My profile photo is age 20, last century, but I still look exactly the same so I'm not sure it counts ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Early ‘90s Debenhams in Oxford Street at InTime Watch Repairs. The older guy was one of my mentors Mr John Campfield, fantastic ex-Omega watchmaker. Good times - black hair gone now! 😄

I hardly have any of myself in the last few decades, though I do have my old passports etc. (with gradually degrading image quality; especially the last barely recognisable one, done in the Post Office dedicated licence & passport booth).

Left to right, 1986 (at 30), 1997, 2007, 2018. Once the hair went, I've not really changed. My profile image is from 2001.

Ha, same here. I just looked and I've lots of pictures of my cars, but hardly any of me - I have a face better suited for radio.

I did find this from about 20+ years ago. I'm the young looking one at the back, under the front nozzle.

      Making faceplate, question about clamps

      By caseback · Posted

      The project is still alive. The parts are roughed out from ground flat bar stock. But before I can move ahead I decided I needed to replace the spindle bearings of my milling machine. There was too much play on the spindle.. But after diasassembly and measuring the bearing spacers, it turned out that the difference in height was 0,189 mm. Way too much to achieve preload on non-paired bairings. So, the spacers need to be ground to get them to the same height so I can use a paired bearing set. To do that I need my surface grinder up and running and that needed a hydraulics overhaul. And that would be easier if I clean out my parts washer/de-greaser first..😀 So... this is getting to be one of those "I need to fix the machine I need to fix this machine to...." type of situation. Happy as a clam though 😃

      Sellita SW200-1: Avoiding Failures After Assembly – What Do You Check?

      By mehm · Posted

      Hello fellow watchmakers, I have a question for all of you, especially those who regularly work with the Sellita SW200-1 movement. At my workplace, we mostly handle watches with the SW200-1. As many of you might already know, this movement has a known issue with the ratchet wheel teeth breaking. However, recently, I've observed a noticeable increase in problems like: More frequent ratchet wheel teeth breakage Screws getting loose and falling off Sudden drops in amplitude And other irregular behaviors So here’s my main question: Before doing the final assembly of an SW200-1, what are the mandatory checks I should perform to ensure proper functioning and avoid post-service failures? For example, I already check: Ratchet wheel teeth condition Canon pinion friction Accuracy and amplitude Screw tightness Jewels condition But I’d love to hear from all of you — what other important things do you check during assembly? Any tips, tricks, or personal checklist items would be extremely helpful for me and ot hers working on this movement.
