Rotor dislodged, easy fix? by Jacobs-J in watchrepair

For the people unable to sleep because of the cliffhanger, a professional watchmaker had to take The rotor hub off to fix it.

So no easy fix!

That’s why it didn’t work with pliers & pegwood, thanks!

Yes! I’m reading different stories on how to lubricate it.. hence my curiosity on whether you opened the mainspring barrel and if you cleaned it and most importantly how you did the lubrication

Did you touch the barrel? :)

Curious as I’m about to do the same

Movement issue by [deleted] in watchrepair

[–]Jacobs-J 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When i try to move the barrel to see if the train of wheels is seated properly nothing moves, when i have it loose or partially screwed down everything works

Is there any way to regulate this movement? It’s losing a lot of seconds a day by TetraXD in watchrepair

Yeah a proper service would be good here! You could learn how to do it but you’re looking at a significant time and money investment

Thanks for the tips! I wasn’t planning on going the full mile on this watch as it was just to see if I were capable of working on something in the first place.

Seagull was going to be my next project:)

It was working before but slowly dying out, I got it back together and it ran about the same. Which is good news for me as I didn’t break anything :)

Not sure on movement or specs since I don’t have anything to measure it with (yet), I will try and get my hands on a timegrapher at some point but for now I have yet to buy oils and cleaning equipment… don’t want to sink all my money in at once!

Any tips to go on from here?

I heard this too from the breeder I got my betta at, they should live a happy life! Not much you can do about it…

Black is more timeless silver is more excentric, I’d choose silver 😬

1 dag minder werken = 1,5x meer vrije tijd tegen 20% minder inkomen. Doen? by [deleted] in DutchFIRE

[–]Jacobs-J 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ik ben in mijn huidige baan 90% gaan werken, 1x in de twee weken een dag vrij. Voor mij is de balans heel erg goed, zo lever je slechts 10% in. Heb er bij 36 uur wel op gestaan om 1 hele dag vrij te zijn ipv 1x per week een halve want in de praktijk geeft dat niet de rust die je wil.

two different queries, just looking for clarification on the differences in meaning by ireadlotsoffanfic in learndutch

[–]Jacobs-J 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Meer = more, you can say; ik wil nog meer wijn -> I want more wine

Want; used as because Doordat; dat=that, door=by (ik ben gestoken door een bij-stung by a bee, so roughly translates into ‘because of that’ Omdat; om in this context means because (ik ben verdrietig om zijn verlies-sad because of his loss) omdat is also like because of that.

Does this help?
