oh boy, here we go again

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?

    • welcome, sounds like you are on your way so far, you also might be able to help with gold/plated case repair for some .....
    • Yes, I was referring to the (jewelled) gear train with HP (most of the time, I use 1300, but when Rolex says 1000, I'll use 1000).
    • did I miss the update of the message of something changing?      
    • I suppose it would depend upon what your lubricating with those? for instance what does the manufacturer say about those lubricants? I have a PDF from the manufacture and a rather peculiar statement found on the bottom of the chart. my suspicion is the reason the recommending would be without epilam the HP oils like the spread except when they're in Ruby jewel's with steel pivots. tableEN lubrication 2020.pdf
    • These types of hairsprings become weak with age and very fragile. Which I expect it is that giving you trouble, and that wheel is not the correct one, if it were not bent I don't think the movement would run as the teeth are not the correct height. The problem you have is price which depends on you. It can be repaired but is it worth it to you, because there is little value in the clock. A wheel can be made and hairspring replaced. Or hang on to it and keep looking on ebay which is your best bet for replacement parts or even a complete movement but it will be like finding a needle in a haystack.
