Hi!

I've been on this forum for years, but i was just reading and now I would like to introduce you to my work on restoring watches. I have started a YouTube activity and need your support. I am attaching my first video and if you can please writ…

I have recently discovered the Omega Apnea and as one who has rebuilt a lemania 1345 a number of times am intrigued as to the construction of the Depraz module and why an eta base was used with the depraz module and not the lemania 1340 but can find no…

I have a late 1940s Seiko that I just got in yesterday, and I'm pretty sure somebody tried to oil it (liberally) with olive oil about 50 years ago. The whole movement side was covered in a thick layer of a dark neon green substance that had basica…

So this watch showed up with a pretty jacked up hairspring- two significant bends out of flat, with several smaller bends out of round, and a couple coils touching. I have worked it into flat and what I believe is a good enough roundness to run, except…

I'd like to change the case on my watch, from a Turtle with no outer bezel to a dive style with external rotating bezel. However my movement has an alarm, and so it has two crowns… one at 2 O'clock and one at 4 O'clock. Where should I …

I just finished refurbishing a Waltham grade 620 in a hunter case.
It had a fair amount of issues that I had to work through, but probably the coolest part was fitting the new crystal. ( I got it with no crystal).
Now, I know I have boasted about Whit…

I removed this movement from a Hamilton Khaki Field Quartz . Follow the instructions and push the right little button to take it out. But when re-inserting the stem, it moves in and out without resistance will not lock into place. Appreciate any and al…

Good afternoon, so having taken my Certina Jubile (circa 1988) to have it's gaskets replaced, and a new battery fitted, I find it is running around 1 second fast per day. I decided to have a quick look inside the case to be certain of the movement…
