Chaps,

Noticed in this months BHI an ad for a Horological auction on the 28th March.

It is at "The White hart barn" Godstone RH9 8DU

 

It is an auction off a single owner's collection of clocks,watches,tool,spare parts & books. There is a £3 reg fee. Doors open 11am for viewing sale starts @ 1.30pm.

 

Anyone in this area I guess its worth a look. I would attend but I am in foreign parts during this period.

Ok, The auction is being organised by the South London Branch of the BHI.

I cannot copy the ad and paste as I might get into trouble with the BHI (copyright). However it states there to be around 250 lots,"which we will be selling without reserve or buyers' premium".

 

Members of the BHI slb are very welcome to attend, as are west dean horology students. It does not state the general public are invited but I would think that this is a given.

 

Highlights of the sale are on their web site www.slbbhi.co.uk

 

They are unable to provide a catalogue

      B-Dip residue?

      By Geotex · Posted

      We think about these preps as "one-dips" partly because they are terrific solvents but also because the parts they are used on are often cleaner in general than many other parts. But old oils petrify, and even something like B-Dip can't clean up over-soiled parts without some extra effort, as mentioned above. There is an intermediate step during cleaning where the solvent can partially dissolve tarry residues so they have a more liquid varnish-like consistency, and that could well be what you are seeing on the coils after two washes. I wouldn't worry that your B-Dip was contaminated before you used it on this hairspring, but it I wouldn't re-use that aliquot AFTER this cleaning!

      Welcome to the forum, enjoy.. Normally if a hand wound watch does not fully wind ie just keeps winding there is an error with mainspring, either slipping around its winding arbour or the mainspring is broken.

      Most all my 404 candidates are coming from swap meets and "antiques fairs". One more $4US plus battery and elbow grease. Unnamed digital on a decent ss bracelet. Gains 10 seconds a day so not that accurate...

      I voted.for the 6.99 assuming £, which works out to $8.74US at the current exchange rate.

      £4.04 originally worked out to $5, or thereabouts accounting for currency fluctuations. Inflation calculator from 2020 (when the thread was started, though not when Andy coined the term) says we're looking at $6 currently. What currency is the 6.99 inflation adjusted figure cited in the poll? $6 may still seem restrictive, but don't forget that's part of the point. It's a challenge. Thrill of the hunt and all. Diamonds in the rough. Also, and my personal angle on the game, a fun and inexpensive way to learn watchmaking skills.
