Thank you for the nice welcome! It took a couple days to come up with some decent pix; my SDHC card reader that I use to get images from my camera went bad last month, and the brand-new replacement from eBay was a bust. Fortunately, my laptop has a card slot. Notwithstanding my personal electronic issues, here's some of my watches. This is my first post here so please excuse any glaring errors. B)

 

1. Four on the floor: Triwa Falken (2015), A|X 1214 (2014), Universal Studios Superman (90's), Frederique Constant Electro Luminescence (2000's?).

 

2. Triwa Falken: it had to be done.

 

3. A|X: a gift from sister.

 

4. Superman: due for cosmetic fixes. Will be asking question concerning this soon.

 

5. Constant with no light.

 

6. Constant with light (example). It stays on for one second then goes off; this image is from the seller's site. Will be asking question concerning this soon.

 

7. Submariner (1989, example). Mine was inherited from my uncle on his passing; the original is in a safe deposit box at Wells Fargo. This image is from the Net somewhere, but we all know what they look like and mine is a blue one.

 

8. Pulsar Executive (1975). This is an eBay snipe: used, VG condition.

      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.
