  2. So possibly this isn't exactly what you're looking for but still interesting. So the first image of the first link you can see something made to raise up the work area. Then at the very bottom of this page you can see the rest of the bench. Design looks quite simple flat work surface simple frame and a raised center area for working on. Then ideally you should look into the work not down on it. Then whatever you're working on should be on the bench not held in your hand. Then in the second link you can see what Roger Smith is working on has a look of being homemade. Then both links demonstrate how not to keep your bench clean obviously these people never lose any parts because if they did they would never find it in the clutter http://www.network54.com/Forum/125316/thread/1031252004/Benches http://www.network54.com/Forum/125316/message/1122507877/Benches+-+Part+2

  4. A really nice close-up picture of the balance wheel and hairspring would be nice. Then background history did the watch suddenly changed to going fast or has it been a gradual thing and when was it last serviced? Then regarding moving things minutes per hour is outside of the range of the regulation system. Then moving things without proper knowledge could lead to bad things happening. I've occasionally seen people pop the regulation system off or you can sometimes bend a hairspring. Then it's also possible to adjust things out of the range of even the timing machine/timegraphe Then as already mentioned you've come to the right group all kinds of messages on adjusting and regulating watches and learning watch repair. There even videos like this one which explains and shows problem similar to what you're having. But it assumes that you have knowledge of how to disassemble a watch without destroying it. Absolute beginners have a much higher rate of bad things happening especially with hairsprings. http://www.watchrepairtalk.com/page/watch_repair_videos.html/_/balance-escapement-videos/watch-fault-finding-the-watch-is-gaining-r21

  7. If you do buy from Ramon (thewatchcollector) and find you need/want to replace dials/hands...... Aftermarket but superb quality. http://www.dagazwatch.com/apps/webstore http://www.yobokies.com/ If you want new/used OEM parts....... http://www.speedtimerspares.co.uk/ http://www.speedtimerkollektion.com/ Also Stefan AKA schillachi61 on eBay. Bought bits from all of them. Well respected sellers on the Japanese watch forums. [emoji106]

  9. Given the choice between an ETA2892 and an A-10, I would buy the A-10 for the following reasons.. 1. I will not support ETA until the change their policy. 2. It is based on the Seiko 4L series, proven design. If Soprod plays their cards right they may well give ETA a run for their money.! Anil
