Hi,

In one of my recent 'lucky bag' purchases I got this, which I think might be a jasper burnisher. As you can see it arrived broken - I can hardly complain as the whole lot of bits and pieces only cost me a few quid and there are some good items. I am trying to figure out exactly how this is fixed into the holder, if I can get the (presumably) smaller broken part out I may be able to use with the larger piece inserted. I have tried scratching the infill material holding the broken piece in and it has the texture of something like hard plaster. Any ideas/look familiar to anybody? Thanks

Stephen

      Hello from the Philadelphia area

      By Rocco · Posted

      Hello, looking forward to participating on the forum here! I will mostly be listening and asking questions since I am an amateur hobbyist. I have most of the beginner hand tools and a Timegrapher. The extent of my tinkering consists of a successful Seiko 7S26 to NH36 movement swap inside an all original 1997 SKX007, along with a bunch of battery changes for friends and family. I have yet to tackle full disassembly and cleaning. Right now, I don't really have the budget or time to invest in a cleaning setup (even manual cleaning), but hopefully soon! I joined because I recently purchased a mechanical Timex Camper from 1994, and my searches for information regarding servicing and swapping out these Timex mechanical movements consistently led me to Watch Repair Talk. There is also a wealth of knowledge here about dial design, another area of interest for me. My other hobbies includes leather working (mostly small pieces, shoes eventually), crochet, sewing (would love to make clothing), design (especially type design), home espresso, cocktails, and tennis. I want to buy a film camera, but I don't need yet another expensive hobby involving last-century technology. Yes, I have ADHD.
