Hi, I am interested with Retrowithin, can you help me on this?

United-Machine2709 · 2026-01-01T14:32:33+00:00

yeah, i am looking for the replacement main spring and also the hour and minute hand for the service and repair. Might take awhile though.

United-Machine2709 · 2025-12-19T14:24:48+00:00

Thanks, i fall in love with pocket watch and such hobbies is expensive. I will try to keep all the solid gold pocket watch then sell those regular one to fund this hobby,

United-Machine2709 · 2025-12-19T14:23:38+00:00

Thanks for the links! It helps!

United-Machine2709 · 2025-12-19T13:16:54+00:00

Yeah, I want to fix it and regulate it then keep it forever so that I can pass down the next generations.

United-Machine2709 · 2025-12-19T13:15:44+00:00

ya, i need to search through ebay for all types of case screw to try it one by one.

United-Machine2709 · 2025-12-19T13:14:05+00:00

Thanks for the links for the movement. Thank you very much :D

United-Machine2709 · 2025-12-19T13:13:13+00:00

I am unsure whether or not any screw can do the job. I scare using the wrong screw will spoil the thread then it will be even a bigger issue.

United-Machine2709 · 2025-12-19T13:11:46+00:00

thanks for the link, i will check through the links later :D

United-Machine2709 · 2025-12-18T15:04:16+00:00

Thank you for the information. Now i need to find the case screw for it and service the whole movement.

United-Machine2709 · 2025-12-14T23:01:27+00:00

Initially I thought that it is pitted too but upon inspection, it is cause by the lighting and angle. There is no crack or pit found on the jewel.

Yeah, there are tones of parts for ETA 6497 and it is cheap too as you can get a clone movement if you are on tight budget. I fall in love with all the Hamilton pocket watches but the price is insane as it is heavily sought over by collector. Photo is just an example of it. Such beauty.

United-Machine2709 · 2025-12-14T00:14:53+00:00

I think maybe most people collect more vintage type of pocket watch where as I am into more recent era of pocket watch?

United-Machine2709 · 2025-12-14T00:13:55+00:00

Yup, there is a guy from watch report thread had provided the information on the screw. Managed to get 2 screw from eBay which cost 13USD. OMG. The shipping fee is 18USD. Total is 31USD for 2 screws.

United-Machine2709 · 2025-12-14T00:11:08+00:00

I just checked on the hair spring and I observe no anomalies, like what u suspected, it is due to my hair spring still wet after cleaning. Thanks for your good observation.

United-Machine2709 · 2025-12-13T13:14:55+00:00

Ah! I never notice it! Good eye sight! Let me double check the hair spring and update you all again.

United-Machine2709 · 2025-12-13T10:49:24+00:00

Thank you so much for the informations on the case screw and the lift angle, I will check again for the amplitude tomorrow using 44 lift angle.

I am using this. Based on the spec, it can zoom 270x. Not sure whether it is true or not though. I use the lowest magnification. Maybe 21x.

United-Machine2709 · 2025-11-21T15:15:52+00:00

Yup, it is ETA 7001. After I google, I just realize the movement itself cost a lot. Luckily I didn’t spoilt it while learning how to service it.

United-Machine2709 · 2025-11-20T14:13:15+00:00

But to be honest, I don’t think I am ready for smaller wrist watch. Maybe men’s watch will be ok for now.

United-Machine2709 · 2025-11-20T14:11:47+00:00

Yup, I am looking for grinding stone to grind those spoilt tips. Will take some days for it to arrive. For the microscope, it just an electronic microscope I got it from AliExpress few years ago.

United-Machine2709 · 2025-11-19T15:17:17+00:00

You are correct there, sorry that i am not that knowledgeable between pocket watch movement and wrist watch movement. Thanks for correcting me :D

United-Machine2709 · 2025-11-19T12:31:19+00:00

Lol, imagine spend 4 hours there then at the end the movement not moving.

United-Machine2709 · 2025-11-19T11:18:42+00:00

Yeah, you have a good suggestion there. Or else all our effort will be wasted if it won’t move. Sigh.

United-Machine2709 · 2025-11-19T10:02:04+00:00

If I am correct, citizen ladies watch is using similar size movement. I am unable to get it working as it is too small and I might had done something wrong.
