I recently started using our government imposed curfew to indulge in my watch passion. I had no idea on how to even change a battery,  but after reading posts and threads from here have become confident enough  to change batteries and water seal my tissot chronograph. Next step is my Tag Heuer aquaracer calibre s regatta. Look forward to carry on reading your posts and topping up my knowledge!

Welcome Ian, enjoy the forum. PS If it as me I would not be working on a Tag until I had gained some experience. Its so easy to destroy a watch.

Thanks clockboy. You're right and the Tag is the long term goal.  My ambition is to be able to service this myself long term whilst adding to my watch collection and indeed be able to maintain all my watches.  For now though,  basic things like changing batteries,  cleaning and sealing o ring gaskets is about my limit.  The next immediate step is to learn how to remove and seal the crown.

      Thanks Mark. I think I’ll leave the beat error for now - it’s a fixed stud so I’d have to adjust the collet position.    The watch has bigger problems. On reassembly I’ve found that the hour counter reset hammer is broken - I didn’t do it, the main hammer part was just not there. Can’t easily identify a replacement part. And the subdial hands. The running seconds hand needs an extended pivot tube as the pivot is below dial level. Can’t find one of them either. I’ve found a central seconds hand that might fit it - going to have a go at cutting, filing and polishing it to make it work.

      Good morning. I have a Caliber 11DO 17 Jewel that I utterly destroyed practicing on. My question is this. Are the 17j and 7j compatible in relation to swapping out parts such as the Wheel Train and Balance? Thank you in advance.

      No Mark it does not offend me. I think I have already started another thread on the matter before you replied. But since you are unwilling to discuss it with us, I will discontinue posting there.  Thank you for considering it though. That's a good policy to have H , you should always safeguard yourself. Knowing who you can trust and who you can't is not a permanent thing. People's values change, people change and adapt to their situations,thats just nature stepping in and running the show. Not everyone is as genuine as you are H. The new no advertising looks much better, it never bothered me much, but it still feels cleaner.  I'm pleased that your thread regarding the missing images was also returned, so thats good news as well. It appears a lot of mine have also been removed ...oh well...🤷‍♂️

      Welcome to the forum. My guess would be to press or lift here.
