Nice collection. I'm an old boy so I don't like quartz. Two I like are the Zenith and the Lanco there what I call proper watches. :D

Thanks Oldhippy, I agree with you, I still prefer the mechanical to quartz, that's why my next purchase is a Citizen Signature Grand Classic Automatic, getting an amazing deal on it, almost 40% off regular price.

Nice Zenith and Lanco...

While  I prefer mechanical watches over battery powered watches , I seem to have so many of them Including a Citizen  Blue Angels Eco-Drive Radio controlled chronograph .

Because , as I later found out , we don't receive the radio signals in Hawaii , I picked up a Citizen F-100 Satellite controlled watch so I can see the hands and date wheel go round with the signal....

    • You often see the term used on old watch part boxes.  Staffs for bracelet watches, timing washers for bracelet wstches etc.
    • The Boro has changed quite a lot over the last 20 years, and not for the better. I actually moved out of the town 15 years ago to a small village not far away. Thanks for the pdf! Looks a great read. I'll get it printed today and put it on my work bench!
    • Not having all the fancy equipment, this is a way I came up with. I never said it was the best, the most ideal or the safest way. Working on balances is always a delicate task whereby full concentration & common sense should prevail. I was well aware of the "dangers" / short comings involved, hence my "warnings", as quoted above. The balance wheel of the Omega was nice true, flat and one could clearly see how much gap there was left before the grinding wheel would touch the balance wheel. I stopped when the generously applied diamond paste started to touch the rim of the balance wheel, which turned out to be with a seat thickness left of 0.1mm. Tapping the remainder of the staff out went easy and flawless. My idea of penning this article was to show/share a way which, in my case, perfectly succeeded. If deemed to risky, or if the balance wheel is not true or has a wobble, other methods have to be followed.
    • I loved his explanation of a teardown 😅 Ex military Richard Perrett, pretty knowledgeable guy.
    • I also see a bit of danger for the wheel, at least you have to keep away from it and may get a too thick rest ring. My rest rings are about 0.05 mm. Better way would be a grinding wheel touching the staff with its circumference. Frank
