wowsasb 8 Posted May 2, 2017 Hey! I just built my Tudor sub and the A2836 keeps stopping even though I have shaken it and fully hand wound it. Very frustrating and I would love some help Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FL13 511 Posted May 2, 2017 did you thoroughly check for pubes? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wowsasb 8 Posted May 2, 2017 Yes the movement is really clean. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BadPickle 2,747 Posted May 2, 2017 Hands catchin? Mainspring not keepin-da-power? Could be a smorgasbord of reasons pal, gotta be a tad more specific....

wowsasb 8 Posted May 2, 2017 Once it stops it will start up with a wind or a shake. Seems like it could conceivably be the hands catching but honestly I have no idea Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BadPickle 2,747 Posted May 2, 2017 Something catching the hairspring? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BadPickle 2,747 Posted May 2, 2017 Still a ton of reasons really, in your shoes I would send it to a fixer to have a look at Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FL13 511 Posted May 2, 2017 Does it catch exactly at the same spot on the dial, like always at the 24second mark?? (Second hand may be hitting something) or when the minute/hour hand are stacked (They may be touching) or is it completely random (May be a mainspring) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rob Roy 35 Posted May 2, 2017 Check the stem length if its slightly too long it can cause movement to stop! Col Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wowsasb 8 Posted May 2, 2017 Thanks for some of the suggestions. Gives me some places to check Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wowsasb 8 Posted May 2, 2017 So it runs fine without the stem in... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rob Roy 35 Posted May 2, 2017 So it runs fine without the stem in... If it Runs okay with the stem out remove the Crown and take a tiny bit of the Stem off recrown the Stem and try again Col Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wowsasb 8 Posted May 2, 2017 So it runs fine without the stem in...

jdog 1 Posted May 2, 2017 (edited) Check to see if the movement is straight in the case. If your movement/movement ring is cockeyed then you're putting pressure on the movement through the stem. Put the movement back into the case and clamp everything down, don't put the stem in yet. Look through the crown tube and see if the stem hole is dead center. If not, something is up.

wowsasb 8 Posted May 2, 2017 (edited) Well now ive gone and buggered up big time as I accidentally dropped the movement on the desk... very bad..... A small part fell out. And now theres more stem issues. Can anyone ID this part? About 4mm long Edited May 2, 2017 by wowsasb Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wowsasb 8 Posted May 3, 2017 Anyone know what this is? I've looked up 2836 charts but can't seem to figure out what it belongs to Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Danw8 0 Posted May 3, 2017 Looks like a part of the clutch lever broke off? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wowsasb 8 Posted May 3, 2017 If its part of the clutch lever that would probably result in the stem being useless? Because its basically useless right now Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GenTLe 1,501 Posted May 3, 2017 I can't get which material is that (grey or brass?), nor size... It may be (but bent) part of the keyless, or part of the day/date jumper spring, or even the hack lever... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
