Purchased this today from a retired surgeon that said he couldn’t carry on restoring clocks any more in his retirement because of failing eye sight, he just kept bringing out boxes Pultra advertised as a 17/50 but turned out to be a 17/70 , 2 crosslides 3 tool rests fixed steady lots of collets , full set or step chucks, full set of ring chucks , full set of bell chucks plus loads more, he had a working mardrive as well but I said I didn’t want that but I did take the overhead gantry.

That should keep me quiet restoring that according to my wife , she knows me so well after 50 years.

      Pocket watch mainspring replacement

      By dnhb · Posted

      With apologies for taking advantage of your kindness in responding, would you be able to indicate what sort of additional info is needed & where on the watch I might find it? Do you have any suggestions as to what Cousins might mean by "a normal  bridle"? ( their website says they can't provide any technical information....)

      Yeah, it looks exactly like that, but the balance staff pivots was long when fit into the jewels, so I took some  bits shorten it from the bottom pivot but  when  I made the movement run  on all position and all the other position works fine but not on dial up position.  and im not getting any reading from my timegrapher So what do you reckon the issue could be do I need to shorten the bottom pivot more and also a notice the balance rim is really close to the center wheel teeth  feel  it's catching the rim.

      filling a tiny hole in lume (not re-doing the whole lume)

      I don't think there's a risk with UV glue of causing damage. I know a friend of mine frequently reinforces vintage lume with the same lacquer that comes with the modern lume kits and hasn't had any issue with that either. I would personally leave the hole, and drag a layer of UV across the bottom to stabilize what's there.   I really like Loxeal UV glue, the one I keep around (and it is approved by my picky Japanese watchmaker friend) is their UV30-33. I think any name brand, clear UV glue would be fine though.

      Without knowing what the existing lume is I don't think anyone would be able to answer that. With all things lume related there's a lot of trial and error. I'd avoid anything as harsh as UV and probably just go with Jewellers Cement and leave it to dry naturally.

      Thanks @RichardHarris123. I really want to avoid a full re-lume at pretty much all costs. I'd rather leave the small hole. My main question really is: which products (which lacquer, which UV glue) is NOT going to chemically alter/damage the current lume?   PS: i've read some old posts of @HectorLooi and @nickelsilver and would be grateful to have their views.
