No sales forum rule.


Recommended Posts

Just a wee reminder to everyone.

Please do not make any posts that either directly or indirectly constitute a sales advert, as it contravenes the long established forum rules and it will be removed.

Thank you.

A number of other watch sites have adopted a minimum post rule before a member can participate in the associated sales forums. It's usually a minimum of 50 posts. I used to wonder at the logic of such a requirement and originally assumed that it was for the protection of the members from predators just wanting a quick sale. I'm not so certain any longer. After mostly lurking on another board for several years and observing the watches being offered for sale by some totally unscrupulous members, perhaps that rule is in place to protect the new members from the old ones. At any rate, I'm totally appreciative of the lack of a sales forum on this site. Bravo!

i am new to the forum and grateful to know this, how does it work if your repairing and in need of a perticular hard to find part and some one offers it too you?

 

That dosn,t constitute commercially benefitting direct/ indirect, nor a sale. You can join this  " pass it on"  program currently practiced between members.

It would probably help to quote the section

what's interesting is if you look at the rules on the Facebook discussion that Mark has he extends it to not posting links to your YouTube videos which to be honest I actually quite like. Because I really like it if the discussions would stay on the group as opposed to which I've seen occasionally somebody saying go to my video it will solve your question where now the discussion is not on the group and not benefiting the group.

The simplistic is the group does not exist for you to make a financial profit off of the group.

    • Hello from the Mid-Atlantic United States. I've been in the hobby for a few months and have concluded that I will be staying in it for a while. I've started to get some proper tools and I am looking forward to developing some skills. My current goal is to get comfortable enough to service / repair some watches I've inherited from family members.  My current project is a Mentor pendent watch with a BF866 movement that belonged to my great aunt.
    • Success! The watch is working, albeit not perfectly. I need to install a new mainspring. It only runs about 16 hours. Still, it's my first cleaning and rebuild. I bought it from the original owner's son on eBay! The other one was bought at a flea market. I needed both to complete the project. The model with a seconds hand had soldered watch band pins and I couldn't drill tiny holes so I used the flea market Waldan, which was nearly a perfect match. I also replated the case with nickel, but the result was subpar. It's never as easy as it looks.
    • Thanks guys. It's a Seawolf 10ATM pre spring bezel. The case knife stressed me a bit, but eventually got it off and cleaned - nearly seventy years of grime.  Thanks.  Cheers John
    • Exactly. This is a pic of the hairspring I'm working on. My horizontal v vertical rates are all over the place. There is no discernible terminal curve. My problem is that the outer coil is (possibly) hitting the regulator pin. It's hard to tell but it looks to be getting very close. Also getting close to the stud, which could be @VWatchie's problem. You can see that I need to adjust the inner coil to centre the collet. That will hopefully solve the problem. But then I'll take the spring off and attach it to the cock to see how it looks.   I don't know if it's causing your problem @VWatchie, but I would say your inner coil looks like this
