So it's been a really really long time.  We moved, much bigger house that needed lots of repairs but closer to my work and much better schools for the Kids- yeah we had another one of those too :)

Now I've reached a point that I can start working on my workshop (woodworking and beer brewing) area and also my watchmaking area.  To celebrate this and my recent birthday I picked up a 1970 Bulova Sea King Automatic 11 ANACB.  Currently it has several issues but hopefully, they will get resolved quickly!

Congrats from me too. I don’t have parts but hey, I’m jealous of you having a home brew and watch repair area so I wouldn’t share if I did, nah-nah-na-na-nah!

The Neighbors:

"That's it...I'm calling the cops!"

At our last house someone called the cops as I was brewing beer.  Said I was making moonshine-  cops come asked a couple of questions and showed up a few hours later when their shift was over with beers to learn how to homebrew!  I showed those neighbors!  :)

I’ve got the same watch! Love it, such a cool looking thing. 
Unfortunately on mine the stem has fallen out and when I replace it the pullout piece screw just spins and spins. I’ve torn it down and it looks like the screw may have sheared off in the pullout piece. You can see what’s left of it at top center. Do you know of any place where I can source parts?

      Setting lever spring

      By mikepilk · Posted

      I would harden and temper (to a light blue). It's so easy to do and only takes a couple of minutes.

      Here is the insert ring for rectangular or elliptical movements: Note that the length is the side with the stem cut out on the spreadsheet (in the picture below this is 15.15: Here is the fake pdf file, again you need to convert to .zip after download to access the FreeCAD and 3mf files.

      Omega cal. 565 - low amplitude

      By JohnR725 · Posted

      as you took the mainspring out what did it look like? It's amazing how much amplitude you can get if the mainspring actually has the proper shape. last week I was doing a 12 size Hamilton and was very much surprised with the beautiful back curvature the mainspring had. Then the watch had a really nice amplitude the group would be so proud it was 350 until I dropped the lift angle down to 38 that drop the amplitude quite a bit below 300. then with the beautiful back curve it still had really nice amplitude the next day. I really wish all my mainspring's look like this as the watch had beautiful amplitude the next day. So many of the aftermarket pocketwatch Springs I see now do not have anything resembling a back curve may be a slight curve and that's about all. They still work but they just don't work as nice as a properly made spring. then Omega as all sorts of nifty technical documentation unfortunately every single corner is watermarked with where it came from who downloaded it etc. very paranoid company. On the other hand I will snip out images like from the document on recycling a mainspring barrel. for instance here's the section on what your mainspring should look like. water damaged a lot of times means rust was there rust on this watch?
