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 ?

      Waltham A-11 Hairspring and Balance assessment help needed.

      By Bonefixer · Posted

      Newbie here too, but I’ve done a bit of reading around this subject. Looks like a Breguet overcoil. You’re right about A and B - A is just a minor tweak - but most damage is between B and the stud.    Pivots can be unbent, but there’s a high risk of breaking it off. Take care, and probably see how it runs before trying.    That’s really dirty. I’ve never found IPA to loosen Shellac. If you’re worried, put it in soapy water in the ultrasonic and then dip it in IPA as a quick rinse to displace the water and prevent rusting.    As for the stud - does it wedge in the angle and the screw holds it there?

      No, it is browser dependent - your browser may have a spell checker you can switch on in settings. A quick search on Google may help you if you don't use Chrome: https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/12027911?hl=en-GB

      Replacing armoured crystal in a front loading watch case…

      By Zendoc · Posted

      Thank you for your reply, Curare.  You offer me hope ! Yes, my experience is that crystals with a tension ring require a very heavy screw down on the crystal lift - I’ve cracked a couple.  I think I’ll use a press to install the new crystal and keep my fingers and toes crossed that I don’t mash the underlying dial and movement. Waggy - there’s no bezel on this particular omega case and the movement loads from the front (there’s a spit stem), so the only option is to directly fit the crystal into the case with the movement in place.  And what happened to you could so easily happen to me!  I have woken in my sleep, heart racing,  seeing the fragments of smashed crystal gouging the dial and mangling the hands! I’m hoping someone who has worked on an Omega Dynamic might have some direct experience and will let me know how they managed the surgery. Thanks to all. Cheers, John   Oldhippy - thanks for your comment.  So, you’d just go ahead and place the crystal using a press, movement in situ, in the case?  OK - that’s what I’ll do.   Cheers, John
