Hello all, how is everyone. Very well I hope...

 Does anyone know where I can get the interchangeable Arms for a Jacot Pivoting Tool? Not the roller side but the burnishing and pivot end arms. Also, if anyone knows the proper name for those arms please do say. Surely there available??? My fingers are crossed.

 Many thanks all,

                           David....

I got an idea and had to test it. I had one bad lantern so I made some experiments on jeweling it. I enlargened one hole so that it accepted the whole balance staff and then glued a jewel over the hole (Seitz flat olive with 0,08 mm hole). I used shellac since it's easy to soften if you need to adjust the jewel. Optimal solution would be to drill a hole the size of a small jewel but I didn't have the small jewel nor the drill bit. Or reamer small enough. There would also be no centering issues that way. So I did some pivot rounding for a test and it worked as supposed so upgrading these lanterns with jewels seems like an option. In a pic it looks like the jewel's not centered but it's photographed through the left ocular. Any thoughts?

      Blew it with a coil

      Unfortunately after much investigation, apparently the coil has been discontinued! Shall I get my service guy to try the solder or the conductive paint? 🎨 Final recommendation please🙏

      Eta 2970-1 rotor mount stops watch

      By Dmitry · Posted

      Here are the pics of the bridge. Looks correct, but as soon as I screw on the rotor, the watch stops. Video here: https://1drv.ms/v/s!ArG5E62RGctxjokY5ws85BzuJLVakA   Pics. Might have figured it out. I have been working on this watch for a while and since I got it as a non runner in a terrible shape, there was no guarantee that parts were proper. I think the main screw that was used on the rotor was too long, so it was stopping the main train. As soon as I fished out a much shorter and larger headed screw, things were good again. Please celebrate with me.

      B-Dip residue?

      By KarlvonKoln · Posted

      One-dip or naphtha should be safe, but are you sure it isn't magnetized?  I would also check that.  Although, if that balance is from an Elgin 760 0r 761, I would think it would have a hairspring of non-magnetic alloy.

      Replacing armoured crystal in a front loading watch case…

      By Curare · Posted

      Hi John I just did a Seiko Lord-Matic a front loader without a split stem, I used a crystal lift to remove it, although I had to have it that tight I though I was going to break the lift before the crystal would budge. So I decided that the press would be a better option as I think crystals with tension rings resist a lot of compressing. I used a crystal press to repalce it and the bezel with no issues, obviuosly a different watch to the Omega. I just took my time and kept inspecting the installation progress bit by bit Regards CJ
