So the time has come to do a small tutorial on how one could assemble an own noname Watch out of parts harvested from the deepest
coners of the web. I took a look in my drawers and after a stiff G&T I decided there might be parts enought to make a try.
This should not be looked as the final solution but rather as a complement to Everything else created out there.
The tutorial is a 50+ page Collection of Pictures and Words in a PDF format which makes it possible to read it offline too. The Pictures are mine original works so you could even use it as a 
slideshow at your next Company party!

The result from mine attemt looks Little like this..

The good news is, I have got couple of SS cases for a perfect fit with ETA 2824 and most eta automatics.

The bad news: I need and expect an escapement wheel for bulova 11blacd in return .:lol::geek:.

Regards

Have a escape wheel for a Bulova  11 blacd . If you like i can send.  Maybe we can do something as i same as HSL from Sweden . No charge for me but do HSL want the case feel free to send it to him. Send me a PM and we work something out.

Thanks for the offer but I'm not in a need for a watch case right now, maybe someone else wants to try out a build?

I read the thread now properly and see that you already done a build.  My offer stands if Nucejoe needs a escape wheel . Have one that looks okay .

Thank you @rogart63 , for sending me the escapewheel. I will pass on three winding stems and three staffs to forum members in appreciation of your generosity.

      Gilding after silver soldering

      By AlanB · Posted

      When faced with say a pocket watch bridge which is cracked, silver soldering to repair is often the only option (hopefully someone wasn't there before hand with soft solder). I can generally do this succesfully and tidily with a small torch and miniscule pieces of silver solder, but on parts which were mercury amalgam gilded the heat can have have a deleterious effect on the finish.   I keep wondering if there's a good way to refinish these - and despite having the needful items would rather avoid using the mercury process.   In the past for electronic work I've gold plated PCBs but this involved gold potassium cyanide solution, which also doesn't realy belong at home. I've read that there are now safer alternatives but couldn't find more detail (and importantly how similar are the results to amalgam gilding, since I wouldn't want to refinish the whole watch). Pointers would be very welcome (and yes, I know solutions containing gold won't be cheap!) Alan

      By JonC · Posted

      Ok so with the great answers for my previous question may I ask what these two attachments are used for. The one with the red knob is I assume used for hand setting the seconds hand? Jon

      Roamer Searock Crystal problem

      By Zedster · Posted

      According to Cousins site I need to look at document G22 as I think I need an ATGB at 304 but I cant find this size in G22 doc. The last thing I want to do is order the wrong one😳  Unless I cant see the wood for the trees 😆 I could be looking at the wrong style, I assume its classed as Round plastic Armed  https://www.cousinsuk.com/product/wide-ring-gold-atgb

      Dial feet removal

      By JonC · Posted

      When building a new Watch I have tended to use a file to remove the remnants of dial feet that are not needed as many dials come with four feet to accomodate different movements, but this can be a bit messy so now I use this with a great deal more precision as you can use an appropriate bit for the job and keep it very localised.
