Hello Mark,
Are you sure, you have everything in the right place.[emoji3] A new workshop takes a lot of planning
Not sure of anything at the moment - bloody exhausted :D

A word of encouragement:  I retired and moved into a new home in August of 2005.  I lost my favorite microphone.

Finally purchased a replacement after 3 weeks of searching.

I found the old one last week.

What season is this in Taiwan?

You're serious?   Must be a bit of culture shock.  Is there a decent tin of Spam available?

Thailand.

I thought Mark mentioned Taiwan in one of his videos and perhaps mistook it as a joke.

I've not traveled much.  Been in the Rome airport a few times and spent a few weeks in Greece, but never lived anyplace more exotic than Kansas City.  Living in the Ozark hills was culture shock.  You know how far I have to drive to buy anything like decent scotch?  It's a day trip! 

I would love to see the U.K.  Give up my artillery and move there?  I don't think so.

I suspect Mark is having at us.  I suspect he has made so much money off of us he has moved to a large country estate!

Not long been back from Thailand. Love the place. Been 3 times now. Did Island hopping, lot of sea fishing - fresh fish with Thai food every day. The fish we caught we gave excess to t he locals and t he hotel chef cooked meals for 4 for 300Bhat.

Cool! Have a great holiday Mark.

Been here 2 years now and love it. Back to the UK for a 2 week holiday in July - my two lads are graduating Uni.

Great opportunity to get down to London and buy some new kit :)

I am after a decent set of second hand main spring winders at a reasonable price. If anyone hears of a set sounding like a bird please let me know. Cheers

I haven't heard any, but if you use Ebay -> Advanced search -> https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_odkw=watch+mainspring+winder&LH_PrefLoc=2&_ftrt=901&_sop=15&_dmd=1&_osacat=0&_ipg=200&_ftrv=1&_from=R40&_trksid=m570.l1313&_nkw=watch+mainspring+winder+-covers&_sacat=0
 

Then figure out how loud you want the bird to cheep, and put in your price range, I'm sure you will get something.

However I feel we are hijacking this thread somewhat.

Hi Mark L
Have I read you right, you now live in Thailand? I thought you were native of Uncle Sam.
Yes. Been here for a couple years now. Love it.

    • in general this shouldn't be any change. but in general questions like this it be nice to know the specifics of the watch in other words how was it performing before it was cased up and what is it doing now.
    • just as a reminder this watch is a Swatch group product. This will bring up a problem like spare parts and technical information. that I found some links to some information on when I talk about your watch and some of the technical and basically your watch is equivalent to 2834-2 for which I'm attaching the technical sheets. But equivalent does not mean exactly the same you want to do a search on the group for C07 as we discussed this watch before including the technical differences how it's supposed to be regulated and basically because it's watch group there is no parts availability. https://calibercorner.com/eta-caliber-c07-xxx/   https://www.chrono24.com/magazine/eta-movements-from-the-2824-2-to-the-powermatic-80-p_80840/ https://www.watchuseek.com/threads/h-10-movement-details.4636991/ eta CT_2834-2_FDE_481857_15.pdf
    • people be honest.... Swatch is evil for the watchmakers and repairers, BUT not everything in watches from Switzerland is from the Swatch-Group. As far as i know, Selitta got sacked by Swatch as a Movement-Assembler for them and they started to produce Movements in their own Name with slight Modifications. As far as i know, they sell Parts to the Market for their Movements. In most cases, if a ETA-Movement fails, it is a valid Option to replace it with a Selitta Movement, which i consider the Solution for this Mess with the Swatch-Group...... I have no Connection to anybody at Selitta, but being a Swiss-Guy, i still like to have Swiss-Made Watches, but not from the Swatch-Group.   ok ? regards, Ernst
    • Just one more greedy act by Swatch. They started a number of years ago here in the US..cutting off supplies to watchmakers that could build complications that many Swatch houses couldn't even touch. Old school masters who had gone through some of the most prestigious houses in the world. Otto Frei has some statements on their page about it. I tell all my customers to avoid new Swiss watches like the plague,..unless they just want an older one in their collection that still has some parts out on the market, or they have really deep pockets and don't mind waiting months and paying through the nose to get it back. Plenty of others to choose from..IE Seiko,..or other non-swiss brands Even a number of Chinese brands are catching up with the Swiss,..and I think that in time, their actions will be their downfall
    • Yes. If that's not what you are experiencing...start looking for something rubbing. A 1st guess is that one of the hands is rubbing against the hole in the center of the dial. Especially if you now have lower amplitude in face up/ face down positions.
