Hello from Texas - I got into this as a hobby and recently have taken my boys through Mark’s excellent course. They have loved it. 

Welcome! Class of '77 here.

What part of Tx?

Welcome to the forum!

How old are your boys?

@LittleWatchShop is also in Texas. Folks are from all over and all are helpful.

Hey Gary!  Boys are 10 and 12. They’ve completed level 2 - taking apart a standard movement and putting it back together - on their own without help.  It’s a good way for us to bond before they have to leave home in a few years.

      Rolex 3135 rate variation with temperature

      By steve1811uk · Posted

      Looked into this some more and I believe that some of the increase in rate is attributable to the drop in amplitude after 12 hours off wrist, from 300 to 275 degrees horizontal and some is due to the lower temperature (38 to 18 degrees). I can see that approx 3 to 4 seconds a day is attributable to each. I can be happy with that.

      Link below shows the tool used to push the stud out. You can make the tool , just file a screwdriver to this shape.  https://www.esslinger.com/bergeon-16918-etachron-stud-remover-screwdriver/ There are vids on YouTube showing how the stud is to be  push out. Shouldn't get over creative, just go by this approach.  Good luck.

      Almost ready

      By Embezelled · Posted

      Hi all, I'm almost ready to make my first attempt at watch repair. My initial goals are very modest, just to get an inexpensive watch or two to work on, and take it at my own pace. I have what I think are the necessary tools on the way. A couple of things arrived already: a loupe, some tweezers, and a cheap demagnetizer. After looking at the options for oils and grease, I decided to start off with Citizen A-O2 and A-O3 oil, and Seiko S-3 grease. The Moebius was just too pricey to buy this early into the undertaking, when added to the cost of the other tools I've bought. Screwdrivers are Kwong Yuen for now, but I took the frequent advice on tweezers and bought Dumostar 3C and will probably add more DuMont later. I'm looking forward to making a start. I'll need a watch to work on, so I'm trying to line up an auction purchase within the next week. I've been mostly looking at Seiko and Citizen, and will perhaps a Seiko Crown if I can land one at a decent price.
