Hi guys ive been trying since yesterday to access cousins uk website but all i get is a time out error or that the domain name needs to be renewed by owner ?

 

Anyone else having problems accessing the cousins site ?

 

 

Surely they would have kept up to date with their web info ?

Looks like they forgot to renew their domain name - happened to me before.

 

They obviously quickly renewed it but it takes time for global DNS to propagate and that is why some of you were seeing the site and others were seeing the Network Solutions parking page.

 

 

 

Domain Name: COUSINSUK.COM
Registrar: NETWORK SOLUTIONS, LLC.
Sponsoring Registrar IANA ID: 2
Whois Server: whois.networksolutions.com
Referral URL: http://networksolutions.com
Name Server: NS.RACKSPACE.COM
Name Server: NS2.RACKSPACE.COM
Status: clientTransferProhibited http://www.icann.org/epp#clientTransferProhibited
Updated Date: 21-jun-2015

 

What I don't understand is why they did not renew it for the full amount allowable - 10 years. Look - they only renewed it for one further year:

 

Expiration Date: 18-jun-2016

 

 

It's cheap as chips to renew domains these days - probably would have cost them about $80.

 

Watchrepairtalk.com won't be up for renewal until 2023 :P

      Vintage pocket watches from e-bay (winding stems needed)

      By Mallard · Posted

      Hi, I'm very new to watchmaking and this is my first time posting here.  I've bought a lot of 10 vintage pocket watches size 0s from e-bay and just got them today.  Most of the balance wheels sprung quite freely and thus seemed like a worthy endeavor as a first batch for exploration.  I've just realized that none of them have any winding stems. Is there any way I could source appropriate winding stems for the movements? There seems to be assortments of various stems selling in bulk on aliexpress, but would any of them fit?  I've read on other threads that some people lathe their own stems (which is waaaay out of my current skill set, which is pretty much nil). Others say that you 'just have to try a few and see if they fit'. I would much appreciate any advice for this matter. Thanks!

      Movement holder made with 3D printer

      By LittleWatchShop · Posted

      Nice work.  In the last year, I have been servicing Accutron 218s.  I have the official Accutron hoder that provides electrical contact to the movement.  It is a pretty clever design.  There is a cut in the ring of the holder (shaped like a "C").  When in relaxed state, the holder is slightly smaller than the watch movement.  You spread the cut slightly and drop the movement in and release.  Very clean.  I have made 3D versions of this setup.  Have not explored using it generally for other movements.

      Double Oooooo   Removal tool? Dreamed of one of these. However, Kalle on Chronoglide showed everyone my system with the pegwood. Worked a treat. Felt so chuffed to be mentioned. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tTFrXjiyGKc 46:40 for the wheel removal. Mentions me at 50:00 and does the removal with the pegwood. Felt like my 15 minutes of fame.

      Yes watchie , the indirect center seconds wheel. Also known as a sweep wheel remover.  If you zoom in to pullers you will see one plain bent puller and the other is split to bridge over one of the spokes. Cousins have been out of them for ages , they say the manufacturer for them for bergeon is no longer in business. Another company is supposed to be stepping in whenever that might be. The new ones dont look as well made as the vintage ones, but thats standard these days. I know you prefer the old swiss tools anyway.
