Check the file size. also the type

Just to be clear, what the topic I have linked before is about is to inform that the only attachments supported are images (JPG and PNG are the formats normally used), and documents in PDF.  Nothing else will work.

are these only for picture's, or can you use them for video's sorry about this new to all this file lark

Again: no video of any format can be attached. If you absolutely need to share a video, post on YT or other platform, then post the link.

Hmmm there's nothing glaringly obvious.....def need a video lol. how about a gif? it may be enough to show us what happens. If levers are jumping then it's worth checking teeth to make sure there's no damaged, bent or even dirt in between them that may be upsetting the movement.

Hi thanks for the pics, As roger said nothing obvious, the lever is dropped cleanly in the count wheel.  Normally when they skip somthing is blocking the lever and it fails to lock properly allowing it to skip. But as yours only exibits the problem at 9  to 9.30 is a bit odd. Are all the other lockings clean and correct.  I should look for either somthing blocking the long  lever or kicking it up so a to release the count, check its operation for the full length and the interposing levers etc.

    • I think you are right wish one of the two spring should make contact do you know what one?
    • So I was cleaning an especially dirty balance spring with B-dip because several turns were sticking together.  However, after a wash and dry, it seems there are more turns sticking due to the B-Dip.  I can see it clearly in-between the spring turns and it is not evaporating.  I even stretched the spring upwards a bit to let them air out and they continue to stick.  This is after two washes.  You can still see the liquid between the springs. Not sure if anyone has seen this, but I don't know if this is an indicator of my dip going bad or being contaminated.  I would rise with IPA, but the stud and collet aren't pinned--they are either glued or shellacked so I won't risk it.  If I keep seeing this, I'll probably switch back to a heptane or naphtha for this type of cleaning, but I wanted to see if anyone else has seen this with B-Dip.

    • I only watched the start, but he's out on magnification by a factor of 10. It's 7X to 45X, not 450X
    • It's one of those tools like screwdrivers and tweezers, where it's worth spending more for the quality. And it gets used all the time. At about £20, the 4040 is not expensive for Bergeon.  When putting a watch in dial down, you have to be careful not to catch a sweep second hand, but once secured, life is easy - two hands available to work on the stem.
