Hi JD, this is a good read to help understand no name watches. https://www.vintagewatchstraps.com/whomademywatch.php -
JDM is completely right. But honestly I think the hairspring would be a tall order even for an experienced watchmaker now... I'll be taking pictures today. Honestly to me this is really the hardest part of the whole watchmaker thing. Hairsprings are so delicate and my hands don't seem to be steady enough yet, especially my left hand. And as jdm said, I just learn from Mark's course. I wish I could learn this in person. Thanks! -
Good jobe. You will get shinier results on chrome plated parts like bridge, mainplate so on, if you soak 24 to 48 hrs in just coke and use powdered detergent on tooth brush to scrub the rust away and keep brushing under tap water as a rinse. -
It might be nice if you gave us a picture looking straight down at the chronograph with as much detail as you can. One of the minor problems with the chronographs are and it's mentioned in the manual not all screws are screws. Some of the screws are for adjusting things and if you rotate them without knowing what you're doing that would be bad. -
Hi, I'm new this site, a happy tinkerer but thought I would say hi and see if anyone can help. I have a mantle clock which had a broken suspension spring - type E with two springs approx 21mm in length - I have replaced this without any fuss but when the pendulum swings it has a little kick outwards at the end of the arc. It looks as if it's swinging more on one spring than the other which may be causing the pendulums erratic path and could have caused the spring to snap in the first place. the only thing I can think of is if the suspension spring is sitting too tightly in its mount. Are these supposed to sit loose? has anyone seen this sort of thing before?
