On Friday I received my new set of Horotec screwdrivers. I'm very impressed with the quality of them, but the real point of this post is to let people know that if they are after new Screwdrivers that Eternal tools https://www.eternaltools.com/ has them for £27 cheaper than Cousins if you live outside the EU. I'm assuming its because they have old stock, but if you are after new screwdrivers you may want to visit the above website to grab some before they sell out and I'm guessing at that point their price will go up. I don't think this breaches the forum rules mentioning a website that has the best price for a certain tool, but if it does happy for the post to be deleted. Cousins gets most of my money, but Eternal tools was definitely the best place to buy my new screwdrivers from.

In that case it is an FHF 908. Cousins has quite a lot of spares for FHF 908, alternatively try http://obsoletewatchandclockparts.com/ or eBay.

Hi James, that is almost certainly repairable, it just depends on your level of skill, how much you like a challenge, and the sort of equipment you have. You have 2 realistic options. 1. Identify the movement and find a replacement wheel. 2. re-pivot the existing wheel. As it is a relatively modern movement the first option in this case is the easiest and most sensible to try. Check underneath the balance and you should see the makers mark and calibre number. Once you have that tracking down a replacement wheel or even a complete donor movement shouldn't be too hard unless it is something particularly exotic, but it looks like it might be an ST movement to me. The second option would be rather more challenging. Have a look here for some inspirational ideas not only on how to re-pivot the damaged wheel, but also on how to make the equipment required. To be honest though I think that you would have to be a glutton for punishment to re-pivot this one as I think you will find sourcing a replacement not too difficult.

Hello CB "The only issue with this movement is between 9.00am & 9.45am which is fault I can live with." You have noticed it, talked about it, thought about getting it fixed, I reckon it's going to "tee" you off and get into your head then it will have a big accident involving you and a hammer when the better half is out for the night (:-)) OH will probably chip in and say it's the best thing for it (;-)) Cheers, Vic

You can buy screw assortments from Cousins https://www.cousinsuk.com/product/case-screws-wristwatch1, but if you can post a drawing with dimensions someone here might be able to help further

There are a few on the market & I have recently used the Seiko two part adhesive to attach a lens to a crystal and it worked great & dried transparent.

I usually ise pegwood bathed in alcohol or lighter fluid. For more delicate work I bath the pegwood in oil and scrub really gently.

I have found that the keyless works are very jumpy on this movement. I agree with ssteel that if you check the keyless works the yoke has probably jumped out of place.
