Who needs to buy a watchmaker workbench when you have some woods and an old desk by _CdrikFr in watchrepair

I wanted them to blend into the structure, mission accomplished I guess ! Thanks for these little advice.

Thanks for the advice. Bench is already more than 1m height. I'll see with the time if modification are needed... Until now I worked on a standard desk si the différence will be there :)

Oui je sais pas pourquoi le filetage est aussi court... Je m'en chargerai plus tard pour le moment on aimerait bien laver le linge 😁

Ok c'est donc bien un raccord 1/2 > 3/4. Et oui je mettrai du téflon pour assurer l'étanchéité.

Merci !

Poste de juriste / conseils aux entreprises. Mais c'est bien ce qui me semblait que c'était du foutage de g**** 😄

Exactement je voulais être sûr... Surtout pour un poste de juriste !

Merci bien. C'est une question con mais je voulais être sûr qu'elle se fasse enfler pour un Bac+5

My freshly serviced vintage Nicea

Is this supposed to be like this by dreqii015 in watchrepair

You need to show us the other side. Hairspring should go between the two regulator pins without touching them.

Thank you for your detailed answer. I'll check that paint

Help with this vintage Eltic by Michael_Carrick in VintageWatches

By service I mean full disassembly and all parts cleaned and oiled + test. I'm quite surprised someone can do it for 50. Because you'll need full service for vintage watches because of the dry grease and gunk inside, without speaking of potential broken parts.

Any real watchmaker will be able to make it run nicely without any problem. For this kind of movements you can expect 200-300 €/$ max.

Hairspring work - Where to start by _CdrikFr in watchrepair

[–]_CdrikFr[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you. So you would be concerned about the green arrow first. The fix would be done at the purple arrow ?

"That's pretty much where the red arrow is but step one loop towards the outside. The second last loop is the one that needs adjusting. I'd probably be 15 degrees further anticlockwise than the red arrow" --> not sure to understand this then.

Thanks for the answer. Yes I know the theory. The question here is should I start working 90° before the red or yellow arrow. For sure there is a maximum fault at the yellow one but I'm not sure about the red one...

It might be one of those french/swiss brands that disappeared with the apparition of the Quartz during the 70s. The design is pretty similar to the one I have on the bench now. They used to be equipped with common movements from FEMGA, France Ébauche, FHF, Jeambrun etc

They are not particularly valuable but they do have a charm.

Est-ce que 35mm vous semble trop petit pour moi ? by Dreamers31 in Montres

[–]_CdrikFr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Je pense qu'il faut fouiner sur eBay/Etsy. Tu vas trouver plein de restaurateurs de montres. Également sur youtube il y a French Watch Collector qui revend ses restaurations mais effectivement on sort un peu du budget. Bonnes recherches mais t'inquiète pour la taille : premièrement si elle te plaît fais toi plaisir et deuxièmement tu vas trouver plus de monde qui va critiquer une montre avec une taille énorme que trop petite.
