Very cool!

Looking forward to the polishing photos! Thanks for taking us along and sharing.

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?

That filament is what I was pointing out, it didn't make it into the movement

The larger 'gap' is for lining up the chronograph seconds gear and the clutch wheel.

The thin strips are indeed spring steel, to eliminate gear play.

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?"

Very cool thank you!

Meshing of the playless teeth is my favorite part of these photos! Where in the drivetrain is this feature employed?

The gap is the same to my eyes after some scrutiny. But I'm curious like you why the difference at that point. Is that a point where the playless gears interface with another part?

Another great one from Bas.

I love the (slightly) beat up look of the daytona.

Did you polish it or remained as is?

Watch Rob · 6 October 2019, 12:12 AM

So cool!

Great stuff. Thanks

Calatrava r · 6 October 2019, 12:34 AM

Is that normal that the driving wheel for the ratchet is worn to shreds? What causes that, was the watch repeatedly manually wound?

RichM · 6 October 2019, 12:45 AM

Great photographs.

Thanks so much for taking us along.

Can’t wait to see the finished product.

Meyrin · 6 October 2019, 12:52 AM

Beautiful photos here, very interesting! I love seeing all the parts of a dismantled watch movement, even though I don't understand anything!

It is pretty common actually, just from regular wear & tear.

BobDyl · 6 October 2019, 01:00 AM

Thanks Bas for another great post. 4130 is a killer movement, so compact! It's an underappreciated marvel imo. Hopefully this is not hijacking, but I've attached a pic of a 4130 from my 116520 during a LAWW service.

SLS · 6 October 2019, 01:00 AM

Very cool, I always enjoy these posts from you. Thanks

SearChart · 6 October 2019, 01:09 AM

Cheers guys

I'll post some before & after pics of polishing next week.

2001jesper · 6 October 2019, 01:28 AM

Thanks for sharing Bas

Excited to see the before and after

brigadoonb · 6 October 2019, 01:40 AM

Love threads like this. Wish we had more of these and I also wish I could learn how to do this myself. Thanks for sharing the process!
