What Camera?

Hello Mark Lovick,

                              I find your videos fascinating and exceptionally clear and was wondering which camera, set-up you use for filming?  It almost looks to me as though it would be possible using your set up to be able to work using an LCD monitor,  is this so?  Having watched you work I know an expert when I see one.  I did think watch repairers would die out with the explosion of quartz watches,  this is obviously not the case.

Hi roger,

The camera is a canon 600d and I use a 60mm macro lens. I have never attached it to an LCD screen but it sounds like that might be fun to try.

Back in the 80's we thought battery watches would kill off the trade but actually there will always be a demand for luxury watches and therefore a demand for watch repairers to look after them :)

    • As Richard said, this is a really old school trick for joinery.  Cut i strip of paper, might need to be watch paper  around 1 " x 1/2" lay it over a staking block then press the stud screw into and through the edge of the paper upto the head of the screw. You probably wont even need to pull the paper away the head will pull itself through.
    • Thanks Jon, my mum is getting there day by day, so strong and determined, they dont make em like this anymore 🙂 Old folk are so amazing,  my mum used to love her golf, she didn't stop playing until she was 70 . Enjoy your trip and your golf.
    • Hello,  i am looking to source a winding stem (winding arbor) for a waltham 6/0 d movement. I have found some that claim to fit 6/0, 6/0s, 6/0b etc and somealso claim they will also fit the d as well. The d does have hacking which is driven by the stem seating completely. Given some of the costs of these, i was hoping someone would know of any interchangeability with a source, or know a source where a confirmed 6/0 d stem can be had. I am in the US so a US dealer is best.    thanks in advance. 
    • So great to see and hear- your mum looks great! …my mil had a stroke last summer in the golf course parking lot. I’m flying out tomorrow to visit and play golf. she’s ornery because she can’t get off the tee but I hear she makes up for it on the greens since she’s been putting since a week after her stroke 🧐…
    • Very best wishes to you and your family, as a carer myself I know how difficult things can be.
