Hi Frankie, welcome to WRT forum.

Will you also tell  about your tech/ watchrepair background and ambition in horology. 

Regards

I have just finished a foundation course last year and will take watchrepair as a hobby.

Thanks for the intro Frankie Lee, welcome to the WRT forum! I'm also relatively new and I'm in the middle of my first service of an Elgin Grade 313 movement.

Are you planning to do work on watches?

Hello grsnovi, I am working on my friend's fake Franck Muller but damaged the incabloc spring, need to get replacement.😅

I guess that's one of the downsides to "fakes" - they're not built using the same quality parts as the real thing. I'm too new at this to tell you much about finding one-off parts. Most professionals seem to have hundreds of watches they use for parts and/or bags of spare screws and the like. Your best bet might be to find a movement that you can cannibalize.

    • You know it H Ours was scrapped early 60s. Nothing wrong with joining the army H , i would have love the physical and discipline side of it, but i can't follow or be lead by numpties.
    • That's exactly why you need to exercise, or you'll meet with an untimely death! 😉 Well, good thing you weren't born in my neck of the woods then as you would have no choice. Back in the day when it was time for my service (early 80s) this small country could mobilize 800,000 soldiers in a few days, and mobilization supplies with modern weapons and munitions were everywhere and we had an air force second to none. Then beginning in the 90s it was scrapped because our politicians decided that Russia would become a Western democracy. In discussions with colleagues, friends and acquaintances where I mentioned I thought it was imprudent to scrap our capacity for self-defense, I was laughed at. I wonder if anyone of those people would laugh today.
    • Hi there, first time for me to ask for help since I joined the forum. I’m working on a Seiko 6138-0040 for a friend. I’ve already done a few 6138B’s, so not completely new to me. This one is a bit different, with lots of gremlins. Sheared off dial feet screw, case back ring missing, movement glued in the case etc. On top of that, on of the eccentrics  also sheared off when trying to adjust the hour recording wheel stop lever spring.  On the parts list, there is only 1 mention of an eccentric, namely the 823.619. Unfortunately it is unclear if it is  the one I need, or if it’s the eccentric for the hour hammer..  If it is the right one, I can order one from Cousins, if not I probabely have to source a main plate.  Does anybody know which eccentric the 823.619 is? Thanks so much!
