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.

      Stem broken - can it be rescued?

      By watchfellow · Posted

      I think that a 814/825 stem would work, there are a lot of compatible parts between these.

      Venus 178 hour counter creep

      By watchfellow · Posted

      Hi everyone, I put together a Venus 178 recently, but found that the hour counter "creeps" ie. runs when the chrono is disengaged. This is the similar type of setup as the Omega 861, where the hour counter is driven off the mainspring barrel, but stopped when the chrono is disengaged by a friction spring.  Am I correct in assuming that the friction spring for the hour counter driving pinion should be dry? I am guessing that the issue will be either the spring or the driving pinion, but while the driving pinion has some wear the spring looks decent.  I've attached a couple of photos in case anyone has any tips. Thanks in advance!

      Setting power reserve on LeCoultre Futurematic

      By watchfellow · Posted

      Thanks everyone for the replies. It seems setting the hand is a bit of a guessing game, and I thought there would be a very specific way to do it. Since the reserve indicator hand moves clockwise as the spring is wound, I tried setting it right at the start of the black side. But setting it there doesn't really make sense, because by the time the spring is halfway wound, the hand is only at the end of the red side... In my head halfway wound shouldn't mean the hand is still "in the red."

      Lovely part of the country! I spend most of my days driving along the A64 for work in and around York. I'll be sure to drop plenty of questions soon! I've actually got a couple of watches on the way that I'm pretty sure I'll need some help with! They look pretty beat up from the pics but I love a challenge and an excuse to buy more tools 🤣

      Help - London Elliott Mantle Clock Night Silence

      By oldhippy · Posted

      I have two of these in my home. You need to remove the movement from the case, take off the hands and remove the dial and take a few good photos of the front plate so I can see what the problem is. The round nut unscrews and the hands pull off pull them off from the center and not the tips as you could break them.
