Hello,

 

I just joined you guys here and wanted to introduce myself. I now reside in Australia but I fell in love with watches and clocks in Poland.

 

I never had formal training (as many of us I started as hobby) but I had (and still have) a 'must have' library of books by well known

Franciskans from Niepokalanów (Poland) br. Wawrzyniec M. A. Podwapiński and Bernard M. S. Bartnik. They issued a series of seven books

Starting from history of time keeping, technologies, tools, variety, mechanics, construction, design, service and repair of most of then known

timepieces (up until early electric and quartz). Also have quite a few other valuable books on the subject.

 

I had about 20 years break in this hobby and I am wanting to start again - Mark's videos on youtube did it although I never forgot the hours of

meditation with timepieces...

 

I still have 3 vintage Russian watches to restore, several random mechanisms to be worked on and 4 wall clocks (repair, restore cases).

 

Even though I actually got an iPhone (forced by our children). I wear a simple Tissot Seastar (T.251) and my wife wears Omega Seamaster (1380).

 

I am very happy to find this page/site/forum.

 

Regards

 

Zenon

Welcome to the forum! This is a very friendly place and filled with folks like yourself (and me!), hobbiest! There are also quite a few with exstensive knowledge as well.

I think the best thing about this particular forum is that it is a comfortible place to ask questions. I know from previous experience from other related forums that there always seemed to be someone there to critize or judge you at the drop of a hat.

That type of behavior does not happen here...

So kick back, relax and enjoy the ride!

      Notifications

      By JohnR725 · Posted

      if you're trying to keep track of conversations scattered all over the message board emails are an absolute must.   looking at the bell icon on the top of the page versus the emails today it looks like I got the correct amount of emails. So making some minor change based on the one of the images up above I started getting notifications again. But at times I still have a suspicion that something isn't quite right. I have some feeling that the message board may delay sending emails until something so seems to be a long delay between when you get your emails just a weird feeling things aren't quite right oh  and then even though I do seem to be getting emails I no longer get notifications of personal messages I don't find that out until I arrived at the message board where I'm pretty sure I used to get notifications of those two. So something is definitely changed on the message board. then for everyone not getting emails you do want to check your spam folder. I have found that sometimes were open up an email the system I use warns me that it thinks the email is evil and bad and I have no idea why he thinks some of the emails are and some are not. But this is actually the program I use not the email system which also has a mind of its own as to what it considers spam so you should always check your spam folder.

      If you Google "site:watchrepairtalk.com Unruh" it should answer your question. https://www.google.com/search?q=site%3Awatchrepairtalk.com+Unruh&sca_esv=cd1cd8ba04cfc6b9&rlz=1C1BYYL_svSE993SE993&sxsrf=ACQVn08-tJuTdvkJ1CZdy5PcUR7BB6zDaQ%3A1714681373604&ei=HfYzZtTBJPf8wPAPnsySiA0&ved=0ahUKEwiUxLTx5e-FAxV3PhAIHR6mBNEQ4dUDCBA&uact=5&oq=site%3Awatchrepairtalk.com+Unruh&gs_lp=Egxnd3Mtd2l6LXNlcnAiHnNpdGU6d2F0Y2hyZXBhaXJ0YWxrLmNvbSBVbnJ1aEjfCVAAWABwAXgAkAEAmAEjoAEjqgEBMbgBA8gBAJgCAKACAJgDAIgGAZIHAKAHLQ&sclient=gws-wiz-serp

      If you loosen the case back does that make any difference?
