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.

      First Project Already A Bit "Sideways"

      By Waggy · Posted

      Here is another option, if you have the patience to sort through the parts you usually find 50-100 screws as well as some other cool stuff. Most times I get an order from these guys I get a 250g box, takes a few days, but end up with hundreds of spares and all you need is for one of them to be useful and it pays for itself. Also helps hone your tweezer skills!

      Can you soften the squeeze on a tweezer?

      As Hector said they have too much  tension, that tension is also fixed and not easy to control. Conventional tweezers have infinitely variable grip provided by us.

      Thank you and i appreciate that, it looks very different    Thank you sir but i think there is a little problem according to that reading it's because it is far different to the other move that i serviced, i will atouched the photo. They are different movements but this one is 7s26b movement and they are also different in shape when it comes to the ballance assmebly. Thanks also for the concerned i appreciate that.

      My first Gruens. Precision 510 and N510R movements.

      Donor movement showed up, so I stole the bridge screw from it. Which made me sad, because it's in such nice shape! It seems a shame. Maybe I'll find a use for it one of these days. Unfortunately, the stem is for a different style of case and is much too short. Fortunately, I ordered a brand new stem from McCaw Company. Unfortunately, the crown on the donor movement is thoroughly stripped out (it unscrewed in a shower of brass) so i just put the old stem back in for now until I source a new crown. As you can see, it's just a little too long for this case. Overall I'm super pleased. I didn't think I'd like the bracelet, and even that is growing on me.   Anyone have a favorite crown assortment?

      Vertex Dirty Dozen crystal

      By rehajm · Posted

      A couple of pictures of the front… Sorry, I’m months away from this one, but…there is an edge to the bezel but I see no obvious signs of previous bezel removal and it is quite thick so it would be difficult to grab an edge on the crystal with a crystal lift. It does look like in/out thru the back…good luck…
