Hi watch lovers <3

i got a Robisi automatic watch. It accidentally fell down on the floor and its glass got detached which i attached again but after some time i realised that the Synthetic ruby gem was missing from it. Therefore it lost its balance and it stops time to time. 

How do i fix this?

The jewel indeed probably fell but there is also a small spring that holds it in place. Is the spring still there ?

The jewel is easy to find as they are all round but the spring might be hard if it has a weird shape and you have get the exact design and dimension.

Normally I wouldn't even bother with such a watch but just trying to help. :)

@Chopin thank you for replying :)

i think spring you are talking about is right there.

It just get unbalanced and stops at certain angles.(watch video), so i think its just the jewel. where can i find it and how to put it in the watch. 

This watch is a gift so i am loving it more that my expensive watches

I understand then.

The jewel is there to hold in place the shaft (staff) of the spring that spins around inside the movement.

Are you not able to find a watchmaker in your local area ? It should be cheap and any watchmaker (that actually repairs watches) should have such parts.

This is kind of what the system looks like. It's not identical to yours but you get the idea.

Another example.

Are you from Pakistan ? Watch this video below for the best explanation.

@Chopin Thank you very much.

Yes i am from Pakistan. Actually here most of the watch makers are just so called watchmakers. they can just repair digitals watch by just replacing the machinery. And if I find someone who can actually expert in repairing watches specially automatic watches, they are way too expensive. may be it will cost about the price of the watch :(

that is why i was thinking if can do it my self if there is some kind of tutorial available for this.

What you see in your watch which run and/or stops depeinding on the angle is the balance spring.

@Chopin wrote about the shock-protection spring that hold the jewel in place and your watch hs lost both (jewel + spring).

The problem will be to find the right jewel and the right spring.

The best would be to know which movement is in that watch so you should open the caseback, take high definition pics of the movement and post them here to see if somebody can tell which movement it is, or at least see the jewel and shock-spring on the down side of the balance wheel.

    • 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....  
    • Hi there, welcome here.  
    • 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 ???
