Upcoming updates
Over the next couple of weeks we will be performing software updates on the forum. These will be completed in small steps as we upgrade individual software addons. You might occasionally see a maintenance message that will last a few minutes at most.
If we anticipate an update will take more than a few minutes, we'll put up a notice with estimated time.
Thank you!
Looking for a Waltham fourth wheel
- Thread starter SndChsr
- Start date
I have a drawer full of wheels for 18 Walthams. There are several kinds depending on whether it is HC or OF, I think and slow or fast train. Post a picture and pinion leaf count. I'll drop one in the mail...PM me. What is the serial number ?
Same, I have quite a few Bartlett parts movements, mostly 83s. You are welcome to one if needed.

Thank you Gentlemen!! It would be MOST appreciated if either one of you had that wheel. This watch is in excellent condition. The only thing holding me back from moving forward with the service is the missing seconds pivot on that fourth wheel.
My apologies for not replying earlier, I was away all day yesterday.
I'm attaching photos of the damaged wheel as well as the partial movement as it's in the state of disassembly at the moment.

Many many thanks,

Ahhh..no problem. Thanks for checking anyway. Much appreciated from this end.

Just be aware Marek that there are plenty of variations in the pivot sizes across the range of Model 92 movements, it will probably pay to measure the jewel-hole sizes on both the dial-plate and back train-plate to ensure you get the correct size
Yea, you're absolutely correct. I'll measure the broken pivot as I still have it.Just be aware Marek that there are plenty of variations in the pivot sizes across the range of Model 92 movements, it will probably pay to measure the jewel-hole sizes on both the dial-plate and back train-plate to ensure you get the correct size
Thanks for the reminder Bila!
Nice looking watch SndChsr . Worth restoring for sure. I have one 92, I think. Not 100% sure as the bridge with the serial number is missing, but maybe someone more knowledgable can confirm. It does have a good 4th, so once we can confirm this is a 92, I can measure it up for you.

Hi Grant,
Definitely looks like a '92 to me, though even 92's had some variations as they progressed through time. It looks very much like mine though. Would you be willing to sell the 4th?
I'd be more than happy to buy it if you don't need it.
Many thanks,
Marek

Hey Marek,
No need to buy it. You are welcome to it. You can PM me your address. Did you want to measure the pivots first? I can do that tonight on my end.

Well, I went to pull the 4th gear, and it has a bent pivot. I am not sure if this can be straightened. The pivots are ~.27MM
