Got it thank you! I'll steer clear of the lower jewel count movements until my skills are a bit better. I'm literally brand new to this -

Depends where you are with repairing, watches like you have just mentioned the Smiths, Ingersolls, Services are often pin pallet watches with low jewel counts, not impossible to fix but often quite difficult due to having more wear than a fairly standard 15 or 17 jewel movement. Saying that you may be lucky and pick one up that was never used much. As an example i spent a few weeks on and off getting the most i could from an old Smiths Empire, that did actually finish at within 2 minutes per week that could be improved further now i know it is fairly precise but not quite accurate . Sekondas are good practice pieces at around a tenner, though some folk call them rough but robust. -

Hello people , this is maybe a question that the moderators can answer. Can seperate posts be unmerged from each other. Sometimes posts are missed by others because of a continuation of them . Even when answering seperate people the posts are grouped together as one. Maybe it saves message board space ? -

Just got these good quality diamond files from the bay for Just a fiver, we all love a bargain dont we. Brand names are J.K.Smit and Triefus, two old diamond tool makers so not cheap crap. -

Its a touch under ive just remeasured it and added a wrist shot. Unbelievably it was £13 plus 3 postage. You dont find watches that nice for that money every day of the week. Maybe removing the epilame in the oil region improves the purpose of it. We may know very soon as i emailed Episurf 4 hours ago to ask that exact question. 🤞they are happy to provide an answer for us. How do you fancy trying a stearic acid vapour treatment experiment H . Shall i have a go this afternoon ? Stearic acid experiment underway, its started to melt at around 65° C. The idea is to find a large cap jewel to suspend over the vapour release.
