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?

      Epilame / Fixodrop

      Oh well, if Master @nickelsilver says it's the way to go, then it is the way to go! I stand corrected! 🫡 Are there any other places where you're supposed to remove the epilame from the contact point of rubbing? I don't think so! Thanks for the effort @Neverenoughwatches, much appreciated! 🙂👍

      If you're seeking advice for your "Harvard GSD" MArch II application essays, I'd recommend taking a thoughtful approach. Reflect deeply on your experiences, passions, and goals, and tailor your essays to showcase your unique perspective and potential contributions to the program. As for resources, I recently stumbled upon a gret platform for essays, and I must say, it's been quite helpful. Their selection of pre-written essays covers a wide range of topics, and their professional writers can also assist with custom essays tailored to your specific needs. Check out their offerings here: https://essaypro.com/essays-for-sale. Remember, authenticity is key in your application essays. Good luck!

      For clarity and ease of testing, I redid that diagram, flipping the circuit to match the layout of the physical watch.

      Hello, Thanks for the reply. The old jewel will get pushed out from the "outside" which is the dial side. The new jewel will get pressed in from the inside (shown below) which is the movement side, correct?     And the old jewel and spring will get pushed from the is the "outside" which is the dial side. Thank you very much for the information. I will take out the KIF spring and save it. Will update when the new jewel is in place!   Regards, Joe

      It's a little circlip style retaining clip to keep the pinion from riding up out of position.
