Hello From Louisiana!

Recommended Posts

Just wanted to say hello and introduce myself.

I'm a full time watchmaker from south Louisiana. I've been working on watches for about 10yrs now. Im very fortunate that I get to see and repair a wide variety of watches daily, and have been able to receive some great training over the years.

I mostly enjoy working on vintage pieces, but also love the newer more precise movements we have today.

When I'm not working on watches I enjoy competing in a variety of cooking competitions.

I look forward to reading and participating in this forum.

A warm welcome to the forum and thank you for an informative introduction Jarren. This is a very friendly place, with active watch repairers working at all levels, from raw amateurs to consummate professionals. I'm very much looking forward to your future input.

PS

Feel free to post some of your cooking creations in the WRT lounge, there are a few on here with culinary skills that will be interested!

    • Welcome to the forum, enjoy. I have a varimatic that went  of sequence because it’s hydronic oil ran very low. Must admit it’s still in my garage just know time to fix it. Purchased a cheap Indian Junta/ sonic Pearl as a stop gap a few years Avon and it still performs perfectly so no incentive to fix the Varimatic. 
    • The plate is OK, thanks. It seems the answer to my question is that this is a 'hack' & for me another reminder that in general, one won't be the first person to be tinkering with an old timepiece!. As you day, I've been fortunate to have gotten some good advice and, just as important, encouragement. I've been lucky then not to have the balance spring break as a result of my novice 'ministrations' - but I did remember to 'stroke' rather than bend per se. The clock is of sentimental value to the owner so I'm relieved to have now got it running to time with the support & encourage of forum members like yourself.
    • Recently purchased a L&R Varimatic knowing that the piston does not fully rise in the cylinder. The likely cause is air in the system. The manual calls for using a bleeder cup, which is as rare as hen's teeth.Does anyone have any experience with this issue and if so, how did they resolve it?
    • Thanks ww, its maybe not as much of a bodge trick that i thought it was. 
    • Thank you for your introduction and welcome to this friendly forum. We all look forward to your contributions and continued involvement.  It would be nice if you told us a little about yourself.
