A good application of a leather feed or wax will help the softening followed by a lot of wearing.

Normaly by simply moving the regultor arm towards the plus to speed it up or the minus to slow it down,how far out is it? This might help, i have not seen it my self as i cant view vids at work but give it a try

Now i could undersand this if it was a seconds@ 6 but ziggy broke down the new seconds @ 3 movement and gave it a big thumbs up due to all the new jewels used to transfer the drive to 3, it is now a 34 j movement have a look.

I would think that the retainer ring would be the best solution, like the one in siltys post, i have found these in a couple of vintage watches and seam to do the job well, the problem here is finding one that would fit?? the original being to large and you want to use it to put the other flytimer back together. If you had another that was either too large or too small you could split it on the oporsit side to the crown and puchers to alown it to shrink or grow to match the circumference of the movement and the case back presure will then hold it in place maybe

Pr should be 42? hours on this but you never really know if it was fully wound when you take it off, if the collector will swap it fine, I keep my autos that i wear regularly on a winder so i dont have to worry about low PR when i first put them on so i am also never tempted to wind them by hand.

How long did the watch run for before it eventualy stopped?

I had a similar problem with an asain one, it was the ratchet gear that holds the main winding gear not being at the right height, luckily alli had to do was tighten down the main gear and it brought it back in line,

I have a couple of my wine coloured 26mm straps laying on the desk, have a look in my sig and see if you like the style.

The gold Ap Neil,very nice purchase, Not a great fan of the dial colour but a nice watch wear it well.

There is no way i could affored to have the gens i like and even they are cheep gens but now with the super reps i have some great time peices that are worth what we pay for them, Like TJ said it is the inflated prices of gens that puts him off, well me too, Reps all the way even if i could afford all the gens i could want i would not buy them.

Welcome Im sure you will like it here!

I think she would look great with a 177h, but she would look great no matter! congratulations, try the 177, or the white one!

Was out toa dinner night last night so i thought i would see how the black seal looks with french cuffs, looked good but as soon as got home it was back to the fish! no new shots as i have just blown my desk top up!

I would have to agree with Tootall hand made means you use hand tools not machine tool in this case.

Never had a problems with UK customs just with "Parcel Farce" but using Presious Time Narika or Homer now he is listing here should be nice and easy in the UK and even the rest of the EU

Gone as far as i can see

Sorry i just cant get it off Top one by the way the one on the bottom is a Gen

You might be just as well getting a swiss SFSO as by the time you have bought a better crystal you would be at least haslf the price of the swiss and then with a relume then well over the cost of the swiss, i am not saying the the lume is perfect on the swiss but it is ok but that AR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

Congratrulations V, I hope that all goes well for you and your family.
