Hi Everyone!

I am so chuffed to discover that there is this sort of forum.

I have been interested in clocks and watches for quite a while now and bought myself a few tools a while back. not having any knowledge I bashed around in the dark a bit with not much success so rather confined myself to always trying to buy clocks and watches that ran.

But even doing that I came a cropper when the ones I bought sometimes ran for a while then stopped and would only work again if I gave them a flick of the wrist in the same plane as the balance. 

Nevertheless, I do have some cracking timepieces amongst which a WW1 instrument panel clock, which runs fine and an early Metamec 701 wind up clock from batch 8. which looks beautiful but suffers from the above problem. I have posted elsewhere about this so will not double post.

Looking forward to exploring the forum and reading lots of stuff which may help to reignite my enthusiasm. 

Cheers

Stan

      Notifications

      By JohnR725 · Posted

      if you're trying to keep track of conversations scattered all over the message board emails are an absolute must.   looking at the bell icon on the top of the page versus the emails today it looks like I got the correct amount of emails. So making some minor change based on the one of the images up above I started getting notifications again. But at times I still have a suspicion that something isn't quite right. I have some feeling that the message board may delay sending emails until something so seems to be a long delay between when you get your emails just a weird feeling things aren't quite right oh  and then even though I do seem to be getting emails I no longer get notifications of personal messages I don't find that out until I arrived at the message board where I'm pretty sure I used to get notifications of those two. So something is definitely changed on the message board. then for everyone not getting emails you do want to check your spam folder. I have found that sometimes were open up an email the system I use warns me that it thinks the email is evil and bad and I have no idea why he thinks some of the emails are and some are not. But this is actually the program I use not the email system which also has a mind of its own as to what it considers spam so you should always check your spam folder.
