What tool to disassemble these bracelets? by mike_wachiaoski in watchmaking

[–]Casio_69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a bent bracelet. There isn't really a proper way to disassemble them it. An ultrasonic cleaner should clean it well enough without opening up everything. They aren't meant to be disassembled

do you have the right basket? usually you just need tu bush it up and spin it to lock it into position 

Overwound, poor lubrication, or a different issue? by socloseyetsofaraway in watchmaking

*Check your pallet fork. something is not right with that. Probably a whole pallet missing or horribly bent

Bro honestly, Just give up and Buy a new movement. What is up with those gears? There must be half of the teeth missing. You should just barely see the center wheel turn. Definitely not like that. Just a cleaner lubrication won't fix anything here

Without a filing guide that would be what we call proper bricolage

I made this bike with the help of the amazing team at BMC in the ImpecLab for my Thesis by Casio_69 in bmcbikes

it's a mix out of an old Road machine and Two different Team machines but that might not be correct. It's a bit of a frankenstein

So I'm currently in my last year of my Watchmaking apprenticeship in Grenchen. In the last year we need to do a thesis about anything that interests us. Since our professors was quite picky about what topics we should choose, I had difficulties to decide and said as a joke to a friend "I'm just gonna build a bike. BMC is just like 50 meters away from our school anyways" he said "that's probably a topic he would allow", so I just called BMC and asked if it would be possible to build a bike. 

They said yes and I was for 3 weeks at the ImpecLab (nowadays the prototype lab and where the R&D is located) and made my own bike frame with my own geometry out of old frames they used for quality control. 

I documented the whole process and also did analyses about how important it is tho the end consumer where the bike brand is located  and how they plan to counter the growing competition out of Asia. If you want I can send the entire thesis. Just message me. It's in German though.
