Can't figure out how to remove this part thank you.

kanikune · 12 January 2014, 06:19 AM

Those three lines mean the screw opens clock-wise and is closed counter-clock-wise.
Hopefully you didn't apply much counter-clock-wise force yet.

mikie1 · 12 January 2014, 06:33 AM

Where does the screw driver go, no slot?? Thanks
I'm guessing that it comes out first then the other gear to the left

There is a special tool the fits into the two notches.

If you are good with a file you could make one from a blade screwdriver.

Only to me since 1985..

Hawk99 · 17 January 2014, 05:48 AM

Looking forward to seeing this progress.
Is your plan to just service the movement and get it running agian, or the whole Shabang!? Case refinishing, crystal, etc.....?

mikie1 · 17 January 2014, 06:08 AM

Plan on doing it all. Crown threads ng...will replace tube,stem and crown with authentic. Started to refinish the case. Movement disassembled. Bracelet needs restore finish. Dial perfect . Hands were pitted put in ultrasonic and it removed the tritium.. Ordered authentic hands but Luminova. New authentic acrylic crystal, bezel (Pepsi) Hope I can reassemble.

I had a question about the 1675 movement and maybe this would be the right thread to ask it.

In the image above there are two red wheels. Are they red for a reason and are they metal? Crazy question I know, but they almost appear plastic.

MitchSteel · 27 January 2014, 11:12 AM

Those are the reverser wheels in the auto wind module,they're coated in Teflon to reduce friction.

flyinghell34 · 27 January 2014, 11:40 AM

Thank you sir. Interesting and mystery solved.

The click should move freely and the Spring for click # 5035 should push the click against the ratchet wheel.
