Hello Everyone From Columbus, Ohio


Recommended Posts

I'm about a year into this amazing hobby, and I'm a little obsessed! (in a good way)

I started buying old Seiko Quartz watches on eBay, 90% just need a battery, then a re-list them. I'm not getting rich, but it's helping to pay for watch repair tools.

Anyway, I'm moving to automatic movements so I bought some old pocket watches to practice on. I've discovered that a wrist watch is nearly identical to a pocket watch in basic design!

I have an old pocket watch that I tried to disassemble and I can NOT get the cannon pinion off of it. I purchased an older cannon pinion remover and.....no way.

Is there a solvent that I can apply to the center wheel shaft? I tried a drop of lighter fluid last night. So far nothing.

Does anyone have a suggestion?
