Hello all!

I'm a hobbyist that likes workshop time, building mechanical things, and tinkering.  I've always been a watch guy but never really got into gear teardowns and rebuilds.  Even with many years of building CNC machines, 3d printers, and other contraptions I've always been a bit intimidated with getting into watch repair and servicing.  Well, I'm into it now and hope to learn and contribute when possible.  

P.S.  I hope my introduction is in the right forum location; if not my apologies.  :)

Welcome here. I am bit intimidated by CNC and machining in general myself, but after tinkering with my micro lathe I've found that is not much different from working on watches, time flies, little is accomplished, and more tools are always needed.

    • 1947 NOS Ambassador 'C'. Actually, the case came without the movement so the movement isn't NOS, but she sure is pretty.
    • Hi attached is the AS 20XX. Service sheet although there is no 2063 mentioned it may be of some use to you AS_AS 2060,1,2,6,4,6.pdf
    • one of the problems we have is visible versus invisible. For instance millennium disulfide another high pressure lubricant black in color. I was told by somebody worked for the Boeing company that they had a piston like device somewhere that has eight call it around it to grab it so it has to slide and in the collet has to grab. But if somebody puts that type of dry grease on where grease with that in it it embeds itself basically in the metal and they have to throw the whole part away they get use it all. So I suspect on all the dry powdery lubricants that they will go into all the basically microscopic cracks and crannies of the metaland that's where it is visually at least until you scrub it off your visually going to see it which is good because you want your lubrication the stay word is. But I'm sure it doesn't last forever on the metal it's just a really nice lubrication  
    • Thanks for the info. I can't seem to find tech sheets for those either.  I'll muddle my way though 🙂
    • Ohh spooky I have just aquired the same one mike, but mine has a drill bit inside it.
