Can't think of a more deserving person right now Cats. Let the awesome, positive vibes help you get through this little rough patch! All the best my friend!
Well after some trial & error I managed to get it back together and up and running.... kind of. It is pretty erratic. The movement came to me with issues of stopping after a short time. This seems to have gone away, but the timing is all over the place. Obviously it needs a thorough service (which I am not quite ready to do yet), but I am curious if anyone can tell me what would make the movement behave this way?
Here is a screen shot of the timing software:
Hello fellow watch movement experts. Need some advice here. Working on a 2824 and I have a question. When you take the train wheel bridge assembly apart, is there a good trick for putting it back on and having all the jewels line up with the gear train pivots? I can get it to go back on after many, many trial & error attempts, but there has to be a good trick for this.
Or perhaps its just a lot of practice?
+1.... way more fun, and you can spread out the cost. You didn't pay $6k all at once. Makes it a lot easier to do.
Well done! That is one impressive looking piece!
Have a great time M! I went to one restaurant many years ago that was amazing but for the life of me I cannot remember the name of it. I have a postcard from there at home which I will see if I can find later on tonight.
So will you be wearing your birthday present (i.e.: the 1655) while shopping all the AD's?
