Hello and welcome from Leeds, England. -

Hello from Rick (68), a newly-retired engineer now aspiring to self-learn watch repair. So far, I'm just following Alex's Watch Repair Tutorials and abusing SeaGull ST3600 movements. Once enough mistakes are behind me, I may have a go at revitalizing some heirloom watches, including a 1920's Elgin pocket watch and a 1970 automatic. Yesterday's folly was: I completely dissolved the goo (shellac?) attaching the 3600's hairspring to its end stud… soaked too long in the IPA, I guess. The new adhesive is now curing, which gives me time to stop and say hi. Hi! -
Sorry, editted parts of different paragraph.🙃 Treat Foxodrop & carrier alchohal . -
Nothing would be easy for a newbie, including getting several different size mainspring winders. Therefore, a newbie should learn how to use hands, tweezers, 1.4-1.6mm flat screwdriver, a flat punch to manually install T-end mainspring into a barrel. And Yes - Safety First (safety for mainsprings) - use finger cots to keep the spring clean during installation. This subject was discussed in the past more than once: -
For third and escape wheel upper cap jewels i use seagull 1.00 x 0.14mm (J66703 from cousinsuk) in 7s26 and nh3x movements. Shock spring is 015.703.
