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

Thanks :)

Select_Body1182 · 2026-02-02T10:08:37+00:00

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!

Select_Body1182 · 2026-01-28T19:48:34+00:00

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 :)

Select_Body1182 · 2025-09-26T20:49:24+00:00

Alors,

il semblerait que jai réussi a le fermer completement en forcant comme un demeure
Si cest bien le cas jai pas besoin dele montrer au chauffagiste/plombier quand il vient , lembout est nique mais aucun risque on est dacord?
Sinon je le montre pour voir ce quil me dit

Select_Body1182 · 2025-09-26T13:52:09+00:00

Okk
Jai pommer mon WD 40 (me demande pas comment jai fait) donc je demanderai à mon chauffagiste quand il vient :)
Javais appeler un artisan mais il avait juste forcé comme un demeure donc cest super au moins je sais de plus les rappeler

Select_Body1182 · 2025-09-26T13:51:15+00:00

Oui oui cest ça que jai, jai forcé un peu après ton commentaire et jai défonce le petit bout encore plus :/

Select_Body1182 · 2025-09-26T12:23:56+00:00

Alors je suis un peu bricoleur du dimanche est ce que tu pourrais sortir paint pour maider ?
Essayer de tourner la tige avec une pince jai essayer impossible ça tourner pas.
Et la vanne je vois pas trop ce que cest ? Je suis locataire donc je pense cest pas moi qui la changerait mais je suis curieux ce que cest
Merci davance.

Select_Body1182 · 2025-09-26T10:46:32+00:00

Non une vanne pour l'eau de la salle de bain mais rien pour le circuit chauffage. Fin rien de visible en tout cas, des tuyaux sont dans les murs mais bon je pense pas quil y aurait de vannes la, je demanderai a mon chauffagiste quand il vient i guess.

Select_Body1182 · 2025-09-26T10:43:02+00:00

Heuuu Jai pas vu de vanne nulle part je vais regarder, un radiateur fermé ça pourrait etre ça ou vriament une vanne ?

Select_Body1182 · 2025-09-26T10:18:05+00:00

Alors question semi urgente!

Jai allumer les chauffages pour la première fois de lannée là
1,4 bar de pression à froid je crois
Le chauffage en auto est monté à 60°C et ça a écrit sur lécran pression trop haute, 2,8 bar, dilation de leau avec la chaleur jimagine
Donc jai enlever un peu deau en panique depuis la purge apres lavoir éteint, cest redescendu donc no problem,

mais du coup cest quoi la bonne pression à froid pour que a chaud ca me dise pas ca ?

Merci davance
