any idea how the original Elgin assemblers handled the glove issue?
btw, nicely done…
I have never seen any historic photos of workers wearing gloves...
Good job! But soon you may need to invest in one of those retractable magnifying lamps.
Just curious as to the reason for wearing gloves.
In the real watchmaking world - they never touch the inside parts of a watch with their grubby/oily fingers. Moisture from you hands can actually be corrosive to some watch parts. One of the main rules of watchmaking is to leave no trace behind that a watch has been serviced - no scratches, no fingerprints, no dust. The rubber gloves actually get my hands really sweaty inside and real watchmakers use finger cots instead of full gloves. Just got an order of fingercots yesterday.
Thanks very much for that information.
I figured it had something to do with excluding foreign substances.
Human sweat, like human blood, has approximately the same concentration of dissolved salts as does sea water; i.e., quite corrosive to many metals.
