Mark had suggested in his welcome message I post my everyday watch so here goes:

 

This is for in the shop or out on the boat etc:

And this one is for everything else daily. I appreciate the large dial and numerals. I'm sure in a few more years I'll have a Westclox alarm clock on my wrist:

This is my everyday watch for the time being...

 

It was my first mechanical watch (a Davosa) that I bought it back to 2006 . It looks really huge on my wrist (when I was buying this I was not aware of the real 49mm diameter!!!). I have just serviced it, following the super video of Mark of the ETA 2824-2 and now everything seems perfect!!! For the time being is -4 sec/day on my wrist while on the timegrapher shows a +1 sec/day. I will let it run for a while in order for the oils to settle and maybe I would try a new fine adjustment to bring it closer to zero (yes  I know I am a maniac, but I believe that this workhorse can be set better than the cosc requirements). What do the experts say on that?

That's a handsome watch, Evan. My Victorinox above shares the same movement. I have not had to service it yet but it runs +2 sec/week or so and that's fine with me. You should be able to get this movement close to perfect. They are a very good movement used in a plethoria of watch brands.

      Generic screws for unknown movements

      By Chief · Posted

      So I found what I believe is the setting lever screw! Am I right in thinking the screw next to the click is the correct one for the setting lever? However if it is, it doesn't fit in the hole which I believe is for it! I can get the lever to sit nicely on the stem and line up with a hole, but the screw only goes as far as the shoulder and stops. It's as though the hole is too small! The dial side has been disassembled by the way, the other wheels are in my tray

      Gilding after silver soldering

      By AlanB · Posted

      When faced with say a pocket watch bridge which is cracked, silver soldering to repair is often the only option (hopefully someone wasn't there before hand with soft solder). I can generally do this succesfully and tidily with a small torch and miniscule pieces of silver solder, but on parts which were mercury amalgam gilded the heat can have have a deleterious effect on the finish.   I keep wondering if there's a good way to refinish these - and despite having the needful items would rather avoid using the mercury process.   In the past for electronic work I've gold plated PCBs but this involved gold potassium cyanide solution, which also doesn't realy belong at home. I've read that there are now safer alternatives but couldn't find more detail (and importantly how similar are the results to amalgam gilding, since I wouldn't want to refinish the whole watch). Pointers would be very welcome (and yes, I know solutions containing gold won't be cheap!) Alan

      By JonC · Posted

      Ok so with the great answers for my previous question may I ask what these two attachments are used for. The one with the red knob is I assume used for hand setting the seconds hand? Jon

      Roamer Searock Crystal problem

      By Zedster · Posted

      According to Cousins site I need to look at document G22 as I think I need an ATGB at 304 but I cant find this size in G22 doc. The last thing I want to do is order the wrong one😳  Unless I cant see the wood for the trees 😆 I could be looking at the wrong style, I assume its classed as Round plastic Armed  https://www.cousinsuk.com/product/wide-ring-gold-atgb
