Hi,

It's time to introduce myself. My name is Morten, 38 years old. Born and raised in Oslo, where I live with my wife and son. For the last ten years I have been fascinated by watch repair. First as a hobby and the last 3-4 years I have had it as a part time job beside my job as a Paramedic.

My interest beside repairing is also horological history like Breguet, G.Daniels and American pocket watches.

I am a big fan of the watch repair channel and when I saw this forum, I got very excited.

I will try to contribute as much as I can.

Welcome Morten,

You have a busy workbench just like mine. This is a great forum that accommodates all levels of horologists. For me personally I have found this forum invaluable when jobs don,t go exactly to plan. There is always someone who will help or come up with a solution or at least offer sympathy!!!

 

Enjoy

Welcome Morten !!!

Nice workbench too... I'm so jealous of anyone with a workbench... (I have a multipurpose living room table / dining room table / watch workbench / laundry folding table :) )

Hello Morten,

 

Welcome to the forum, that workbench establishes your credentials so I am sure we can look forward to some interesting posts.

You could start with the watch on your wrist or your watch collection or any specialities you have or need info on because we are all inherently curious about other folks watches here.

 

Skål

      Automatic vs Manual movement servicing

      By Klassiker · Posted

      Agreed. There are many different automatic winding mechanisms, each with their own quirks wrt. lubrication. Access to the specific service instructions is the ideal. Otherwise, ask here for advice on the movement you are working on.

      I put the original broken glass (whats left of it) behind the acrylic. This is how it originally looked like. A cheap clock but I like it. Very noisy when the alarm comes wake up guaranteed! 🙂

      Automatic vs Manual movement servicing

      By mbwatch · Posted

      If at all possible, find a service guide for the automatic movements your work on, because the lubrication procedures may have different requirements or rely on oils you would not use in a manual wind train (in addition to the braking grease you mentioned). Some autos like older Seikos do not have a manual wind option, so the procedure of letting down the mainspring without being able to use the crown may require a screwdriver in the ratchet wheel screw and great care. Do you have an auto movement you were planning to start with?

      I am an amateur, so there's that. I do not get fixated on amplitude, lift angles, and beat error. However, 4.8ms would bug me if it were my watch. But you must judge your own skills to appreciate the possibility of going backward. I suggest, that you button it up let your friend enjoy the watch for now. As your skills progress, come back to it and correct it. I assume that this watch has a fixed hairspring pin. Some modern watches have an adjustable pin along with adjustable regulator. These are trivial to get in beat. I own a valjoux 726 my dad gave me on my 18th birthday (a looooong time ago). I broke the ratchet wheel with an aggressive wind 4 yrs ago. I have been waiting for my skills to progress before doing a service. I am close. Your advice is well placed and I will apply it.

      I didn’t find any anomaly to the left of the red mark…reflection? this is the balance in its pivot in the inverted assembly. i can’t see any obvious kinks  and the spring is flat as far as I can see. Either the stud screw is missing, or it’s glued in… I don’t know. I’m loathe to fiddle with it. Any further insights? Thanks!
