Please be indulgent, I am not a professional watchmaker This 265 was very dirty !

After

 

Dang, that's nice!

 

Nicely cleaned !

 

Assuming those are in order, one suggestion to make your life a bit easier would be to remove the cannon pinion from the dial side, before removing the barrel bridge. Leaving the bridge in place while you remove the cannon pinion will provide support for the center wheel, and prevent possible damage...also just makes it easier. I typically let the power down on the mainspring, the flip the watch over and disassemble the winding/setting parts first.

From what I can see, it's an improvement certainly. Keep at it!

Cheers, Al

 

congratulations. What do you mean your not a professional? doing what you did takes lots of patience and knowledge, keep up the good work.

 

Fantastic job and for a novice, very educational.
Thanks

 

Bon travail. Félicitations! Combien de mouvements avez-vous nettoyés de la sorte?

 

Nice work! Would love to be able to do that sort of work

 

From what I've seen, you'll be doing this within a year. You have the technology!

I for one would like to see more hobbyist DIY on this forum. Seems like lately it's all been "check out this DON bezel on eBay for $7,000."

 

Well done, I like your cleaning machine! What do you use for your wash?

It looks like asses milk .

 

Cal 711 ready for timing. Lubrication is hard.

 

If you are a hobbyist, check this post out for reference on putting your watch back if it is on the list. It has been a real help for day date movements for me when I run into trouble. Those little springs.

I'm interested! Please elaborate...

 

Nice job and nice dial!
Do you have any timegrapher results?

By the way, in one of your pic your hairspring seems out of shape or no correctly placed into the pins. I think it is because of the angle of that pic or maybe just at some step of your work though.

 

I think it looks that way because the movement is running.

 

On the movement or on the lubrication being hard? I think I'll post full info next week when it's all back in the case.

 

NIce job. You even have the fancy cleaning machine. I have a good ultrasonic, but can't use it on these because it will remove the plating. You may want to get a movement holder like the one "Micampe" has pictured. The kind with the pegs are cumbersome and get in the way, not to mention the pegs are mobile.

 

Very inspirational.
