Hi everyone,

I know I haven't been here in a fair while. Life got in the way of a few things.

Anyway, I was looking at buying some of these tools as I have read some decent reports about them. I can't get them in Australia and even though they are made on Korea, the only place that I can find that sells them is in the US. I can't get them from their website. Have to go through their eBay website.

Anyway $212 dollars worth of tools and getting charged international freight on every item individually. Postage is working out at half the price of the tools. I have written to the store owner to ask why  and whether I should only be charged one smaller fee as I am getting everything at the same time.

Thing is, it looks like the freight is an eBay thing and not the store owner, so there may be nothing I can do about it.

I'll wait to hear from the store owner and decide what to do after that.

That is my plan Richard as no-one in Australia appears to carry Timelab tools. I bought three based on another article I found online re these screwdrivers and it said the same thing about Bergeon replacement blades. I know I can get those here in Melbourne.

      Deciphering mainspring specifications…

      DIY centre seconds support base

      By HectorLooi · Posted

      I've been contemplating getting one of these for some time now, after working on a few spring loaded centre seconds pinion movements. It's not an absolutely necessary tool to have, hence the procrastination.  Then it hit me, all I need is a flat base with a screw in it. So I scrounged around for something suitable and ended up with this. This is some rubber thingy that is  supposed to stop furniture with casters from moving around. In fact, any flat material with sufficient thickness to hold the screw in the centre would do.

      I think your axes are mislabelled here. They need switching around.

      Rolex 3130/3135 Automatic winding issue

      By Roll1ex · Posted

      @Knebo Thank you for the detailed response and reminding me. I went back and introduced myself. That's really good information, for 15xx it should be similar. Will dig deeper into that.   Yes I mean that. Attaching some pictures. New to shooting through a loupe so pardon the quality. I don't quite get the strength point, could you elaborate? Seeing the punch used for the job, it should limit the highest point of the metal being pushed, Maybe a worn out punch?       I haven't checked the axle will do that, but thee watchmaker told me that the 9'o clock side has been over-polished and the caseback is sinking on that side which is causing the issue. Armed with this knowledge, I will investigate both. The Picture would certainly suggest that plus the Intense pitting (wrist perfuming habit of my family) might be contributing to how the caseback fits.      Thank you again, I have made a checklist and will be investigating all the points you mentioned.   Rolex told me that they will replace the dial and bracelet so I didn't go that route. Its an independent watchmaker, and a very well reputed one in online and offline collector circles. I have seen his work and got work done from him before, this is the first time something like this is coming up. Maybe he is getting lazy in sourcing good parts. lol.
