I'm thinking of buying a bunch of Archie Perkins books, and AWCI sells them.  The web site mentions a "members discount" but doesn't say what it is.  Can someone who's a member check out the discount?  I'm interested in the first four shown on the link below but its a lot money with conversion, tax and shipping.  If the discount was substantial it might push me over the edge to join and buy them

Thanks

Unfortunately I'm not a member, but console yourself with the fact that the traditional method of USA suppliers for trading with their former colonial masters is to convert the price directly from dollars to pounds thus instantly adding 25% or more, and then lump in some eye watering shipping (about 50% of the price in this case), just for good measure. Think of it as a kind of reverse discount.

I think I'll just wait till they show up second hand. :D

Probably not a great help to you, but for people living in the UK or outside North America Jeffrey Formby Antiques who specialises in selling Horology books has all of Archie Perkins book's ins stock except volume one, and he only out of stock as I just bought Volume one and Volume Two as I just last week received the book 'The Modern watchmaker's Lathe and How to Use it'.

I have been looking for a copy of this book for about 18 months. Amazon USA won't shop to Australia anymore and the price for the book, postage and now GST just makes it crazy expensive to buy from ebay.

I just bought volume 1 and 2 for just $45 (Australian) more than it would cost me to buy just one of his books off ebay.

He also offers %10 discount if you spend over £100 and being one of the books is £75 it is definitely worth considering getting something else to take you over the £100 mark.

      Epilame / Fixodrop

      By VWatchie · Posted

      Oh well, if Master @nickelsilver says it's the way to go, then it is the way to go! I stand corrected! 🫡 Are there any other places where you're supposed to remove the epilame from the contact point of rubbing? I don't think so! Thanks for the effort @Neverenoughwatches, much appreciated! 🙂👍

      If you're seeking advice for your "Harvard GSD" MArch II application essays, I'd recommend taking a thoughtful approach. Reflect deeply on your experiences, passions, and goals, and tailor your essays to showcase your unique perspective and potential contributions to the program. As for resources, I recently stumbled upon a gret platform for essays, and I must say, it's been quite helpful. Their selection of pre-written essays covers a wide range of topics, and their professional writers can also assist with custom essays tailored to your specific needs. Check out their offerings here: https://essaypro.com/essays-for-sale. Remember, authenticity is key in your application essays. Good luck!

      For clarity and ease of testing, I redid that diagram, flipping the circuit to match the layout of the physical watch.

      Hello, Thanks for the reply. The old jewel will get pushed out from the "outside" which is the dial side. The new jewel will get pressed in from the inside (shown below) which is the movement side, correct?     And the old jewel and spring will get pushed from the is the "outside" which is the dial side. Thank you very much for the information. I will take out the KIF spring and save it. Will update when the new jewel is in place!   Regards, Joe

      It's a little circlip style retaining clip to keep the pinion from riding up out of position.
