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 ?

      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.

      Replacing armoured crystal in a front loading watch case…

      By Curare · Posted

      Hi John I just did a Seiko Lord-Matic a front loader without a split stem, I used a crystal lift to remove it, although I had to have it that tight I though I was going to break the lift before the crystal would budge. So I decided that the press would be a better option as I think crystals with tension rings resist a lot of compressing. I used a crystal press to repalce it and the bezel with no issues, obviuosly a different watch to the Omega. I just took my time and kept inspecting the installation progress bit by bit Regards CJ

      Replacing armoured crystal in a front loading watch case…

      By Zendoc · Posted

      Hello All, I’m replacing the crystal in an Omega Dynamic, # 165.039, which houses a cal 552, installed through the front of the case. The replacement Sterncreuz crystal is, like the original, with tension ring. I removed the crystal using a compressed air technique to pop it out.  (I have a crystal lift, but I’m always fearful of marking the crystal edges and so avoid using it as much as possible). Now to the replacement -  any tips on putting the crystal back in?  Am I obliged to using my dreaded crystal lift to complete the task, or how about a crystal press?  I’ve put lots of crystals in using a press, but never with the movement in the watch. The thought of using one with a front-loader makes me very nervous, with the fully assembled watch sitting under the press. How would more experienced folks proceed here? Any advice, gratefully received… John Down Under…

      No thats straight out of the watch as i found it the balance wheel is almost as bad. I've never seen so much material removed.
