Latest restoration - a 1970 Timex Electric matched with a Timex signed two toned bracelet. It is not original to the watch but I think it matches quite well.

Eclipse pin vise are very good.

U could use a pin vice to hold the arbor. That would make it easier to turn it.

Initially when I saw this " Episurf Neo" I assume that was something I wasn't interpreting correctly? But seeing MrRoundel Message above I googled it and found a link below. Then I remembered Omega had what I thought was a revised but in reality is a new document on new procedure to apply Epilame treatment. So they're using FIXODROP ES/BS 8981 Which comes in 1 & 5 Litre Bottles. So a dramatic departure from the past new procedure and what gets surface treated has changed dramatically. New procedure is run the watch through the cleaning machine same as always. Then we get to the dramatic difference previously only a couple of components got treated now a couplet components are not treated and just about everything else in the watch is. Then the complicated application of the past is gone you put a new jar in your cleaning machine filled with the solution there recommending for a Greiner machine half a liter of fluid for the jar. One minute in their a couple of minutes in the dryer your good to go.. https://www.surfactis.com/en/produits/episurf-2/ http://www.moebius-lubricants.ch/en/products/epilames

Hi Anthony, I think the lift angle for the 6498 movement is 44. Try to configure this in your timegrapher - it will improve your reading for the amplitude a little bit (not too much). Cheers Thorsten

Ebay where else...It was about $185 delivered

My big dilemma for today was which blue dialed vintage Seiko am I going to wear ? First I tried my Seiko 6119-5411 which is definitely a favorite of mine I think , because for one reason or another It took me for what seemed an eternity to finally get this watch running and looking good to my satisfaction . I love the UFO shape....... ET , where are you ? or my Mad Men wannabe Seiko Actus... 7019-5040 .... well , as usual ,...I'm having a hard time making a descision on this matter so I'm going to flip a coin and see what destiny has in mind . to be continued....

Dear Bethan, I am not sure, if this is what you have in mind, but might help: Part 1: Part 2: I hope putting the links to youtube does not offend the forum rules. Cheers Thorsten
