Hi Repaustria, Thanks for the advice, and the insight. I'd been reading a few books, and have assembled a toolkit over the last couple of years of tinkering. Have not fully pulled down a movement, and don't plan to until I find one that I can work with that doesn't have any emotional attachment. Yes, I understand watchmaking is an art, and I have a healthy respect for it - and those who practice it - they have far more patience & skill than I, however I do relish in finding out how things tick.... Good advice....will simply pick up a sealed eta, methinks and drop it in under the hood. I've done it before with a DOA SMP, however if you have any advice, I'm happy to take it....I'm here to learn. Cheers mate. Best, G.

Hi Guys, I'm looking for a tute or instruction set to service an ETA 2671. I bought one in Malaysia at a street market, but it died after about 4 weeks. I'm sure it's just in need of a lube, however I'm not sure about how to go about this...it's a VERY small movement! If I over-oil it, it will just run fast anyway.... Thanks in advance for the help. Best, G

Try Ofrei - they stock 2671's...about $70..plus shipping..I don't know about the movement ring though...

Amen.....I can only concentrate on one thing at a time...I am a bloke!........... VERY interested in seeing how you go...I have exactly the same problem.. Have tried oilling using an insulin syringe...seems to work, having a fine tip.....

Hi The Zigmeister, I'm having the same problem - I picked up a 2671 ladies datejust at a street market in Malaysia...not bad quality, but I'm presuming it's run dry -It ran well for about a month, but then died (strangely on the same day my son dropped my Pam on the bathroom floor). It now stops running without warning, and runs about 7 seconds fast per hour. I've checked the balance spring, and seems fine....even oiled the staff and replaced the [censored] - still no issue with the balance, but it's pretty dead. I thought I might attempt a service, but I'm not confident enough at the moment to attempt. I realise you haven't done a tute on the 2671, however is there another movement I can look at that can guide me? cheers mate, Best, G

Thanks mate...I'll have a read.

Hi Vbarrett, Thanks for the welcome! Looks like an interesting place to hang out! Cheers... G

Hi TeeJay, and thanks for the welcome. I'm not adverse to a contentious issue....gets the blood running and reminds us we're human! The comments are allbeit interesting - this is a side I have not experienced...I've been watching, buying from and enjoying watches from Joshua for a good 12 months or more...)probably more..forums are a bit of a time warp.. I must admit however, I haven't seen evidence yet to contradict my convictions. If this has happened to you, I feel for you...it's a shame to have your trust betrayed, but I shall remain in my position until I see evidence to the contrary. Again, thanks for the welcome....I've been hanging out at RWG2 (I think?) for a long time - enjoy the crowd, but glad to meet more like-minded (insert obsessed) people. Cheers, G

My two cents. Hi all, nice to meet you......just dropped in from another board and discovered a treasure trove of info, and some pretty hot discussion. Josh & Andrew charge pretty decent prices. They're also competitive. If you bought a Pam at a market in (insert city here), and it didn't work, you'd either cut and run, or get annoyed...either way, you have a dead watch. These guys offer you an alternative. A return policy. Customer satisfaction A sense of security in your business. Quality reps that you don't have to kill yourself to find, or hope that they work after more than a week or two. They've found a market that we all are a part of, and are in a position to supply that market. The cost is perhaps a little higher than the competition in flea markets, or the trash out there that you buy online, but isn't that also a good thing? These guys are gentlemen - and they do the right thing by their customers - they contribute to this society by supplying you that which you most desire. I don't want a discount from these guys...they give me what I want when I order from them....I recommend them when I can to people whom I trust, who are as obsessed with horology and particularly watches as I am. You want a $1200 Brietling with diamonds and garbage all over it? They'll do it...I pray you have better taste, but if bling's your thing... They'll even make sure you get decent quality bling for your money.. If you don't like them, don't buy from them. Personally, I'll buy from them because I don't just get a watch. I get confidence, service and trust. I like what they stand for. If you like to buy garbage, then mod yourself into oblivion, great...if that's what your in to..You're a better person than me.... At the end of the day, it's your choice.
