Hi guys,

 

I'm not sure if I heard before that jewels are not reusable. I have some plates with good jewels, enough plates to "restore" one lucky plate. Can I actually reuse the good jewels in the "non lucky" plates and use them in the "lucky" plate?

 

Thank you in advance,

 

Bob

      Help to identify Seitz jewels

      If it doesn't specify i imagine it will be a standard hole, if its olive then i suspect it will be labelled as such.  Did you say some envelopes have a ' B ' on them. Inspect the 2 types to see the difference

      Known as precise but not accurate , hitting the same mark each day just not the accuracy mark.

      As repairers and enthusiasts, we always want to see the movement or we simply want to figure it out well in advance of the inevitable service that will happen sometime in the future! 😆 We often forget that Sellita's (and ETA's) movements are made in different grades. In an Invicta we can count on their simplest grade, and in Caliber 5 their finest, so your numbers have me a bit puzzled, within spec though. Most important is that it gains or loses roughly the same number of seconds per day. I always get a little concerned when I read comments that disdain and dismiss watches like Tag Heuer's Aquaracer with "the fact that it only has a simple movement from Sellita" when in fact it has a movement of fantastic quality. Well, I felt like a Master Watchmaker and owner of the world! Seriously! Then after six months or so I slowly started to realize I had only scratched the surface. After another six months, I knew for sure I had only scratched the surface. Nevertheless, working on watches is a wonderful way to waste your time! 😉

      I actually like the look of that one and others I saw on ebay after you mentioned it more than the Russian ones. As mentioned I don't like the Miyota movements (my Japanese wife does insist that they have to be infinitely better than the Chinese ones even the Swiss clones which makes no sense as it is the Miyota design with a single bridge for everything which I disliked) Note I haven't started doing anything with the NH35 as I intend to use it in a watch and I am afraid of breaking it

      OK, so here we have both olive and regular jewels, where some have the same specs, like the 10/70, 10/80 etc. If I have a Seitz envelope thats only says "10/70", how do I know it's an olive or regular jewel? Just trying to understand 🙂
