Whilst parts sales not allowed on WRT, they are now encouraged by watch guy.  Just added this to the suppliers links page. https://www.watchrepairtalk.com/links/watch-clock-repair-suppliers/

Anyone can add their parts catalogue and make parts available for sale

I love this idea - but...

At the moment the site looks too much like a funnel site back to his commercial watch repair business.

On that basis, I don't want to approve it in the resources section.

If this changes it can be re-submitted and I would even get behind it as it looks like it has huge potential.

Sorry Mark, I hadn't seen it that way as I guessed that anyone who used the parts supply wouldn't be using the repair service. He is looking for additional sponsorship for the parts site though...

In the meantime do you need to remove it from the links page or does it just show up for me?

Most likely not. If i am in need of the parts i would most likely repair the watch myself. But it could still be of benefit to Christian as he could easier find the parts he need for his business?

I think it would easier for all of us to find the part needed. But it would work better if many people would upload their stock.

I have a problem uploading a part. it is a Ronda quartz movement but there is no such manufacturer to choose. I cant add "Ronda" as a manufacturer, get the error message "there is already Ronda balance staffs added".

 

Added "Ronda movement". Is that ok?

Under my settings you can add a manufacture. I tried and it doesn't work.  Check with Christian ?

      Usually the coiled spring contacts the piezo sounder and the finger spring is the ground.

      How to store one dip

      By Waggy · Posted

      So I checked with my friendly local lab supplier and they can supply the following in 2.5 lt bottles: Tetrachloroethylene (B-Dip) - approx ￡65 Trichloroethylene (one-dip) - approx ￡43 n-Heptane 99% (Essence of Renata) - approx ￡35 Hexane - approx ￡45 I can't import or buy locally the 'real' products, hence the raw chemicals above. What do you think would be my best option? I'm edging towards Trichloroethylene - I know there are greater health risks, but given the very small quantities used for each treatment and 99.99% of the time it will be sealed in a jar, I think any risk is vanishingly small? This is mainly due to its assumed superior cleaning properties, or from the experience of this group, is the extra cleaning noticeable compared to its safer alternatives?

      Blew it with a coil

      By Kkramme · Posted

      Unfortunately after much investigation, apparently the coil has been discontinued! Shall I get my service guy to try the solder or the conductive paint? 🎨 Final recommendation please🙏

      Eta 2970-1 rotor mount stops watch

      By Dmitry · Posted

      Here are the pics of the bridge. Looks correct, but as soon as I screw on the rotor, the watch stops. Video here: https://1drv.ms/v/s!ArG5E62RGctxjokY5ws85BzuJLVakA   Pics. Might have figured it out. I have been working on this watch for a while and since I got it as a non runner in a terrible shape, there was no guarantee that parts were proper. I think the main screw that was used on the rotor was too long, so it was stopping the main train. As soon as I fished out a much shorter and larger headed screw, things were good again. Please celebrate with me.

      B-Dip residue?

      By KarlvonKoln · Posted

      One-dip or naphtha should be safe, but are you sure it isn't magnetized?  I would also check that.  Although, if that balance is from an Elgin 760 0r 761, I would think it would have a hairspring of non-magnetic alloy.
