  1. I need some help please as I'm very much a newbie at this. A friend passed me an ebay special he picked up. It's on Ollech & Wajs Selectron Computer pilot watch with an EB 8021N 17 Jewels. After complete teardown, clean and rebuild it is running over 1s/minute slow. Amplitude was very low (120-140) so I replaced the mainspring since it's an old watch and it's all I could think of. This brought the amplitude up a bit (~180-190). The barrel arbor also got replaced as the pivot on the dial side had completely sheared off. Is there something about pin-pallet's that the basic (Weishi No. 1000) timegrapher can't handle? It has a very odd display with multiple lines running across. I just don't have enough experience to know where I might be going wrong. Thanks in advance. Herb I've attached a pic of the timegrapher display and a link to the an album of the teardown.

  2. My name is Kevin. I grew up in Portland Oregon and Hollywood California. I live in Los Angeles, and spend time between LA and a town I cannot pronounce 50km northeast of Bangkok Thailand. I have a few watches and do not fix them. I have had issues with expensive repairs. I would explain but I would hate to get banned so soon. My daily watch is a Seiko SKX007 or a Marathon GSAR. The Maratac SR-9015L is favored over my Submariner, which I cannot explain. My newest is a Seiko Zimbe. None are for sale, which is not allowed here. Good policy. I am on Timezone, Rolex forums and others. I will discuss watches with anyone. Discussing time required some understanding of physics. Probably boring. Mark, your videos are great. I can talk with Jack, my watch repairman, in detail more than "it doesnt run". I am beginning to understand in-beat and a few detail I have not mastered. Someday I will find a master artist to redo my Rolex 1675 dial. The cracking never bothered me. These things happen with years of daily use. I felt old when an AD refered to my 1675 as vintage, new in 1983. I see your crossed a Patreon milestone. Good for you.
