Following what Frank Adams (a real watchmaker) posted a little bit ago,
I don't care what Rusty does with his watch. He can tar and feather it,
run it over with a back hoe and use the remains as a fishing lure for
all I care.

Mungo, alt.horology is not a "your watch is as important as your wife so
don't mess with it" newsgroup. We gave sound advice but Rusty wants to
put his big fat thumbs where they don't belong.

Turns out it's a "your watch is as important as your wife so don't
mess with it" newsgroup.

My suggestion to you Rusty is take the d... thing appart and see how
it ticks. If you can't get it back together, take a picture of it in
all its peices and then post a HELP to the horology newsgroup and tell
them some fool in the rec.crafts.metalworking newsgroup made you do
it. That way they may give you some usefull acvice instead of telling
you; you can't do it because you, unlike them, are not a serious
officiado of all things horological.

I must say, I do admire your tenacity. You have stuck it out for quite
some time; as hard as they tried, you have made them give you some
useful information.
