Hi all, I just joined the forum.  I'm new to watch repair and about to undertake my first movement dismantling and putting back together.  (No problem with taking apart, It's the putting back together that's the challenge).. Been watching Mark's videos for a while and they are the best out there!

If its remembering what part goes where,  taking  pictures as you dismantle solves the problem, there are also diagrams for most movements.

Stick around and ask questions, practice, practice you will master the tasks.

Best wishes.

Hi Jack and welcome, like you I'm new to this and I've found videoing the strip down (webcam and camera in Windows) has been a real help, I also take still shots for clearer identification of what came from where.

Good luck with your first build and if you do get stuck there are plenty of guys on here who will be able to give great advice, not me unfortunately I'm usually asking the questions ?

      In the meantime whilst awaiting a better plan, please drop me a quick hello on my email.

      I looked at it like this, I've built a lot of stuff in my time, building structures and furniture,those are my creations and they will still be here way way after I'm gone. Traditional watchmakers felt the need to pass their knowledge on, ideas that they created . I assume with them as it is with me, leaving their mark on the earth, a way of being remembered. This creation of Mark's has brought thousands of people together to pass their knowledge around,  ideas that will continue to be used for lifetimes. Ideas that should continue to be procured. If for whatever reason the forum ceased to exist, not quite like Ranfft's, that didn't disappear but much less usable. Then that is sad, such a massive loss of communication between good people and a wealth of knowledge lost. There should be something in place for when that happens which could be next week, next year or in 10 years. Might not be a topical subject for a lot of folk or boardering on controversy, i did say i talk about stuff other people dont. But if you dont talk about it and something happens then you've lost it and you ain't gonna fix it .

      I've remained silent on this thread, and at the risk of upsetting everyone, the thing that worries me the most the the apparent absence of Mark. The moderators do a great job and the members also pitch in, and the site seems to run itself, but it is a concern for the future of this forum when the owner is absent for all intents and purposes. Like many of the comments above I would hate to log in one day and things be closed down as I rely on this site for ideas and knowledge and also cheer me up. maybe the Moderators could reach out to him, assuming he does not read this thread, and express our concerns and let us know the plans going forward? some kind of WRT ark

      That was the exact reason for me starting this thread watchie. Still we haven't worked out how the regulars are going to hook up if it goes tits up. I honestly think something should be arranged to stay in contact, we all help each other so much.
