Rolex upper Bridge cal.1570

[Oyster]

Hi again forum amd watch lover.

I have some problem with the upper bridge, the jewel seem lose and the bridge doesn't grip the jewel, (pic form internet) cause the rotor to have a nosey sound when shaken,by the way the oscillating staff still fit in the jewel. Any thing I can do about this ?

Hi,

   I'm guessing that if the jewel is really loose in the bridge that the wrong jewel may have been inserted in an earlier repair. There are two jewels used to stabilize the rotor, an upper and a lower. I replaced one recently and they aren't too pricey. If the upper jewel isn't falling out of the bridge it may be that it is just worn on the inner diameter. In any event a replacement is called for. Now if you get the replacement jewel in and it is loose in the bridge then the bridge itself may have been damaged.

The jewel should be pressed in to the plate and shouldn't move, the pivot of the wheel should be of a very good fit.
