When we are faced with a poor steering wheel amplitude or a steering wheel that stops when the moving part turns at an angle, we can be in front of a de-pivoted steering wheel axis or what is the same, a de-pivoted watch. The causes can be diverse, wear by oxidation, an excessive blow or a bad manipulation of movement.
This is perhaps the most common fault in mechanical vintage watches and more so if they do not have anti-shock on the flywheel bridge.
In today's video tutorial we will learn how to diagnose this fault and how to repair it step by step in the simplest way possible. As long as we can find the shaft assembly for sale, a more spiral flywheel already assembled at a reasonable price is usually the best option than your other alternative, which is to replace the shaft. This last operation requires specialized tools.
