I sold a watch yesterday to a nice guy from New York.  But didn't look close on the postal code until he said it was the wrong number. No it's to late. Already on the way. 

Will the postage come back or is there something i can do? I had written 12250 but he is in Newburgh 12550 . Everything else is there except the wrong postal code. I treid to contact USPS . But could do  anything  as i from Sweden 

Maybe someone can help me out that from USA.  At least alert them that it's wrong. 

It 4 hours journey for this guy if he should collect it in 12250 Albany 

Is there anything more i can do? Sure it comes back to me and i can send it again . But that could take 3-4 weeks.

If everything else is correct, but the zip is wrong, good ol' USPS will correct it, but it will delay the shipment. I've been the recipient of packages with wrong zip code and it was delayed by two weeks even when tracking showed it arrived at NY distribution center. In my experience, very little can be done at this point except to wait.

That sound good to hear . I will follow the shipment on USPS . Hopping it will be delivered to the owner. I was writing in his email when i did the waybill . Hope USPS can see that and send him an email. No problems if it's a little delayed.  Just hope it won't be sent back to me. or get lost somewhere along the way.

If I'm going to go to the post office, I'll let you know. Then perhaps you can provide me with the tracking number and I can provide it to the USPS. Otherwise, it shouldn't be too much of a delay. The zip-code was put in the address in order to speed things up. The fact that the zip-code you put on will take it to the same vicinity, probably won't cause too much delay. If I see my postman, I'll pick his brain on it. Good luck, rogart63.

Thanks @MrRoundel. Will let you know if there is a trouble with it. It's in transit now. Maybe it will arrive to USA tomorrrow or Monday

My hopes are high after all you guys telling me it will be okay . And hopefully Mr bond will arrive to his new owner soon.

      Part swapper to part maker

      By Neverenoughwatches · Posted

      Thanks Rich, its really not that difficult to make them, simple ones anyway. Cousins didn't have the part though i could find it on ebay at 6.50. I figure i earned about £1.50/ hr . It paid for the diamond files i bought.

      How to remove shock settings from Smiths 512 movement

      By mikepilk · Posted

      If you look at this thread, you can see I had exactly the same problems with balance springs with 2 prongs on a Smiths 627. The slots in the chaton were not big enough to get the ends of the spring out. I had to bend them to get them out and back in. Not ideal. I don't fancy having to do it again as they could easily break, and where would you find replacements? I didn't come across the 3 prong type.

      Breguet Exhibition at London Science Museum

      By mikepilk · Posted

      I visited the Breguet Exhibition today. https://www.sciencemuseum.org.uk/about-us/press-office/rare-timepieces-unveiled-new-display-science-museum The Science Museum now holds the collection of "The Worshipful Company of Clockmakers" - "The collection includes more than 600 watches, 90 clocks, 30 marine chronometers and a number of fine sundials and examples of hand engraving, mapping the history of innovation in watch and clock making in London from 1600 to the present day." It's well worth a visit. They have some amazing pieces by the likes of Harrison, Breguet, Tompion etc . I've visited twice before but decided to go and see the Breguet Exhibition. Maybe I was expecting too much, as on reflection, "More than 20 extraordinary timepieces designed by inventor and watchmaker Abraham-Louis Breguet " isn't going to take up that much space. In reality, it's just one cabinet. But, Oh those watches, stunning 🤩 , e.g. (No 1297 was made for George III and is valued about £1m)   I tried a couple of pics, but with subdued lighting and taking through glass, they aren't good. I like thin hands on a watch - how about these (I think this is a split second chrono)   And this one, with all it's complications, is only 10mm thick !   What I found very interesting were a few very old machines for making watch parts, like this 17th Century gear cutter. The disc below has concentric rings with holes in, so that is can be set to cut varying teeth numbers.

      How to remove shock settings from Smiths 512 movement

      By RobS · Posted

      Firstly sorry for poor image quality I only have an iPhone for photos.    Im working on a 512 movement and I’ve had some trouble with the “jewels”. I’ve got the metal one out, but when I tried to put it back the three sides of the spring seem to need pressing all at once to fit it as there are three “holes”. I get two corners in but as I go for the third the first two pop out! Constantly I’ve lost the spring. I’ve done the similar ones on seiko movements without trouble. Assuming I find it/a replacement, what am I missing!   on the other side with the only ruby in the movement is a setting with no “gap”at all. How do I get the spring out, and of course get it back in!    What am I missing!    thanks in advance.    Rob

      Links like that are the reason I routinely donate to the Internet Archive - they are the last safe house for a tremendous amount of useful info that is otherwise lost.
