Dear Readers, we haven’t posted a lot lately, as you can always see what we are working on by going to https://watchguy.co.uk/cgi-bin/library?action=current – that makes it a bit obsolete to write posts about individual watches, as you can follow the repairs as we are carrying them out.

Buenas, no viene al caso pero me gustaría saber si me podrías limpiar un Vacheron Constantin, 1972
Asymmetric 35202
Está en muy buen estado y funciona perfectamente, pero me gustaría dejarlo como nuevo para venderlo.
Amazing to see the chronicle of my pieces being worked on, looks great! I, too, miss the commentary, but it looks like the workshop is very busy, which is terrific (and unsurprising, given the quality of the work).
From where I can buy a new strap for Rolex Datejust dual-tone? Thanks
You will have to go to Rolex with that.
Hello
I am a watchmaker and looking for one part for Vacheron Constantin 1311 can you help me Robert
Hi Robert,
All the parts I have are listed at https://watchparts.org.uk/
Kind regards,
Christian
Hello Christian,
do you have any idea where to get detailed technical information/technical guide on the Seiko cal. 9S56? (their first GMT-calibre).
There are technical guides available on almost all Seiko calibres, including the 8R48 chronograph, but obviousely Seiko takes good care that no one is leaking any detailed technical information about their later Grand Seiko calibres to the public.
(Even though the 9S56 is more than 20 years old)
Greetings from Hanover,

Hi Christian,
Good morning,
I sent my omega Dynamic watch over 3 weeks ago, I keep looking at the watches on line that you’re repairing, mine isn’t there, could you give me an idea of when you’re starting the work on mine please.

We received your watch exactly 9 days ago on 12/2/2021, not 21 days ago.
A bit of patience is helpful in this case.
Hello Folks,
I’m the proud owner of 2 HMT Pilots. Does anyone know the hand sizes for them? I could only find sizes for their Citizen 0201 counterpart which are 150/90/25.
Perhaps a compromise – a few more comments under the photos during the servicing?
For example: Lemania Fleet Air Arm Single Push Chronograph Calibre 2210, service 03.02.2021, appears to have a balance cock equipped for flat and overcoil hairsprings!
Good point – just have to get my backside off the chair and do it!
While this is true, I personally liked the blog posts about individual watches a lot. I sometimes go back to these posts when I acquire a similar watch and especially like the comments in between the repair detail. Maybe still write a blog entry about an interesting repair from time to time?
I agree. I still miss them. I have found the comments really helpful.
