Hi all , first please excuse my English , my name is vasilis and i am from Greece .

I own a jewlery shop here in Greece .i sell jewels and watches .

i like watches and beside selling them i try to repair them too , all those diffirent kinds and mechanisms are a real chalenge and seems that

no tools or parts are enough when you decide to deal with them .

Marks videos were those that lured me here and i am happy for it:)

Welcome to our forum parmenion! We are happy to have a jeweler with us...I don't think anyone has identified himself as one so far? As you can see, our members come from many fields and that enriches our watchmaker knowledge that "borrows" from all the available technology, old and new.

In any case, we are here to help with your questions and be receptive to your answers! Enjoy!

Cheers,

Bob

Yasou Vasilis and kalosorisma,

Good to have you here and I look forward to your postings.  I have had a lot of holidays in Sidari and Kalamaki and now I tend to go to Crete once a year and I always look in the jewelry shops, well my wife does so I have to !

you will get help here if needed and of course Marks videos are what brought a lot of us to the forum.

Yamas, 

Vic

      AS 554 from 1930

      Nice interesting diver Razz, i have a sheffield dress watch, different movement altogether. Could be a wrong motion works part, how does the setting feel before fitting the cannon pinion, clutch and intermediate wheel meshing ok ?  The less traditional setting design could be suspect, the second wheel has a slip clutch assembly, that most likely needs looking at. LA is 42 ° Razz Tbh i  much prefer to call the complete unit the lever, then use the seperate names for all of its components. Such as guard pin, fork, fork horns, fork slot, lever arm, pallets , pallet arms, pallet slot, pallet stones. I suppose pallet fork is the combination of the two opposite ends that make up the lever, its also called the anchor which is descriptive of its appearance.  Its a pretty basic 1930s  swiss lever movement H and yes Nev was meaning the pallet fork.

      The pallet fork should really be called a lever, English lever, Swiss lever etc but most people including myself call it a pallet fork.

      Seiko 6309a diver crown replacement

      By RichardHarris123 · Posted

      Seiko have case numbers, I  can't see it on your photos.  If you can find that we can look for a genuine crown.  If not, you need to measure the diameter of the stem, the distance between the lugs and the depth of the lugs.  The case number will be something like this.

      I'm not sure what kind of movement this is, but I'm curious to know if you're using the word "lever" as a synonym for "pallet fork"?

      Actually kind of rough, maybe munute wheel pinion problems? Is the 2.73mm canion oinion which seems rarer and not availble on Cousins UK. The seconds hand works and suprising nice amplitude but don't know the lift angle and BE this one says 17 j but is a pin pallet as well. Cap jewels on the escape and drive train pivots. Interestingly in has both water proof and shock resistant on the caseback and dial. Puts this around 1969 or '70? The double bezel that works independently is cool has the pi symbol on each. Wonder if it can be used like a slide rule ir something...
