I'm a long time watch lover who, after receiving yet another large bill for a watch service, decided to look into doing it myself... and here I am, all the way down the rabbit hole with my own watch station in my garden workshop, a parts bin full of micro-controllers and IoT equipment (my previous hobby) and an hour wheel on the way from Ebay after discovering my 4697 doesn't get sold with one...   Still... my NH35 will be here soon enough and my journey will begin properly! 🙂  looking forward to learning all I can !

It could have been the $600 service charge for my recently serviced IWC that prompted me as I wasn't anxious to spend that much again on the Zenith. Thought maybe I'd tackle the Zenith myself. I still have a long way to go before I'd feel safe undertaking the Zenith.

Welcome to the forum!

When you have some interesting things to show us please don't hesitate.

Any Silicon Labs micros?

Welcome to the forum.  You will find electronic enthusiasts here as well...useful for the quartz realm.

Hey, unfortunately no.  I've got a bunch of ESP32's and 8266's though 🙂

      Rolex 2235 escape wheel jewel setting replacement

      By noirrac1j · Posted

      Hell0 @nevenbekriev. Thank you for your advice. I have removed the old setting using my staking set--I will keep the KIF spring, since it is still good.  I am awaiting the replacement setting, and will update when I do that. In the mean time, I looked at the escape wheel and it looks ok. What do you think?

      Seitz Tool - Help determine if Seitz or not

      By Hawaiikook808 · Posted

      Aloha All, I recently bought this Seitz tool on eBay, but it is missing some pushers reamers.  I ended up ordering new parts for those that were missing before I received the actual Seitz tool (bad idea).   Upon inspecting the pushers/bits, I noticed 23 of the 56 provided with the set had no numbers. Further inspection revealed a huge difference in the quality of those unnumbered.  Do all Seitz pushers/bits have a number on them?  I'm pretty sure that 33 of the 56 I received are cheap Chinese knockoffs.  The worst part is that I ordered $80 of parts to replace the missing pushers/bits, and now I'm looking to return the tool. I'm not crazy, right? If these are Seitz parts, they should all be numbered, correct? The first two pictures are the Seitz (numbered), and the other pictures are the suspect parts.  Will I even be able to get a refund?  Thanks, Frank

      Generic screws for unknown movements

      By Geotex · Posted

      Chief- The picture below shows the three parts from the dial side that are most useful to "fingerprint" a movement in conjunction with the diameter of the movement.  That's why forum participants are always asking for dial side photos in posts asking for identification.  As far as the setting lever screw, it actually sits loose in the main plate. The threads engage the setting lever below, and the elongated stem above the shoulder sticks through a hole in one of the bridge plates so that it's held captive if unscrewed all the way.  So you may be fine as far as that goes.

      So I found what I believe is the setting lever screw! Am I right in thinking the screw next to the click is the correct one for the setting lever? However if it is, it doesn't fit in the hole which I believe is for it! I can get the lever to sit nicely on the stem and line up with a hole, but the screw only goes as far as the shoulder and stops. It's as though the hole is too small! The dial side has been disassembled by the way, the other wheels are in my tray
