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.

    • yes I noticed the new site and I miss the old site. It's the unfortunate problem of the Internet here today gone tomorrow sometimes some of the stuff gets backed up and sometimes well it does not then the problem with the early Seiko's were there were not necessarily designed for distribution across the planet and as such there is no customer support for them. So trying to find early stuff like technical information or sometimes even parts list for older Seiko is is problematic. But I did find you a you tube video. A quick look he seems to take a heck of a lot of time to actually get to the service single I did not watch all that but it does look like he did disassemble or started to say there's a tiny bit here  
    • RichardHarris123: Hello and welcome from Leeds, England.  I have family all over Australia, went as £10 poms Thanks Richard. Hope you’re able to visit your family here and that they’ve all done well 🙂 My relatives arrived from England in the 1790s transported on the ‘Second & Third Fleets’—a story of timber sailing ships, of convicts and doing well in this huge Country of Australia. When I visited the UK in the 1980s, I was too young to comprehend the depth and breadth of its history…  Best wishes, Mike William Chapman, my 4th great Grandad’s charges, at age 23 read at the Old Bailey; sentenced to 7 years of transportation to Sydney.
    • The whole process and the progress are closely observed, it's hand-driven and very controlled. I can't see the "danger", unless you are watching the TV while doing it. As you could have read, and in this quote "wheel" is the balance-wheel.
    • Have you got the pallet fork installed in the movement when you see the train move when using the setting works? As nevenbekriev said, without the pallet fork to lock the train, the behaviour you are describing is normal. If this is happening with the pallet fork installed, you have a problem in the gear train, it should be immobile when the pallet fork is locking the escape wheel.  The fit of the circlip above the pinions on that wheel is crooked in your pictures, it should sit flat up against the upper pinion as in Marc’s picture.  Hope that helps, Mark
    • Hi I got a Jaeger LeCoultre K911 movement, where one of the stems was broken. Part no. Should be 401.  Im based in Europe and tried Cousins but its discontinued. They except to get stem in stock for cal. K916 but will that work? Or Is there a way out to join the ends?
