Greetings from Norway


Knut

Recommended Posts

Hello all!

My name is Knut, and my home is in Norway. I was recommended this forum by a watch friend in the US. 

I've been interested in Timex watches for the past 16-17 years, doing restorations/repairs mainly on the vintage mechanical Timex's ( although I have also done the odd Electric/Electronic Timex ^_^ ). I also collect vintage Timex watches. In addition to Timex, my other "brand" is ORIS watches of which I own a handful. 

By joining Watch Repair Talk I hope to learn more about the wonders of the mechanical watch, and the process of servicing/repairing/restoring one. And although I know my way around a Timex, I must admit that I haven't tackled too many other watches. Hopefully that will change :) 

I have also watched Mark's superb video channel - a great resource!

Thanks!

Kind regards, Knut

    • As Richard said, this is a really old school trick for joinery.  Cut i strip of paper, might need to be watch paper  around 1 " x 1/2" lay it over a staking block then press the stud screw into and through the edge of the paper upto the head of the screw. You probably wont even need to pull the paper away the head will pull itself through.
    • Thanks Jon, my mum is getting there day by day, so strong and determined, they dont make em like this anymore 🙂 Old folk are so amazing,  my mum used to love her golf, she didn't stop playing until she was 70 . Enjoy your trip and your golf.
    • Hello,  i am looking to source a winding stem (winding arbor) for a waltham 6/0 d movement. I have found some that claim to fit 6/0, 6/0s, 6/0b etc and somealso claim they will also fit the d as well. The d does have hacking which is driven by the stem seating completely. Given some of the costs of these, i was hoping someone would know of any interchangeability with a source, or know a source where a confirmed 6/0 d stem can be had. I am in the US so a US dealer is best.    thanks in advance. 
    • So great to see and hear- your mum looks great! …my mil had a stroke last summer in the golf course parking lot. I’m flying out tomorrow to visit and play golf. she’s ornery because she can’t get off the tee but I hear she makes up for it on the greens since she’s been putting since a week after her stroke 🧐…
    • Very best wishes to you and your family, as a carer myself I know how difficult things can be.
