The usual collection of tat I neither require or want, that I accept with all the faux joy, good grace and manners I can muster, but at my age if it doesn't come in a bottle I can usually live without it, still the local charity shops shall benefit in January from my Christmas haul.

The best gift I had was having another Christmas with my cat Cookie as she is now the grand age of 23.

Indeed a bless worth to be told. Best wishes to both of you!

Flu.....:sick:

For both me and the boss (we share everything).

Christmas is still in the fridge, looks like New Years is heading for a wipe out too given the rather slow rate of recovery. 

Here's hoping that every one did rather better than us.

Canon EOS 6D Mark II full frame CCD SLR camera so I can finally use my old film lenses again.

Also Antique Watch Restoration Volume III by Archie Perkins .

I also got a Begeon 30070 roller table remover in the post, but that's not so much a Christmas present,  as I've been waiting nearly 3 months for Cousins to get it back in stock so I could order it along with new reamers for my second hand jewelling tool.

Took an old Seiko 5 apart and transplanted the movement into my old 1980 Seiko diver, then gave it to myself for Xmas 315fdd3607bcdcb77239db0a8e2127d6.jpg&key=4bc06a2b320ff7de3f03b4ccc332f09e70d5840dafec7ccf8c7b1de5b0e67c3d

    • No need for special tools. Loosen stud screw and just push hairpsring stud out of the hole.  Regulator arm is spring circled around the setting housing, insert cutting edge of a safety blade under it,  opposit ( 180 degrees) to regu arm itself, and pry  half of the circle up, you then see how it all is made at put together. Remove the mobile stud carrier as well,  reinstal in proper order, first goes on the stud carrier, second put the regulator arm on top and press it home. Exactly as nev explained above. Trueing inner coils is done when balance complete is seperated from the cock.   The part thats bent over itself. 1-Unbend hairspring as much as you can when balance is seperated, just grab the hairspring stud in tweezers , grab hairpsring with another tweezers streighten with  strokes as you  move the second tweezers  away from the stud. 2-Move stud carrier and regulator arm as wide/ apart as they go , to provide max space which comes useful in next step. 3- Fit hairspring stud, into stud carrier hole. 4- Put balance and cock ( when attached together) back on mainplate.  5- You have enough space to grab hairspring in  tweezers to shape as you move your tweezers  away from stud.         
    • Probably more than you need to know in these two vids, but sharing because I found them quite interesting. 🙂  
    • And then the problem of the stud holder and regulator which are on the wrong sides of each other:   I am baffled as to how this will have happened?  They can't re rotated into place, the regulator pins stop the spring stud from moving past. I don't think I can remove the regulator and/or spring stud without a staking set? 
    • Just to inform that this is not a shock protection, just end stone fixed in place by the spring.
    • I had the privilege to be put on secondment to RR Ansty just outside Coventry to help design and build a power station at the old Fort Dunlop site in Birmingham. The sound of those Trent engines when they fire up is something to behold.
