Yeah, I know I don't have to say that...but...  Heading out for my annual trip to the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness.  Will miss this forum and my watch shop but will exchange for the solitude in God's creation with no modern distractions (well, I am taking a SATCOM device, otherwise my lady might not let me go). 

Be back online sometime early June.

Keep on ticking!!

I am back.  It was very challenging weather.  20mph winds with 40mph gusts...thuderstorms, cold, rain...but we had a few sunny days.  We had to paddle out 10 miles in rainy stiff winds.  Not fun.  However, I am proud that...at my age...I completed the trip.  Fishing was horrible.  Late ice-out meant the waters were cold for the time I was there--so they tell me.  The fish were asleep!!

Wish you could send some of the cold over. It's 34°C with a humidity of 85% on most afternoons here.

Well done mate, pleased to see you back in one piece 👏.  Tell me again, why did you go ? 😅

      B-Dip residue?

      By KarlvonKoln · Posted

      You could also use a very fine artist's brush to brush between the coils.  If you get a size 00 or even 000 that should be small enough for convenience, and with bristles so fine that they are incapable of damaging the hairspring.  Get a good one though, like Windsor-Newton or similar.  I have never had a Windsor-Newton brush shed on my art or other work.  You want a soft brush that will not shed.

      Chinese clone demagnetizers

      By Levine98 · Posted

      Sounds interesting but how do you push the button if you’re holding both ends? the large current draw overheats after 3-5 seconds and the thermister triggers. A great tool for magnetizing things but I’ve not be able to ever demag anything with it because the emf is so strong it pulls the item off center (down or up).   I paid $89 bucks for it from  CAS-KER, if someone on the board wants it I’d gladly sell it for $25 plus shipping (probably US only otherwise postal costs are prohibitive). Just sent me a note offline.

      Seiko 7N22-7028 Movement Identification

      By watchweasol · Posted

      Hi. First thing to do is measure your oil movement as the vx32E and the 43 look very similar but one is a couple of mill smaller the vx32E.  Also the canon pinion heights differ attached tech sheets for 7N22. And  VX43, check details on the sheets. 7N22A_29A_33A_42A_43A.pdf VX43.pdf Hattori VX32E - Specification.pdf Hattori VX32E - Disassemble.pdf

      I was spitting out flowers and leaves for 10 minutes,  fortunately 3  people saw it and promptly whipped out their phones to film the quick " nothing to see here " recovery  🤣🤣
