Hello to all! I'm new to the forum 😁.

A bit about myself, I'm a marine engineer and ROV pilot, starting out the new hobby of watchmaking and so I've been buying pocket and vintage wrist watches to practice on and some just to add to my collection.

So! To my questions:

1. Identify this Omega pocket watch movement. 45mm across the dial, year I know is between 1912 to 1916. Photos attached.

2. Eljo make with Ancre 15 rubies movement 0.800 silver case. Eljo I think is a Swedish maker using Swiss movements but can't find much at all about it. Any information would be great. TIA. Matt.

Oh, forgot to say. I'm English living in Mallorca Spain and sometimes Stockholm Sweden to get away from the summer heat!😅

      What is this tool !

      By mikepilk · Posted

      I was pleased to pick up a selection of some tools on ebay (v cheap 🤣), and they've just arrived,  I've been looking for a crystal press for a while, and this one is ideal But in the selection is this thing - what is it for?  (it's about 3" long) Something to do with stem tubes?

      You'll have to strip it back anyway.

      Epilame / Fixodrop

      By Neverenoughwatches · Posted

      I think I've heard that more than from just Alex. That doesn't make it right though, but I'm convinced i saw some literature diagram explaining why to do that. There must be good info here in the archives, I'll have to have a dig around.

      That will mean dismantling the gear train, which with 5 pivots to align was a pain. Probably going to have to though. I'm convinced it's something to do with the great wheel.

      Epilame / Fixodrop

      By VWatchie · Posted

      As far as I know, the only time an epilame treatment has potential drawbacks is when something is rubbing on the treated part w/o lubrication in between creating abrasive dust. That is, I don't believe in the method of "running the watch to make a groove through it first in the pallet stones where the lubrication is then placed". So, I think the rule would be; do not epilame treat parts where rubbing is going on without lubrication. Other than that I don't think we have anything to worry about. That said, I'm not an expert, and I'm always happy to learn more. Has any other repairer than Alex suggested or explained the "making-a-groove" method? My impression is that it's just something he constructed in his mind. I have not perceived it as a generally practiced method. Again, I could be wrong!
