Hello Everyone,

My name is Carl and I'm from London, England...

My background is Computers, Telecommunications and Electronics. I've always been interested in watch timepieces and decided to look at taking a course in watch repairs. Previously I used to replace watch quartz batteries and always pondered on the thought of doing a course on mechanical movements but I couldn't find anything suitable with work, family etc. I discovered Mark's course via Youtube must of watched his videos over a 100 times then decided to take the course. I only started in April of this year but I'm really pleased at watch I've achieved so far. I've managed to acquire a few pocket watch movements mainly based on Unitas 6487/98, 6431 and 431. The course is brilliant and what I've learned really does help with solving problems prior to stripping down. Look forward to some interesting topics and discussions on the forum.

Regards,

Carl

      Blew it with a coil

      By Neverenoughwatches · Posted

      Yep, i pulled that up as well when i was looking,  there is definitely parts out there if you are prepared to go out and find them.  I watched that video years ago, I'm not so sure about probing the coil like that. If you are going to touch the coil use the side of the probe or at least shape a nice round end to it.

      Is this a 'hack' ?

      By watchweasol · Posted

      Hi. In the picture not only does it depict that the wheel is bent but also the plate or is that due to th angle of the picture.  Already received very good advise so I will butt out.
