Hi WA, I use the videos on the watchmaker KZfaq channel for those details. I still have much to learn about those topics. Hope to have hi-beat vs. lo-beat topic soon, though! Cheers, Bill

Thanks Jay. Kindest regards, Bill

Divested of all Lange? That's an interesting step. The other day I had similar issues with KZfaq...still working on it. Cheers, Bill

A guy in Sweden wanted to know why I had these streams so late and on the West Coast .... it's only going to work on weekends. I've got to work out how to get the comments coming up. Sheeeeze! Cheers, Bill

Thanks Ali B.! I've still got work to do on getting these streaming ones right! Cheers, Bill

Thanks I try to participate but something wrong in my process I shall figure it’s out tomorrow and try next time 🤓🤔

Hi Jim, it always amazes me how the power of a single spring can keep time. I think that's what keeps me in the hobby and finding out more and more. Kindest regards, Bill

Have you seen the Hamilton Watch video from the 40's, "How a Watch Works?" It's on KZfaq. It piqued my interest in the early days of my introduction into the hobby.

Yes, that's a great video.

...I took the Yakuza option... you see, I had to borrow money for a really nice Steinhart, and it was either join up or loose a finger ...

So, the beret is some sort of an initiation thing?

The beret annoys bigots and embarrasses the French; what more could I ask? The beret is still in rotation...check back Friday.

Eugene, no they don't. That's what Friday's video will be about. Cheers, Bill

I found it! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/j9WElpScm97GZmg.html

Hi Zev! It's video #15. Here's the link: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/j9WElpScm97GZmg.html Kindest regards, Bill

Hi Bill, I just saw your reply. Thanks for getting back to me!

👌

Hi Don, yeah, it's all Yakuza! Actually, below the red, there's a big mythical wolf from Scandinavian folklore, which is why I got the shirt. You want some mad tees, check out: upperplayground.com/collections/mens-premium-short-sleeve?view=list Cheers, Bill

Hi Mike, I suppose if you had constant movement, the wound spring would be pretty close to fully wound and have a uniform turn of the barrel; however, that would be a bit difficult, especially since for a mechanical watch to work, it needs to unwind and change the tension in the spring. Nevertheless, you make an interesting point. Kindest regards, Bill

Some of the artwork is book covers and some are forgeries I used to do as a hobby. Cheers, Bill

It really does in certain very fundamental ways. Kindest regards, Bill

Hi Eddie-glad you made it! Cheers, Bill

Thank you. I'll check out the video. Just ordered a new part for one I lost in dismantling my WM course Sellita. I will never working on movements that small again! Hope you don't mind if I bug you for a tip or two! Kindest regards, Bill

No Problem Bill...
