Hello everyone!

First Mark's video i watched was "How to service a quartz movement. ETA 955.412". More than a year ago. Needless to say i found it mesmerizing, and watched as many of them as i could in one go.
Been following his channel and this forum since.

As i am neither watchmaker nor collector, I haven't much to contribute to the forum. Yet. (Or maybe ever.)
But if anyone have any question regarding russian watches or texts in Russian, feel free to ask. Russian is my first language.

Welcome to the forum Denis. I could greet you in Russian -- I learned some many years back from a girl friend -- but I'm not set up for Cyrillic which might as well be a blessing since I don't want to write the wrong thing now and make a bad impression! :) 

 

Cheers,

 

Bob

Thank you for your welcome guys!

Bob, don't worry about it. As long as we have at least one common language between us, we should be set. But, willingness to learn Russian is commendable, even if it is only a few words!

Thank you autowind! Yes, there is plenty to read and watch here. No doubt, i will have a go, in time.

Добрый вечер Денис, я только что нашел применение переводчик для моего IPad и думал, что я дал бы это попробовать. Я не могу говорить ни слова по-русски, так что подумал, что это будет хороший тест. Пожалуйста, дайте мне знаю, можно ли это читать. Я надеюсь, что вы наслаждаетесь ремонт часов форум?

WOW...

 

You got me there for a minute.

 

I certainly can read and understand it, great test. Not the usual autotranslated garbage.

 

P.S. Russian text it says:

"Good evening Denis, I just found use for translator for my IPad and thought to give it a try. I can't say a word in Russian, so i thought, it would be a good test. Please, let me know, if you can read that. I hope, you are enjoying watch repair forum"

Fantastic news Denis, I've tried some others with horrible results. I couldn't miss the chance to give this one the ultimate test.

Many thanks indeed for getting back to me with the results.

I used it this afternoon to sort out a deal from Germany, it saved me a few pounds and gave me confidence to purchase the item.

      Mark keeps a close eye on his forum. I'm sure if you asked him he will reply, he might not do it right away but you will receive his answer.

      Epilame / Fixodrop

      By Neverenoughwatches · Posted

      I kind of think the same, the surface under the oil is the same as the surface around the oil. Can epilame both repel and attract , that doesn't quite make sense in simple terms, but is it more complicated than that. When cohesive forces within a liquid are stronger than the adhesive forces of a surface then surface tension is high causing the liquid to bead up. So  an applied epilame coating reduces the adhesive force of a surface inhibiting a fluid to wet the surface. So i guess no epilame cannot both repel and attract . If something is keeping the oil in place on top of an epilamed surface then there must be another reason for that.

      I agree with @JohnR725. Oil on an epilamed surface is essentially the same as water on a waxed surface. The same physical properties are at work (surface tension vs. adhesion).

      I think we all get a lot out of this group, and it has been pivotal in my development by the sharing of knowledge, experience and learning from more seasoned experts such as @JohnR725 and others (you know who you are!) as well as fellow novices. I think that having a backup communication plan in reserve so that if there is a future problem just makes good sense. I don't think anyone is trying to undermine the forum, but if something unthinkable happens, like the Ranfft website for example, then it would be good if those who are willing can still keep in contact. Speaking personally, and I know I risk a charge of heresy, it would be good if Mark could be a little more visible in this forum, and maybe give any insight from time to time on the future/progress of forum and instructional videos etc. even if its just to confirm the status quo. I appreciate he is a busy man with a full time job, but so are most of the rest of us and to post a few lines every now and then shouldn't be too much to ask to reassure the restless villagers. Best outcome for me would be a message saying something along the lines of: "Hi guys, all good, no planned changes... enjoy the forum, will message again next month!" Just my two cents.

      A nice looking watch !! Did you try 9010, instead of the 9415, on the pallet jewels / escape wheel? And if you did, did you notice a difference?
