As daft as it sounds for anyone with a spare £10,000,000 it would probably be a very good investment,  better than money in the bank.

 

Sotheby's are actually looking for a volunteer to give it a full service.

 

I notice in the header that they have used the wrong type of break, as in break the record,  they have used brake,  as in car brakes, should be break.

That's a University education for you.

      Pivot Gauge

      By Waggy · Posted

      Could it be an abbreviation for Denier? "Denier (/ˈdɛniər/) or den (abbreviated D), a unit of measure for the linear mass density of fibers, is the mass in grams per 9,000 metres of the fiber. The denier is based on a natural reference: a single strand of silk is approximately one denier; a 9,000-metre strand of silk weighs about one gram." The pivot gauge looks interesting, however I wouldn't trust myself to drive a pivot into a wedge incase it jams and gets damaged/snaps trying to get it free. More a comment on my ability and incompetence than the quality or design of the tool 🤣

      Rolex 3130/3135 Automatic winding issue

      @clockboy The damage on the movement much worse. The images against the green background are my watch the other 2 are from the internet. The rotor has erased the perlage. I am surprised how is this watch still running.

      Pivot Gauge

      By dhall · Posted

      Hi All, I recently bought a few gauges on Ebay. One of those was my actual target, a roller jewel gauge. Pictured below was one of the other gauges I received. From what I gather, this one is for measuring pivots. No sure if I'm right here. A confirmation of my assumption would be great. The gauge also has an abbreviation of "DEN". I have looked around and don't find this relative to watchmaking. Any clue to what this abbreviation means? Thanks, Don
