Hi there. My current project is the overhaul of what I believe to be an A. Schild 1250 bumper movement. It looks very similar at any rate. While in the disassembly process, I took off the rotor (fig 1), and then the automatic winding bridge. This revealed some wheels and what appeared to be a piece of hair. I tugged the "hair" and parts went flying. Turns out it was a spring attached to a pawl for the winding wheel. I put the bits back where I thought they should go and took a picture (fig 2).

I finished breaking everything down, cleaned the parts and am ready for reassembly. Though it will be one of the final stages, I am really stressing out because I have absolutely no idea how the pawl and spring should fit. I guess I'll have to wait and see if I can figure it out, but in the meantime, if anyone has experience with this movement, any help would be appreciated.

It appears to be an AS1171; rather different from the AS1250.

Those appear to have been quite widely used rebranded, I found such as Rima and Rensie / A Raymond branded ones while trying to trace it.

 

If the click and spring are the same as the base movement, this shows the assembly:

Quite right you are about the caliber number, thank you. At least I was in the ballpark 🙂

It is branded and cased as an Easton "Quadramatic" militrayesque watch. It's quite pretty.

Anyway, I'll have to review the video when I get off work. Thank you for the assistance!

Well, thanks to all the help. 🥳

I got it together without drama, although it is running like a two legged cat in a mousetrap factory. Tick-tick-tick---tick-tick-tick-tick-tick---tick-tick and so on. Rate=+570, AMP=317, BE not picking up.

Sure is a pretty little thing though!

Thank you all again.

 I concur with AndyGSI,

  Frequency is 18000 , your tg shows 19800.

I bet you haven't replaced the mainspring.

AND always dispower the movement through the click, before starting disassembly, to prevent parts from  flying, damage to the pallets face and escape teeth ,...etc.

Good luck.

@Nucejoe, nope, didn't replace the mainspring. I always release the power, and generally the first thing put into safekeeping - after the dial and hands - is the balance assembly. Thanks for the reminder though 🙂

I'll have to check the Timegrapher settings.

Oh, there is no luck involved: I either do it right or I screw it up. S-l-o-w-l-y getting to the 60-40 mark.

Thanks again!

Ah-ha! Eureka!! 🥳

I couldn't let it go. I took the balance assembly off and really looked carefully at the hairspring. Lo and behold, there was a very, very, fine thread tangled in the coils. 😱 It was buggering up everything.

Got it out, cleaned and oiled the upper and lower jewels, got it back together, and just like that, the snow storm on the TG stopped! I had a good trace, albeit a fast one, but it's settling in for a day or two, and then I'll regulate it. 

Overall, I'm happy. 👍😎❤️🎉

      HWGIKE#57 Valex FEF 190 15 jewels Swiss lever full service and repair This one was waiting for a balance staff replacement in my cabinet parts and case cleaned up with a new balance staff and a 4th wheel as the original 4th wheel had a broken pivot for the off center second hand. I never attempted a balance staff replacement before however I received a Bergeon Molfres (i was hunting it for about 2 years) and with the help of it I managed to remove the old staff and riveted the new one in. It also received a new MS, crystal and the hole for the MS arbor was also tightened. With the new MS now it has an acceptable performance meaning that the amplitude goes up to 280 fully wound, has an acceptable beat error and I have the two nice lines but only dial up, dial down is not as nice and I could not figure out as why. I have the two lines but the amplitude is dropping to around 230 and the lines are a bit hairy. Both dial up and dial down the lines just go up and down without seemingly any pattern. I cleaned the movement two times, and then a 3rd time pegged out the main plate and train bridge holes but made no change. Both the HS collet and the roller table was too lose on the new staff... I did not count how many times I took the balance cock off to sort out the HS collet, the roller table and the beat error, somebody before me also shortened the HS by pushing it out a bit and it seems every time somebody is messing with the end of the HS the protruding bit is most of the time twisted bent etc. This one was probably one of the most challenging repair and service. I might take the new MS out and clean it lubricate it as I just pushed the new one in to the barrel from the retaining ring. Plus started to re-read the theory of the escapement and how to analyse the graph on the timing machine: Greiner Chronografic Record manual. I am also thinking to put the watch on a 24 hour long run with the eTimer SW it once helped me to figure out what was wrong with a watch. There is an interesting part of the Greiner record manual talking about the pallets and the end shake of the balance and pallet staff. Maybe this is my issue? Who could that possibly identify? After a few years now I am still without a clue how could watchmakers make parts I can only see with my microscope or how could/can they carry out complicated services impossible to do.. real magic..... .... ..... before I sent this post while the pics were uploading I had an idea, i was browsing the possible outcomes on the timing machine I had one for magnetism..... so I demagnetized the movement and it is not hairy now.... two really nice lines 0.2 ms beat error still a bit wavy, but a lot lot better..... argh....

      yes the advertising revenue should generate money. The question is how much money? Then as far as the cost of the website goes that's relatively easy to determine? all you would have to do to grasp costs and profitability would be to go to the link below and you can actually get a website for free try it out for free I believe you get no advertising initially. They also talk about that they'll help you out they have marketing tools and some sort of paid subscription or something. So I guess were shopping for a whatever just ask them what would a maybe could use this one as an example in other words it's going to look basically identical to this is going to have advertising a paid subscriptions what's it going to cost? After all they want to sell or give us a message board like this they should bill answer the questions as they're the people who did the software for this. Yes they really said you can have a free discussion group at least to start. https://invisioncommunity.com/ I was curious about the monthly supporter thing where exactly do we find that on this message board? A quick search I'm not finding it so obviously I'm not looking in the right place?

      Help me out here, but with all the advertising on this site (which I don't mind) wouldn't it pay for itself or even make money for the owner ???
