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.

      Rolex 2235 escape wheel jewel setting replacement

      By noirrac1j · Posted

      Hell0 @nevenbekriev. Thank you for your advice. I have removed the old setting using my staking set--I will keep the KIF spring it is still good. II am awaiting the replacement setting, and I looked at the escape wheel and it looks ok. What do you think?

      Seitz Tool - Help determine if Seitz or not

      By Hawaiikook808 · Posted

      Aloha All, I recently bought this Seitz tool on eBay, but it is missing some pushers reamers.  I ended up ordering new parts for those that were missing before I received the actual Seitz tool (bad idea).   Upon inspecting the pushers/bits, I noticed 23 of the 56 provided with the set had no numbers. Further inspection revealed a huge difference in the quality of those unnumbered.  Do all Seitz pushers/bits have a number on them?  I'm pretty sure that 33 of the 56 I received are cheap Chinese knockoffs.  The worst part is that I ordered $80 of parts to replace the missing pushers/bits, and now I'm looking to return the tool. I'm not crazy, right? If these are Seitz parts, they should all be numbered, correct? The first two pictures are the Seitz (numbered), and the other pictures are the suspect parts.  Will I even be able to get a refund?  Thanks, Frank

      Generic screws for unknown movements

      By Geotex · Posted

      Chief- The picture below shows the three parts from the dial side that are most useful to "fingerprint" a movement in conjunction with the diameter of the movement.  That's why forum participants are always asking for dial side photos in posts asking for identification.  As far as the setting lever screw, it actually sits loose in the main plate. The threads engage the setting lever below, and the elongated stem above the shoulder sticks through a hole in one of the bridge plates so that it's held captive if unscrewed all the way.  So you may be fine as far as that goes.

      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
