Hi to everyone here.  I've just joined here because I'm a not too serious hobbyist who seems to be drifting around like a ship without a rudder trying to make progress on a couple of 'projects'.    I have a few watches in a varying state of disrepair ,plus a couple of fully functional favourites, mainly Seiko and in the 'economy' range so nothing to write home about. I'm very much a novice at watch-repair, and I am finding it a bit of a struggle, so I 'll probably be making a nuisance of myself here so apologies in advance. Good to be in touch, and looking forward to catching-up on all the older posts.      best wishes to you all,   daveT

Welcome Dave!

I found that taking Mark's online courses seemed to give me direction for a while and I learned stuff in the bargain!

I believe that most here are still relatively new at the craft. There are some very experienced pros here so at least we have some proper guidance.

      First Project Already A Bit "Sideways"

      By Waggy · Posted

      Here is another option, if you have the patience to sort through the parts you usually find 50-100 screws as well as some other cool stuff. Most times I get an order from these guys I get a 250g box, takes a few days, but end up with hundreds of spares and all you need is for one of them to be useful and it pays for itself. Also helps hone your tweezer skills!

      Can you soften the squeeze on a tweezer?

      As Hector said they have too much  tension, that tension is also fixed and not easy to control. Conventional tweezers have infinitely variable grip provided by us.

      Thank you and i appreciate that, it looks very different    Thank you sir but i think there is a little problem according to that reading it's because it is far different to the other move that i serviced, i will atouched the photo. They are different movements but this one is 7s26b movement and they are also different in shape when it comes to the ballance assmebly. Thanks also for the concerned i appreciate that.

      My first Gruens. Precision 510 and N510R movements.

      Donor movement showed up, so I stole the bridge screw from it. Which made me sad, because it's in such nice shape! It seems a shame. Maybe I'll find a use for it one of these days. Unfortunately, the stem is for a different style of case and is much too short. Fortunately, I ordered a brand new stem from McCaw Company. Unfortunately, the crown on the donor movement is thoroughly stripped out (it unscrewed in a shower of brass) so i just put the old stem back in for now until I source a new crown. As you can see, it's just a little too long for this case. Overall I'm super pleased. I didn't think I'd like the bracelet, and even that is growing on me.   Anyone have a favorite crown assortment?

      Vertex Dirty Dozen crystal

      By rehajm · Posted

      A couple of pictures of the front… Sorry, I’m months away from this one, but…there is an edge to the bezel but I see no obvious signs of previous bezel removal and it is quite thick so it would be difficult to grab an edge on the crystal with a crystal lift. It does look like in/out thru the back…good luck…
