Eyup evening (UK) watch folk. You may or may not know i like to make my own stuff for the watch repair addiction. Thats the Yorkshireman in me, i got a bit bored with my movement cushion so i decided to procure some ideas of what makes the perfect material to work on. You may not use a cushion, i seem to switch back and forth with a cushion and a holder but there are things that a cushion makes easier to do and its often faster. I have no idea 💡 of what the shop bought stuff is made of so or how good it is to work with so i need some input there to educate me. So here is my play around table loaded with bits of allsorts . Paper, cardboard, cork, mdf, different rubbers , different foams, insulation board, polystyrene . The lead pennies are to weight down the tins tubs I've bin using to make cushions/dust protectors ( cool idea if i say so myself🎺 <- thats my trumpet ) bigger tins are on route. Who's broken a sub second pivot on a watch cushion ? -
Pinned. Like I said, not comfortable doing that level of horological brain surgery at this stage of my learning journey (I’m three years in). I’m really happy to have diagnosed the problem and gotten the movement to run very solid at this point (after having disassembled and reassembled the balance about 6 times to get it as far as it would go). At this pointI the movement timing numbers in all six positions are very solid and a smidgen of adjust is still left. Besides if I muck it up, which I figure is better than 50/50, I’ll have to purchase a balance complete since I don’t keep any spares on hand.

Hello! Anybody have any idea of who is replacing the tritium tubes? I have a watch i wear strictly when im out running heavy equipment or on the fires and its an old Tawatec EOD divers watch and the "Trigalight tritium" tubes are not lighting up any longer. If i hold a bright flashlight on them some of them light up for few seconds at best so figure its time to have dial redone. I know on my Rolex Subs and Dwellers its a different type of illumination and i thought the Tawatec used tubes and not paint or painted markers etc. Anyhow, any help would be great as this watch is still in fantastic working condition as looks solid still so would like to get it done. Thank in advance for any help!
