I'm Zozzle. I'm an apprentice watchmaker here in America. I'm gonna try to leave everything vague about myself and my shop. We can restore anything from TImex battery changes to restoring Patek grand complications that have been water damaged and then hit with a hammer.

My mentor can answer and fix anything given to him. At some point I will be able to do the same. Let me see if I can share some of my knowledge.

Hi Zozzle, Thanks for dropping by.  I am sure that you are doing very well in the apprenticeship and have an excellent mentor. I am just a Jobber Fixer. There are some very skilled people on this forum so all good wishes.

I don't believe this is quite the way you should introduce yourself. There are people here who are masters and people who are just beginning to learn.

All are welcomed here whatever there skill level. All are treated the same.  You well may be able to teach us a thing or two, however you should disseminate your knowledge by answering questions posed by members asking for help. . You will soon be looked to for advice, if your good.

How about letting us decide on our own if we can learn from you.

Welcome to this friendly Forum where we respect every one & there level of skills.

Welcome to this friendly forum. I must say I am not that keen on how you have introduced yourself. I think you need to be a little bit friendlier and kind.

the term zozzle has quite an interesting usage on the internet and reaction to it does not seem positive.  

which appears to be the impetus for the posting in the first place.

Welcome to the forum, it's great to see young guys starting out in their horology career - I wish you all the very best in your training. It's all about sharing knowledge and so you seem to have the right idea.

Incidentally, and don't be offended by this ... would you like me to change your username to something less... childish, if so please fire me a PM? :)

I have looked urbandictionary.com and it reports:

1. characterized by uprightness or morality: a righteous observance of the law.
2. morally right or justifiable: righteous indignation.
3. acting in an upright, moral way; virtuous: a righteous and godly person.

I have not idea if that's correct.

The original thread title was 'eyo'

Looks like that was interpreted to us old folk as 'hey you' - I changed it to a more polite 'hello' ;)

Okay uh.. let me rephrase everything. 

This is the first "serious" watch forum I've been too. I'm surprised there are so many watchmakers here. 

I know quite a lot, but I will spend my entire life learning. Hopefully I can pick up some knowledge here.

      A lathe with indexing that won't break the bank?

      By JohnR725 · Posted

      interesting video nice to see the machine what it can do now I wonder what it costs and I'm sure it's not in my budget. Plus the video brought up questions but the website below answers the questions? What was bothering me was the size of his machine 4 mm because I thought it was bigger than that? But then it occurred to me that maybe they had variations it looks like four, seven and 10. With the seven and 10 being the best because way more tool positions in way more rotating tools. Although I bet you all the rotating tools are probably separate cost https://www.tornos.com/en/content/swissnano   Then as we been talking about Sherline. Just so that everyone's aware of this they have another division their industrial division where you can buy bits and pieces. I have a link below that shows that just in case you don't want to have the entire machine you just need bits and pieces. https://www.sherline.com/product-category/industrial-products-division/   Let's see what we can do with the concept I explained up above and bits and pieces. For one thing you can make a really tiny gear very tiny like perhaps you're going to make a watch. Then another version the center part is not separate it is all machined from one piece. Then fills gear cutting machines have gone through multiple of evolutions. A lot of it based on what he wanted to make like he was going to make a watch unfortunately eyesight issues have prevented that. Another reason why you should start projects like this much sooner when your eyesight is really good or perhaps start on watches first and then move the clocks then local we have from the industrial division? Looks like two separate motors and heads. Then it's hard to see but this entire thing is built on top of a much larger milling machine as a larger milling machine gave a very solid platform to build everything.   Then like everything else that had multiple generations are versions the indexing went through of course variations like above is one version and the one below was the last version. Now the version below I mentioned that previously and somewhere in the beginning to discussion and somebody else had one in their picture. As it is a really nice precision indexing. Then I wasn't sure if I had a the watch photos here is his unfinished watch. No he wasn't going to make a simple watch like none of his clocks were simply either what would be the challenge and that.

      Lab Coats

      Use a Portwest Howie lab coat. They are the biological type so they have tapped cuffs so you don't end up getting the loose cuffs of normal lab coats catching everything.

      Chinese tools debate

      By Titanium · Posted

      Some of the Chinese tools ae great and can be purchased at a fraction of the price of Swiss ones, some are complete garbage and some I'm convinced are coming out the same factory as the branded ones.

      I found this string about this problem. I've not gone through it all, but I believe it also mentions making a spring. If not in this string, the info is online.
