Watch will not work; WHY?

What amazes me is the ability to take these watches apart wihout any past experience with the make or model. I guess it's more of an art form and many, many years of experience.

I guess if you seen enough watches, you can figure out a way of disassembling and assembling any watch. I do often take pictures of the movement before I disassemble so so I can see the subtleties of where the parts are placed.

Good evening JD, been about a month since watching your channel. We were visiting my brother in New Jersey for 2 weeks then cruizing from NY to Spain Portugal Italy and then home to Perth. Anyway he visited us last week and we ran him about. Today,we are in downtown Calgary, starting our trip, tomorrow we're doing the Rockies and then cruizing the inside passage afterthat.We will be in your lovely part of the world for 3 weeks, then home to Perth. So JD tell me some good places where i may pick up some watch bargains. Wow, that hairspring certainly had a job done on it, im sure you'll be able to sort that out, looking forward to the next part. Always enjoy your work/channel. Take care JD. Mike

Thanks for this, JD. You’re justified in avoiding women’s watches. I just reassembled a Gruen men’s watch movement that’s smaller than some women’s movements and the screws are minuscule. Fiddly as heck.

A real pain for sure

That probably wasn’t done on purpose. The regulator fingers are twisted. Somebody moved the regulator to regulate the watch but the twisted fingers didn’t allow the hairspring to slide through them freely. The end result is that the hairspring got crunched between the regulator and the stud. Depending on the situation, it’s possible the damage wasn’t visible in the assembled movement. I actually had this very thing happen to me once; I now make sure the hairspring moves freely through the regulator fingers before using the regulator.

You’re absolutely correct. That’s probably what happened. They should’ve realized right away that it wasn’t resolving their timing problems and stop pushing

Crunch! I can totally see that happening... ugly results indeed! Good idea to check the regulator for movement.

@WatchWithMike hey Mike, you’re right

You could put the curve back in but it won't be perfect. Like you said, better off getting a new hairspring assembly. That regulator pin part is rotatable. The gap between the pins is larger than necessary so you rotate that part with a special tool to close the gap.

Do you have supplier available that could carry this particular hairspring for this Tudor movement

@@JDRichard No I am afraid not. Like you I don't do much work on wristwatches. Was that movement made by Tudor or by someone else like ETA.
