Hi Josip,

To explain about the Eurovision Song Contest it would help me to know which country you live in and which language you speak but ESC is a competition between countries in Europe to find the most popular new song.

I am new to watch repair and my knowledge is small compared to other friends here. About your spring, it might also help to know which part of the world you live in. I will guess and say perhaps Croatia/Hrvatska.

There is a company here in England called Cousins. They have the spring that you need - part number GR3315X. Maybe there is a better place nearer to you. About the dial, I think it would be better to ask someone else here. They will answer you soon.

John

Ha-ha! Sorry Josip, I misunderstood!

I said about ESC because nobody had answered your post. I wondered where they all were and I said that I thought they were all watching ESC on TV because here in the UK, for many people (men), the ESC is an embarrassing joke. The real answer is that they were all out at their favourite bar. :-)

      Blew it with a coil

      [Myota2034] Custom simple quartz watch — PricewaterhouseCoopers On a very very different note, here is a watch from approximately 2000 when I was a Partner with PwC, Management Consulting. It was a simple “marketing watch” with a clever “vase of knowledge” that is subtly revealed on the dial as the second hand progresses. Clever for a simple watch!⌚️

      Mainspring winder question.

      By Neverenoughwatches · Posted

      I think someone else has though. Some where here using a modified perspex sheet. I may be wrong i may be right , i think it involved fitting the arbor to a pin vice. I dont have experience of the bergeon winders, are the handles not interchangeable ?

      Dial Dots

      By Neverenoughwatches · Posted

      Never tried dial dots, i always considered them as a bit of a bodge.  You are adding something that was never intended to be there. I wonder how the adhesive reacts to any part of the movement, hot summer heat and i think things might turn sticky. Most adhesive backed stuff has a tendency to soften and slide around so it may spread, i have used a lot of so called sticks all adhesives in my industry that are just not up to the job. I suppose they get you out of a problem quickly, but how permanently might that be ? I would just explain to the owner that it may or may not work. WWs other ideas are a much more permanent solution but both have their risks . I've tried milling and dial feet replacements, hmm it was ok, ive heard of folk dimpling the face , so that needs care . And i have soldered a few times , all with good results but i am very careful and I practiced it a lot.
