge), 5462 (minute work cock). Are 52595 & 5445 the same? How to tell the difference between 5462 and 5445?

If you search for "2824 screws" on AliExpress, you'll find several sellers with screws that might not be labelled correctly. But if you look at the photos, you should be able to pick out the one you need.

Also, if you search for "2824 parts", you will find other parts that might get lost or damaged. But be very careful not to lose the balance jewels or springs. I've not come across any seller that stock those.

Good luck and enjoy.

      Hour hand won’t go past certain spot when adjusting time forwards

      If the watch is new, just return it to the seller for a refund or replacement.

      Keevo, Welcome to the group ! I'm thinking that you have some damage to the hour, and/ or minute wheel. Possibly just a bent, otherwise damaged, or missing tooth.   Your photo didn't post that I can see. I think you'll have to open it to start really finding the issue. Best, Randy

      Cap jewel with what looks like a circular engraving around the edge

      By mikepilk · Posted

      In cap jewels on several watches I have serviced over the years. I've recently serviced a couple of Longines movements where the cap jewels were colourless. They are a real pain. Without colour they disappear when immersed in any liquid for cleaning 😲 Not necessarily. Cousins do a 10ml bottle for £26 which will last me for years. That's just half the price of a simple Bergeon silicone cushion, so not too expensive 🤣

      Etachron regulation system

      I wanted to post an update as I have two movements running really well now, 230-250 amplitude , 0.5 and under beat error, and +/-8 seconds or so. I removed the hairspring assembly in order to start over and noticed that the terminal curve between the stud and regulator arm was distorted. The stud was lower than it should be. I massaged the curve to look pretty good and reinstalled it. I followed Alex's video advice, best I could with 10x magnification, and with the regulator arm set in the middle of the curve I adjusted the stud so the spring was centered. I then made sure I could move the regulator arm the entire terminal curve without upsetting the coils. I then put it back on the Timegrapher and began closing down the regulator pins until I saw a change in amplitude which means to me that the pins were now pinching the spring. I opened them slightly and it looks good except I have a 0 on dial down, +3 on dial up but -16 on crown down.  I'm a bit stuck on how to adjust out the positional error. I also noticed a drop in amplitude, 180-200 on crown down. In the other video link I posted at about minute 26 if I remember he adjusts out positional error by manipulating  the regulator pin gap. With crown down the hairspring falls away from the pin and the rate slows so he closes the pins a bit to keep them tighter in crown down position. That means the spring is tighter on dial up as well but then he moved the regulator arm to slow the movement.  There must be some Seiko experts here that have some methods for dialing out positional errors.
