Hello, I'm Rick.

For a some time I've been watching watch servicing and repairs.
Really like the pace of it, it doesn't seem so hectic as many things in life.

So far I've services a few eBay watches, mainly Seikos.
It's going okay-ish so far.
So much still to learn, but that's part of the fun.

Luckily most of the time this hobby is as relaxing as I hoped it would be.
Most of the time, until something goes flying off

  Thanks. That'll get me started. I'm taking a look on Ali now. And thanks Mike. Pardon my ignorance, but this is all very new for me. I doubt that I've used a microscope since I was at school (and rarely then), so not in this century, and not fresh in my memory. But let's just say the forum propaganda has been very effective on the value of a microscope, and with the costs to get myself started on this, I may even put the timegrapher behind the microscope in the queue. It should only be a month or so later, anyway, but I can't do it all at once.

  Sorry my mistake - I didn't mean 10X. The minimum zoom with 0.5X Barlow is 3.5X, and max is 22.5X. The following is from the Amscope manual. The "normal" eyepieces are 10X/20, to give a working distance of 165mm and FOV of 57mm at 3.5X and 9mm at 22.5X. Occasionally I need higher magnification to look at a jewel or pivot. Rather than taking the Barlow off, I bought some 20X/10 eyepieces - much quicker to change than the Barlow, and you end up with the same magnification (though the image is darker).
