A recent Garrard purchase reveals the date starts to change at midnight and then flicks back so does not actually change. Would this be wear on the date driving wheel part of which seems to be plastic or nylon. Also is the jumper the wrong way round. (Wrong side against the spring) Any help would be appreciated Thanks...

Hi most likely wear on the wheel.  The jumper looks ok, was it like that when you removed the dial.    What’s the movement make and calibre. Usually found under the balance or on the plates,   Maybe able to get a service sheet.

It is an FHF 909 movement. The jumper is exactly as I took of the dial but found a pic from 'The Movement Archive' which shows the jumper the other way round

On this picture the jumper is upside down (I mean the last picture). On the first picture the finger on the day wheel that switches the date seems short, and on the last picture it is normal.

 I have a bunch of fhf 9** series, note that fhf 905 got date disc too.

Should be careful not to lose quick date gear thats on the stem, so little easy to lose hard to find replacement for.

      A lathe with indexing that won't break the bank?

      By coreymsnow · Posted

      Hi folks, I'm doing some homework on getting a watchmaker's lathe, and it's clear I have a lot to learn. But I know one goal: I want to be able to fabricate wheels, which would require an indexing capability. I know how to use large lathes- like, giant metal lathes- but my experience is a few decades old now (but you never forget the smell of the metal cutting oil). So I'm looking to learn anew, and have a goal to get to a point where I can fabricate some basic watch parts. I also have no specific timeframe and want to do this right, so I'll be patient and learn what I need to before spending the money. I know I'm not going to get anything for a pittance, but I'm also not really able to put together the scratch for a $5-$10k lathe. What's out there for a hobbyist that can either handle some fabrication out of the box or can be relatively easily made to do so? Thanks!

      Hello and welcome to the WRT forum.   This usually points to broken balance pivot.  Though a watch in need of clean & lube can do the same. Easiest diag would be to  see if balance pivot doesn't stay in hole jewel of the setting, when you lift one side of balance rim with an oiler or gently with pair of tweezers. Another would be to detach balance complete from the cock and take a look at pivot under high maginfication.  Regs

      Help with Hermle ships clock

      Ahhh, yes.  I hadn’t thought of that.  I’ve serviced quite a few of these and the first time I didn’t realise it was a ships strike pattern!  Ha ha, confused me totally until I realised.

      Help with Hermle ships clock

      By Rixy · Posted

      Hi Mike, I did, thanks. Found this clip that was really helpful:   It says Seth Thomas but it's actually the same Hermle I've been working on. I'd had it working correctly all along but hadn't noticed that the lever with the sprung end stops the hammer a bit short of the bell on the second ding at the end of the half-past sequence. If only I'd put the bell on when testing, rather than just looking at the hammer, my ears would have told me it was working,  even if my eyes didn't!
