Hello 

My name is Moises and as all of you I'm fascinated with watches and clocks as well. 

I very much liked what I have read here and planning to stay around learning from all of you .

Have a few watches but have a very special one that my Father Gave it to me when I was 18 yrs old...( been a while ) !...it is a Tissot Multimillionaire wich has never been serviced and ticks and keeps time after 34 yrs !

Visited a local watch service guy and He said that if it is still working just leave it alone ...I know it was not a good advise from him.

Meanwhile I'm trying to practice on few old non working automatic movements BEFORE attempting to service it my self.

Anyway , I'm very glad I found this site ...

Welcome to the forum!  Glad to see a fellow Texan here.  We used go to Padre Island once a year or so when I was a kid. I haven't been there in forty years.  I bet it's really changed. I hope you enjoy your practice with the watches you have.  The good thing is, if you need parts, it's fairly easy to find them in this area.  If you need advice, there is plenty of friendly advice here on this forum.  The videos from Mark are extremely helpful.

      Update: I posted over on NAWCC and it looks like I melted the fine coil wires where they come into the solder lugs. After dropping the heat way down on my iron and being absurdly careful, I have a humming fork!

      Rolex 2235 escape wheel jewel setting replacement

      By noirrac1j · Posted

      Hell0 @nevenbekriev. Thank you for your advice. I have removed the old setting using my staking set--I will keep the KIF spring, since it is still good.  I am awaiting the replacement setting, and will update when I do that. In the mean time, I looked at the escape wheel and it looks ok. What do you think?

      Seitz Tool - Help determine if Seitz or not

      By Hawaiikook808 · Posted

      Aloha All, I recently bought this Seitz tool on eBay, but it is missing some pushers reamers.  I ended up ordering new parts for those that were missing before I received the actual Seitz tool (bad idea).   Upon inspecting the pushers/bits, I noticed 23 of the 56 provided with the set had no numbers. Further inspection revealed a huge difference in the quality of those unnumbered.  Do all Seitz pushers/bits have a number on them?  I'm pretty sure that 33 of the 56 I received are cheap Chinese knockoffs.  The worst part is that I ordered $80 of parts to replace the missing pushers/bits, and now I'm looking to return the tool. I'm not crazy, right? If these are Seitz parts, they should all be numbered, correct? The first two pictures are the Seitz (numbered), and the other pictures are the suspect parts.  Will I even be able to get a refund?  Thanks, Frank

      Generic screws for unknown movements

      By Geotex · Posted

      Chief- The picture below shows the three parts from the dial side that are most useful to "fingerprint" a movement in conjunction with the diameter of the movement.  That's why forum participants are always asking for dial side photos in posts asking for identification.  As far as the setting lever screw, it actually sits loose in the main plate. The threads engage the setting lever below, and the elongated stem above the shoulder sticks through a hole in one of the bridge plates so that it's held captive if unscrewed all the way.  So you may be fine as far as that goes.
