Hello from the Netherlands

i am in fact interested in watches and clocks from childhood on.... Now for a few years I am interested in so called " Wehrmachtswerk" type watches.. No connection with dark history but this type of calibre is I think ruggedized: AS1130 eg.

I own a few of these vintage watches and I want to learn to clean and service them.

Hope to write and read of you all soon!

Welcome Twannie! 

Take pictures before each step to help you in reassembly.  Watch the videos from Mark and understand he makes it look a lot easier than it is.  Don't touch any watch you really care about until you've taken apart a few cheap ones and put them back together and left them in a good running condition.   This forum is a wonderful place to ask any questions and get sincere help from some really friendly members.  It's a really satisfying hobby if you have the patience.  Welcome aboard!:thumbsu:

      L&R Varimatic Needs Adjustment

      By clockboy · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, enjoy. I have a varimatic that went  out of sequence because it’s hydronic oil ran very low. Must admit it’s still in my garage just know time to fix it. Purchased a cheap Indian Junta/ sonic Pearl as a stop gap a few years ago and it still performs perfectly so no incentive to fix the Varimatic.

      Is this a 'hack' ?

      By dnhb · Posted

      The plate is OK, thanks. It seems the answer to my question is that this is a 'hack' & for me another reminder that in general, one won't be the first person to be tinkering with an old timepiece!. As you day, I've been fortunate to have gotten some good advice and, just as important, encouragement. I've been lucky then not to have the balance spring break as a result of my novice 'ministrations' - but I did remember to 'stroke' rather than bend per se. The clock is of sentimental value to the owner so I'm relieved to have now got it running to time with the support & encourage of forum members like yourself.

      L&R Varimatic Needs Adjustment

      By storminwestie · Posted

      Recently purchased a L&R Varimatic knowing that the piston does not fully rise in the cylinder. The likely cause is air in the system. The manual calls for using a bleeder cup, which is as rare as hen's teeth.Does anyone have any experience with this issue and if so, how did they resolve it?
