Hello everybody,

my name is Martin, I am 60 years young an live happily in Bonn, Germany. My search for help in the internet led me to this forum. I saw many helpful and friendly discussions and therefore decided to sign up. Not only to find answers to my questions, but of course to provide help for others. As I couldn't wait, I already posted a request before introducing me here. Please forgive me for that :).
I have seen collections, with many of the same watches, only in different colors (G-Shocks for example). That's not my goal. My watch collection is an attempt to get watches each with a special feature. So mechanical watches with hand winding or automatic, quartz watches with lcd or hands, with radio control and solar cell etc. One sort of watch seems to be completely forgotten now: A quartz watch with a fly wheel to load the accumulator. In my collections, it's a swatch autoquartz. I also had a Dugena with the same feature but a different (not long lasting) solution. When I tried to find informations at swatch.com, I found none! Personally, I find this more elegant than a solar cell, but it seems, I am the only one :).
My amateurish attempts, up to now brought me a destroyed Casio DB-62 😞 (the lcd) and a successfully swap of a Seiko 7s26 with a more modern NH36 🙂. So there is light and shadow, but I am not discouraged - yet. The DB-62 disaster was due to a bad advice (or bad execution by me) on youtube. I am sure, I will get better advice in this forum. I hope to talk to lots of you in the special sections. See you there.

Hallo Martin, willkommen in diesem erstklassigen Forum! 🙂

Vielen Dank für den freundlichen Empfang. Sieh an, man spricht deutsch! Wie schön, dann muss ich nicht immer mit denglisch daher kommen :). Obwohl, die Übersetzer-Software heutzutage ist ja derart perfekt, dass es kaum noch Sprachbarrieren gibt. Habe mich noch nicht so richtig umgesehen. Nehme mal an, es gibt es hier sowas wie ein Wörterbuch für die Fachbegriffe (Uhrwerk - Movement, etc.)?

Hey Martin

I just used some simple German words for your welcome knowing that they can be understand easily by the English speaking members, but in general we should speak English here. 😉

Hi Kalanag,

thank you very much for these informations. English is no problem for me (but only for those who read my texts 🙂). But with the provided glossary and pictures I will surely have no problems here in this nice forum. The support for my first request already was a great success (Citizen Crystron Solar Cell - How to access the dial). Without the support and encouragement, I would have already given up. Registering here was definitively the right decision and I surely will have a lot of fun here. 😄

 

 

 

Many thanks to everyone for this warm welcome. Knowing to have a community as a back for sometimes delicate operations, encourages me and makes me feel safe. Hope to give that back in the future.

      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?

      By Neverenoughwatches · Posted

      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.

      Hairsrping alignment

      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…
