Hello, Working on an as2066, needed a new balance wheel and cock, got the whole assembly from a donor but when I put it in, the new balance assembly clearly gets stuck on the pallet fork. Removed the pallet fork, the balance wheel goes great with healthy amplitude, breaks as soon as I put the pallet fork in. It does not get stuck like in an overbaking case, the cock on this caliber allows for adjustment of banking, I highly suspect the mismatch between the balance wheel and the original fork. Any recommendations ..read more

Hi Everyone,  I have a 1980 Timex Q quartz watch that was a graduation gift and hasn't worked in 20 years (battery corroded). I bought a working one off of EBay and want to swap to movement. I've seen online all it takes is pulling the crown/stem out and the movement, face and all comes right out. Not this timex. I looks like there is a ridge round the case and some sort of metal fingers at need to be bend to remove movement? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!  Thanks!   Kevin ..read more

Hello Team, I have restored an nice specimen of Seiko DX 6106-7589 and struggle with the hands now. Can anyone please share the sizes for original baton style hands - diameter and length? The one you see in the picture is from nh35 spares I have, not original. Those hands are larger and don't fit. I hope those are interchangeable to a a degree, so looking for some other model I could find a donor hands from. Thank you ..read more

So a friend asked me to change the battery on his wife's Cartier Tank Quartz. It has a Cartier/Ebel 81 movement which I believe to be equivalent to the Frederic Piguet 8.20  calibre. As it turns out the watch was subjected to moisture in the past and the battery was also corroded :(. A new battery didn't fix the issue - so I decided to clean it. Upon disassembly one of the battery strap screws was corroded into place - it took some creativity to wrestle it out. But now, careful inspection seems to indicate that the 2 strap screw posts are actually fit in place with what looks to be either ..read more
