Video

A competent watchmaker. Beautiful done. I think it should have a little patina otherwise it doesn't show the journey. When I see it cleaned up it l wouldn't say. No to that. Great yarn over the clutch wheel...

A very clear and precise video, made me think twice about purchasing a Chinese made watch. Thanks a lot for the time and effort in making this informative content.

It’s a second second-hand seconds hand

I want to watch how make purchase

Very nice presentation, please keep doing it, thank you for your professionalism.

I bought one of these because of this video. I have one just like it, blue face, same vintage and movement, but mine is an automatic. I love it.

“My Precious” - the Tudor from Mordor

Seriously I love that !

I've got a landeron 149 that is really good but the mainspring just snaped so when I get better at tinkering that will be my first crono service

Hello! Thank you for a very educational video. I also am about to clean and disassemble a 370 Gruen for the first time. I have a question. What size Bergeon mainspring winder did you use for the 370 barrel?

I have a caper in which you may be interested . I just watched an episode of the classic "Fraiser". I believe he was wearing a Cartier Tank. I would be cool to have someone like yourself spot or iD watches that folks are wearing in movies or shows. Just an idea

Man,your video quality is amazing. I’ve never seen such sharp focus on CZcams.

Hi, I have just gotten the exact same watch and have the same problem with the chrono pusher being broken. Do you by any chance know where you got the replacement? Good Video btw!! 😊

Retropunk, retropunk, retropunk,... retropunk. Got it!

I like the movement but these days not so much due to part availability. Beautiful dial, hands, and case. I avoid them 😭 Il f not regular serviced.

Thats a good soviet joke for my next colonoscopy.

100% Exactly the arrangement of my Breitling from 1972, except that the rotating ring was a slide ring.

nice..

You make it look so easy, true sign of a craftsman, Bloody Brilliant sir ❤

Thanks for this. You just gained a subscriber

Can you please name the name and type of the machine to vacuume the nuclear dust while you open the watch? 1:59

That’s the cleanest watch I’ve ever seen 👍👍👍

Just found your channel, really enjoy it thank you, give me a new Dial anytime by the way 😮lol x

Thank you for this video. It’s very very informative!

okay so I wanna start of by saying that I recently found your channel and am loving all of the past videos, but... the water resistance part I have to disagree with. When going on to most watchmakers websites (longines, omega, breitling...) they rate their watches for, for example, 3 atm or 30 meters of water approximately. Since the inside of any watch also has the same atm of pressure as the air around you, you do not need to make the calculation that you made of subtracting one. So then they go on to claim this is in still water blah blah blah don't submerge it because we don't want trouble if we made a mistake. But doing some actual calculations it turns out moving in water can only create a max extra pressure of about 1.3 meters. This means that with a watch that is actually protected up to 3 atm of static pressure swimming in water up to 28 meters is fine. I'm pretty sure the disclaimer is there just in case some QC issue concerning water resistance managed to slip past and they don't feel like dealing with it... or even worse if it isn't actually resistant up to 3 atm. I will admit that chemicals, hot water (vapour) or salt water might have a different impact... This all of course only works for new watches since gaskets and materials deteriorate over time, so think you are correct in saying that vintage watches should never be considered waterproof unless tested. anyway sorry for the rant, just wanted to let you know. Keep making great videos!!

so, if i payd 800euros for a speedmaster triple calendar with 1150 movment, without service, it ok?:)

Nice Work Done By You....

Yes Watches need to maintain their value. .... So what's up with SWATCH and Rolex ? They will "Orphan" virtually any watch for any excuse. Great way to build confidence in a product. Jussayin 😉

Excellent video! Question: does anyone know if the Ebel 8137241 has the same internals/movement as the 8134901? I have been trying to find the all gold version of the 8134901 with little luck, however the 8137241 looks a lot like the 8134901 with a different dial. As I have the dial for the 8134901, I wonder if I buy the 8137241, can I put the 8134901 dial on it?

I never use filters. It degrades the optical quality. I can always correct the contrast in the darkroom. You have to look through the target finder at a modest distance. I use a Agfa Billy Record. I only use Acros II or Lomo 100 color.

That watch cleaned up well. The TLC you gave had her running like a champ. Outstanding work Boss 🫡🤝

Like many American kids growing up in the 70’s, my first watch was a Timex. A hand winding 3 hander, I remember the Navy blue dial clearly. It was quite common to put a Speidel Twist-o-Flex band on your watch in those days, and mine was no different. Sadly, that watch has been lost to time, but I have clear memories of wearing it, trying to be like Dad.😊

Bravo ❗️❗️👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Nice watch great work ❗️❗️👌🏼

Hypnosis.

I agree with others that is a chunky watch and a great conversation piece but probably not for me. Great video though. I am more into the vintage style watches and about 10 years ago I got a 1970's watch on evil bay for £30GBP. It has recently begun periodically stopping and I guess it needs a service, I don't think anything is broken. I have been quoted between £150 and £180GBP for a service which is way more than it is worth. Are there any other options for me. I don't have the skills or tools to do the work myself. This must condemn a load of perfectly good watches to the trash.

Your humor is a joy to add to your expertise!

Do ur homework on the vendor. Reputable vendors is the most important aspect of buyin a watch

Bought a mint condition cartier and 1974 Timex Marlin on eBay . Multiple watch guys said both are very nice watches and very good deals.

What a beautiful watch... it looks great even with a donor seconds hand -:)

Challenge? might be an understatement

What a beautiful watch... thanks for the video Stian!! - Glad you bought it serviced :D

Like a boss! I'm still crest fallen over the cap jewell shock setting that pinged to oblivion the other day 😢 Tore apart my office 3 times 😂

Is it OK to polish an acrylic crystal with Polywatch or .05mm diamond paste while it is on the watch? Or could that lead to water ingress? Thank you!

Idiot

Nice video, love the movement. i believe it the same in Seagull 1963.

What is the detect zone for on the de-magnitizing apparatus?

I'm willing to bet. You could make an entire video just by taking a deep dive into "The Cannon Pinion" . I watch various watchmaking CZcamsrs. I feel it is a very under explained part. Your explanation today came close to a good short explanation. I really enjoy your sense of humor. Dumb Dad Jokes Rule 🤘 Thanks Boss always informative and fun. 🫡🤝
