I wondered why you had 8 spaces left and i had 9. My 0.99 is missing . Heres a thought, the gauges are 50mm long you could make 4 sets from them.

I think some of the smaller ones could quite easily end up in half anyway so maybe not a bad idea to at least cut them in half to start with.

Maybe put a piece of electrical tape in the middle first then you've got something to hold.

That crown vise is nice! Heavy block, really useful when removing an old gasket from a diver type crown. Also inserting a gasket on the stem is easier vs holding the crown and stem with tweezers.

Just bought that, came from china, picked up a couple of little dings on the way which is a bit disappointing and it was practically hanging out of the bag when it arrived 😆. The idea is good the quality not so good, the jaws are different thicknesses so when they come together there is a step so that will need addressing.  For holding crowns i figure a crown winder is a good idea, one of my bench vices has a hole through the jaws for holding jeweller's hand vices

      Replacing, upgrading Ronda 715 Harley?

      By watchweasol · Posted

      With these battery clips , what I do is with a finger cot on cover the coil and release the clip that way if you slip you finger guards the coil,  If you use the hole in the clip to hold the tweezers/probe all is ok. I think more coils are damaged by removing the snap backs without due care and clipping the coil, whick always seems to bl located at the pry point.

      Regulating is too touchy

      By HectorLooi · Posted

      The terminal curve of your hairspring might be distorted. If the curve is perfect, the hairspring should remain in the centre if the gap of the regulator pins when the regulator arm is moved along the entire curve. And adjusting the rate should not affect the beat error. However, reshaping the terminal curve is not easy stuff. Maybe at this beginner's level, getting the watch running is already a commendable achievement.

      Not that kind of backup.  We're talking about a continuity plan if this platform is abandoned or withdrawn.

      my understanding is message boards don't really use much space at all if they're basically just text. as why their websites out there that will give you free message boards of course they control the advertising but they're just text based I thought the message board already was backed up in fact was backed up multiple times? One of the things that is a real killer for message boards is file attachments. As people get faster computers they think nothing of attaching big files. Then we get a lot of big files reattached multiple times a somebody new post the question we will post things again and again and I mentioned there's a heck of a lot of file duplication it be nice to figure out some place to put all the files and not have them on the message board at all. then? The last time I checked Facebook maybe I wasn't paying attention to something? So I just now checked his Facebook watch repair group he was last seen on the 14th and I just don't remember this picture? Maybe could that be what's distracting him?  although he is on the Facebook group may be just doesn't like us anymore?
