hello everyone! im new to this forum. i never really used forums before so its a bit new and exciting at the same time. i will be posting my questions and topics later on but in the mean time ill tell a bit about myself.

 

i am a 18 year old guy with a OBSESSION of watch collecting. ive grown up around watches and always had a love and passion for them. ive collected many over the years and will show my collection some time soon. i dont have any "high end luxury" brands like rolex, omega, etc but to me its not always about the brand but simply how the watch looks and some of their features. i have around 20 or 30 so watches all including brands like citizen, seiko, fossil, bulova, and a few others. not the most luxurious but they get the job done and still look incredible. 

 

thanks for stopping by to read all that haha hope you all can help me through my journey of the watch world and hope i can share and receive much knowledge from this community.

      Well Gentlemen and Ladies I think we should thank @Mark for his posts putting our minds to rest and the explanation of running the site which is done very well. As a resource for watch repairs for new and old I would rate it second to none, the casual banter and dissemination of information  top notch, let us ll enjoy working on here and helping others. Any one can PM me as Iam sure others as well if it has to off the “record” and Marks blessing on that.   We appreciate that Mark is a busy man and totally appreciate what he does for us all.    So from me THANK YOU MARK. from an old timer.

      Dial Dots

      By watchweasol · Posted

      Hi it depends on the watch. The ones with the day date complications  dial dots are not really any good as you have difficulty getting the clearance between day date wheels a the dial.  Dial feet can be fitted no problem, there are several options, the cheapest is to mill out where the foot is and glue a new foot on. ( available fron Cousins UK ) mterialhouse . Or solder on a new foot, only problem with that is you need great care not to mark the dial. I use a DIY. Dial foot machine works no problem.

      If everything is inside them, then once restored and keeping time the oris could be worth 20 -30 each, I've paid a lot more Oris date pointers in the past. Bought this last week for a quid at a carboot sale. A cute little Smiths made in England alarm clock. The alarm didn’t function properly because the movement wasn't fastened in. But it runs perfectly now, the previous made a bit of a mess of the dial but i still love it. For the Smiths lovers here's  a picture of the inside before i case it up again. Still with it the original Jewellers box.

      Seiko 7N22-7028 Movement Identification

      By watchweasol · Posted

      The canon  pinion height must match the one you are removing, the physical size of the movement if it’s the same as the one removed should fit ok. The bogey hole is the height  to maintain clearance from the crystal

      Mainspring winder question.

      By Bonefixer · Posted

      I’ve come across this sort of problem. The Bergeon universal winders aren’t always universal.    Options are: Track down a movement specific winder Hand wind it Buy a new mainspring - probably the best option in my view.    I’ve been thinking how to invent a winder that uses the actual barrel arbor. Haven’t done it yet…
