Hi, this is my first post so I thought it best to introduce myself to everyone, my name is Brian, originally from Scotland, moved to the states in 2009, I work in a nice jewelry store here in New Jersey with three other watchmakers, I'm fortunate that my store sell and service many nice brands from Rolex to Breitling, Cartier, Baume Mercier and Pateks and we get the opportunity to work on these watches and attend training at their respective service centers, I have been there since 2011 and love every minute of it.

I very much enjoy seeing Marks' videos online and find them very informative and well put together, excited to join this forum to discuss and learn more about this wonderful trade from other members.

Thank you all for accepting my application and I look forward to chatting, learning and sharing information with other members.

Brian

Hello from me Brian,
Excellent that you chose to join us. I can only claim a quarter of Scottish ancestry as it was my grandad who was a proud Scot. Oddly enough his Surname was Paisley.
Cheers,
Vic

Funny coincidence Vich.

Thank you for the warm welcome, it's very much appreciated.

      Eta 2970-1 rotor mount stops watch

      By Dmitry · Posted

      Here are the pics of the bridge. Looks correct, but as soon as I screw on the rotor, the watch stops. Video here: https://1drv.ms/v/s!ArG5E62RGctxjokY5ws85BzuJLVakA

      B-Dip residue?

      By KarlvonKoln · Posted

      One-dip or naphtha should be safe, but are you sure it isn't magnetized?  I would also check that.  Although, if that balance is from an Elgin 760 0r 761, I would think it would have a hairspring of non-magnetic alloy.

      Replacing armoured crystal in a front loading watch case…

      By Curare · Posted

      Hi John I just did a Seiko Lord-Matic a front loader without a split stem, I used a crystal lift to remove it, although I had to have it that tight I though I was going to break the lift before the crystal would budge. So I decided that the press would be a better option as I think crystals with tension rings resist a lot of compressing. I used a crystal press to repalce it and the bezel with no issues, obviuosly a different watch to the Omega. I just took my time and kept inspecting the installation progress bit by bit Regards CJ

      Replacing armoured crystal in a front loading watch case…

      By Zendoc · Posted

      Hello All, I’m replacing the crystal in an Omega Dynamic, # 165.039, which houses a cal 552, installed through the front of the case. The replacement Sterncreuz crystal is, like the original, with tension ring. I removed the crystal using a compressed air technique to pop it out.  (I have a crystal lift, but I’m always fearful of marking the crystal edges and so avoid using it as much as possible). Now to the replacement -  any tips on putting the crystal back in?  Am I obliged to using my dreaded crystal lift to complete the task, or how about a crystal press?  I’ve put lots of crystals in using a press, but never with the movement in the watch. The thought of using one with a front-loader makes me very nervous, with the fully assembled watch sitting under the press. How would more experienced folks proceed here? Any advice, gratefully received… John Down Under…
