Greetings from Western Australia.  I am a retired master watchmaker, who loves all aspects of what we do and I hope I can be of some help on this forum.

So far I have found it very interesting and now I have more "time on my hands" for browsing!

Outstanding! It's wonderful to see another experienced pro stop by and share their knowledge, for some of us this website may be the only contact we have with people who really know what they are doing. 

Welcome, and enjoy!

Good to see another Western Australian on here, although I'm only a second year student on watch repair.

Are you a member of Master Clock and Watch Makers of Western Australia?

Look forward to reading your posts.

Welcome from me. It is nice to have another experienced senior watchmaker. To those that are new to horology it might be a good idea and explain what a master watchmaker is. My self I’m a retired watch/clock maker.

Hello Gordi,
Welcome from me as well, I have been the recipient of much welcome advice from the pro's on the forum and an increase to the pool of knowledge can only be good for everyone.
Cheers,
Vic

      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

      By Endeavor · Posted

      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.
