Hello everyone,

The watches are my passion, despite having a small watches collection around 100 watches, i never tried to learn how fix them.

Now i want to go deeper, about how to fix watches and im counting with your experience and help.

Any help is welcome.

By the way, anyone can give me an opinion about earnshaw watches in terms of quality.

All the best

Hello and welcome Ruitrigo,

glad to have you with us, I am sure you will get help with any problems. I will leave the query about Thomas Earnsjaw to others as I have never owned or fixed one of a mechanical nature but a quick skimming look on the net indicates that the modern ones seem to be of a mass produced type and quartz powered. Nothing wrong with that as even the likes of Omega have gone into Quartz production but I notice the prices are somewhat higher for the Omegas.  You really need someone that has been inside the watch cases for a look. It would be upsetting to pay a high price to find a cheap Miyota movement inside as happened to my brother in law with his Rotary.

"Only a hundred watches" seems to be a fair collection to me.

i look forward to hear how you are getting on.

Cheers,

Vic

      Been there. Worn that Tshirt.  'ping'. Hands and knees. Nothing. Nada. 20 minutes? Ha! I found it 7 month later. How? Well, after advice from a member, I invested in a £4 UV light torch.  Hands and knees looking for a 'ping' from a Sekonda, found them both within 30 seconds. UV makes the jewel shine. easy peasy. Could have taken longer. Just lucky on the location of the search. Hope this helps.

      Thanks Dell. I thought about silver soldering. Have never done it but would like to give it a go. Do you think to put flux on the butted joint then run the solder in or to maybe brace it with a piece of scrap spring steel?

      Without Our Forum

      Never and others. Yes, like you I do spend a fair amount of time reading the contents of this forum. I find it better that any other. Clear, lucid, no Prima Donas, and most of all an easy access without adverts. All thanks to Mark. God bless you mate. You give so much to many of us. What if? No Mark? Hypothetically. A forum. I did run a forum for a few years. Really enjoyed it, but became so engrossed that it did affect my health. I gave to to others to run. Not been back. It was very successful and rivalled a number of large paying sites. No adverts, no others but me. I did ask and listen to members comments and it worked well.    Costs Having a domain name, £10 annually.  Register the site with a forum company, free. Build the site using the forum company guide lines, free. It looked and ran almost the same a Mark's. All the same facilities. The cost was only £5 per month, but counted visits (views). If I recall, it was that price for 5,000 views. Each extra 5,000 views increased the price by £2 per month. Success was my own personal undoing. From £5 per month initially, it rose to £60 a month and looked like increasing. This was 10 years ago. I could not afford that, and asked it anyone would like to take over and someone did. I would assume that this is the price that Mark is funding for us all. His return is our continued comments on the internet about his course, and the fact that many of the big names on YouTube mention him as their Tutor. Those of us who have done, and are still using, his course, benefit. In comparison to other courses, I can't believe how cheap it is, and the value is exceptional. It is the structure that gives the value. Long may Mark reign. Ross
