Hi All,

I am new here.  I am a new hobbyist and really enjoying working with watch movements and trying to get them back to life.   I live in London.   :)

I look forward to meeting new like minded friends with an interest in watch repairs.  I hope some are also local to me to share knowledge and to learn from.

Many Thanks,

Kind Regards,

Yasser.

      Bezel for 1954 Rolex 6581 Oyster Perpetual

      By nevenbekriev · Posted

      Yes, the steel (and iron) solders well, but good flux is needed. This will usually mean acid type of flux, and after soldering, the part must be well washed from the flux, which is usually done with base solutions that will neutralize the acid remains. Actually, I don't know the current state of the wheel, so I am not able to give correct advice. But yes, if needed, new pinion can be cut. No matter what material the cutting wheel is, it is needed to start with soft steel (O1 is OK). After cutting the leaves of the pinion, the work must be hardened and tempered and only then the rest of the work to be done.

      1950s Seiko Marvel Balance Staff

      By Embezelled · Posted

      I doubt that I know enough at this stage of my journey to impart anything useful. I have the Laurel here, with (finally) the back off.  I also looked on Yahoo Auctions, there is a seller at the moment with what they've listed as a Seiko Marvel balance staff, but I don't know if it's the right part for your watch. It seems you need the whole balance anyway, and I'm not seeing any of those for sale. There is a very trashed looking Marvel from another seller that might suit as a donor unit, but no photos even with the back off, and the crystal is missing. It doesn't look promising: the dial is severely corroded, so useful internal parts might not be salvageable.  https://auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/w1112646076 https://auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/o1185016360

      So not a hack then, but rather an upgrade to modern space-age shock protection! 🤣

      Sorting through Grandfathers watches

      By zx6rfool · Posted

      I was able to find a little bit about this watch though a google image search; BENRUS H010 TECHNIQUARTZ 1972 1st US made Quartz made by Benrus. Using a custom E-block with the step Motor, a power switch and a Moto Chip driven by MotoQ at 32KHz on modified mechanical movement.   Well I swapped out the quartz. Still no joy. This looks to have a capacitor, it that the same as a coil. How on earth do I go about finding a replacement?
