Recently picked up some new (old) tools, including a nice Bergeon/Favourite crystal press, Bergeon demagnetizer, Steiner Jacot tool and a seitz jewel gauge I've been looking for for ages.

Sharing my excitement! :biggrin:

Got my first use out of the Jacot tool today, trimming a balance staff pivot on a Molnija pocket watch.
Beautiful tool to use. Spool Propulsion Apparatus works well too.

I also picked up, belonging to the same watchmaker, some spare parts and movements, including this ETA 6497 I'm fairly confident was bespoke skeletonised.

Anyone have an idea what the pieces in the bottom picture are? partially finished movement plates? And the lower circuits seem to be on 35mm film, strangely enough.

      Hello all.

      Hello everyone from Idaho. I started up the hobby about two years ago and love it. My latest repair, that I'm very proud of, is an Oris big crown pointer date 7400B. I'm excited to learn and to help out where I can.

      Bezel for 1954 Rolex 6581 Oyster Perpetual

      An update... I bought some 316 steel washers from McMaster Carr. For days I have been turning it to get to what you see in the image.  it is not done, of course.  the inside diameter of the top as shown is close. The washer is too thick, so I am gonna need to figure a way to make it thinner. Last week I had a long talk on the phone with @SwissSeiko and got some tips. He suggested Harbor Freight insertable carbide cutters. Wow, they work well. Miles to go before I sleep. Here is my setup

      Plastic gasket for Citizen case back.

      By Kab · Posted

      Hello all.  I've been working on a Citizen H145-S073545 radio controlled. There was a plastic gasket in between the case and case back. Putting it back together I used a press, witch I think was a mistake, because it cut the gasket open. I've been looking online for a replacement but not having much luck. I've tried a couple crysta gaskets but that didn't work.  Any ideas of where to find these gaskets? Thanks all.

      Loose pinion

      By mbwatch · Posted

      Yes I think blue thread locker would help you out here. You will lose the safety mechanism if the mainspring snaps, which risks damage to train wheel teeth. But your watch might run. You can maybe try inserting a hair inside the pinion and threading it on. That might give it just enough to grab hold without thread locker. Or a tiny piece of superfine copper wire, a strand from some stranded electronics wire.
