Finally Found A New Place...


Recommended Posts

Mark's move got me thinking about our move....

 

Since we are moving to Seattle in less than a week for my wife's new job, we've been scrambling to find a new place to live! Our first choice fell through because of an error by the listing company so we had to find something quick! We decided to move right in the middle of downtown Seattle.

 

We found this loft and fell in love with it! BUT, it going to be TIGHT! 800 sq.ft.Tiny to be exact...

 

Luckily, my shop sits in a tiny room right now and shouldn't take up much space..

 

But, I'll have great views!

Lovely looking location Don, I wondered where you had disappeared to. :-)

Been crazy around here lately! All the packing and logistical "Stuff" to deal with...

Also. I've been trying to get all my watch projects finished before the big move... :phew:

Remember not to be sleepless in Seattle! :-)

Ha! There may be a few Sleepless nights in Seattle! It will be the first time that my hobby will be required to pay for some of the bills... :(

Finally "Settled in Seattle"!

It's tight at 790sq.ft, but works for me! (Yes, that is my ice cold Peroni in the glass on the work bench...)

 

I also have a nice view from the loft of Puget Sound...

Excellent spot DJW, small works for me actually. The smaller the place the less a watch part has to travel! And speaking of travel, sometimes I believe watches have their own private travel agency for their parts...when they go, they really go! Believe it or not, I just lost a watch battery I was replacing...it simply ping or maybe pong to nowhere!

Good to here from you again Don. That's a really nice set up you have there and what a cracking view. I'm looking forward to seeing some more of your horological creations in the near future.

Yeah! So am I! Now that I chose to make a go at it as a small business, I really need to produce watches that people will like and would want to wear!

    • Hi to Blackminou29–am a collector/ caretaker—good luck to you following your repair course—with hindsight I wish I’d pursued a career in both watchmaker/ jeweler fields—good luck with whatever career passion you engage.   Thank you Watchweasol for posting the amazing TZIllustratedGlossary! Best wishes, Mike
    • yes I noticed the new site and I miss the old site. It's the unfortunate problem of the Internet here today gone tomorrow sometimes some of the stuff gets backed up and sometimes well it does not then the problem with the early Seiko's were there were not necessarily designed for distribution across the planet and as such there is no customer support for them. So trying to find early stuff like technical information or sometimes even parts list for older Seiko is is problematic. But I did find you a you tube video. A quick look he seems to take a heck of a lot of time to actually get to the service single I did not watch all that but it does look like he did disassemble or started to say there's a tiny bit here  
    • 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.
    • 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.
    • 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
