You may get lucky and get away with cleaning the reverser wheels to flush out any muck or old oil, and then relubing by immersing in a bath of 9010 diluted 1:30 with naphtha. This has worked well for me many times.

The biggest mistake with these wheels is over oiling. The 30:1 naphtha/9010 mix gets around this as the naphtha evaporates and leaves an almost microscopic coating of 9010 behind; more than that causes problems. You could also use Lubeta which is made specifically for this purpose, although ETA would rather you just replace the wheels every time.

      Long Case winding

      By dnhb · Posted

      At a friend's request, I've obtained a key for her long case clock which has been silent for some years. On winding it, the weight only rises a foot or so from the floor - & is not visible above the lower panelled section - before the key meets significant resistance. However it then runs quite happily for a day or so by which time the weight is again on the floor. I haven't had the chance to examine the movement but would be grateful for suggestions as to what might be happening here.

      Which Watch Have You Got Coming In The Mail ? Show Us !!!

      By Neverenoughwatches · Posted

      Despite having to change up your magnification and get your head into the super micro mech zone, I admit I'm not adverse to buying women's watches. You can finish up working on some good high end movements for a fraction of the price of men's. They also finish off that little black dress number and heels look on Saturday night outs. I would laugh but i have had some very odd Saturday nights out , ok go on then I'll laugh, i just made that up....ahem...😅

      These are some from a couple of job lot ebay batches totalling 40+ watches I got a few weeks ago, ~£2 or less each. I'd only looked at a couple of specifically interested ones so far, as I already had others of interest to look at I've just gone through some of the smallest ladies ones. I was expecting them to be mostly cheap quartz, but only one of them was - the others are all look like good quality mechanical ones! There are also a good selection of other types, including a couple of nice looking old Casios - and some blingy things..

      My Omega Seamaster aqua terra.  It's just me, very understated but classy ( not that I'm classy). I don't like dive watches, the bezel puts me off or any kind of bling. I prefer indices to numbers. I don't have any other luxuries, not into clothes, seldom go for expensive meals etc. So it's my little treat to myself.  Not my watch but exactly the same, just got home and taken it off.
