Got about 2 kilos or 4 pounds of watch movement parts from a friend? Have no idea what i should do with all that stuff? All kinds of parts. Mostly inexpensive stuff i think? Haven't found anything yet so i can retire and live i Jamaica :) 

Can i sell it to some store that sell movement parts? Do Kudarsson or Northen Watch &clock supplies  buy in parts? Or any other places? 

 

Or if you have any other ideas i will be happy :) 

I am never going to work on all this watches in a lifetime .

I don't know, I'm kind of in the same situation myself. I have several kilos of old swiss mainsprings that were dumped from a material system that I'm not familiar with,  but the pack rat in me couldn't pass them up. I have not idea what I'll do with them. Maybe some day I'll sort through them.

Hang on to them.

sort through them and catalogue them by movement, then you know what you've got.

As a source of spare parts, jewels that can be harvested, potential projects for a rainy day, etc. you will have an invaluable resource

Have them in a big box.for now. I dno't think that is is much i can sell. Put some FHF 30 parts up for sale on Ebay. That's it 

Lot of parts for small movements that is hard to sell i guess? Like FHF 190. Lots of parts that says HS on the labels. Don't now what that could be?

      An intro…

      By HorologyHead · Posted

      RichardHarris123: Hello and welcome from Leeds, England.  I have family all over Australia, went as £10 poms Thanks Richard. Hope you’re able to visit your family here and that they’ve all done well 🙂 My relatives arrived from England in the 1790s transported on the ‘Second & Third Fleets’—a story of timber sailing ships, of convicts and doing well in this huge Country of Australia. When I visited the UK in the 1980s, I was too young to comprehend the depth and breadth of its history…  Best wishes, Mike William Chapman, my 4th great Grandad’s charges, at age 23 read at the Old Bailey; sentenced to 7 years of transportation to Sydney.

      New balance staff not riveting to balance

      The whole process and the progress are closely observed, it's hand-driven and very controlled. I can't see the "danger", unless you are watching the TV while doing it. As you could have read, and in this quote "wheel" is the balance-wheel.

      AS2063 - hand setting

      By Mercurial · Posted

      Have you got the pallet fork installed in the movement when you see the train move when using the setting works? As nevenbekriev said, without the pallet fork to lock the train, the behaviour you are describing is normal. If this is happening with the pallet fork installed, you have a problem in the gear train, it should be immobile when the pallet fork is locking the escape wheel.  The fit of the circlip above the pinions on that wheel is crooked in your pictures, it should sit flat up against the upper pinion as in Marc’s picture.  Hope that helps, Mark

      Stem broken - can it be rescued?

      By Khan · Posted

      Hi I got a Jaeger LeCoultre K911 movement, where one of the stems was broken. Part no. Should be 401.  Im based in Europe and tried Cousins but its discontinued. They except to get stem in stock for cal. K916 but will that work? Or Is there a way out to join the ends?

      The part was how it fell out of the movement - the train wheel bridge wasn’t screwed in.    I’ll probably dismantle the part, if I can, to work it out.    The train of wheels ran fine - it was only once the keyless works were installed I noticed the problem.
