Hello everyone, I am new to this forum and have a question to ask that I am hoping you can help with please? I am going to build a copy of the attached image using an ETA 2824-2 movement but I am struggling to find a Bronze case with exhibition back and the blued spade hands and Onion crown. Because I am new to this hobby I am hoping that the more experienced of you can point me in the right direction please? (fingers crossed). Many thanks in advance

Cheers mate! Yesterday was the BIG day, I put together the final parts on my Antima Sport Professional. After doing my first total service on a movement. I had not a watch cleaning machine, so I had to build that as well... It was the same Antima that I have put out a photo of on the forum on the 29 of march, when I introduced myself as a new member. Antima Before Antima after Thanks to you guys for all help.... No we have to test it and see how i runs over a period of time....

Hi everyone. I am new here and I have an issue with servicing my Breitling which houses a 2824-2 movement. I have stripped the watch down, which was running quite well but didnt keep the best time. All parts have been cleaned and the movement reassembled. I was careful to check the workings of the movement as I was going along so that if there were any parts out of place I would have noticed earlier. However, when placing the balance in place, it doesn't run unless I give it a nudge. I have wound the crown a good 7/8 turns so there is sufficient power. Even after nudging the balance it will run for 5 minutes sometimes or a couple of hours other times. The hairspring looks great and is not kinked at all. Please have a look at the pictures and see if i'm missing something here....Any idea what could be causing the stoppage? The pallets are fine and in position and with the balance removed it will function as it should with the escape wheel when I nudge the tail. I'm lost with this one...Maybe it's my lack of experience but i'm hoping someone here with more knowledge will be able to help... Thanks in advance guys! David
