TIM LEVER 7 Jewels Shock Protected Stopwatch.Part 2


Session two today in my workshop with the TIM LEVER 7 Jewels Shock Protected Stopwatch.


Today I have removed the Seconds Hand from the Long Tube Heart. I needed to remove the second hand because I am hoping the NOS Breitling 45mm Dial I have purchased fits this watch.

Removed the tight fit Seconds Hand by slipping the Heart into the “vee” on the block to give maximum support to dial, and using flat head No:290 Bergeon Stake and Dial protector and two light taps with a hammer, hey presto off and no damage!


Stripped the Barrel down, and the mainspring and barrel really clean for a 1970s watch. 

Also found a crown that I may use for The Fly-Back pusher, but may make one when I have the lathe set up to make the broken pusher.
So all set to clean all the parts.
