This thing has frustrated me because when the screws is tightened, the graver cuts into the screw and torques the graver making it fidgety to get it aligned properly.

I designed and printed an insert to solve this problem.  This is Rev. B of the design.  Before I am done, there will probably be a Rev. F!!

Seems to work but has not been time tested.

      Please OH, we should all be proud of our collections what ever they are. If we can't show them off here then we can't show them anywhere. Our favourite gives us a story to tell of why we love it, that story also tells others something about ourselves. These are some of the things that make our forum and our community so amazing .

      I can take pictures when I am home of what it looks like.  They will be phone picture as I don't have a camera in my microscope yet but I should be able to take a few views to give a good idea of the damage.

      One I have and it's a French Strike on a bell with Garnish worth around £1,000. I'll take a photo of it tomorrow so you can see it.

      When you are having fun restoring false economy exits via a window. Your time and money dont always matter Col , what does matter is that you breathed new life into something that was dead and destined for a scrap heap. That has to feel good doesn't it ? Some of my favourite watches to wear are my first attempts at repair. With a face that only its repairer can love , Rolexes pah !!! give me a Smiths pin pallet any day of the week.

      Introduction

      By cmcg · Posted

      Hi, I'm Ciaran from Manchester. I've have been teaching myself watch repair since January. Funnily enough it started with me replacing straps when I was laid up with a knee injury. It grew from there after coming across the YouTube channels Watch Repair Tutorials, Chronoglide, and that of this forum's owner.  My first proper repair job was disassembling and reassembling an ETA 955.112 (with the help of a video by Mark and a walkthrough from this forum.  Since then I've completed a few services of ST36s, as well as a truly battered AS 340 which had more things wrong with it than it did right.  I'm currently working on a pocket watch from WW2 - which I'll be attempting to fit a new balance staff to. As well as a Tissot 781-1.  For those of you on Instagram I'm there also: https://www.instagram.com/ciaranwatchrepair?igsh=MWZ3bHNmdDUzdGhqbQ== Happy to have found another place to talk watch repair
