Hmm, Why do my serious posts always seem to take an exit onto the road to drinking or general gallivanting 😆
Thanks for your replies gents, I’m doing this on a phone so please excuse any grammatical/spelling errors..
David, out of all those words, you picked up on Bud 😆 but yes, you’re right, a loose term in reference to beer, I was going to use suds, but it always reminds me of soap. We also call Budweiser, Buttwiper, mainly due to the effect the following day
Paul, again, thank you for the offer and I will keep that in mind.
William, stay tuned for my daft bat revelation….
When I received this watch, I think two years ago, It had a load of things wrong…
Hairspring
Mainspring
Balance staff
4 out of 7 jewels
Broken regulator
Broken hands
No crystal
And obviously, this spring. Well, I’ve just discovered, as I forked out for digital parts manuals, that it was missing the click!! So I actually have the correct click spring. The problem lay in… When it arrived, someone had Jobbed a home made click in the form of a wire, that had broken. The original click was gone, thanks to my new parts catalogs, I saw the part and found a NOS replacement, so problem solved 🙄
But thank you all for the helpful suggestions, I’m sure I’ll need them in the near future.. Oh, and for the beer tip
