Rado Watch Repairs Rado, most famous for their high tech ceramics and hardness of case manufacturing, were formed in 1957 following the successful growth of the Schlup & Co. clockwork factory which was started by three brothers in 1917. Werner, Ernst and Fritz Schlup built the business over a 40 year period until they became Rado Uhren AG [...] Moving to Market Rasen To all my current and potential clients – as a family we have decided to move from Spalding to Market Rasen in Lincolnshire (which is close to Lincoln) and as I work from home this means I will be working from this location as from next week (20th Feb 2012). I will still receive personal [...] Omega Seamaster Co-Axial 2500 In 1999 Omega released it’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 [...] Breitling Watch Repair. Valjoux 7750. 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) – this is usually due to a bent pivot (quite unlikely with Incabloc settings), or lack of lubrication. [...] Vintage Rotary Repair. Making a New Winder Stem This nice old Rotary was handed in for repair with a broken stem and filthy movement. The problem is with the stem. 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 [...] Vintage Rolex Oyster Chronometer Repair This is a very gorgeous watch handed in for repair to our workshop. It was a pleasure to work on. The watch was a complete non runner. 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′s The movement [...] Breitling Chronograph. Valjoux 7730. Rusty I love these vintage Breitling watches. A joy to work on. This one was in quite a used condition as you can see from the initial picture I took: As you may notice – it is a little scratched. Both chronograph pushers are missing. The glass is chipped and scratched. In a quite a sad [...] Tag Heuer. ETA Valjoux 7750 Service The ETA Valoux 7750 is a very popular movement found in TAG Heuer, Breitling, Omega, IWC, Panerai and many other luxury brand watches. It is recommended to service this movement every 3 – 5 years. This watch requires a specific stripping proceedure starting with the ocsillating weight, the dial then the calendar works, followed by [...] Poising a Balance and Positional Error 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 [...] Broken Mainspring ? this one is really gone! An old pocket watch comes in for a routine service. I discover it requires a new mainspring as it is “winding forever”. Upon opening the barrel I come across this: Incredible isn’t it? The mainspring is broken or shattered into many parts. Usually a mainspring will have one or two breaks, but this one is [...]
