• Upcoming updates
    Over the next couple of weeks we will be performing software updates on the forum. These will be completed in small steps as we upgrade individual software addons. You might occasionally see a maintenance message that will last a few minutes at most.

    If we anticipate an update will take more than a few minutes, we'll put up a notice with estimated time.

    Thank you!

    Help needed with balance wheel assembly

    Thanks Jerry. As you can see in the attached photo to my original post I haven't separated the bridge, spring and wheel so when I offer up the whole piece I can't see where the roller jewel is and if I move/rotate the piece the wheel bounces around on the spring and is difficult to locate in any...

    Help needed with balance wheel assembly

    I'm working on my very first watch, a cheap one given to me by my nephew, and am trying to come to terms with the size of the parts compared to that of the few clocks that I have just started to try and repair.
