Hello folks, my name is Jaime (female) and I live in Galveston, Texas. I'm new-ish to the interest of quality watches and the basic repair and identification of authentic vs counterfeit watches. I hope to learn and gain experience while being a member of this platform. I promise any knowledge that I have or constructive suggestions will be shared. I love to learn and I love to educate others. I'm grateful to have found my interest in watches completely accidentally, stemming from another interest of mine, which is jewelry, both real and fashion or costume jewelry.

I bid on a 50 pound box of donated jewelry and upon receiving it, I found there were some watches contained within. Not recognizing any brands, as the only brand I was even aware of at that time was Rolex, and maybe Fossil, Timex, and other department store brands. So research is what I did.

 

Within the box I discovered a ladies Mido, a Movado museum watch, an Android (not the smart watch, this is analog) and three Citizen and a Fabrigé.

I'll quit chattering now. I hope that I've found the right people!

      Omega Split stem issue (will not go back in)

      By Rustinbox · Posted

      Bringing this old thread back to life, as I have similar problem. I did follow this advice, but while inserting a male stem (crown side) and just pushed it to the female part, and the fork (female side) of the stem has broken. What is the right way? Push the stem part so it widens the gap and fits in? Why it was then receiving side got broken? Old metal? It is a vintage watch from late 60s.    or the outer part should be inserted somehow from the side (slipping to the gap), but I don’t have space there for this manipulation. The watch is Orient Fineness monocoque case.   thank you!

      Winding pinion making

      Thats insane Nev that you cut those tiny pinion teeth with a cutter you designed and made.

      I certainly do Razz. Ive just started work on this AS554, interestingly enough it had a paper dial made from a postcard , look at the brand name on the dial, very curious.

      Generic screws for unknown movements

      By Neverenoughwatches · Posted

      Yep, so we got a 10 1/2  ligne movement, thats the starting point now these bad boys books should hopefully get us across the finishing line . Next we need a good clear picture of that rocking bar, the setting lever and the setting lever spring. I've already got an idea what it might be.
