Hi everyone! I'm just getting into watch servicing/restoration as a hobby, and it's a lot of fun! As you can tell from the name and the title, I also love the LeCoultre Futurematics. They are absolutely my favorite watch, and I love the complex and finicky movement. 

I am also making a website to provide info/resources/documentation on that specific model of watch. It's not up yet, but it's located at futurematic.com. If any of you guys have any good info on these watches I'd love to have it to contribute to the database! I will be a free resource to help others who appreciate that model.

I look forward to hanging around more!

Hey Futurematic, just signed up myself today.  That's an interesting watch for sure.  If you need any help setting up your website, give me a PM (I can't even post yet so I'm assuming there is a PM function here...) and I'll help;  I'm a part time web designer.

      Chinese clone demagnetizers

      By Levine98 · Posted

      My $12 blue one seems to work well enough for movements out of case. However for  tools with greater mass, such as my small and large anvils which are highly magnetized the blue unit is useless.   For whatever reason, my high current K&D donut unit just doesn’t seem to work, regardless of my attempts to use it as instructed in this thread (magnetizes stuff fine so I know it is energized).

      PUW1563 is the day/date version of the 1561 (date only). I have just measured a 1561 using the old "blob of paint on the rim" technique to determine the actual amplitude by observation, and then putting it on my TG and adjusting the TG lift angle until the displayed amplitude matches the observed amplitude. I get 48°. Not a million miles away but it will have overstated the amplitude by about 20° with the TG set to 52° (I tried that as well for completeness). So with a more appropriate lift angle set on your TG you would have got an amplitude reading of about 240°.

      Ok maybe that's the case - I was following this recommendation from: https://watchrepairtutorials.com/ultrasonic-watch-cleaner-how-to-get-great-results/ Here it is described to do the wash at 137 deg-F, which is 58 deg-C and he tested Elma Red with the described cleaning routine (10min wash, 5min rinse distilled water, 2min rinse 99% IPA).

      Citizen Technical Info

      By Chief · Posted

      My dad has a Citizen Pro master Wingman with a C720 movement in it. He took it to Timpsons for a battery replacement and the guy in the shop said he can't guarantee it will still be waterproof. Anyway it turns out it's not waterproof and now it's full of water. Would anyone know where I could find a technical sheet for this movement? I've tried looking online a bit today but can't find anything!   Thanks in advance

      Regulating an F6922 without a timegrapher

      By Neverenoughwatches · Posted

      You would at least need to poise through those positions before regulating.
