      Greetings from California

      By DavidK · Posted

      Hi! My name is David and I work on watches as a hobby in retirement.  I got started about a year ago when I found a handful of broken watches in my late father’s belongings. It was an interesting mix of low to high end pieces, almost as if my father wanted to leave me an on-ramp to the hobby. I’ve worked on roughly a dozen so far, each a different movement and each with its own unique challenges. As a retired engineer, I enjoy building and fixing things so this is a great hobby for me.

      You need as a minimum what's called hand levers to remove them and a hand press of some sort to refit them. So the first thing to confirm is if the HQ505.6L is correct. Does yours have a date at the 6 o'clock position, any photos would help.

      Esape wheel moves to much

      Don't know of any watch repair shops, but HS Walsh have a shop in Hatton Garden. When in the West End I usually walk down New Bond Street, ogling in the windows at the very expensive watches 🤪 Also, if you haven't already been, the Science Museum now houses the collection from the "Worshipful Company of Clockmakers". Watches from 1600 to present. Some of those from the 1600s are incredible. Well worth a visit.

      Timex Merlin Crown will not Stay on Stem

      By arvanlaar · Posted

      Thanks for the info JM! After looking at the stem, I don't think there is metal loss so I might just be in luck 🙂 In case I do need a new Stem crown, who is your mystical source if I can ask?

      Elgin Grade 315: Runs/stops with dial down/up

      By docrpm · Posted

      Thanks for the explanation @JohnR725. I had seen images like this before, but they didn’t quite make sense. Now I get it. It’s good that I removed the jewels for cleaning, I think, since that probably hadn’t been done for a very long time. With that said, my oiling probably wasn’t effective. I can add a drop and use my oil balance staff to get it to bleed down.
