Hello!

 

Greetings one & all, My name is Lee & having followed the watch repair channel on youtube I found the site! I have a small cobblers shop which like so many found myself fitting batteries (Like we do!) HOWEVER...... I've progressed! :D

 

I am 100% confident on quartz & cases having done all sorts over the past few years & have developed a nice trade based service, doing repairs for other cobblers & have just begun doing work for a local jeweler. I've dabbled with odd repairs to mechanical watches & have just started servicing them, all be it at a basic level (not about to be doing a daytona!) but am totally gripped & feel I'm progressing at a fast rate.

 

I hope I can help with some of the basic questions on the site & be rewarded with information & help as I progress up the mountain.

I run a forum myself & we have a watch section but its little used & mainly geared to batteries. I've read heaps of forums on watches but liked this one because of its ties to the watchrepairguy (don't know any names yet) I've found there are two schools of thought via the internet. those who love themselves so much they actually give little help & those who find work & custom BECAUSE they help others. I "think" I'm in the second camp. This forum seemed to be the right size & have the right people for me!

 

Thanks for the welcomes so far!

      Accutron 218 transistors

      Update: I posted over on NAWCC and it looks like I melted the fine coil wires where they come into the solder lugs. After dropping the heat way down on my iron and being absurdly careful, I have a humming fork!

      Rolex 2235 escape wheel jewel setting replacement

      By noirrac1j · Posted

      Hell0 @nevenbekriev. Thank you for your advice. I have removed the old setting using my staking set--I will keep the KIF spring, since it is still good.  I am awaiting the replacement setting, and will update when I do that. In the mean time, I looked at the escape wheel and it looks ok. What do you think?

      Seitz Tool - Help determine if Seitz or not

      By Hawaiikook808 · Posted

      Aloha All, I recently bought this Seitz tool on eBay, but it is missing some pushers reamers.  I ended up ordering new parts for those that were missing before I received the actual Seitz tool (bad idea).   Upon inspecting the pushers/bits, I noticed 23 of the 56 provided with the set had no numbers. Further inspection revealed a huge difference in the quality of those unnumbered.  Do all Seitz pushers/bits have a number on them?  I'm pretty sure that 33 of the 56 I received are cheap Chinese knockoffs.  The worst part is that I ordered $80 of parts to replace the missing pushers/bits, and now I'm looking to return the tool. I'm not crazy, right? If these are Seitz parts, they should all be numbered, correct? The first two pictures are the Seitz (numbered), and the other pictures are the suspect parts.  Will I even be able to get a refund?  Thanks, Frank

      Generic screws for unknown movements

      By Geotex · Posted

      Chief- The picture below shows the three parts from the dial side that are most useful to "fingerprint" a movement in conjunction with the diameter of the movement.  That's why forum participants are always asking for dial side photos in posts asking for identification.  As far as the setting lever screw, it actually sits loose in the main plate. The threads engage the setting lever below, and the elongated stem above the shoulder sticks through a hole in one of the bridge plates so that it's held captive if unscrewed all the way.  So you may be fine as far as that goes.
