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

      Can someone please explain watchmaker service mark interpretation?

      By HorologyHead · Posted

      H Watch Repairers—is there is a ‘standard format’ for the service marks or codes lightly engraved inside cases of pocket watches or wristwatches?   Sometimes I can see there might be a reference to year/ month but other times am confused. I’ve included an image of the rear of a 1951 Hamilton 992B Railroad pocket watch as an example. Thank you for all information you can give, Mike

      Hi to Blackminou29–am a collector/ caretaker—good luck to you following your repair course—with hindsight I wish I’d pursued a career in both watchmaker/ jeweler fields—good luck with whatever career passion you engage.   Thank you Watchweasol for posting the amazing TZIllustratedGlossary! Best wishes, Mike

      Seiko 6601 Tech Sheet?

      By JohnR725 · Posted

      yes I noticed the new site and I miss the old site. It's the unfortunate problem of the Internet here today gone tomorrow sometimes some of the stuff gets backed up and sometimes well it does not then the problem with the early Seiko's were there were not necessarily designed for distribution across the planet and as such there is no customer support for them. So trying to find early stuff like technical information or sometimes even parts list for older Seiko is is problematic. But I did find you a you tube video. A quick look he seems to take a heck of a lot of time to actually get to the service single I did not watch all that but it does look like he did disassemble or started to say there's a tiny bit here

      An intro…

      By HorologyHead · Posted

      RichardHarris123: Hello and welcome from Leeds, England.  I have family all over Australia, went as £10 poms Thanks Richard. Hope you’re able to visit your family here and that they’ve all done well 🙂 My relatives arrived from England in the 1790s transported on the ‘Second & Third Fleets’—a story of timber sailing ships, of convicts and doing well in this huge Country of Australia. When I visited the UK in the 1980s, I was too young to comprehend the depth and breadth of its history…  Best wishes, Mike William Chapman, my 4th great Grandad’s charges, at age 23 read at the Old Bailey; sentenced to 7 years of transportation to Sydney.

      New balance staff not riveting to balance

      By Endeavor · Posted

      The whole process and the progress are closely observed, it's hand-driven and very controlled. I can't see the "danger", unless you are watching the TV while doing it. As you could have read, and in this quote "wheel" is the balance-wheel.
