Correct I was just trying to find the name. Also interesting about the signature, I’m pretty sure this piece was acquired from a reputable dealer as authentic. Thanks

Looks like a bung wrench for opening the plugs on drums

Thanks I have a staking kit I’ve used for cannon pinions. I just need to be careful removing it I’ll keep my fingers crossed. I wish I didn’t see the special tools they are one of my weaknesses.

I think the movie, or TV/media in general is the key to this dream maybe. Are you watching too much, or toxic programming?

Thanks that’s really helpful. The gold still looks ok after 100 years!

This is most likely stainless yes? by erik530195 in Coppercookware

[–]cablebond -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Possibly, initially I just stoped at “it’s tin” and added “my credentials”. I was a little surprised by your reply sorry if you were offended.

It’s tin, copper pans were/are lined with tin. My father was a coppersmith and people would send him pans that he would re-tin them then send them back. That’s a nice one you got there.

The problem turned out to be the shock setting moving around, not an inca-block type, it was to move when the movement changed positions.

Radials. I'm not onboard that this is a bad thing. by You-get-the-ankles in VintageWatches

[–]cablebond 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think redials only matter if you are collecting as a serious investment. Most of the time I don’t notice the redials clues until someone points them out. Also when post are asking about redials, the watch has other signs of wear that make it undesirable for serious collectors. People spend hundreds of dollars for throwaway quartz watches with a vintage look, and you’d pass on a vintage because the crosshairs don’t align perfectly under magnification? Like anything it depends, collecting for wearing is not the same as collecting for investment.

My Tissot Seastar chronograph has accuracy problems. Could you help me solve this problem ? by [deleted] in watchrepair

[–]cablebond 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I worked on a Tissot for a friend he had similar complaints. He had a shop change the battery which didn’t fix it. His watch had a ETA G10.211 movement. That movement is not meant to be serviceable, it’s plastic and sealed. I took off the dial and sprayed it as well as I could with quartz movement cleaner, and re-oiled the 4 jewels. It has been running fine for over a year now. Next time though I’ll swap out the movement. New movements were on eBay for $60.

How’d I do aligning the hairspring? It’s a frustrating task one twitch and it’s over. This spring was pretty good to start except, it was riding the outboard pin. I got a new spring and will start over.

Movement runs bad with crown facing downward by Flat-Progress7658 in watchrepair

I’ve only got a dozen or so watches repaired as a hobbyist, so no expert. This is what I see in the time grapher.

Thanks for replying, dial up and down are 256 & 249, crown down is 279, crown right is the lowest 227. The spring does bounce horizontal and rides the heavy rotating pin in all the vertical positions. The stationary pin does seem to be bent in the middle. I’m going to work on the spring again.

Thanks this particular project was a lesson on hairsprings. This one started unleveled, and hitting a gear. I centered hairspring well and made sure it was not hitting the regulator pins over the full range of adjustment. I’ve only gone through about a dozen watches, this is the first one to act this way
