Hi All,

I'm currently trying to sell some watch making tools on behalf of a family member and I came across this website while researching a Bergeon platax tool (2677) that I have.

Seemingly they are quite rare and sought after! 

Is it ok to post items for sale here straight away?

 

Thanks, Tim

Thank you for your introduction and welcome to this friendly forum.

Sorry TRyn. You better read this.

Items for sale

We have decided that this forum is not to be used for the promotion of items for sale by members, and to concentrate on building this forums reputation as a community website dedicated to the discussion of watch repair and horology related matters.

Thanks for the reply! 

No problem, that's why I asked here first. I plan on keeping some of the tools and attempting to repair a few of the pocket watches myself so I'll stick around! 

I have some of the items listed on various groups on Facebook too if anyone wants to contact me about the tools.

I'll try and advertise it on eBay too. Although I've noticed that some items I have listed don't easily appear on other people searches for some reason, even with the exact title searched. 

I'm looking to sell it to pay for some legal fee's, the joys of dealing with a deceased persons house who didn't leave a will :)

Thanks for the advice!

    • 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.
    • Thanks ww, its maybe not as much of a bodge trick that i thought it was.

    • 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,
