I like mechanical watches, but I prefer digital:)

I like my watch to be always on time.

Like my smart phone!

However mechanical watches are art:)

Eyup bry. Welcome  to the forum . It's 5am UK time. Its a great place to learn . Loads of good guys on here to help you when you need it. It's nice to show them appreciation by using the icons on the right bottom. Everyone gives up their spare time on here, especially  the pros. You'll quickly get a feel of who to ask what questions based on their expertise and what you need to know. Any help you need with an issue of a repair you're doing, give as much information as possible to the best of your ability and photos are really important.  Photos photos photos. I think you gey my point, photos.  Enjoy matey.

Thanks for the intro @Bryan22 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 which has been stalled for a while as I was waiting for oil and a mainspring winder. Well, my oil arrived and luckily I picked up an identical 2nd movement so as I disassemble that one it will help me remember how to re-assemble the first one! I've posted some shots of my watches here.

If you want to see some real watch masterpieces, take a look at this site.

      Main spring

      By KenD · Posted

      Thanks all.   Movement is a Helvetia 800C. Don't know any history e.g. if the broken mainspring is original. Watch was bought recently as non-working. Really interesting piece that Jon, thanks. I'd only been thinking of length relating to power reserve. I don't have a mainspring winder (yet) so I'd like to avoid winding the spring into the barrel by hand. The old spring measures at 1.60 x .11 x ~290. Sorry, can't be exact on the length. The piece I still have is 275, but the second piece escaped during measurement. Best measurement I had for it was ~13. The micrometer does zero accurately so I'm pretty confident of the .11 Also, I'm getting the barrel ID at 9.5 on a vernier. I'm now wondering about going with a .11 spring? Given all of the above, maybe 1.60 x .11 x 300 x 9? Any thoughts? Cheers.

      Funny that you should bring this up. I was thinking about it just the other day. What happens if something happens to @Mark? The social bit is fantastic and I would miss it dearly, but I worry even more about the content. Together we have created a gold mine of information which would be more or less irreplaceable if the site should disappear. People (often with a lot of knowledge) come and go. I sometimes wonder what happened to them and miss them. We have no idea unless we have some private contact information. When I was new here I saw a lot of posts by @Lawson. He had a true fire in his heart for horology and was asking for an apprenticeship in his signature. I found that very inspiring and often wondered what happened. Is the fire still burning? Did he get an apprenticeship?

      I dont like to give up things that i enjoy Tom.  So my next question is how are we going to prepare for that inevitability and what are we going to do about it. Its not just about funding it but I did pick up on something that Mark said once. It doesnt run on fresh air , what if it becomes a burden or an unnecessary cost or for any other reason that i wont get into. We all know life can change in an instant, my life has been so up and down for about 8 years and was only just beginning to level itself out.

      What I especially like is that this forum is not full of ads. There are some but they're not interfering. No ads between posts like one certain big watch forum. Browsing is also very easy and light for a mobile device. I'm glad there's still room for old school forums like this. I'm a member in many facebook groups but there's really no long term discussion and if you see an interesting post you might never find it again if needed.
