This had been in and out if the watchmaker for the past 2 years and hardly had a good week of wearing. Hope this time it will last longer!
Problems list so far Hand made set spring not working bent balance staff new crown and pusher last episode was jewel above balance staff moved. I want a good 2-3 month of regular wear during the week.
all problems and needed parts to fix them are for sale somewhere...... maybe you should change your watchmaker.......... nice example. kind regards. achim
sounds like a troublesome watch... i'll take the problem child off you if you like, relieve you of the headache!!
As a watchmaker myself, just wondered how the jewel above the balance staff could have moved... That's an excuse, not a scenario, to me. sounds like the watch saw more than one watchmaker during this repair :-///
Most of the 321 around are battered up beyond any reasonable hope. Recently even some few in great cosmetic conditions turned out to be quite poor from a mechanical standpoint.
I saw the movement first hand, I think it was just tardy job, the watch was pretty beaten up when I first acquired it. When I first acquired watches I wanted to learn the dark art of watch making but after toying with old lady's movement I gave up the idea and let someone else do my job. I just have to put my trust to them. This time I think he finally got it right. Thank god so far.
