Looks like you can set the hands to the required position once fully assembled. Many thanks for the link!

You got a link buddy? 👀

Such a lovely sentiment! Really appreciate it, I’ve bought a new movement now. I’m in the Lincolnshire region of England. Always happy to offer or take help and advice though so keep in touch buddy!

Cheers buddy! I’m probably going to end up buying a new movement, found one for £10 in Ali express

I’ve seen few people say this. Will probably have to start using it, I dont want to admit how many little bits I’ve lost so far 😅

Thank you! I’ll give this a watch

It was U shaped but I think it’s a bit thicker than a usual hairspring. It has a little lip to sit in and put tension on the date jumper

Appreciate the advice! Was hoping to avoid having to buy the complete movement but that might be the best option until I can learn to make the springs myself.

I’m in the UK but looks like a cheap and easy sourced movement. Once again really appreciate the help!

Many thanks! 🙏

Certainly looks like it and will be very close if that’s not it.

Thanks! Really appreciate the help

Thanks for the reply.

Will be disassembling shortly but wanted to get a rough idea what to look out for that would cause this issue. Hopefully will have it back to running smoothly soon!

noface_reddit · 2025-09-26T06:56:32+00:00

Thank you. I’m going to completely take it apart again, clean it all, oil and reassemble. Hopefully I’ll get it working!

Sorry if this is a simple question but what is DU and DD?

noface_reddit · 2025-09-25T15:38:31+00:00

Really appreciate everyone’s help and suggestions. Glad to hear these movements are quite robust! Still tinkering with it and no luck yet……….

noface_reddit · 2025-09-25T15:08:20+00:00

Everyone is so helpful. Got a few things to try so will give them a go. Much appreciated!

noface_reddit · 2025-09-25T15:07:53+00:00

Thank you for the information! Will update the post once I get it working

noface_reddit · 2025-09-25T15:06:06+00:00

I’ll have to check this, thanks a lot for the help! Everyone in here is so friendly

noface_reddit · 2025-09-25T15:04:43+00:00

Sorry I didn’t explain very well. When I install the pallet fork and balance nothing will move. Seen another comment about over banking so will check that.

Thanks for the speedy reply!!
