Been watching a bunch of wristwatch revival videos, and have always been fascinated with the idea of restoring old watches for personal use or potentially sale. I don't have too many watches at the moment, but was very satisfied to finally manage to get a hold of one of the Moonswatches at a not too exhorbitant price. I also picked up one of the kits from DIY Watch Club and will be assembling that this weekend, probably tomorrow, which came with some basic tools.

Looking forward to learning more and hopefully contributing to the community.

Cheers,

- ZJ

      Blew it with a coil

      By Kkramme · Posted

      Unfortunately after much investigation, apparently the coil has been discontinued! Shall I get my service guy to try the solder or the conductive paint? 🎨 Final recommendation please🙏

      Eta 2970-1 rotor mount stops watch

      By Dmitry · Posted

      Here are the pics of the bridge. Looks correct, but as soon as I screw on the rotor, the watch stops. Video here: https://1drv.ms/v/s!ArG5E62RGctxjokY5ws85BzuJLVakA   Pics. Might have figured it out. I have been working on this watch for a while and since I got it as a non runner in a terrible shape, there was no guarantee that parts were proper. I think the main screw that was used on the rotor was too long, so it was stopping the main train. As soon as I fished out a much shorter and larger headed screw, things were good again. Please celebrate with me.

      B-Dip residue?

      By KarlvonKoln · Posted

      One-dip or naphtha should be safe, but are you sure it isn't magnetized?  I would also check that.  Although, if that balance is from an Elgin 760 0r 761, I would think it would have a hairspring of non-magnetic alloy.

      Replacing armoured crystal in a front loading watch case…

      By Curare · Posted

      Hi John I just did a Seiko Lord-Matic a front loader without a split stem, I used a crystal lift to remove it, although I had to have it that tight I though I was going to break the lift before the crystal would budge. So I decided that the press would be a better option as I think crystals with tension rings resist a lot of compressing. I used a crystal press to repalce it and the bezel with no issues, obviuosly a different watch to the Omega. I just took my time and kept inspecting the installation progress bit by bit Regards CJ
