Good day everyone!   Once again, I am in need of your assistance. I have an Omega cal. 321 in a CK2907 case that was/is not running. Upon first inspection, I found that a broken winding pinion was blocking the movement. While taking the movement apart, I noticed some dirt in the channel where the chrono minute shaft goes. A closer look revealed that the shaft where the stem end rests was damaged, assuming due to the watch falling on the crown at some point? As a result, the two channels were interconnected, and the residue from the keyless works spread, causing wear on the top of the main ..read more

Hi everyone! So I've started a new project, a Seiko 7025-8099.  Its seen better days as you can see.  At the moment the bezel is missing and original replacements for what I have found are nowhere to be found.  Does anyone have any ideas of other models bezels that may fit or of a reproduction bezel that is available?  Any information would be greatly appreciated ..read more

Good Afternoon everyone   A friend has a Seiko perpetual calendar with an 8f32 movement. She took it back to the high street Jewellery chain store where she originally purchased it to have a new battery fitted. They informed  her that the watch "was dead". When I removed the back the first thing I noticed was the lack of battery. On closer inspection I noticed there was Damage to the coil and after taking a closer look at things there seems to be damage to the circuit board. I am aware that these movements are obsolete and are no longer available nor is the circuit board.   Unfo ..read more

I am attempting to build a watch with a full words day disk that extends over the date wheel. It also extends over the dial post holes on the movement. This case comes with a movement extention for that. The dial did not come with a larger dial spacer to acomodate for this. Does the movement extention act as the spacer as well or do I need to come up with something to space the dial? Thanks ..read more

Found this video on YouTube. This is how a professional poises a balance wheel to a very high degree of accuracy. Most large variations when regulating a watch in different positions is normally caused by the hairspring or the poise of the balance wheel.   ..read more

Im curious to know if any of you fine folks know how to exchange a rotor on the ETA 2824, by which i mean retaining the centre bearing and swapping the old rotor weight for another. Is the bearing a push/friction fit/removal ? I know on the 2892 and other models to use the removal tool but i want to be sure before i damage any parts. I have looked through my ETA Technical communications but there is no explaination for the procedure so i figured one of you fine chaps might know the correct method. Any help will be gratefully received ..read more

Hi all, hope your having a good day! I have finally got back to restoring a Landeron movement, a personal project I started a while back. I believe it is an early cal. 48 although it may be a 47? The balance was one of the many issues with the watch. With a broken pivot on the staff and the balance spring beyond fixing, without buying professional tools finding a complete balance would be the easiest way for me to fix the issue. I am at a complete loss as to what balance I need; I know its a non-incabloc, possibly made by either Barbell or Renata but I'm not sure what I should be lookin ..read more
