I encourage you to read....
I'm giving a plug to an article presented by our forum technical genius. It is currently buried in the depths of the watchmaking thread at the bottom of the forum board and frankly it deserves to be seen by everyone with an interest in watches.
Look here http://christopherwardforum.com/viewtop ... 33&t=10816 and enjoy!

Re: I encourage you to read....
As usual, an excellent, informative and concise account. Well worth two or even three reads let alone one

Amazing bit of d.i.y. kit, very Heath Robinson but in a good way. Just don't start messing with lasers!

I never understood how water leak testing was done. Now I do. Thanks. I thought you had to destroy a watch in order to prove it had failed a leak test.

Re: I encourage you to read....
Not sure I would trust my own home made rig but I do have a place that can do this test with real equipment and the charge is reasonable. I was always reluctant because I didn't understand how such a test was possible and afraid something would go horribly wrong. Very reassuring. This is the kind of stuff I like having posted on the forum. Super great info!Kip wrote:Great idea! Thanks for mentioning here.

Re: I encourage you to read....
Must admit that anything mechanical is a great love of mine, but mention electrics and my brain shrivels! It may as well be magic string for all the sense it makes. Oh I get the "physics" bit (passed mine ) but application and my brain goes on a cruise.
