berniethebolt replied to VWatchie's topic in Your Walkthroughs and Techniques
dead right although it would be helpful if distributors etc included info on dial size for what case for what mvt for what hands /stem and crown tap size and on and onnnnnnn. i recently purchased a stem for a Oris i was working on and decided i could do with a Oris crown. when i received it i found it was the wrong tap then i found they (C) DO not supply the crown to fit the stem so i was snookered so give up for now thats my moan for this week. over and out B.- 31 replies

i recently acquired this rotary to practice on and hopefully improve it.i have cleaned and lubed it and more or less put it back together and it is ticking away nicely although i have not yet put it on the timegrapher .however my problem lies with the date ring and the other components.when i took the guard off (carefully i might add) the spring was just lying about and i have not a clue where it goes.can anybody please help?

i ordered from cousins in the end. i settled for EB 8800401T9 which is obviously tap 9.they came in a pack of three which was handy for me, having a few movements. good luck

i have a similar holder which came with a beginners watch tool set i bought to start with.i actually still use most of the tools supplied but careful where! i believe the whole set is still on aliexpress and costs next to nothing.

Sorted it. Fiddled about a bit to get the right size of plastic die then it snuck in. Hallijuh! Thanks B.
