Hallo fellow forum participants

My name is Robert and I recently started watch repairing as a hobby to facilitate the upcoming step into retirement.
In real life I am a chemical engineer working in the environmental business.

My first two movements Lorsa P75A (manual) and Seiko 7009A (automatic) have finally come to a second life.
Though I had several tries on each to learn the basic steps.
Both had defect parts to replace.
A good microscope and hopefully a parts data sheet is the key to me.

What I like to use, besides the common basic watchmaking tools, are two mobile apps: the Timegrapher app and the Lepsi magnetism detection app. They are quite useful and affordable.

My current project is an Omax with an AS 5206 automatic movement that is totally worn out. You can see the gears tilting.
So I will have to evolve some staking skills on that or replace many of the parts.

The next big thing will be a Chronograhe Suisse with a Venus 170 movement from the 1950s...

I hope you guys don't mind another hobbyist thats likes to spend time on tiny moving things 😀

Robert

      Thanks Mark I have uBlock Origin Lite add-on for my Windows Chrome browser, so I've never seen a single ad on this site ! It also removes all adds from Youtube - I couldn't bear to watch it without uBlock

      Thanks Mark, but can we still discuss the other important matter please and not be distracted from it. Thank you.

      You're probably not going to see a dramatic change but you should probably figure out what the lift angle is as it probably is not 52°

      In tandem with my last post regarding the removal of Google Adsense on this website - I have also decided to fully self fund this site as a gift to the watch repair community of which I’ve been a member of, and have benefited from since being extremely lucky to gain an apprenticeship back in the late 80s.    Well, that means that I have also closed down my Patreon account - or, to be clear, stopped all future transactions on my Patreon account and this is with immediate and permanent effect.    not to mention, but I will, I really really do appreciate the contribution all my patreon and PayPal supporters have provided over the years, you guys have been absolutely awesome and helped to keep this forum alive and available for those who might not be able to afford the payments.    again, from the bottom of my heart thank you.

      My pleasure. I would rather pay more than have those annoying ads ruin this site. They were a terrible idea and something I never even saw much, but I was on my iPad yesterday testing a security update for the forum software and it was impossible. I decided then - they had to go!!! Also, co-incided with this, for those who are paying for pattern in order to help fund this site - I’ve just disabled patreon. Future monthly payments will not be taken.  PayPal is a little more complicated. I will try to work out how to cancel the few subscriptions but if you are a PayPal donator then please feel free to cancel the monthly sub.  I will, however thank you all from the bottom of my heart for helping to contribute to this site financially - it means a lot. But going forward, I’m funding it personally from my pocket and that’s the end of it 😄
