the first link is too expensive and as already mentioned it's missing all the important bits and pieces that you have to have to use the tool.

to understand the tool and bits and pieces I've attached a PDF of the manual. Which also should have been included with all of these kits at one time.

then if you won the lottery a really big lottery and had zero interest in money this next link is what you would buy except it's missing something? Technically it's missing two things it's missing the physical book and the jewel plate. Jewel plate is really useful a whole bunch of jewels in a plate of cascading sizes used to measure pivots size. But it does let you see in color what things look like. The reason I made the reference to money has no importance is because you typically never use all of the set. It all has uses but typically you just never use everything is only the key parts it ever get used. Then typically this will run around the thousand dollars if it's complete.

then this is typically what I think of for a set. The older sets the bits and pieces are in a woodblock. Later on it's a red plastic. The holder for the reamers goes in the side of the block. So typically when you're looking at the said it's hiding if somebody hasn't taken it out. Then the only unfortunate thing about this set is does look like surface rust?

      What are these Seitz B-Jewels?

      By nickelsilver · Posted

      It's pronounced "bombay" like the city.  French for bomb is, 😄, bombe, pronounced the same as in English. Bombé, bombe.

      That's a really good idea! I have a 3d printer, I think I'll design something that I can clip on to the edge of my desk to do the same. Thanks for the idea.

      I looked up bombè, domed in French.  It's pronunciation is bomb, does a bomb (explosive device) get It's name from bombè? I know we're going off subject but it's interesting.

      1972 Bulova President "E" Sea King 11ACACB movement

      Okay, I checked with the fine folks at the McCaw Company, and they agree it's the correct crystal, and they have one in stock, so with that sorted time to get onto assembly. Starting by getting the spring into the barrel, which was a bit harrowing. It took me several tries to get it hooked onto my worn old winder arbor, but I did find a new use for the micrometer stand I just purchased. Carefully dabbed some Kluber P125 braking grease to the left of the divots around the barrel, and a little HP1300 on the floor of the barrel before popping it in--in case you haven't seen it, this is a great illustration I found somewhere on this site. You're not the boss of me, Bulova.   2172_Bulova 11AOAC 11AOACD 11AOACB.pdf Bulova_11 AOAC, D, B(1).pdf I got the train back in and it didn't seem as free as I'd like. Looks like the driving wheel with cannon pinion has zero end shake. That could explain the low amplitutde I started with. Now if you were me, would you push on the plate jewel or the bridge jewel? I've attached some extra pictures in case anyone sees something else I'm doing wrong here.

      What is it about this watch that speaks to me?

      By Razz · Posted

      I have quite a few watch brands from all over the world. For some reason this Timex electric from 1979 is capturing my attention this week. I am not a particularly fond of battery operated watches or Timex, but this one is different for some reason. Post your watch in your collection that seems to draw you in more now than before...
