Hey Everyone!
It's been a really long time since I've posted....7 months!!
Primarily been posting over on Instagram, give me a follow there! I try to post weekly with stuff I'm working on.
Instagram : https://www.instagram.com/krewekrono/
And as always, if you need any work on your watches, feel free to reach out. Email is below, and that is my preferred method. I'm booked to April 2025, so not running too long of a wait right now.
Also, keep in mind I still stock a decent amount of parts for customers. I keep the following in stock, and I can get other stuff relatively quickly if needed.
- Crystals, all popular models
- Crowns, all popular models
- Tubes
- Retaining Rings (11, 12, 116710) and Clicks for GMTs
- Crystal Gaskets
- Hytrels
- Date wheels (All popular models)
- Some hands
- Reversers
- Barrels
- Bezel Rings
- Balance Wheels (No 4130 as that's exchange only)
Some interesting things I've come across in the last several months....picture heavy....
Got the chance to work on an Omega 8500 movement. Was a pleasure to work on, and well made. The coaxial escapement was a pain to lubricate, but if you take your time and have good magnification, it isn't too bad.
Had a 3035 that gave me quite a bit of pain. Had three major issues. Second wheel was bent, minute pinion was the older style with the plastic jewel setting and this was worn, and the third wheel was warped. The third wheel took me some time to find, as the error would only manifest every 8 minutes. But once I saw that, and threw the wheel on some truing calipers...if was apparent. But at the end it was brought within spec.
And lastly how about some 3235 goodness. Such a nice movement, and very service friendly.
Thanks for looking!

Excellent work! Brave of you to take on the Omega. I've stopped working on them due to lack of spare parts (and maybe some willingness on my part).
Love seeing your nice clean photos. Crazy how far you've come.
