So, inspired by Marks excellent videos I decided to try filming a service, by crikey, it's extremely tricky, working around a camera and trying to keep things in shot.
This is part 1 of a Seiko 7019A strip, a Seiko 5 (Franken) I bought at a flea market in Hamburg and should have had a 7S26 movement.
I could have swapped the movement for one of the 7S26's I have but where's the fun in that, besides which, it wouldn't have been the same watch I bought as a holiday keepsake.
Apologies for the first 4 minutes of footage which youtube seems to have butchered making it look 480p, it does go back to acceptable after that, I had tried to use my mobile phone which films in 4K so I could have a bit of working distance and then crop in to still have 1080p. If it doesn't rectify itself I shall have to remove and reupload the video as the original rendered video plays ok.

Thanks for checking it out guys, I never realized how much I moved a movement holder on the bench in normal use until I tried to make sure it stayed in the camera frame.

      @oldhippy, hasn't been on since the 14th of April, I messaged him nine days ago, no reply.  I  hope he's on an around the world trip with endless booze and supermodels.   joking apart, I  hope he's alright. Does anyone know anything?

      A lathe with indexing that won't break the bank?

      Some of the older American companies did at least claim to manufacture them so reliably that any one of their tailstocks should perfectly center any one of their headstocks. But it would take probably someone like nickelsilver to verify that in a big enough collection.

      You also have another potential issue with head and tail stocks, in my research it would seem that for the American style lathes the head and tail stocks were bored as a pair. So a matched pair is good a “pair “ made up from two different lathes cause some headaches. The Swiss Geneva style lathes are much lighter but were apparently made to fit any lathe. I have seen mention of being able to shim the tailstock as well to true up. indexing is again not so straightforward for a watchmaker lathe, at least not as I have found so far. Often a lathe will come with basic indexing which is limited to 60 positions. The full index plates do come up at times for eywatering prices. It is very possible to do that electronically. As well as what @SwissSeiko maybe able to point you to have a look here. https://imakewatches.com/projects/CNCIndexDriver.html   https://imakewatches.com/projects/MillingAttachment.html   Tom

      On a watch repair discussion group that you know that we love to see naked watches out of the case you show us a box? I think a book on watchmakers lathes should be helpful.   The watchmakers' lathe, its use and abuse; a story of the lathe in its various forms, past and present, its construction and proper uses by     Goodrich, Ward L https://archive.org/details/watchmakerslathe00good

      Got it. So a WW lathe will have that graduated drive pulley for different speeds and similar setup for the bed and tailstock, but they won't be fully compatible with one another in terms of parts. Thanks! The picture helps a lot.
