Could you share more about your issues with the 19AS movements? I’ve found them to be quite robust, reliable, and easy to work on (having serviced three or four now). The later 34x movements I can understand avoiding.

Thank you for making these videos. They are very informative.

Great video once more. I own a vintage Longines from 1954 with the same movement quite similar to ref 6263 but with dauphine types hands and numerals at 12 and 6. I do not have any appropriate tool to open the watch to see the exact reference number. It is a beautiful watch with a nice patina. I recommend this brand for vintage collectors. There are also outstanding vintage chronographs by Longines maybe for a future video.

We would like to see more Longines please

Wow thank you for this information!!!

Longines has been charging for these Archival Certifications for the last 9 months.

Great video!!! I fell in love with the No.4. It has a unique design and I have small wrists too.

I'd like to see you do the same thing with tanks. Longines started changing for extracts after your video was produced.

Those were some beautiful watches. I noticed the hands in the earlier versions were really thick and substantial. You have some great watches. Enjoy.

a lot of watch designs are older than we think

Thank you for making the video. I have just received my first vintage a Seiko Marvel. May I know, how many times should I wind the watch? As you mentioned that we need to wind the watch fully. How do you that is's fully winded? Thank you for your kind help.

does an unoriginal crown decrease the value of the watch?

it looks good but there are too many models of the Polerouter. they should bring back the UNISONIC. did U.G. tuning fork movement predate bulova's ?

Awesome video!

but it still having some value. and i don't think the normal watch maker can made such thing.

Wonderful video D, I learned a lot. I was inspired to view the video on the date setting from four years ago - I had no idea not to use quickset from 10PM-2AM, extremely helpful. Now I see this is consistent with website TECHNICAL GUIDE. Okay, now I want a Constellation even more, but know better what I want. Cheers.

Thank you for this video! I have my eyes on 136.070, i just wish i could find a producer of exhibition case backs for this reference

Wow, can’t wait to see what you do with this :)

Only noobs think Seamasters are the pinnacle of Omega production.

I'm glad you didn't destroy it! Actually, I think this is a really interesting piece of horological history. A bit like the fake "English" pocket watches sold in the London in the 18th C. Did the people who bought them on these cruises know they were fake at the time I wonder?

Hey folks, I apologize if you felt that this is a clickbait. My true intention is to get as many people to watch this video so that everyone can be aware of the many fakes out there. Once you become a victim, you'll understand how important a video like this can be. When I say I will repaint the dial, I am not referring to spending money having it refinished. I am referring to using a paintbrush and painting it like you see the many dial artworks on the Instagram reel. But I likely won't have time to do that anyway. I would smash this watch into pieces, but it makes more sense to strip it apart and give the movement alone to someone learning to become a watchmaker. It's a good watch repair practice movement.

AS1130 - nice movement for affordable vintage watches :)

Thank you. Beautiful watches!

I wanted to see the smash...

Cuando vi la imagen con el martillo me dio stress

The movement isn't too bad - it has 17 jewels and is even a pallet fork mvt. I've seen worse in fake watches. As you said: might be good for practicing.

The hands are completely off... the printing on the dial are off too, the lume is weird, overal the watch is too new to be a vintage.

The wonderful thing about the 565 is the Taubert & Fils made stainless case. With its signature decagonal caseback and Boninchi water resistent crown. What I like about 565 cases is the stepless bezel. Your watch is very nice. Happy Hunting!

Are the buckle’s still signed Omega?

Looks similar to Credor's models.

Fire

Oh yeah. Museum piece here

😍😍😍😍😍

Great example you have here

I know it as reference, not case model

Hey buddy I have what I believe to be one of the first omega watches ever made. It’s a vintage watch. I can track back to where it was first purchased and I would like to know if there’s any value to it. Is that something you could assist me with please.

Very nice watches, what surprised me is the quite NOS condition of main of them!!! Congrats

Useful video thanks and best wishes from Singapore.

does the 14707 come in other metals and what is the ballpark range for this model?

Are the dials of the two watches refinished? They look like new :)

This is cool because the Omega I have had for a while now is the 165.070 cal. 552 automatic genevé. And it hasn’t let me down.

Thanks for sharing all your information on the bewildering references from Omega. I have 1940’s 2319 and it has clearly had the dial refinished sometime in the past however in my time with the watch a fingerprint stain has started to appear - clearly someone has handled this in the past without gloves. My question is would you have it refinished again?

Very interesting, I never knew they existed. Thank you

i love your videos!

2:35 You forgot to put those links :)

Nice watches! Theses movements are probably the last great movements that omega made before the 70s quartz crisis. Also,if a collector wanted to collect just omega 550/600 family movements,the case,model and style variations are many.

Great video derek!

Should watchmakers always replace seals, during a service ? Are they all obtainable ?

Or get a Seiko Skyliner which has a timeless design and is very affordable 😊.
