Our expert watchmakers carefully inspect and meticulously recondition all our previously owned timepieces to as like-new condition as possible. Additionally, Our watchmakers certify and authenticate all timepieces before we purchase them for our inventory.

In general, I only repair watches that I have sold and for these, I offer a repair service at low cost. Russian watches are sold fairly often without any warranty etc. on Internet auctions or at markets. For capacity reasons, I am not able to service these.

All the watches shown on this site are quartz (battery powered). The batteries are universally available.

Second only to diamonds in hardness, quartz is one of the most abundant minerals found in nature. Its strength makes ONE??? Quartz Surfaces highly scratch-resistant.

If the quartz becomes stained, remove the sleeve from the reactor chamber and clean the OUTSIDE with a commercially available scale remover, such as Lime-Away or CLR. If the inside of the quartz sleeve does become wet, ensure that it is thoroughly dried before putting the Sterilight system back together.

We buy from you! Yes, we always buy watches from collectors in Singapore as well as overseas. Sometimes, we buy direct from manufacturers. We are very critical when purchasing the stock and we demand the best condition with or without the accessories. Almost all our watches have been sent to my watchmaker for a polish & service. Sometimes, we may replace the straps (Original or non-original) when it is too old.

Haring did design several watches for the Swatch company, which maintains its own website. Please contact them with any requests to buy or sell Haring Swatch watches.

Quartz is a blend of quartz and resins that form a hard, durable surface, with a feel that is much like granite. The colors and patterns that are created typically have little variation and provide a consistent appearance. In addition to its durability, quartz tops handle heat well, require little maintenance and will have visible seams. Quartz countertops begin at about $75 per square foot, installed.

Watches with quartz movements use a battery as its power source. The battery is used to provide a voltage across a quartz crystal which, in turn, oscillates very fast. A small microchip counts these oscillations. When a certain number of oscillations is reached, a signal is sent to a stepper motor that advances the hands (for example, one second intervals). Quartz watches became very popular in the 1980's and threatened the very existence of mechanical movements.

Often referred to by its misnomer "Smokey Topaz", smokey quartz is a popular, rich brown gem often available in larger sizes. To improve their color after mining, some smokey quartz stones may be heated or safely irradiated. Smokey quartz can be cleaned with a soft brush and jewelry cleaner or warm, soapy water, and ultrasonic cleaners may be used. To provide an extra degree of protection for your smokey quartz, avoid exposure to abrupt temperature changes.

These two grades of restoration correspond to the two diverse shell making regions of the mantle. The young marginal part of the mantle is able to make all the outer layers with its colors and architecture. The older parts of the mantle far from the mantle margin can only add innermost layers to the shell or function after breaks to supply a sort of cement to mend the break but not to actually restore it to look like new.

Ligament repair is effective in restoring the normal function of joints or adjacent tissues after ligament laceration. Ligament damage usually happens from sports injury. A torn ligament critically restricts knee movement, resulting in a person’s incapacity to pivot, turn or twist the leg. Those individuals who are not able to resume normal activities with medical treatments for a torn ligament may have a ligament repair surgery.

Generally speaking we do not repair printers. Printers have become so nexpensive that they are basically a throw away item (it costs more to repair an old printer than it does to buy a new one). Some printer problems are, however easy to fix. A common problem that fits into this category is the paper not feeding properly (or at all). Email me if you’re experiencing this problem and want a possible quick fix.

Quartz Crystals are like snowflakes, no two are alike and while a snowflake is made by nature in seconds, Crystals are nurtured by nature and grow slowly over thousands of years. Due to the varying rate of growth, their sizes vary. They usually grow in clusters, often touching each other and when separated leave a mark on the other Crystal. This is not a chip or damage but a natural indentation marked by small lines. They are not glass but a combination of pure and impure chemicals.

watts is the maximum power recommended for your modeling lamp. This allows the cooling fan to maintain low internal temperatures. It is possible to use a 250-watt quartz lamp if particular care is taken. As a 250-watt bulb produces more heat, you should not operate your flash unit for extended periods of time with this bulb in place. You will need to be cautious when using this bulb, ensuring that there is adequate airflow.

This is a question that is dependent on what other uses you'll have for the piece. Black tourmaline is usually stronger (more powerful) and it would be our first preference when we need grounding. If you are looking to work with manifestations or healing too, smoky quartz would be our choice. Smoky quartz is a good all around grounding crystal. Many believe it brings you to a lower vibration, but this is not the case. It grounds you in such away that you can spread your wings.

Quartz Composer is a new realtime graphics technology provided by Apple in Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger). It allows "movie files" to be constructed that render 3d effects on the fly and has user interaction and scripting capabilities. These quartz composer compositions (qcc) can be played back just like normal quicktimes in any VJ mixing program or they can be embedded within an application. Think of it as a hardware accelerated 3D version of flash movies.

Health Canada, through a joint federal/provincial committee, is responsible for watching the level of fluoridation in water supplies. In recent years, this committee has recommended that optimal levels of fluoride should be between 0.8 and 1.0 parts per million. This recommendation is based on the fact that many Canadians receive fluoride from many sources. As a result, some communities have lowered the level of fluoride in their water supply, in keeping with this recommendation.
