Wiz 0 Posted September 6, 2012 +1 on Chris, the screw most likely disengaged from the setting lever. You can fix it without even dismounting the movement, you just need to take the dial out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wiz 0 Posted September 6, 2012 You don't need to remove anything, just turn the movement and look at the keyless work, you'll see that this little part below is not laying flat: And you'll see that the tip of the screw that's shupposed to be in is not in anymore, so basically you need to apply a little rpessure to put it flat, and screw the screw in. That's all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

HeavyKrush 16 Posted September 6, 2012 Wiz and Chris you guys are awesome! I've wondered how the setting lever and screw works now it's crystal clear. Great job mates! Have to bookmark this post. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HeavyKrush 16 Posted September 6, 2012 Quick question... how tightly do you torque down the setting lever screw upon reassembly? Seems like the setting lever pivots on this screw and overtightening would result in the lever not working. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hazz 0 Posted September 6, 2012 No need to torque, just tighten till you feel resistance, worked for me. thanx again Wiz and Chris Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wiz 0 Posted September 6, 2012 I've been told it shouldn't be tight, so I screw untill I feel resistance and then I unscrew a little, maybe half a quarter of a turn. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
