Also looking for a good set of screwdrivers 

Any recommendations nothing to fancy as it's a hobby more then a business 

So around 10 to 20 quid will do

When it comes to screwdrivers one can buy some inexpensive ones but I would recommend to get a couple of used ones in a slightly better quality for a lower cost.
It's not just the blades but also the Index finger has to rest comfortably on the little rotating nob on the top of the screwdriver, one has to think about things like this since you use that finger to apply force down on to the screw.
If it doesn't rotate freely it is harder to turn the screwdriver around with like me with my middle finger and thumb.
This technique prevents the screwdriver to slipp from the screw and damaging it.

PS. I took a look on your wish list and this is what Santa might deliver, a slight upgrade kit if it fits.

So HSL Your the person who always outbids me on the Bay for Tissot spares !!!:startle:

No I'm innocent but I might have a moment or two when my memory becomes blank. Since my firm belief is that practice makes perfekt I always want to have one or two movements to practice on, not much difference from any other sportsmen.
I just wish it could stop at one or two movements.. like a squirrel I have small stashes like this here and there..sad..

I received the parts you sent the other day 

They look beautiful and went about installing it but the face is to big to fit the case

So i put on the old face and it seems to working well so far 

Is there a nack to put on the hands and they seem to become loose as soon as you touch them

I have Brought a hand installer just waiting on it to get delivered 

Going to try and repair the other movement and see if I can use the face and get a case that fits 

Will put some pics on when I can 

Thanks again

      I'm going to be setting up a decent little workshop here at home.

      Saturday morning 27/4 Sunday evening 28/4 Monday evening 29/4 Floor has a drain in the middle so I am hoping that there is very little fall on it, if any.

      Epilame / Fixodrop

      By Neverenoughwatches · Posted

      This makes much more sense now, the oil is withdrawing itself to make as little contact with the epilame as possible. Same principle as wax on a car creates a hyrophobic surface that makes the cohesive properties of water molecules pull together.  The water beads run off only when under the influence of gravity but still remain cohesively beaded up. And as mentioned earlier a pivot would keep the oil in place on a cap jewel.  Epilame on an escapement would be a different scenario, there is nothing to hold the oil in position if gravity tugs at the bead to move, plus the escape teeth pull the oil about Maybe this is why its suggested to run the watch for a short while to remove the epilame to make two oleophobic surfaces either side of the oil, creating a ring of fire 🔥 around it 😅

      Balance wheelwheel crooked

      By mikepilk · Posted

      As with every skill it watchmaking, it takes practice. Notice at the top of the document it says, "Practical work - 40 hours".  I can get the balance wheels 'close enough' to flat, but never seem to get them perfect. Same with gear wheels. Guess I need more practice.

      Beat adjustment

      By transporter · Posted

      Has it got a beat adjustment on the platform or is it a fixed hairspring? in short what you are looking at to get it just about in beat is to get the roller jewel sitting dead centre between the banking pins. So remove the platform and take of the pallet fork and escape wheel to give you clear line of site, sit the platform with the balance in place and with it level look between the banking pins and see if the roller jewel is sitting between them, if it is nice and central its there or there abouts in beat, if its not the the position of the pinned end of the hairspring needs to be adjusted to move the roller jewel into the correct position, thats why I asked if it has an adjustment on the platform or not, if it has its an easier job.

      Help - London Elliott Mantle Clock Night Silence

      By MapleWood · Posted

      I've managed to adjust it. I'm going to try and explain it as well as I can with my limited horology knowledge but I hope it helps someone in the future. There is a cam to the right of the front plate as shown in the picture. As the clock ticks along, the pin indicated in the gear comes around and slots into one of the silencer cam gaps, turning the cam. The pin completes a full rotation in 2 hours. To adjust the cam to start at the right time set the clock to just before 7. I did 6:45. Then I turned the silencer cam anticlockwise, which spins freely, until it pushed the silencer lever up and was placed just before the drop. Just before the 7AM indicated in the picture. All I then had to do was progress the hands to 7-7:15which made the pin slot into the silencer cam gap and turn the cam so the lever comes down again, unsilencing the clock. That was it. If anyone comes across this issue again I'd be happy to assist. Thanks again to everyone that helped. Hey Transporter! Thanks a lot for the reply. That was a really good explanation and I'm sure it would have made my troubleshooting a lot less painful haha. I'm sure someone will find it useful in the future. Thank you again for taking the time to try and help me out with this.
