  • Hi, I've sacrificed a watch to learn a bit, reading "practical watch repairing".
    A painful read, describing the removal of 5 consecutive bits in a short sentence as if it was obvious, then dedicating a mad long entire paragraph about how you should keep your bench tidy... Feels like the dude wanted to teach about common sense more than how to repair watches.
    Anyway, I haven't broken anything so far (I think), although some bud I already see I'll struggle to put back right.
    Now it's the bit when I'm to remove the centre, third and fourth wheels... Except the centre wheel seems held by something and I can't figure what. Any idea?

  • If I understand you correctly, it is being held in place by the cannon pinion which has a friction fit over the center wheel shaft. You remove it from the dial side.

    You probably want to get a second opinion before believing me.
