In our Basic Watch Repair Series, Lesson 6 covers the functions of the power train or train of wheels. One of the most frustrating obstacles that someone new to Watch Repair assembly is fitting the train bridge onto the movement, aligning the pivots and into the pivot holes and then tightening down the rain bridge without crushing or bending the pivots.
This is the last system to cover in this manual wound watch movement and sets you up to now be able to start disassembling the watch and performing the needed inspections.

@@watchrepairtutorials I really appreciate that. I have been interested in watches for a very long time, but only recently began the journey of doing it myself... Going to flea markets and buying pieces, taking them apart, and just figuring it out. Your videos are the reason I have been able to avoid any major fuck-ups that grenade anything I can handle. I'm a disabled vet and this is something that I can do freely and it calms me down (until I shoot something into oblivion and I can't find it). I have actually gotten another veteran friend of mine into this as well and it's just been awesome every step of the way. But yeah, I really love what you are doing brother and any/all advice is very welcomed and appreciated.

@@VWJOEYNEL first let me thank you for the sacrifices you and your family made while you protected our freedoms. I really mean that. Flea market finds are great, but they’re really hard to learn on because you’re always fighting many problems, which is tough to do if you don’t yet have the experience to be able to recognize what’s going on. My best advice to you would be to pick up an ST 36 move it like the ones that I use in the beginning videos and use that to practice on. In order to be able to fix something you have to understand the way it’s supposed to be. This is the exact same way that watchmaking schools start new students except they use the ETA 6497. The goal is to be able to completely disassemble it, wash all the parts, put it back together, lubricated it and have it before at least as good as it did before you started. Once you can do that, then you’re ready to move on to phase 2.

Great stuff as always :) One thing I always mention with any part that is held in with multiple screws, whether it's a watch bridge or the back of a G-shock or the intake manifold of a smallblock chevy: START all the screws before you tighten ANY of them. It's very easy to put something on cocked or weird if you tighten the first screw before the others are in place. It also makes sure you always line up screw holes, etc. I can see that you do that but thought it was worth a mention :)

Hi Willy, A lot of people just want to jump into “Watch Repair” and just try to figure it out while they go. Depending on the movement they might have some success but most people end up with a drawer full of watches they can’t fix. By learning the basics and knowing how a movement should look when it’s functioning properly, this allows you to see things that are wrong. When it comes to correcting problems with amplitude, which is the number one issue new watchmaker have, if your basics skills are not there, you are always chasing your tail trying to figure out what’s wrong. Congratulations on the new scope. You are already way ahead.

Thanks. Next we are going to take a look at the disassembly and inspection process. This is to primarily learn what end and side shake SHOULD look like so that you can recognize when it is incorrect. Ideally when you are servicing a vintage watch, you want to fix issues before the cleaning process. That way when you do your assembly and lubrication, you don’t have to start taking pieces on and off ruining the lubrication you just did. Should be interesting 🤨

Hey Alex, thanks a lot for this series of videos they’ve really helped me! Could you confirm exactly which order we should be disassembling and reassembling please?
@watchrepairtutorials
@watchrepairtutorials Год назад
It doesn't really matter in the disassembly. When putting watches together I typically start with the keyless works Because the crown and ratchet wheel are part of it. Then you can install the powertrain starting with the mainspring barrel and its components, the bridge and then finally the train wheels. Then you can install the pallet fork and balance wheel. Once this is assembled, go to a full wind and see what it looks like on your timegrapher. If everything looks good, meaning no crazy trace lines, obvious problems in the escapement and decent amplitude then you can go ahead and install the motion works in any calendar systems. If after installing the balance wheel, if the movement is demonstrating anything out of the ordinary that doesn't look good, there's no need to assemble anything else yet. Let the watch run for 24 hours to see if things settle out before starting to do any troubleshooting.

@watchrepairtutorials

The pallet fork is locked on the escape wheel which prevents all the power from leaving the mainspring barrel. this is why the power is let down before removing the pallet fork.

Fantastic video. I always learn something. One problem I have with nearly every movement I try to work on has got me to the point of just giving up this hobby, and that is putting the train bridge back on. When I put the train bridge back on, the pivots are in place, it fits down snugly, everything looks good, and then the damn wheels won't turn. They just lock. Even though everything looks to be in place. We are always told to make sure as we put pieces back that the wheels turn easily and freely. Mine almost always do not turn. No, I am not forcing anything. The brass bends too easy as it is. Is something slightly bent and I can't see it?. If everything is in place and the pivots are in their respective jewels, then why would they lock up and not turn?. It's very frustrating. I am beginning to see why there are not many watch and clock repairmen around. Working on cars is like breathing compared to this.

" *When I put the train bridge back on, the pivots are in place, it fits down snugly, everything looks good, and then the damn wheels won't turn"* When you put the bridge on, the wheels will spin freely only if the wheels are in the correct position AND all the pivots are in the correct place. Often times, all the pivots with the exception of one will be the jewel holes. Don't put in any screws until the wheels spin freely. *"The brass bends too easy as it is"* Pivots are steel *"If everything is in place and the pivots are in their respective jewels, then why would they lock up and not turn?"* There is no question that installing a bridge with multiple wheels is one of those things that people can struggle with early on. Try installing the barrel and just one wheel. See how it spins. Then add the 3rd wheel and see how it spins, then add the 4rth wheel and check it again. Finally add the escape wheel. This method of adding in one wheel at a time is how you troubleshoot problems with the power train. Practice practice practice.

Thank you for the awesome tutorial. Is there any added benefit to the barrel bridge including the center wheel pivot (like with the watch in your video)? I only ask because I've noticed some watch makers prefer to build their watches with the center wheel pivot as part of a train bridge separate from the barrel bridge.

Not that I can think of. I think it’s more of a design issue.

Ok thank you for your answer. Truly appreciated. I still have to wonder though why some watches are made with more expensive individual bridging if it doesn't have any effect on anything.@@watchrepairtutorials

@@danielrichter2452 for the same reason certain manufacturers spend time black polishing a part or decoration on the bridges. It doesn’t make the watch run better and in most cases can’t be seen by anyone.

Why do you loosen every single screw slightly before the final tightening? I noticed you do it with every screw like that, so there must be a good reason?
@watchrepairtutorials
@watchrepairtutorials 3 дня назад
When I put the screws in initially, I'm just securing the bridge in position, then I checked the wheels again to make sure everything is free spinning. The reason I back off or reverse the screws is, I want to feel the resistance of the screw to the part then I turn the screw the width of the screw slot for the final tightening. That's how you know the screw is tight enough.

Try this. Install the bridge with just the center wheel, then with the center wheel and 3rd wheel, then add 4th wheel and then finally the escape wheel. Make sure when you are bring the plate over the pivots that the wheels are all standing straight. When you are aligning the wheels make sure that the 3rd wheel in, the check the 4th then the escape wheel. Use a probe to move the pivots and with good magnification look through the pivots to see where the pivot is. Hope this helps

What can create a problem where the seconds hand is acting sparatic. During a 60sec circle it sometimes stops and then caches up and works normal, untill it does it again, few times every circle. It is omega cal 1002. I watched the gears under a microscope. the seconds hand gear s theeth have the same problem as the hand. It was happening even before i servised it.The difference is , the watch is working perfect now. I did not oil the seconds hand post. And i did not remove the canon pinion, as it seats on a center will. The watch is working perfect atherwise. I do not know how to fix it. May be to change gears. ??????????

It sounds like there is damage to the teeth of the 4rth wheel or the pinion of the 3rd wheel. Inspect them under magnification

Don’t tighten your bridge down until testing that the wheels are spinning.
