I never try to mislead but the topic title reads like an advert for Viagra...

 

My point is though it's nice to see the membership slowly rising, when it hits around 1500 you can think "I was here when it was less than a hundred members!!" ..lol

 

Good work Mark. Those videos did the trick :thumbsu:

Its refreshing to find a site that primarily concerns itself with repair and is not bogged down with selling, buying, trivia & the inevitable fall out that goes with it.

 

I would like to say keep it up Mark, but with this threads title I will say well done & thanks.

Thanks guys. My vision was for this site to be a nice hangout for genuine watch enthusiasts as well as a good resource for watch repairers both amateur and professional.

It seems the subject has attracted an awesome bunch of people.

If you have any suggestions regarding the site please let me know.

      Crown and stem size

      By MKUltraBlack · Posted

      The Wizard did it 👌 I got the case back and went to take the movement out of the old case and broke the balance staff, went to 8 jewelers etc, all told me it would be a £300 service, had an old half watch (ww2 waltham) that I bought to try dial luming and put the balance wheel from that and as soon as I slid it into the palet, without even screwing down the balance plate, it started ticking 🙂 all working now, with balance and case all fine. Gonna get the case plated and re-line the box now. Thanks to everyone for their help and insight. Much appreciated 👌

      You might be able to make some money off of that.  👍

      Staking punches

      By Simeon · Posted

      So, finally managed to snag myself a staking set from eBay. It's a vintage Boley and Leinen set and it looks a bit rough - this is OK as I didn't pay a lot of money for it. Some of the punches look like they have been used to drift out truck wheel bearings! Anyway, I am planning on cleaning up the punches (soak in Evaporust followed by chucking them up in my drill and polish with wire wool and oil) plus working on the ends with an oil stone /Emery cloth to debur and tidy up. I will also make a new lid for the box and repaint the 'anvil' (this is the non-functional part of the restoration, purely for beauty 😉). Do staking punches come in a common size? 5mm? If so can I buy replacements / new to pad out and complete my set? I had a look on Cousins and they only sold complete sets, not individual punches so I am guessing that I would need to find odd used punches on eBay rather than being able to buy new replacements.  I haven't received the set yet so can't measure the punches but they look a similar diameter to others.

      Incabloc Spring Installation

      By HectorLooi · Posted

      The belief that only Chinese clone shock springs and not genuine Incablocs come loose is a myth. I worked on a ladies Omega a few months ago and being a genuine Omega, I was a little cavalier when opening the shock springs. The upper jewel was fine but the spring of the bottom jewel took flight when I swung it open.  There was a little gap between the chaton and the main plate and this was how the spring managed to slip out. Had a real hard time getting it back in, as the gap was so small. So now, regardless of whether it's a clone or genuine Incabloc, I always use a pegwood stick to prevent the spring from getting anywhere near the back of the hinge where it may slip out.

      I laughed at your comment because I am a Chemical Engineer and you comments are correct.  My chemistry is good compared to the general population but poor compared to a chemist. We basically let you do the chemistry and scale it up.
