Or the courier as these items were delivered.

My last order of items from Cousins.

Finally I have everything I need to be able to use my ultra sonic cleaner for clocks and the grease for the keyless works on watches, so I'm now finally set up for servicing clocks and to be able to strip down and clean, oil and reassemble watches.

I'm still not completely set up for replacing cracked jewels on watches, but atleast I can start on watches now.

I'm quiet excited, the next big hurdle is to convince the wife and kids that a small corner of the games room needs to have my workbench set up in it. I've still got my $1000 from my scholarship sitting in its envelope waiting to pay for my work bench and LED light and I want to get it.

Picture of my latest delivery which includes Bergeon green watch lume kit so I can also now try my hand at reluming hands.

I am able to track my order from work using my cellphone. I knew the order was at my mailbox at 10:30 in the morning. :) Then I have to suffer through the rest of the day...:(

Just got the mobius 9010 the 8200 and the bergeon oiler set and the horotec 2.5 mm hand lifters and silicone grease and a set of oil cups. almost have all the oils for pocket and wristwatch oiling. Have to buy the oil a bit at a time along with small tool orders. If I keep the orders around $200 or less it raises no eyebrows from the missus...

I know that feeling.

It's only taken me 5 months, but I finally have all the oil and grease for clocks and manual wind wristwatches.

I still haven't got the final oil for pocket watches yet...

Just love new toys !

I try to get to the post before my wife (the sensible one in my wonderful marriage of 41 years) to squirrel away my goodies. Don't know why as I always own up or get found out anyway.

Cheers,

Vic

I know that feeling @Vich Trouble is I'm usually at work when the post comes I then usually get the text  ANOTHER parcel has arrived for you.

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

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

      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 😄

      Thank you Mark it definitely makes the site looked much nicer. Although I didn't mind the ads as long as it helped to pay for the messageboard but sometimes when you had the feeling that there were more ads than message board yes it was a little annoying. Thank you
