Good morning folks: I am looking to have my 1940s Mido wristwatch repaired.  I posted previously about it and the radium which is present on the dial.  Can someone refer me to an experienced watchmaker, preferably (but not necessarily) in the pacific northwest (USA), whom I could contact about the repair.  The watch has little monetary value but high sentimental value.  Feel free to post or DM me.  Thank you.  Arron.

Pacific Northwest is a pretty big area unfortunately the number of watchmakers is relatively small. Here's a place of does watch repair no idea whether they would do this overall although it does say on the website they do restoration.

      Help with Hermle ships clock

      By watchweasol · Posted

      Hi Mike I did a ships clock a long while ago, not a Hermle though and without getting the beast in my hands to refresh my memory I can’t recall the timing.  This doesn’t help I know but will start the grey matter turning.

      Help with Hermle ships clock

      By Rixy · Posted

      I have stripped and cleaned a Hermle ships clock. It was just oily, no major faults, and I reassembled it, following my photos in reverse order. The time train is fine but the strike train will not play the ships bell strike for half-past. Ships bells play a four hour sequence for the 'watches' and play double 'ding' for the hour and the double dings plus one for the half past (eg half past the second hour is 'ding-ding' 'ding-ding' 'ding'). Sounds complicated but it isn't really. The strike wheel consists of pairs of bumps (for the ding-ding) and no single bumps. There must me some mechanism on the half-past that lifts the strike lever over one of the bumps so only one ding is played. When I get to a half past, it still plays double ding. I have a feeling it is to do with the lever in front of the rack (there is a sprung attachment  on it) and the position of the wheel (to the right) with the two pins that lets that lever fall, but no matter where I place that wheel I cannot get a single ding at half past! Please can someone help with advice on positioning so I can fix this? BTW Happy Easter 🐣
