Testing a Kiev 5 after some DIY repair (stuck frame counter, stripped nut in the winding arm). I spent years gathering Zeiss lenses, on and off, I'd like a platform to use these. I hope it works, I really don't intend to do this regularly 😬 #repair #film #filmphotography #believeinfilm

Actually, the other 6mm was in better shape and is now OK to use. Still have to finish cleaning the accessories. Even the latch of the small wooden box was rusted out and had to be replaced 😮 #watchmaking #horology #repair

The big one can be a WW Boley, unmarked. Crusty, but still functional. I'll have to decide if it is still worth the time spent cleaning it, removing the flaky nickel plating and the surface rust, and repainting. Reference: www.lathes.co.uk/boley/page3.... #watchmaking #horology #repair

Last week-end I hauled home these lathes, at least 10kg of rusty steel... 1 WW pattern 8mm Boley 1 8mm Lorch, incomplete 2 older Lorch 6mm + lots of useful bits and pieces Not critical for me as I have what I need already, but it makes me sad seeing these rust away. #watchmaking #horology #repair

My chances of finding a correct set jewel were close to zero. So I drilled out the setting, push fitted the bushing, reamed it, push fitted the jewel and ajusted its height. Now after cleaning and rebuilding, this Longines is upgraded from junk to timekeeper. #watchmaking #repair #photography

After the staff swap, I discovered that a balance jewel was "repaired" previously... a modern flat jewel was just shoved in place of a domed one, flopping around into the destroyed setting. Nice job. So I searched for a modern domed jewel and a bushing... #watchmaking #repair #photography

I've been given a Nikon D810, it will replace my D800 which has focus problems. No more taking 5 close ups to have one sharp! Also, the mirror feels more damped. 😀 => Pictures, yay! Vintage french thingies I got recently (glass cartridge #fountainpen, Gibbs adjustable razor) #photography

Back to work last week, with among other things a balance staff swap. 1 remove hairspring & roller 2 machine off the broken staff from the balance itself (on the lathe) 3 mount the new staff with a punching stake 4 put back everything in the same place #watchmaking #repair #photography

I also put a roll in the older prewar Automat, that I like a lot. Old uncoated lenses can be nice in some situations. This one is probably a keeper. 📷 1938 Rolleiflex Automat 🎞️ Foma 200, direct scan 🧪 Caffenol #film #filmphotography #believeinfilm

After years waffling about my Hassy 500 (service it? get a 80 instead of the 100 I don't like much? get a C/M and be able to focus a shot in less than 2 minutes with a proper screen?)... I got a SL66. 😅 Now, how many 'flexes are too many? I may sell the 500 and the 2.8C if the SL66 feels OK.

I also spent a little on a sapphire crystal. The OEM is a plain mineral and scratch easily, someone makes a convincing lookalike which is way more durable, but shinier. Worth the cost, it is a chunky watch, the kind you bang on a doorframe the 1st day 😅 #photography #watchmaking #horology

However the Omega 861 mainplate was junked long ago, because the minute wheel pivot was broken off. I had to make another pivot as I did not want to spend money for another one, or use the Lemania and make a Franken (it would have worked the same though) #photography #watchmaking #horology

Finished the Speedmaster MKII this week. I started off with a case and a dial, found a handset and bought a Lemania movement. I then rebuilt it as an Omega movement (parts are mostly the same) using spares I had laying around. #photography #watchmaking #horology

A view of the parts that were missing in the base movement; after service / reassembly I'm casing it without the chrono module and dial/hands to check the automatic winding. No fancy finishing inside, it looks very industrial/functional. #watches #watchmaking #horology #vintagewatches

Bought an inner bezel scale in much better shape... now it is a circular slide rule again!🤓 Cleaned the case and replaced the lower pusher cap. Also, found and bought a missing wheel for the base microrotor movement, probably cannibalized a long time ago. #watches #watchmaking #horology
