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. :-)

      Interesting interpretation of "traditional". I would say that Loctite is definitely the up-to-date and appropriate stuff to use, however, it is a relatively modern solution. Before the advent of such esoteric solutions I believe that the "traditional" thread locker of choice may well have been a sugar solution. Once applied the water would evaporate and the sugar would crystalise, locking the threads tight.

      @steve1811uk close but no cigar 🙂 I don't smoke anyway. I checked in my stock of parts and that's the closest I got to your dimensions. Good luck in your search. @RichardHarris123 I have an accumulation of all sorts of odds and ends that I acquired as a result of buying up the tail ends of old watchmakers estates. Usually after all of the great stuff has been stripped out, which means that the sweepings off of the workshop floor can be had for peanuts, but if you have the patience, can often be found to contain gold (both literally and figuratively 🙂 ). These came to me through on of those purchases. I doubt that I will personally be able to make use of even 10% of my accumulated stock, but having it, and knowing what I have, means that I can at least pass bits on to those who can use it whenever possible.

      Hi and thank-you for your suggestions, as per Mark's instructions I checked my browser "Safari" and spell check and grammar was not ticked. So all sorted. Thanks CJ

      As an alternative, clear nail Polish, the advantage is you can have a manicure at the same time.

      I use Grammarly. It works really well and If English is not your first language, you will also receive help with formulations. There is a free version that covers most of my needs. It installs as a plug-in and works with all browsers and word processors.
