I’m not mean, that’s just my expression.

 

Lurk here from time to time but mostly spend time on the Japanese watch forums. Purely a hobbyist with a few years experience so far. Hopefully I can contribute but I’m sure I’ll mostly absorb instead.

 

Thanks

 

Michael

Hello Michael! Plenty of info on here, especially when working on those strange watches that don't say Seiko on the dial...!

Haha Phil, that is exactly why I joined! I love my usual haunts, but I’ve got some late 19th century American pocket watches waiting in the wings along with a few Swiss bits. Had to seek additional resources

For your pocket watches there is lot's of info here as I'm sure you've already realised. In particular one of the guys here  @jdrichard  is a restorer of PW's and a bit of a whizz on a lathe when you need to see how to make a balance staff or something.

Thanks man. I do like making balance staffs :)

      Is this a 'hack' ?

      By dnhb · Posted

      The plate is OK, thanks. It seems the answer to my question is that this is a 'hack' & for me another reminder that in general, one won't be the first person to be tinkering with an old timepiece!. As you day, I've been fortunate to have gotten some good advice and, just as important, encouragement. I've been lucky then not to have the balance spring break as a result of my novice 'ministrations' - but I did remember to 'stroke' rather than bend per se. The clock is of sentimental value to the owner so I'm relieved to have now got it running to time with the support & encourage of forum members like yourself.

      In think you are effectively shortening the coil by shorting out damaged tracks. In my case as long as the continuity was good and the resistance not too greatly affected it should be ok .  One was on an era  movement,
