I tried every avenue for a long time already, but I've given up now. Also old email addresses seemed to be cancelled. He may no longer be among us anymore ..... (?)

Aww that's makes me feel sad to think of....I know he lived in Miami, but I never got his contact info.

Bob and I had lots of PM's exchanges. We discovered we were both of the same year; 1957

Never knew he had health issues, he never mentioned them to me and he was always very upbeat. We were also discussing his (near) future (watch) plans. It seemed that one day it all just stopped ..... !?? So far, all my attempts to find out more failed :(

      There is one Oris there at least, and if you could get a Unicorn for this price!??! 😄 It says that they don't work though, you might need to figure out what a Unicorn eats then. 😉

      Rolex Cal 1570 Balance wheel rubbing

      By Jon · Posted

      Here's a quick Gif I made to show truing the balance using callipers. This has such a slight wobble, but is within acceptable parameters. The important thing is the balance doesn't touch or rub anything when in operation. This is an Eterna Tank. Here's a pic of the balance freshly rivetted with a new staff in the movement

      I just poked an inflation calculator, and $5 in 2020 would be about $6 in 2024. Doesn't fit very neatly into any status codes, which stop at 5XX, but that's honestly somewhat arbitrary outside of a clever pun for those that dabble in such things. Back during the pandemic, I would spend a good chunk of idle time in the evenings scanning through hundreds of listings a night, and I would only land 1-2 a week max. I would often go months without finding something suitable. A very small percentage of the watches in the price range are worth pulling the trigger on for my purposes. The number floating through the thread here may be somewhat deceptive.

      Balance cock stud screw

      By Zedster · Posted

      Hi, guys I got there in the end after several attempts using a screwdriver and Rodico, I couldn't wait for the tool to arrive and was getting pretty confident handling the stud screw without it flying away. At first, I was using far too much Rodico, and then realized you only need the smallest amount inside the screw slot. Putting the cock back onto the movement also helped as it gave me more to hold onto while my shaky hand tried to align the screw wobbling away at the end of the screwdriver😁 Anyway, job done and I can move on. Thanks again for all the advice it's really appreciated for a beginner.
