I'm looking forward to being out of the the bloody E U and not having other countries telling my country what we can and can't do. 

THAT would be a wonderful 2021 present for Denmark too, getting out of the ESSR ! Congrats with your new freedom !

HAPPY NEW YEAR to all members  And well said Oldhippy   I second that motion,  being run by Beaurocrats and self indulgent politicians with no Idea of reality is no fun. Onwards and Up wards.  But not forgetting our friends in the European countries who have no choice,  we are still your FRIENDS.

It is such a momentous turning point in our History to be once again a independent nation, I usually watch the fireworks display on telly but had to turn it off after two minutes it should have been a celebration of red white and blue but sadly chose to feature too much blue and gold for my liking, democracy brought about change that some politicians and media outlets still have great difficulty accepting.

Good point! But I am sure the same statement is true for all 53 Commonwealth "independent" countries, right? They also do not need to be guided by UK .

You see, be careful what you say ?

Any member state of the commonwealth can choose to leave but it is also open to join or re-join which some are in the process of doing no country is tied to it.

      New balance staff not riveting to balance

      By Neverenoughwatches · Posted

      You often see the term used on old watch part boxes.  Staffs for bracelet watches, timing washers for bracelet wstches etc.

      The Boro has changed quite a lot over the last 20 years, and not for the better. I actually moved out of the town 15 years ago to a small village not far away. Thanks for the pdf! Looks a great read. I'll get it printed today and put it on my work bench!

      New balance staff not riveting to balance

      By Endeavor · Posted

      Not having all the fancy equipment, this is a way I came up with. I never said it was the best, the most ideal or the safest way. Working on balances is always a delicate task whereby full concentration & common sense should prevail. I was well aware of the "dangers" / short comings involved, hence my "warnings", as quoted above. The balance wheel of the Omega was nice true, flat and one could clearly see how much gap there was left before the grinding wheel would touch the balance wheel. I stopped when the generously applied diamond paste started to touch the rim of the balance wheel, which turned out to be with a seat thickness left of 0.1mm. Tapping the remainder of the staff out went easy and flawless. My idea of penning this article was to show/share a way which, in my case, perfectly succeeded. If deemed to risky, or if the balance wheel is not true or has a wobble, other methods have to be followed.

      I loved his explanation of a teardown 😅 Ex military Richard Perrett, pretty knowledgeable guy.

      I also see a bit of danger for the wheel, at least you have to keep away from it and may get a too thick rest ring. My rest rings are about 0.05 mm. Better way would be a grinding wheel touching the staff with its circumference. Frank
