Caught the 'ol tool bug lately and will show my recent pickups but wanted to show this old school gap or "feeler" Guage as we use to call them and a "tackle box" type tool box. The Guage is a craftsman and I have read on this forum that this could be useful for a shim or keyless work part, etc. The tool box is a machinist Kennedy box.

just a buck on the guage or is it gage?

here is the box

  I would suspect it to keep the oil from spreading as much as it otherwise would w/o epilame, even when subjected to rubbing by another part, such as the escape wheel teeth rubbing on the impulse face of the pallet jewels.

  I think it should be between the red and black. Couple of things to take into consideration, the spring could be set affecting the power reserve or a shorter spring with will have the same effect.

  I think that a 814/825 stem would work, there are a lot of compatible parts between these.

  Hi everyone, I put together a Venus 178 recently, but found that the hour counter "creeps" ie. runs when the chrono is disengaged. This is the similar type of setup as the Omega 861, where the hour counter is driven off the mainspring barrel, but stopped when the chrono is disengaged by a friction spring. Am I correct in assuming that the friction spring for the hour counter driving pinion should be dry? I am guessing that the issue will be either the spring or the driving pinion, but while the driving pinion has some wear the spring looks decent. I've attached a couple of photos in case anyone has any tips. Thanks in advance!

  Thanks everyone for the replies. It seems setting the hand is a bit of a guessing game, and I thought there would be a very specific way to do it. Since the reserve indicator hand moves clockwise as the spring is wound, I tried setting it right at the start of the black side. But setting it there doesn't really make sense, because by the time the spring is halfway wound, the hand is only at the end of the red side... In my head halfway wound shouldn't mean the hand is still "in the red."
