Thanks.  This is what I was looking for.  I guess Horotec doesn't give you a price you have to fill out there form and ask for a price. I hate when companies pull this #$%@.  Why can't they just put the price on there web sight?

Horotec web shop only sells to Swiss customers. You can have the prices by opening an account but cannot buy unless, like I, you have a Swiss address. You can buy it from CousinsUK.

The Horotec on-line price for the larger of the two is £150 at today's exchange rate. The smaller costs £130 but is out of stock.

They don't want to frighten you.

It opens up rather than closes on a part. one use is to hold a back plate for polishing.  

Maybe it's just me, but so far I had zero problems manually holding crystals of all materials and shapes, for polishing with either a bench motor, or a buff stick.

No fear when you buy Swiss quality.

It's just the pain that is slow to go away ?

If the crystal fits around the outside of the rehaut (such as Rolex), you can protect the top of the case and press the crystal back onto the case to use it has a handy holder.

You can also make a "faux rehaut" to hold the crystal while polishing.

Perhaps use some aluminum, cut it across twice (to make four fingers) and then use a screw and nut to spread the fingers slightly for a firm grip. Note you make the cut AFTER the OD of the fingers are final machined to a snug, or slip, fit on the crystal ID.

      Been there. Worn that Tshirt.  'ping'. Hands and knees. Nothing. Nada. 20 minutes? Ha! I found it 7 month later. How? Well, after advice from a member, I invested in a £4 UV light torch.  Hands and knees looking for a 'ping' from a Sekonda, found them both within 30 seconds. UV makes the jewel shine. easy peasy. Could have taken longer. Just lucky on the location of the search. Hope this helps.

      Thanks Dell. I thought about silver soldering. Have never done it but would like to give it a go. Do you think to put flux on the butted joint then run the solder in or to maybe brace it with a piece of scrap spring steel?

      Without Our Forum

      Never and others. Yes, like you I do spend a fair amount of time reading the contents of this forum. I find it better that any other. Clear, lucid, no Prima Donas, and most of all an easy access without adverts. All thanks to Mark. God bless you mate. You give so much to many of us. What if? No Mark? Hypothetically. A forum. I did run a forum for a few years. Really enjoyed it, but became so engrossed that it did affect my health. I gave to to others to run. Not been back. It was very successful and rivalled a number of large paying sites. No adverts, no others but me. I did ask and listen to members comments and it worked well.    Costs Having a domain name, £10 annually.  Register the site with a forum company, free. Build the site using the forum company guide lines, free. It looked and ran almost the same a Mark's. All the same facilities. The cost was only £5 per month, but counted visits (views). If I recall, it was that price for 5,000 views. Each extra 5,000 views increased the price by £2 per month. Success was my own personal undoing. From £5 per month initially, it rose to £60 a month and looked like increasing. This was 10 years ago. I could not afford that, and asked it anyone would like to take over and someone did. I would assume that this is the price that Mark is funding for us all. His return is our continued comments on the internet about his course, and the fact that many of the big names on YouTube mention him as their Tutor. Those of us who have done, and are still using, his course, benefit. In comparison to other courses, I can't believe how cheap it is, and the value is exceptional. It is the structure that gives the value. Long may Mark reign. Ross

      Hi all, total newbie to watchmaking and I've had a bit of a mishap. Just completing level 2 and was doing ok, but I was just on the last part of the reassembly of my ST3620 when the balance end stone shot across the room, just as I was trying to see if I had put the correct amount of oil between it and the balance end, aarrrgh! Been on my hands and knees combing the carpet for 20mins looking for it but to no avail. Does anybody know where I can get a replacement from and what to look for please?? Thanks.
