Looks like a top notch staking set you bagged yourself there, just hope it don't arrive like mine did..

Ouch. That sucks. I just emailed the seller, who is supposed to be shipping today, to ask him to package the items securely.

 

Thanks, SSTEEL.

In the uk it is against consumer law to put a customer in a worse position than he was before the purchase. Ie they HAVE to refund postage.

Except this was probably an auction and so consumer law does not apply.

Thanks, Clockboy. You mean the two smallest holes in the anvil are blocked?

 

After seeing SSTEEL's picture, I emailed the seller and requested that they pack mine securely. Not only did they do that, they marked each row of stakes separately so I could put them back exactly where they were. They also found 20 or 30 "bonus" parts that had been stuck behind the wood things that the stakes fit into and sent them along. Can't say enough good things about this seller.

@Don: Nice set Don, and great choice since you will have plenty of new spares when you need them! Congratulations!

 

@Micky: That was terrible Micky, I hope you sorted it out in the end. Did you have to replace the damaged parts, meaning, was there a way to fix them at all?

 

Cheers,

 

Bob

      Epilame / Fixodrop

      By Waggy · Posted

      Maybe I'm over simplifying this and I'm a little late to the discussion, but just by my looking at oil when I use it on a treated cap jewel  the oil stays in one nice bubble, but when I don't it spreads out to the edges of the jewel. I'm not sure (but could well be wrong) but the analogy of a waxed car and rain is accurate in this case, the wax is very hydrophobic and repels the water, however, the process epilame works by is a different physical process based upon cohesion/adhesion (oleophilic) not repulsion (oleophobic)  at least as far as I have read/observed. If one were to use a oleophobic substance equivalent to wax (hydrophobic) then one would need to create a donut shape to fence in the oil, however if one used such a strategy with a epilame which is oleophilic then the oil would sit on the ring of the donut and not in the 'donut hole', exactly where you don't want it. Even if the oil is smeared then the oleophilic epilame should pull it back to the center (see diagram below). Reference

      Looks lint the teeth on the hour wheel aren't meshing with the teeth on the calendar intermediate wheel, maybe the hour wheel is sitting on top of this instead of meshing?

      If the oil drop was freely standing on an epilame treated cap jewel it could easily slide off if you knocked the watch hard but the balance pivot keeps it in place.

      Latest 404 is this Baron which has a copy of a Seiko 66B movement in it, handy when I needed to find a replacement setting lever. Apart from the setting lever, crown, stem and new crystal (original was cracked) the watch is original. Finished result:
