Welcome to the Brig Farre1981

I gotta say I really admire those who have the skill to work on watches. I don't have the patience or the eyesight, but I really appreciate the precision it takes.

Let's address the hand tremor before discussing the eyesight issue.

Where did you learn your craft, did you do a course or was it just taking watches apart and learning the mechanics?

i started with a dg2813, to me the most difficult movement in the world, i don’t know how the chinese can assemble it. it’s like time bomb, sorry for the pun!!

I'd love to give it a go. I'm a psychometrician by training so most of my work is in statistics, I love precision and complexity.

Where did you learn your craft, did you do a course or was it just taking watches apart and learning the mechanics?

I started with two watches. A sturdy Vostok.
And I succeeded in destroying the balance wheel… then my pride stung me and I fixed it.

Second watch was my wife’s gen Poiray. I sent it to a watchmaker who quoted me an extortionate price. I got back the watch and the fucker had damaged the case when opening it. So I learned to fix it.

Then I stumbled on @Megahz1 5513 Tutorial after @C Master conned me into wanting a 5513…and I thought, I can do that. So I did.

Then the 1016 thread saga

Then the Railmaster challenge, the Metal Moonswatch etc etc

So after this long speech, my thanks to my own teachers and comrades @316lad @KJ2020 @369mafia @Geonor @pompompurin

That is one problem I don’t have.
I can draw perfect circles with any hand or pick a single round lentil with chopsticks.

Yes, I probably need to lay off the vigorous hand relief for a while.

While I can smile at the banter and appreciate the didactic suggestions, this is still a brig thread.
Farzad the scammer... Ahem, the "seller" has been online today (right after post #149) and decided to not contribute in clarifying anything. Farzad the scammer from Sweden shipping from Spain and having car accidents in Germany. A regular Phileas Fogg.

You need an "Oh fuck!!!!" tray. A tray with high sides upon which you can work on your watches. So when that spring bar goes flying or that screw goes tap tap tap tap tap tap ... and you go "Oh fuck!!!!" you find the errant item at the side of the tray

I was forced once to use the old sock over a vacuum trick to look for a wayward screw that fell off my desk into the carpet when I was adjusting a CrPO bracelet. Surprisingly, I was actually successful.

I'm sure it was in fact his "wife" accessing the website on his behalf...

You need a cat....

@Farre1981 come here and explain yourself

@Farre1981 come here and explain yourself

I'm sure his "Friend" will reply on his behalf while his "Wife" looks on disaprovingly....

Sure, I can do that too — just not with a 0.2mm screw or a style 5 tweezer on the balance anti-shock spring.

So let me get this straight tripdog, are you saying the seller is a scammer.. I'm Canadian we are a little thick skulled and slow.

Read through everything, then back 3 pages to reply here. Thick skulled is from playing hockey and taking a few too many pucks to the dome. I mean, Canadians play hockey like Americans pack Hostess snacks in their faces.

Brb, I just Door Dashed a box of Bear Claws and they're here..

@Farre1981 - I've got Bear Claws to share for a small fee that I'd conveniently donate to the OP.

Show up like a man. Not your wife, you. You sound like a true protector my guy. She probably fireman carries you around the house for fun.

You're the reason people like their animals more that human beings.

Make it right.....bro.

We care, quite a bit my friend. A lot of us are also pretty sarcastic, so there's that.

@m5750 when I started playing hockey I did play goalie and probably did take a few to many pucks to the dome and the thick skull did help. The only problem was I could only finish grade three, never graduated grade school and had to quit playing goal (PTSD). So the last few years of playing it was me making sure the goalie would be taking the pucks to the noggin from my shots.
