Hi TRF,

I'm currently servicing a 116509 and would like to take you along with some pictures

This is just a regular service, no out of the ordinary parts needed replacing. The seconds gear and chronograph wheel were still of the 'old style' and need to be replaced for the updated version.
The driving wheel for ratchet is worn to shreds... This transfers the energy from the automatic module into the mainspring (casually explained).

Love these threads

ratty · 5 October 2019, 04:23 PM

I enjoy these threads.

Just had the exact same model serviced in the UK.

ratty · 5 October 2019, 04:26 PM

By the way, is there any chance that you can point out the pin / shaft which the pushers are connected to please? One of these has snapped twice in my watches resulting in a pusher coming off. I’m guessing that they are the short pins in the photo of the pushers in the bezel?

Thanks

kieselguhr · 5 October 2019, 04:26 PM

Thanks for sharing Bas! Great pictures!
Would you happen to know the history behind the watch such as last service history, was it a daily wear or part of a collection, etc.

Rolex Essex · 5 October 2019, 04:36 PM

Bas
Is the case going to be polished?
If so I’m want to see how you do the bezel without removing the tachymeter off.

That would be the pusher screw, it happens... Unlucky that it happened twice to you!!

No idea about the history. I could see some screws that were slightly damaged, so it's been serviced before.

Yes it'll be polished, but the bezel only lightly on the lapping machine.

'Playless' gears, Rolex top notch engineering at its finest.

(Please ignore the small dust spec in the second picture, it didn't make it into the movement, I promise

)

tadbart · 5 October 2019, 09:47 PM

Which part holds the magic smoke? It's them little purple dots, isn't it?

Glad the dust was removed in reassembly - and this filament?

2 quick questions about the “playless” gears...

Are the shapes in both gears composed of thin strips of spring steel that mesh perfectly?

This segment in one of those gears seems to have a larger gap. Why is that?

I love these. Seeing the movement, looking at the parts, and having Bas explain it all with awesome pictures is a joy. A much better thread than "can I take the case back sticker off?" or "I scratched the clasp, should I send it in?"

beshannon · 5 October 2019, 10:35 PM
