Cool! You're either going to have a lot of fun, or (like me) you're going to get really aggravated when you find out that the serviced watches you were so proud of aren't running as well as you thought they were :huh:

I think you'll probably have fun :biggrin:

Very nice toys! How is your progress so far with them? I got the same equipment (timegraph 1900 actually but very, very much the same). The demag tool requires some practice but it works fine. When I gave some MRI treatment to my watches in the timegraph most of my Seikos and some ETA were really off. I'm still getting there with them...nevertheless, the brand new one was behaving perfectly! Here is one ready for servicing:

Mostly off by a couple of mins a day as I expected except a seiko sportsmatic which was .1ms and the Roamer popular which I'd serviced the night before but not cased up that was .1 too all the rest are way out. So I'm having fun regulating about 30 watches I'm getting used to the demag its pretty much the same as my old one that was my grandads and was a antique and was quite scary to use and has probably done me irreversible  damage :D

      About repair watch's jewel.

      By jhoho202 · Posted

      First of all, thank you for the pdf file of the book on how to replace a gem. So, if there is a problem with the ruby in the movement, should I buy a new or used movement and replace it? When I watch videos on YouTube of people fixing used watches, I feel like there should be a way to buy a gem. Is there no way to buy it?

      Parts sourcing for FHF 180 movement

      By praezis · Posted

      I suppose @donutdan is not forced to earn his living by repairing watches.  I suppose he does it as a hobby and wants to gain experience, to get better in watchmaking and time is not the issue. Then @donutdan should rather try to repair the damage instead of swap parts from a maybe intact other movement. Swapping parts is not watchmaking. And often swapped parts are not the expected solution of all problems. All mentioned damages are repairable. Frank

      Chinese tools debate

      Yeah I figured that one out when I googled and realized that my spindle is actually from Horia. It's smooth with no screwable cap.

      Parts sourcing for FHF 180 movement

      By JohnR725 · Posted

      I am puzzled by something a snipped out something from your image and what exactly disassemble tell us? my confusion is the symbol for FHF looks like image I have below year symbol as a star and righted this instant are not finding what that means? I suppose we could use the fingerprint system to verify it really is what it claimed to be. Size itself is really interesting there's almost no watches in that particular size. Then were missing details in the photograph above like diameter of movements to verify it really is the size and are missing the setting components.   went to the bestfit book looking at the symbols didn't see it. Look at the link below I did find it back to the bestfit book and yes it really is there https://reference.grail-watch.com/documents/history-of-ebauches-sa/ then bestfit book says lists the size as 10 1/2. one of the problems with vintage watches is finding parts yes a donor watch would be good.

      Oiling Dubois Depraz chrono module pivots (Omega Speedmaster Reduced)

      By Simeon · Posted

      Actually, this could be the issue. Drag from the module could be overcoming the cannon pinion. It was definitely not at the point that the driving wheel was loose on the cannon pinion, it took a little bit of effort to rotate it when applying the grease. Maybe I need to look again at applying oil to the pivots.    Yeah, it's very annoying. I don't want to give up on it, so back on with it over again until I catch a break.
