Any tips on getting the setting lever assembly together.

ive had to replace the setting assembly which required the circuit to be taken off and the part ( stem realease button ) fitted onto the return spring. 
with the other levers ( I can call them the proper names but for now levers )on the setting parts is it worth assembling them using rodico to hold them in place flip the plate and then try to engage the return spring?

I just serviced a few of these movements. I honestly would remove all of the keyless works and start again. In my experience, trying to finagle and move spring loaded parts usually takes more time than just starting over. you can use rodico on the on the movement side to hold the setting lever pin in, but it usually isn't necessary.

 

A side note on this movement, one I recently serviced would not pulse or run, but when removing the circuit and coil from the plate, those would generate a pulse. This pin on the underside was grounding out on the plate below, so I had to file a bit away to stop that. Something I hadn't come across before.

Lesson 33. ETA 955.422 Assembly.pdf

You might find this lesson I wrote helpful. Unfortunately, I converted it into a PDF to post so it won't show the video of fitting the keyless work.

Here's a link to my cloud storage where you'll find the PowerPoint presentation https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1_OPys8CnqdprxOvnHL2QTTFR802jjFW1/edit?usp=sharing&ouid=107902587627140904870&rtpof=true&sd=true

It won't be there for long, so download it to refer back to

    • The ones I have opened also do not have a pry point , hence the reason for the tool. The watch is clamped in the tool and a blade is screwed into the seam, the blade being chamfered lifts the back then the screw shaft is turned and the back comes off have a look on Ali express for case back removal tools
    • I don't think I need to know more about the question now, so please don't write anything related to the topic. Thank you to everyone who wrote. Have a nice day.
    • It's an exhibition back so no access as you suggest.
    • I have no experience with this watch, but looking at the pictures from the ebay listing linked above, it looks like the outer metal bezel at the back of the watch may not be part of the case proper.  It looks like the watch and strap are sandwiched together, and an inner case may push out of the rear bezel towards the front of the watch.  A case style similar to the Roamer watches where the crystal, movement and caseback pushed out through the back of an outer bezel, only in reverse - this one may push out towards the front.  To test this, you would need to hold the watch, dial down, supporting the dial side of the watch around the edge of the bezel without touching the bezel itself. Then push down carefully on the inner metal ring you can see at the back of the watch. I’m speculating here, proceed at your own risk. Hopefully someone with hands on experience of these watches can chime in! Best Regards, Mark
    • Thanks, Mark. That's the kind of reassurance many of us wanted to hear! Yes, life is unfortunately unpredictable, and it would be a shame if the many dedicated WRT: ers became stranded if, god forbid, something happened to you and WRT stopped working.
