Hey everyone, my name is Hubert Koenning, I'm from Germany. My English is bad, but I hope you can understand me and your Language corrections are welcome. I know a little bit about mechanical watches, round about 30 watches are my own. Some of these watches have I repaired. Most of them are from Germany (Pforzheim) especially from Fa. Epple ( EPPO) and some from the Switzerland. My last Service was a Junghans (ZentRa) Pocket watch with the caliber 42/1.

 

greetings

Aloha Hubert , and Welcome to this Forum .

I am sure you will find the members friendly and willing to share their experience and varied collection of timepieces . 

Your Eppo watch is a piece of eye candy and I found oldhippy's description of the regulator arm to be an interesting fact . Definitely something that is new to me .

      What is this tool !

      By mikepilk · Posted

      I was pleased to pick up a selection of some tools on ebay (v cheap 🤣), and they've just arrived,  I've been looking for a crystal press for a while, and this one is ideal But in the selection is this thing - what is it for?  (it's about 3" long) Something to do with stem tubes?

      You'll have to strip it back anyway.

      Epilame / Fixodrop

      By Neverenoughwatches · Posted

      I think I've heard that more than from just Alex. That doesn't make it right though, but I'm convinced i saw some literature diagram explaining why to do that. There must be good info here in the archives, I'll have to have a dig around.

      That will mean dismantling the gear train, which with 5 pivots to align was a pain. Probably going to have to though. I'm convinced it's something to do with the great wheel.

      Epilame / Fixodrop

      By VWatchie · Posted

      As far as I know, the only time an epilame treatment has potential drawbacks is when something is rubbing on the treated part w/o lubrication in between creating abrasive dust. That is, I don't believe in the method of "running the watch to make a groove through it first in the pallet stones where the lubrication is then placed". So, I think the rule would be; do not epilame treat parts where rubbing is going on without lubrication. Other than that I don't think we have anything to worry about. That said, I'm not an expert, and I'm always happy to learn more. Has any other repairer than Alex suggested or explained the "making-a-groove" method? My impression is that it's just something he constructed in his mind. I have not perceived it as a generally practiced method. Again, I could be wrong!
