Well, I thought I'd take advantage of Mark's comfy new lounge, settle into a chair, and introduce my own website:

 

http://www.willflyguitar.com/

 

I've been playing for 50 years and music is a major part of my life - when it's not watches, of course! So, if you play music, or just like music, you might find something to interest you -and it's all free!

 

I'm sure you've also noticed, from Mark's earlier videos, that he plays some very nice piano - anyone else strum, blow, pick, bang...? :rock:

Nice one Will.

 

I actually cracked out my guitars this week as my son said he wanted to learn. So I was teaching him a few things and at the same time trying not to let on that my fingers were in pain lol. I haven't played for over a year and so the leather that used to be my finger tips is now baby soft.

 

Still it was good to play again - I missed it.

 

A friend of mine has invited me to accompany him to a song writers evening in Grimsby this Monday so I am looking forward to that.

 

BTW - I watched your latest vid last night and loved it - well done. For anybody who has not seen Wills Youtube channel yet, check it out as he really is amazing: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCPG3dUiZm8-2ZSSq5YfqSPA

Thats a very interesting website Will and it's good of you to take the trouble to pass on what you have learnt,  much easier to learn from an expert, than the hard way.

 

Not having any musical ability myself, I am in awe of people who do.  I still entertain hopes of becoming a drummer (even though I do not own a drum kit) and dream of becoming the next Don Henley. Anyone willing to offer free or very cheap lessons in North Wales please get in touch.

Excellent - how old is your son, by the way? I didn't start playing until I was 20 - so the younger the better.

Excellent website Will.

I retired in September last year and bought myself a six string guitar, so apart from refurbishing watches, I have been attempting to learn how to play Blues. Up to now I have had more success with the watches, but I am slowly getting there with the guitar. I'll definitely be visiting your website now that I know it exists.

Hi Geo - lots of blues instruction videos on my YouTube channel.

      AS2063 - hand setting

      By Bonefixer · Posted

      Thanks everyone for your helpful replies. I think between us we’ve worked out what’s going on. Next job is to have a proper look at this great wheel assembly, see if I can remove the clip and the friction fit pinion, give the bits a good clean, then put it back together with a bit of blue grease. I’ll also get the pallet fork under the microscope to see if it’s ok or been damaged.

      The cannon pinion (be it conventional style or what you see in this movement) should slip on its arbour so the hands can be set independently without affecting the gear train.  If there is too much friction between the cannon pinion and the second wheel, turning the hands to set them backwards can sometimes force the escape wheel teeth to overrun the pallet stones, creating the behaviour you describe. The train is running in reverse when this happens.  This can often chip the pallet stones. I’d say at least half of the watches I’ve inspected with very tight cannon pinions had chipped pallet stones. Hopefully this isn’t the case with your watch.  I’m not familiar with this movement but you need to get the friction in the cannon pinion adjusted correctly.  Hope this helps, Mark

      Pallet fork was in. I’d had the movement running ok, and only removed the balance to flip it over and install the keyless works and date mechanism. The pallet fork wasn’t locking the gear train when hand setting - it was oscillating as the escape wheel rotated. This may have been in one direction only - can’t remember.
