		<description><![CDATA[In 1999 Omega released it&#8217;s calibre 2500 movement with a Co-Axial escapement. The co-axial escapement was a revolutionary system developed by George Daniels (a British watchmaker) which, in effect, reduced friction and thus virtually eliminating the requirement for lubrication in the escapement of the watch. Theoretically this ensures greater accuracy over time and reduces the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Breitling watch repair. Valjoux 7750. This watch was recently serviced incorrectly. I found several issues and one glaringly obvious fault. First of all it was aparent that the balance wheel was not turning correctly (sort of sticky) &#8211; this is usually due to a bent pivot (quite unlikely with Incabloc settings), or lack of lubrication.

The movement has no calibre and does not appear in any of our reference books so I have no choice other than to make a new winding stem from scratch. I do this [...]]]></description>

The case was quite scratched and it needed a new glass. Nice clear dial with off-centre seconds. Screw-down pendant. I guess this is most likely 1930&#8242;s The movement [...]]]></description>

This one was in quite a used condition as you can see from the initial picture I took: As you may notice &#8211; it is a little scratched. Both chronograph pushers are missing. The glass is chipped and scratched. In a quite a sad [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[One of the important things to consider when regulating a watch is positional error. Positional error occurs on mechanical watches and can be caused by many factors. These factors could include a poorly sprung balance spring (out of true), a worn or bent balance staff pivot, not enough (or too much) oil on the balance [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[An old pocket watch comes in for a routine service. I discover it requires a new mainspring as it is &#8220;winding forever&#8221;. Upon opening the barrel I come across this: Incredible isn&#8217;t it? The mainspring is broken or shattered into many parts. Usually a mainspring will have one or two breaks, but this one is [...]]]></description>

Many professional Jewellers will never attempt to open a Breitling for a watch battery replacement for fear of scratching the back. And whilst some will have [...]]]></description>
