hi watchweasol,

 I probably called it by the wrong name, I called it jumpstart but I think its just shorting I have posted my query in the safezone forum I am hoping its a simple fix, otherwise its sending to seiko to fix.

thanks from England

Hi can you post a picture of the watch with the back off so we can see the movement please.   By the way of jump start, I take it it’s a quartz watch and needs a reset after battery change , right.

  Hi.   A watch of this type normally autostarts once the battery is fitted  v7890. It’s from the Seiko/epson, hattoti stable usually replaceable as a movement for £. 10.   to.   15.  I will see what info I can di* up for you.

Hi. Nothing specific on this movement , service data indicates movement change should movement become faulty.   Unable to dig up a service sheet on this movement. Likely places to look for a replacement are  Cousins uk, H.S. Walsh, Gleave and co , A.G. Thomas Bradford.   Esslingers, Jules Borel , Otto Frei , time savers in the US…. There is one thing you can do  and that is buy a demagnetiser or one of these quartz watch test units. £30. And use the line release feature. This moves the hands round quickly in an effort to free off gummed bearings or remove any blockage in the gear train.  Hope you find this useful.

      A lathe with indexing that won't break the bank?

      By coreymsnow · Posted

      Hi folks, I'm doing some homework on getting a watchmaker's lathe, and it's clear I have a lot to learn. But I know one goal: I want to be able to fabricate wheels, which would require an indexing capability. I know how to use large lathes- like, giant metal lathes- but my experience is a few decades old now (but you never forget the smell of the metal cutting oil). So I'm looking to learn anew, and have a goal to get to a point where I can fabricate some basic watch parts. I also have no specific timeframe and want to do this right, so I'll be patient and learn what I need to before spending the money. I know I'm not going to get anything for a pittance, but I'm also not really able to put together the scratch for a $5-$10k lathe. What's out there for a hobbyist that can either handle some fabrication out of the box or can be relatively easily made to do so? Thanks!

      Hello and welcome to the WRT forum.   This usually points to broken balance pivot.  Though a watch in need of clean & lube can do the same. Easiest diag would be to  see if balance pivot doesn't stay in hole jewel of the setting, when you lift one side of balance rim with an oiler or gently with pair of tweezers. Another would be to detach balance complete from the cock and take a look at pivot under high maginfication.  Regs

      Ahhh, yes.  I hadn’t thought of that.  I’ve serviced quite a few of these and the first time I didn’t realise it was a ships strike pattern!  Ha ha, confused me totally until I realised.

      Help with Hermle ships clock

      By Rixy · Posted

      Hi Mike, I did, thanks. Found this clip that was really helpful:   It says Seth Thomas but it's actually the same Hermle I've been working on. I'd had it working correctly all along but hadn't noticed that the lever with the sprung end stops the hammer a bit short of the bell on the second ding at the end of the half-past sequence. If only I'd put the bell on when testing, rather than just looking at the hammer, my ears would have told me it was working,  even if my eyes didn't!
