I joined the forum after reading for quite some time. I started servicing and repairing my watches since 2 years, after my initial hobby if servicing and repairing my antique French wall clocks. Watches are less bulky to collect (a few clocks per room just the from looking like a museum) and more fun, too. I am into vintage wrist watches Swiss, Seiko and Soviet dress style watches and into Jaeger Lecoultre small table clocks. In the meantime i picked up some knowledge and skill that I feel free to share.

Thank you for your introduction and welcome to this friendly forum.

We all look forward to your contributions and continued involvement. 

Clocks are my thing mostly from 1900 backwards.

      Hello from Bradford!

      Hello everyone. My name is Gary.  I’ve been hobby fixing for just a few months now and have turned out several Seiko 7009A, 6309 and 7s26 movements with varying success.  my first movement was a tiny Cyma 424. (In at the deep end for size).  I’m currently working on a sentimental Garret ETA 2391 for my Father in law.

      Thanks for all the replies.  I'll investigate further.  I never noticed the lip and @Michael1962, I think I will have to form a tool to undo the ring and see what happens. I'll see if I can get some more pics.

      Deciphering mainspring specifications…

      By nevenbekriev · Posted

      Hi John, The most important parameter of the spring is the thickness. The lenght is something that one would not consider as obligatory, as relatively big variations will not affect anything in significant way. The barrel size is related to the barrel and has nothing to do with the spring. Yes, the spring is designed to work in a barrel and the size of the barrel matters, but let this parameter be chosen by the movement manyfacturer, not by the sping manyfacturer who doesn't have idea in what kind of movement the spring will work. Sometimes the washer in which the spring arrives will be bigger than the barrel and there will be no way to just push the spring in the barrel and be happy. Well, if this is a problem for somebody, then probably He is a person with to many problems that will be verry hard to help to in any way. By the way, why You are changing the spring? Is the old one broken?
