Innanzitutto un saluto a tutti voi del forum.

Sono nuovo di questo sito e. sono appassionato di orologeria; mi piacerebbe imparare come riparare gli orologi.

Benvenuto, please be aware this is an English language forum, even if some members can read and write Italian or will stretch to help you out, it is you that will have to use a translator all the time.

I can't write or read Italian, so English please.

I find the link below really good when people insist on not using English on the English discussion group. Surprisingly the message above seems to translate very readable unlike a lot of technical things where sometimes things get lost in the translation.

You are reading the result of 57 years of non stop study of English.

During the said period I have not watched a single move in my own language, nor red a newspaper or book in farsi, went through my higher education in the US, my first wife was all American with whom we are responsible for birth of my son who lives in the US.

Kind of you to say you can understand what I am trying to say, but don't you instantly recognise this composition by a non native.

Without communication mankinds scietific potential is doomed to stalemate.

 Tremendous efforts are being made to develope electronics translation to a usable state, lets wish those at this most valuable work good luck.

The point is about people using their own language even when out of place and not the availability or correctness of translation, we all know that is enough to right click in Chrome for that. I think is fair to inform new members about that.

      Who's doing what in the world of watches today.

      By mbwatch · Posted

      No it's not 52. I had looked at the Pocket Watch lift angles thread, which lists Elgin 6s as something really high like 62° but visually that is not at all what this watch is doing. I think 42° is more correct and that's where my machine is setup. The watch has a million problems but I have made solid progress. Impulse jewel replaced. Hairspring didn't match the balance (which also doesn't match the serial) but I got it down into range this weekend with 8 or 10 huge timing washers. Replaced the mainspring, balance and train are nice and free. At this point it is running consistently and in beat at about 160°, the third wheel has a bend that sends the timegrapher on a little roller coaster every 8 minutes or so. Remaining amplitude problems may be down to the escapement. The banking pins were way out and it didn't run at all before I started. It has one of the old brass escape wheels rather than steel, and I assume the faces its teeth are probably worn or scored in a way I can't yet fix (or see without a microscope). I know this watch is not going to run above 250° but I am going to keep trying to get above 200. But the best part about this watch? Some unscrupulous person stamped "21 JEWELS" on the train bridge sometime in the past, right on top of the Damascening. It's a 15 jewel movement.

      I think it would rather be the blast of high current drain that would do the damage. But if used occasionally to maybe fix a mainspring or do dial feet it might be worth trying especially if the mainspring or a replacement couldn’t be found.    Tom

      This is indeed a unique site and members including myself genuinely care about it.  All we want is the site to continue.

      Hello Mark,  thank you for the ad removal , like JohnR725 , I appreciate any revenue from such would be helpful.  This is the one forum which encourages conversation and social interaction and in that sense it is unique  All the others I frequent can be a little intimidating and answers some what terse some quite rude. I think on here we try to do justice to your site in keeping with your principals. In my opinion it is like no other. The contributors  behave and act like gentlemen and ladies. And long may it continue to be so.

      The high voltage will take a toll on the battery but if used occasionally such a the proposed bridle welding I guess if it works it’s worth the price of a battery.
