Hi All,

 

I have questions about sizing a mainspring and the sizes on the package. I need to find a couple of them for a Marvin 310) and a Wittnauer. Looks like Cousins sells the Marvin listed as a 1.50x.07x.280x7? And with my limited knowledge I have no idea what all that is or means. From limited research I am guessing 1.5 mm in width? Not certain about the rest. Any thoughts or direction in learning to read these?

 

Thanks,

Gary

 1.5 width, .07 thickness, 280 length or strength. Be sure the end is correct i.e. hook, hole, or T.

      His reply seems quite honest and fair. Whats his feedback like ?, i tend to buy into the seller more than into the sale. Though i do take risks occasionally if i have a gut feeling  i can do ok. Missing and damaged stem can be a red flag but can also mean something quite innocent such as a stem release/set lever screw has come loose and the stem has fallen out and been lost over time. Missing crowns can be less of a problem.  One of first things we do when receiving a watch is to try the wind and set functions and rotate the watch back and forth to see if the secondhand starts up. These are good internal indicators that you may get away with only a service to carry out. Things i personally usually avoid are damaged fancy shaped crystals , heavy case damage, watches with certain damaged/ missing internal parts( parts that can't be self maufactured by the average repairer )The idea is to build up a good stock of commonly comsumable parts, this would be, crystals, balance staffs, watch stems and crowns, springs ( setting and shock ) , watch jewels inc. Caps, impulse and pallet stones, timing washers, all kind of screws.  Those are mostly at beyond a beginner level requirement .

      We do need more photos but the spacer does seem to be behind the lip.

      Cant tell if its a lip or a section of thread. If it is lip, then i can only think that the slotted ring is spacer for the armoured crystal to push up to. There isn't much info out there about www crystals. Generally they are popped off with air compression of a sealed case.

      I was thinking that may be a thread. Would need more hotos to confirmM maybe @B1N9S can tell us whether that 'lip' goes all the way around or whether it tapers off like a thread?
