Hey All,

I'm Alex from South Jersey. I'm brand new to fixing timepieces, and I'm starting to gather tools and materials. I am starting with pocket watches and hope to work my way to some fun wrist watches soon.

Thank you for your introduction and welcome to this friendly forum.

You are starting with what I always recommend P/W. The reason I suggest this is many P/W's movements are just like watch movements only a lot bigger, so you get to know the layout of the movement and handling the parts. Don't touch fusee P/W's as the movements on those are totally different.

      I dont think mine is. Its an idea to have them all in one place if possible, then a quick screenshot will have them saved. Unless anyone has any other ideas of how to reconnect

      Broken lug

      I have an Enfield mantel clock with a broken mounting lug (see photos). Does anyone have any suggestions about the best way to proceed?

      Thanks VWatchie! I did spot your walkthrough thank you. And you are spot on about the movements too!   Nick

      Yup watchie you are entirely on my wavelength with this , you actually said what i was hinting at, what if something happens to mark ? Will someone be able to take over ? Its not that long ago that the forum was down and Mark had to step in and fix it. And you are right a wealth of information that does not exist as a whole anywhere on the planet will be lost. Can that be archived elsewhere? It would be an absolute shame if the plug was pulled without warning, i would like to think Mark wouldn't do that to us. And like i said in my first post i talk about things other folk might be affraid to.  So lets not skirt around anything. It might be nice to have a place where we can all drop our emails just in case so we always have that contact. Can you make that happen  Old Hippy ?  i kind of think of you as the pops of the forum 🙂
