Hello, it all started simply, I wanted to get a caseback for my  husband's Swiss Army watch because I scratched the case trying to replace the battery... down the rabbit hole 6 months later. I'm still at "the replace band, battery, stem , clean and polish" stage but having a blast.  Love watching the deep dive clean and repair videos.  Hope to be there by winter.  I have a question about square gaskets. Do they exist?... or am I looking for a left handed hammer? Thanks for the community.

Thank you. Having fun on the other side of the tracks.

 

Thanks for the kind welcome. My little brother graduated from Standford Law back in the 80's. I'm cleaning up a old Sears and Roebuck Orvin watch for him. Looks like something my stepfather wore back in the 70's. Everyone had one.

      Thank you for your introduction and welcome to this friendly forum. We all look forward to your contributions and continued involvement.  Was your great Uncle a clock maker to the Royals or did he work for a company? What was his name?

      I can remember in the army, doing a tactical night march and the officer leading the march had the bright ide of taping his compass (with tritium tipped hands) to the end of the barrel of his rifle so he could get a better bearing in the dark. We ran around in circles for hours until he realized that the compass was reacting to the steel of the rifle barrel. To say he was unpopular was a bit of an understatement.

      I bought a compass to detect magnetism. The magnetic tip reacted to both magenetised and non magnetised basic steel so it became a guessing game as to whether my test subject was either weakly magnetised or dense steel. I've found the best way to detect magnetism is by using the smallest unmagnetised screw and a known piece of unmagnetised steel to test the screw and another piece of known unmagnetised steel to test the first known piece of unmagnetised and another....................... 😂

      Ha ha, reminds me of this: "Don't go puttin' none of that stuff on my sled, Clark. You know that metal plate in my head? I had to have it replaced, cause every time Catherine revved up the microwave I'd pi$$ my pants and forget who I was for a half hour or so. So over at the VA they had to replace it with plastic."
