#IDENTIFY ELGIN WATCH FULL#
Where in the hell am I even going to set things up as my house is already full of other stuff?ĭo I do Marks course? Do I do the BHI course? Which polishing wheels do I get? Which timegrapher? Which desk light?ĭo I want a lathe? Do I need a lather yet? Do I want a mill? Do I need a mill yet? Do I get a lathe/mill combination? Would the Chinese machines be good enough to do precision work? Do I buy an ultrasonic? Is it really necessary yet? This cleaning fluid, that cleaning fluid. Hand lifters? What size do I want? Movement holders? Spring winders? Clocks or watches. Make my own base or buy screwdrivers that come with a base? Well, I am pretty sure that I can safely say that I have this. Then one more image there's a reference to single and double roller normally that would be physically different staffs but in the case of this staff will work for either or so I variation in size you have will be the pivots. Sometimes the generic replacement staffs are deliberately made over size as it's easier to reduce the dimensions than it is to add on to the staff. But as a guess is this is a seven jewel watch it's probably the largest size which works out fine any staff would work then hopefully. It would be really nice if one ear pivots still existed. I'm attaching a second image it looks like I was correct there are some variations for pivots size. Then when you order a staff online it may be a generic replacement that may not actually exactly fit the staff you have. Typically it's just pivots size variation but other times other dimensions Very. Elgin unlike other watch companies for the staffs would have a part number but the part number would action referred to a whole bunch of staffs with variations. You'll notice I highlighted something the staff conceivably has variations. If you look through the parts go to the staff section you will get the image that I have below. Usually any time you restaffed any American pocket watch you always want to measure the before and after to make sure the replacement staff actually is the proper replacement staff that way you would avoid unpleasant surprises. Unfortunately for balance staffs it isn't always that simple as there may be variations.
