Hi,

It's time to introduce myself. My name is Morten, 38 years old. Born and raised in Oslo, where I live with my wife and son. For the last ten years I have been fascinated by watch repair. First as a hobby and the last 3-4 years I have had it as a part time job beside my job as a Paramedic.

My interest beside repairing is also horological history like Breguet, G.Daniels and American pocket watches.

I am a big fan of the watch repair channel and when I saw this forum, I got very excited.

I will try to contribute as much as I can.

Welcome Morten,

You have a busy workbench just like mine. This is a great forum that accommodates all levels of horologists. For me personally I have found this forum invaluable when jobs don,t go exactly to plan. There is always someone who will help or come up with a solution or at least offer sympathy!!!

 

Enjoy

Hello Morten,

 

Welcome to the forum, that workbench establishes your credentials so I am sure we can look forward to some interesting posts.

You could start with the watch on your wrist or your watch collection or any specialities you have or need info on because we are all inherently curious about other folks watches here.

 

Skål

      yes by all means let's gather up our weapons tar feathers find the nearest tree in case Mark is not agreeable to our terms on our demands and storm his Castle. I don't quite understand what you're trying to do here? In other words you want Mark to somehow guarantee that the group will live on forever no matter what? You want Mark to somehow change his business model of what is trying to do or should we just take the group away from him? oh and is quite possible that Mark never realized that his discussion group would take on a life of its own. That the members of the group would like to continue on forever.

      Second hand watch market.

      By RichardHarris123 · Posted

      I'm not sentimental, I see it this way.  I inherit something I  don't like, I could sell it, buy something I do like and remember the person with the new item.  For example, I  inherit a watch ( I haven't), I don't like it, I  buy a watch I do like, every time I look at the watch, I think of the person.

      Second hand watch market.

      A lot of it has to do with a generations attitude.  Have we reached a generation of folk yet that have no sentimental values ie. Just an object to sell . I expect my kids will sell my collection , maybe keep one valued piece. Not being in the game very long, i have no idea when the sale of old watches boomed or if it has even reached its peak yet. If we go back 20 years what were ebay sales like then, expense wise and volume ?

      Omega cal. 565 - low amplitude

      By JohnR725 · Posted

      can I ask why you're not happy? did you notice that the acceptable low 24 hour amplitude of this watch is 160°? is there any possibility that a watch company could manufacture a watch that could actually run at a low amplitude and keep time? so if they can run at 160° at 24 hours and keep time then they probably would keep time at 240° which yours seems to be doing? then if you're really unhappy with this I would recommend purchasing an original Omega mainspring. Just because the aftermarket have numbers like an Omega mainspring it doesn't mean it's the same thing. Then I would also recommend replacing the escape wheel and the pallet fork. This is what they do in the Swatch group service center if they are unhappy with anything on the other hand they have an infinite supply of spare parts.

      That was reason for asking for mark's input, i wasn't sure if going ahead with dealing with the contact information would be particularly well received. @oldhippy thoughts ?
