Just would like to take this opportunity to wish Mark and all of the gang of this forum a really happy festive time and hopefully prosperous new year. I have really enjoyed my time on this forum, the knowledge, the wit, and the honest posts when even things go wrong. My watch repair has improved know end due to mark,s vids and this forum with less failures and less of them dam flyers.

It is a double celebration for me as its also my birthday as well yes I was born on the 25th just as my dear mum was about to tuck into the turkey.

I have posted this short vid from a couple of years ago on my 60th and yes it was **BLEEP** delicious.

Happy birthday for the 25th mate - we have enjoyed having you around.

 

Personally I am very proud that this forum has attracted such a great bunch of peeps and I am hoping for greater things. At some point I think it would be good to do some kind of meet up or jolly boys outing but we will see how it goes, I am particularly interested in a trip to a watch house or similar.

 

But in the meantime I hope everybody has a great holiday and I sincerely hope too much turkey and beer is consumed. I just got back from Morrisons with my beer, so I am content now :D

 

Brilliant clock by the way.

Thanks Mark,

Funny enough I was thinking the same a visit to a watch house would be brill.

2015 could be a deifining moment in watch repair for many with the Swatch saga. However I am for ever the optimist and the latest is the BHI are in talks with the Swiss guys hope something possitive results.

I'm certainly up for a meet in 2015. I think it's very interesting that Christopher Ward have merged with a Swiss company and are now manufacturing and licensing their own movements in direct, in-yer-face competition to the Swatch Group. Caused quite a stir when they announced it this year. Way to go, I think. Anyway, a happy 25th to all - though I'm sure we'll be posting right up to the day and beyond!

 

(Might even save up for a CW Harrison auto next year... )

Very best birthday wishes, does that mean you get twice as many parcels? I haven't managed to see the vid yet, it isn't working on my iPad.

I'm most definitely in agreement with Mark for next year, let's hope it happens. :-)

      Eta 2970-1 rotor mount stops watch

      By Dmitry · Posted

      Here are the pics of the bridge. Looks correct, but as soon as I screw on the rotor, the watch stops. Video here: https://1drv.ms/v/s!ArG5E62RGctxjokY5ws85BzuJLVakA   Pics. Might have figured it out. I have been working on this watch for a while and since I got it as a non runner in a terrible shape, there was no guarantee that parts were proper. I think the main screw that was used on the rotor was too long, so it was stopping the main train. As soon as I fished out a much shorter and larger headed screw, things were good again. Please celebrate with me.

      B-Dip residue?

      By KarlvonKoln · Posted

      One-dip or naphtha should be safe, but are you sure it isn't magnetized?  I would also check that.  Although, if that balance is from an Elgin 760 0r 761, I would think it would have a hairspring of non-magnetic alloy.

      Replacing armoured crystal in a front loading watch case…

      By Curare · Posted

      Hi John I just did a Seiko Lord-Matic a front loader without a split stem, I used a crystal lift to remove it, although I had to have it that tight I though I was going to break the lift before the crystal would budge. So I decided that the press would be a better option as I think crystals with tension rings resist a lot of compressing. I used a crystal press to repalce it and the bezel with no issues, obviuosly a different watch to the Omega. I just took my time and kept inspecting the installation progress bit by bit Regards CJ

      Replacing armoured crystal in a front loading watch case…

      By Zendoc · Posted

      Hello All, I’m replacing the crystal in an Omega Dynamic, # 165.039, which houses a cal 552, installed through the front of the case. The replacement Sterncreuz crystal is, like the original, with tension ring. I removed the crystal using a compressed air technique to pop it out.  (I have a crystal lift, but I’m always fearful of marking the crystal edges and so avoid using it as much as possible). Now to the replacement -  any tips on putting the crystal back in?  Am I obliged to using my dreaded crystal lift to complete the task, or how about a crystal press?  I’ve put lots of crystals in using a press, but never with the movement in the watch. The thought of using one with a front-loader makes me very nervous, with the fully assembled watch sitting under the press. How would more experienced folks proceed here? Any advice, gratefully received… John Down Under…
