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.

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.

      Date (day) CAN be moved without issues from the crown (position 1) but it CAN NOT be moved by rotating the crown (position 2), nor does it move in a normal 24hr. cycle. Clock functions otherwise withiut issues. Brand new Renata. Thanks, V.

      Visually pocket watches suit some people. Having bigger parts to work with makes things a little easier to understand, the con to this is older timepieces that have been messed around with. Teachers recommend starting with something new and in good working order, this way if it doesn't run after you have serviced it then you are only looking for a fault that you created. That didn't suit me though because I'm quite mad with a little crazy mixed in 🤪

      Got it thank you! I'll steer clear of the lower jewel count movements until my skills are a bit better. I'm literally brand new to this

      Depends where you are with repairing, watches like you have just mentioned  the Smiths, Ingersolls, Services are often pin pallet watches with low jewel counts, not impossible to fix but often quite difficult due to having more wear than a fairly standard 15 or 17 jewel movement. Saying that you may be lucky and pick one up that was never used much. As an example i spent a few weeks on and off getting the most i could from an old Smiths Empire, that did actually finish at within 2 minutes per week that could be improved further now i know it is fairly precise but not quite accurate . Sekondas are good practice pieces at around a tenner, though some folk call them rough but robust.

      Merged posts

      Hello people , this is maybe a question that the moderators can answer.  Can seperate posts be unmerged from each other. Sometimes posts are missed by others because of a continuation of them . Even when answering seperate people the posts are grouped together as one. Maybe it saves message board space ?
