Hi guys!
Yesterday I finished my 126610 build with my gen 3235 is gen 98% so my 3235 using vsf intermediate wheel on the side and underneath date plate that connects to hour wheel central and to date jumper wheel/spring, then I got seconds wheel and minutes and hour gears from vsf rest is all gen on movement, it’s something I want replace but in near future I just wanted to get my watch to work and start using it, now 78% is new parts some are remaining of my gen 3235 post car crash, now all work balance do work all moves if I pull crown to time set position and then if I turn crown as soon I hit 00:00 time flips then if pull crown to just date change date do flip and changes, now all works the only very strange thing I have noticed if I fully tide the screws on bridge of gears balance won’t oscillate as if fully screwed bridge is to tide to let gears like minute hour and seconds spin(see pic ) but losing slight screw will allow balance oscillate and second hand moves and all moves, but then yesterday once I put all together closed case seconds hand moves but hour and minute just seats at same set time, now I did check my cannon pinion and it looks good it is nicely clamped, now what are your thoughts guys on this ? Can be this because also screws are some of them VSF ? Aren’t vsf screws supposedly were done to spec of gen ones ?
Screw /bridge in question:
Side note all bridges and plates are gen.
Can this bridge be the issue being very tide ? Or seating to flat and not allowing gear to spin ? But then again when touching that gear it spins very well and freely!
See below before fully assembled movement gears spinning.
Some of time reading on movement,
So I cannot think of what can be this ?
I want to have this ready so much so I can go travelling to pick up my daughter and my wife to bring them back home as they are a board on holiday will be going in end November, still have some time to sort this out
