Just had a look at it on your pages.  Why would anyone wnt a soulless iWatch when there are wonderfull watches like that around.  Hopefully one day I will finally get my hands on one of my Gt x3 grandfathers bits of work (Benjamin Harlow Lane End Staffs) it will be Georgian and definitely older than me at last (:-)). 

 

Baking Bread today. They are going to be Olives and Cheese buns specials. Cheated a bit using the dough making cycle of my bread machine but the baking smell is now permeating the house.

 

Cheers, Vic

I was supposed to bake some bread this morning but we decided to sweep and wash down the patio to get rid of all the builders' grit and dust after our building work at the back of the house. I'll probably make some tomorrow. I used to knead my own dough but the bread making machine does it just as well.

Bit off the posting now but these are my iBuns - Cheese and olives inside toasted cheese and onion on the top. Smell better than the watch, perfectly visible at every angle, don't need recharging, satisfying and you can put butter on them without causing any damage.  Also when you look at them you can tell the time - time to eat one. :D

Ah! The new Patek competition...at what US$17000+ I believe? I saw and add and the price seemed like a joke! The whole watch is probably one chip they bought for about US$.25 in bulk and is mass produced! This advertising says "you do....things that simply weren't possible before" and that is correct, it makes a lot of money, very fast for Apple! :)

Does it come with a really small watch band ? I have just thought of somewhere to wear it. 

 

My son in LA was up all night preparing for them to go on sale, He then had to look happy and joyous when the first customers are whooped and high fived into the shop - does not come easy to a geordie lad :D .  However, I admit he has bought one (with staff discount) which I will see in july when he arrives also with numerous goodies I have bought on the Bay in the USA.

 

Cheers,

OK this is a realy old posting and hopefully no one will read this 🥵 I am obviously a hippocrite as I have an iwatch 6 provided courtesy of my son.  It does provide certain health benefit advice that assist with the various medical conditions I currently host.  However, I will not get used to my watch picking up all my calls and texts and immediately drawing my attention to them as well as the numerous deliveries from Amazon etc.

My activities have been somewhat curtailed recently due to sight problems and other stuff but I have not quite given up on the hobby it just takes much longer to do anything.

Happy new year to all,

Vic

      Parts sourcing for FHF 180 movement

      By JohnR725 · Posted

      I am puzzled by something a snipped out something from your image and what exactly disassemble tell us? my confusion is the symbol for FHF looks like image I have below year symbol as a star and righted this instant are not finding what that means? I suppose we could use the fingerprint system to verify it really is what it claimed to be. Size itself is really interesting there's almost no watches in that particular size. Then were missing details in the photograph above like diameter of movements to verify it really is the size and are missing the setting components.   went to the bestfit book looking at the symbols didn't see it. Look at the link below I did find it back to the bestfit book and yes it really is there https://reference.grail-watch.com/documents/history-of-ebauches-sa/ then bestfit book says lists the size as 10 1/2. one of the problems with vintage watches is finding parts yes a donor watch would be good.

      Oiling Dubois Depraz chrono module pivots (Omega Speedmaster Reduced)

      By Simeon · Posted

      Actually, this could be the issue. Drag from the module could be overcoming the cannon pinion. It was definitely not at the point that the driving wheel was loose on the cannon pinion, it took a little bit of effort to rotate it when applying the grease. Maybe I need to look again at applying oil to the pivots.    Yeah, it's very annoying. I don't want to give up on it, so back on with it over again until I catch a break.

      Chinese tools debate

      The sping is not pushing directly on the cap, but is pushing against the spindle. So, even if the usual black cap is replaced with the micrometer cap, the spindle is still pushed up.

      But he tells that the micrometer cap doesn't screw into the spindle. How can the spring push the spindle up if there's nothing to grip? There is a screw visible on top of the micrometer cap so should it be able to screw into the spindle? I'm feeling really dumb now. Does anyone manufacture that cap as an aftermarket item? Might be worth investing. Ok so the spindle is different, now I get it.

      I suppose? If it worked before and it doesn't work now I guess the question would be why does it not work now? That would come back to if you did not have the chronograph module on will it work or is the chronograph module sucking too much power out of the watch basically 99 usually when they go bad you can hold on the tube part and usually just spin the wheel because it has zero holding at all so usually when they go bad they go bad very bad. You should build hotel when you set the watch as to whether it seems to have any friction or not. I'm just wondering if the chronograph module is the problem.
