two!!

Yes I would agree that's why have two of them. Although my reason was actually that one of these surplus electronics stores a very long time ago when actually existed in physical forms locally. His liquidating one of the watch companies with the LCD modules and I got the press for practically nothing but nothing to push just the press. The other thing they were selling it was interesting day I managed to pick up the waterproof case opener similar type constructions is probably the same manufacture. The store was just swamped with people because the electronics people didn't grasp the value of the watch repair tools.

Then it won't be for several years until I met a nawcc regional meeting where I see one for $20 but none of the accessories how sad? So I walk away but I walked back and ask and all of them were in the box underneath. Always important to ask if you don't see something is maybe it's lurking. In the old days where the regional meetings people and have stuff and eBay hasn't influenced the prices yet. The same seller had the plastic box with the meter and all of the tuning fork accessories for Bulova I'll skip over the price of that it was really good at. It's amazing all the wonderful tools that I purchased at the regional meeting over the years at least until eBay came.

But the asses always nice to have more than one just in case something undesirable happens. Which probably never will a few have two of them will only happen if you have one of them.

      Interesting interpretation of "traditional". I would say that Loctite is definitely the up-to-date and appropriate stuff to use, however, it is a relatively modern solution. Before the advent of such esoteric solutions I believe that the "traditional" thread locker of choice may well have been a sugar solution. Once applied the water would evaporate and the sugar would crystalise, locking the threads tight.

      @steve1811uk close but no cigar 🙂 I don't smoke anyway. I checked in my stock of parts and that's the closest I got to your dimensions. Good luck in your search. @RichardHarris123 I have an accumulation of all sorts of odds and ends that I acquired as a result of buying up the tail ends of old watchmakers estates. Usually after all of the great stuff has been stripped out, which means that the sweepings off of the workshop floor can be had for peanuts, but if you have the patience, can often be found to contain gold (both literally and figuratively 🙂 ). These came to me through on of those purchases. I doubt that I will personally be able to make use of even 10% of my accumulated stock, but having it, and knowing what I have, means that I can at least pass bits on to those who can use it whenever possible.

      Hi and thank-you for your suggestions, as per Mark's instructions I checked my browser "Safari" and spell check and grammar was not ticked. So all sorted. Thanks CJ

      As an alternative, clear nail Polish, the advantage is you can have a manicure at the same time.

      I use Grammarly. It works really well and If English is not your first language, you will also receive help with formulations. There is a free version that covers most of my needs. It installs as a plug-in and works with all browsers and word processors.
