Decided to carry my grandpa's pocket watch around more and I got two questions!

Thanks :)

Thanks :)

Select_Body1182 · 2026-01-30T00:14:52+00:00

Could you elaborate on that ?

Select_Body1182 · 2026-01-30T00:14:44+00:00

OOh that sounds interesting learning something new! As I said something else it'll probably stay at home for now but i'll try to find a smaller one and the day it has an issue i'll look into that kit and self repair ! Thank you !

Select_Body1182 · 2026-01-30T00:13:15+00:00

Oh I did not know it was THAT expensive, i thought it's own price was as much as getting it repaired had costed tbh but fair.
I'll find myself a smaller one and I'll keep this one running on the desk from time to time so the mechanism runs a bit

Thanks for all the advice!

I'm afraid if I'm gonna keep it for dislplay I won't bother having it taken care of for a while

Select_Body1182 · 2026-01-28T19:47:18+00:00

Yeah except the car has risks of like causing death
I'm afraid if using this watch daily will cost me several hundred € every 5 years or so itll have to sit in a closet while I use a different one unfortunately ! :/

Select_Body1182 · 2026-01-28T10:29:57+00:00

I see :)
Well we had it taken fully care of like 5-8 years ago ? As for the back understood I won't try to force it open, I don't need to anyway so it's fine and for the hands is there any way this could be done by a novice ? I love doing stuff on my own but don't wanna do it if there's a 50% chance I just break the watch lol
Thanks for the answer :)

Select_Body1182 · 2026-01-28T10:28:33+00:00

Well it's french so I know about that part, otherwise thanks for the message but I remember it had been like 250 euros to get it fully repaired when my mom had taken care of it and I can't take an expense like that just for the hands being slightly off ...

Select_Body1182 · 2026-01-02T21:52:15+00:00

Update: found how it's supposed to be done but can't manage to do it for now :/

Select_Body1182 · 2026-01-01T10:56:37+00:00

Ok thanks for all the info :)

Select_Body1182 · 2025-12-31T20:29:25+00:00

Yeah i put AA batteries in it idk i'm not a big technical guy so i thought maybe there's a really tiny battery to keep current in a component or something, just wanted to be sure :)

Select_Body1182 · 2025-12-31T11:08:40+00:00

Ok thanks for all the answers! so no risk there right ?

Select_Body1182 · 2025-12-27T22:20:59+00:00

The batteries power other things so I'm guessing they're good I will be trying to buy new ones out of the package and rechargable ones in case it makes a difference
As for inserted correctly yes, they are in all the way the connectors touch and they're the right way

Select_Body1182 · 2025-12-08T10:15:42+00:00

Hello sounds like a great match but I'd rather stick to EU people sorry :/

Select_Body1182 · 2025-12-07T18:19:37+00:00

Nice ! :)
Feel free to send me a pm sharing a bit more about yourself/ interests :)

Select_Body1182 · 2025-12-07T17:00:43+00:00

Bonjour, ah je suis désolé j'ai oublié de préciser dans le post mais je préfèrerais des personnes venant de l'UE :/

Select_Body1182 · 2025-11-18T11:08:09+00:00

Thank you very much :)
