I'm a computer programmer who's always had an interest in watch collecting, but I've recently taken up repairing vintage watches after enough Wristwatch Revival episodes.

Oddly enough, I've been working my way through the WatchFIX courses, but never came by here.  Google led me here when looking for a solution for a weak balance wheel movement on a Timex M24 that I just reassembled.

Actually, I have a question to start things off... in the following comment, watchweasol mentions "I assume that you have the service manual for the watch,  If not go to  'google drive'   they are all on there"... I can't seem to find anything in any of the menus for Google Drive.  Any ideas on where I could find these?  - Thanks

      Balance cock stud screw

      By Neverenoughwatches · Posted

      As Richard said, this is a really old school trick for joinery.  Cut i strip of paper, might need to be watch paper  around 1 " x 1/2" lay it over a staking block then press the stud screw into and through the edge of the paper upto the head of the screw. You probably wont even need to pull the paper away the head will pull itself through.

      Waltham 6/0 d winding stem

      By ooteenie · Posted

      Hello,  i am looking to source a winding stem (winding arbor) for a waltham 6/0 d movement. I have found some that claim to fit 6/0, 6/0s, 6/0b etc and somealso claim they will also fit the d as well. The d does have hacking which is driven by the stem seating completely. Given some of the costs of these, i was hoping someone would know of any interchangeability with a source, or know a source where a confirmed 6/0 d stem can be had. I am in the US so a US dealer is best.    thanks in advance.

      So great to see and hear- your mum looks great! …my mil had a stroke last summer in the golf course parking lot. I’m flying out tomorrow to visit and play golf. she’s ornery because she can’t get off the tee but I hear she makes up for it on the greens since she’s been putting since a week after her stroke 🧐…
