Hello From Arizona!


Recommended Posts

Hello! I joined after watching the video on how to put together ones own 6498 watch. I recently posted in another thread on my issue. I joined because I am lacking the right screws and clamps to hold my movement in place. THe arnex 6498 has an awk groove where the movement screw and clamp go. Please let me know if you can help!

    • Hi a have another problem I'm repairing a elgin 292 model 16s but the balance staff are broken I'm using this tool to measure the staff lengths I had already purchase a couple staff for this movement all wrong very annoying feels like im just wasting my money how do a find the right one the measurement I'm getting of one is 5.50mm another staff was round 5.41 from the tool on that picture could you help please? Can someone please respond thanks.
    • I also find the red oiler in this set the most versatile size, but for cap jewels, I’ve found that the finer, Bergeon ergonomic oiler, 7013-N, gives me greater control over the amount of oil I’m depositing and gives me a more consistent drop size.  The yellow oiler is great for use as a probe - nudging pivots into place etc.  I’m about to file one down into a tiny tool to move the collet in adjusting beat.  Very handy, just too chunky to use as an oiler. 
    • I switched to naptha a while back for that very reason, i only use alcohols for rinses now. 
    • Hi all - I am working on a Langendorf pocket watch movement which needed the lower balance hole jewel replaced. This is my first time reaming, measuring, ordering a new jewel and I need to check with you experts if I made a mistake in ordering or if ofrei made an error in selecting the jewel they sent me. I did a load of research to prepare for this repair. I reamed the hole up to a reamer measuring 1.19mm and my pivot measures 0.11mm. I ordered a convex olive hole balance jewel 12/120. I received the jewel in an envelope hand written 12/120. When I went to press in my jewel, it fell straight through the hole with ease. I measured it with the most accurate equipment I have and I am getting 1.00mm. So my novice question for you today is did I misunderstand the measurement and ordering or did the vendor send me the wrong diameter jewel at 100 instead of 120? Another way to ask this stupid question is should a 120 jewel order measure 120 or did I miss a detail?
    • I measured the width at 2.05mm. The smallest wrench I have found so far is 2.5mm.     Just found that the imperial set has a 5/64” which will be just a tiny bit too small but a file should be able to fix that
