Video

Your video was very valuable to me. I'm installing a new glass on a watch with a case very similar to the watch in your video. I noticed that this watch of yours does not have a bezel. Is it common for watches without a bezel or is this watch missing the bezel? I wish you much success on your channel and happiness with your children. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

Wow just amazing. Liked and subscribed!

What is/are the screwdriver size(s)? Can you provide a link to buy? Thanks.

Does the stem have to be out if the watch to glue the crown back on?

I wish OEM parts were available for a reasonable price, I was considering servicing my own 861 but these replacement parts together would cost more than the service from Omega themselves.

to get a perfect reading do you need to fully wind the movement before measuring or Half power is enough.

Great tip!

I have this watch and I belonged to my father. Pitched in 1969. It is not currently working and is missing the stem. How do I get in touch?

Так я не понял ,в домашних условиях батарейку не поменять чтоли ?

Hi, great video! I am doing the 7734 myself in a couple of days and wanted to prepare a bit. I have a question though, accoring to the service manual the watch needs moebius 9501(or, special grease for mechanism as they call it) on the hammer and hearts. However, you put 9010, the which is the finest oil instead of the thickest grease. Is there a particular reason you choose this oil over the grease? Kind regards, and thanks again for the great video!

👍

What size should the crystal be, relative to the case opening, if using a tension ring crystal? In your example, it seems like the case maybe had a 31mm opening? So you used a 31.1mm crystal with tension ring (0.1mm oversized to generate tension), or a 31.3mm crystal without tension ring (0.3mm oversized to generate tension)? Is this correct?

Baume and Mercier has never ever compromised on quality, and they use good movements, this one is a great example of that.

I have a Seiko Solar Chronograph that i bought used. I need 2 links for it. Can you give me some information how to find links?

Great to watch! I have some Hamilton 992B Railroad Watches from the latter 1950s. When someone has lever set the time at some point, they have bent slightly sideways the ultra-fine steel tip of the minute hand. Would you attempt the same technique, but just pressing the tip sideways? On one of these watches, the watchmaker has seemingly “repaired” the bent tip by carefully clipping the bent end off. This now means the minute hand looks strange because it can no longer reach the dial’s minute calibration marks… so am looking for a replacement.

GREAT!

A very nice video. May I suggest hacking the movement to stop the movement while adjusting it? To avoid any damage to the balance spring.

A very nice profession! If I could start my life over, just this

When its not a expensive watch you could do it yourself, New basic glass online starts with 2 euro upwards.

Fantastic video! So clear and easy to understand

Excellent explanation. Simple but sound. I put my SPB239 on a timegrapher today, adjusted the beat error and regulated the time. The six positions were extremely different, ranging from -15 to -54 seconds. On average, the watch was at over minus 30 seconds. I saw that the regulator pin was almost completely at the minus setting. I wonder who assembles those watches and regulates them to fully minus, resulting in an extremely bad accuracy. It took me over an hour to fix the problem, now it's on my wrist and we'll see in a few days if I have to re-adjust it again, as the six positions were between +7 and -23.... Thanks again for sharing!

What's the name of the music? Great video by the way

And the secret is? Notes to hobby watchmakers: you don't have to own the spring widner and the barrel closing tool, this could be done by hand rather easily. And the graphite grease is not a must, you can use lithium or in worse case any other thick grease instead. Graphite is like a "historical" thing.

awesome job, but crap watch

Hello, could I just remove the steel caseback to my Speedy and install the see-through caseback, or are there extra parts/pieces required?

Top of the line friend, thank you, how much does the adjustment cost

Hi there Maestro! Your opinion PLEASE! I am planing to buy a simple Tag Heuer Caliber 5 Carrera. Dress Watch! Should I go for Tag of forget about it? How many seconds looses by day and what prob;ems holds !THANK U!

I didn’t see the actual adjustment. I wish it was fully demonstrated

Amazing, to watch a Pro working, you make this look easy. respect.

Just a heads up, a couple places on Aliexpress are selling "baby timegraphers" for around £10ish, I bought one to hook up to my PC and it is as good as my Weishi with the addition of acoustic scales if you use Tg 5.0 free timing app and you can really get the whole balance in a very nice harmonious pattern and a lot easier to get the almost single track running north to south. The Weishi has a demon of a mic that can listen to a silent fart dropped in the furthest reaches of the 7 hells but the display is limited so I use both machines to get the regulation abs nailed down.

I have a Seiko skx007j that needs a servicing and time adjustment. How do I send it in?

Good Job 👍👍 Thank you for this video.

Why hp1300 on the spring at the end ? Everyone’s seems to do this now but my understanding is that you just want a light coat with grease so it doesn’t tarnish. Now all the work you did on the klauber is negated bc if contamination.

Iwc wanted £350 to replace a watch glass, expensive

Just learning about watch making- but know quite a bit about tribology. If fix-o-drop is used to prevent oil from spreading then what it’s really doing is a process called “grease plating” - grease plating is the process of coating an entire surface with a thin film of grease to eliminate dry surfaces that might pull grease away from the intended location. that means you could make your own solution. All you need to do is take the desired grease and dissolve it in a solvent (ipa). Then dip your part and pull it out and let it dry - do not wipe dry! The grease suspended in the IPA will adhere to the metal and Ruby. This applies a thin film of grease over the entire surface. Because you applied a thin surface of oil, the oil you apply to the pallet stone will not migrate to other surfaces BECAUSE oil is already there.

Thank you very much for this Video und the extremly good Informations. I disassambled and assembled my Breitling Colt Chrono Automatic twice myself with your support. Thanks. How hard do you tighten the screws? I guess with a lot of feeling.

Mine is 1261/9999

I tried doing this (with albeit a cheaper press) and it cracked the acrylic crystal. Chipped a corner off actually. Ugh. I'm going to try the claw tool shown in the beginning next.

The biggest issue I face right now with my new ultrasonic cleaner are the liquids, I have bought ph2, ph13, another red liquid, alcohol, and this video shows another one that I don’t even have so I don’t know when to use what… 😮‍💨

Hi Dimitri, thank you so much for your videos, they are just great and very useful for me. Watching this video, i have a question, do all escapements interact with the pallet the same way? I mean are the teeth on the escapement always orientated like on this video or can it be that the escapement turns the other way around where the teeth are on the opposite side?

My watch (at least same model) :)

1861 is already vintage? feeing old now 😂

The press that you use? What is it called? The presses I see online doesn’t have the fitting that bends the plexiglass

Could you please repair an omega watch for me?

Thanks my friend... I think so to see your next video .. see you soon..

I like this video

Hi doctor. Some advice on tools that are a good tradeoff between quality and price?

I'm really good at MANY things. This is one thing I am not gonna try..

For the peeps wondering. If you see a quartz chrono with 3ATM/100 feet most probably has a snap back. I think most quartz Chronos have at least 50 meters. Event the Bulova Lunar Pilot has a 5atm.
