Is this one of the watches Columbo wears?

nice i need that speciofic servoce cause i dont ahve the tool

I am an amateur. Usually I don't want/can't buy Suiss tools very expansives. For hands I generally use a presto tool (chinese version) who is working very very well without dammage hands. Chinese tools are offen not usables out of the box but with littles adjustements/finitions they work well and are sufficient for amateur. In some rares cases I use levers.

Круто конечно, но под такую цапфу нужно бушон ставить в платину соразмерно уменьшенного диаметра, иначе цапфа будет болтаться ну или камень подбирать

Great video. Would be nice to see how you installed the bushing and so on. Thanks

This is the most detail tutorial in KZbin I’ve ever seen!

Excellent walk through, thank you. I have a few of the stopwatches using the 7714 movement and having trouble with both pinions. I looked through all your videos but did not find a part 2 for this. Both pinions you pulled off on this have a small clip that I believe applies all the tension. I've run into many of these small clips that have died and then both hands just spin around. I don't believe that these pinions can be tightened as they are very thick walled. I think it's just the clip that holds them in pace, would you know for sure? I haven't found a replacement part for the clip, I've attempted some custom ones and they don't quite seem to provide enough friction to hold firmly enough. So unfortunately these stopwatches are still standing by waiting for me to find or make a replacement clip. Any advise you might have on this would be appreciated! Cheers.

I’m just a collector of antique clocks and watches. Because the wait is so long and quality repairers are so scarce, I ordered up a cheap presto hand remover, Bergeon dial protector, cheap hand press tool, dual loupe glasses, etc. to do my first ever two repair jobs on an Illinois Bunn Special and a Hamilton 992B. Both needed the hands off, one for realignment, the other to replace them with a factory NOS set. All went well and I feel a lot of satisfaction :-) Thank you for your video!

How do you know which side of the balance wheel to rivet the staff on?

I know this job like the back of your hand.

Two things that have made me reluctant to use a Jacot tool. First, being somewhat old, my hands are not as steady as they once were and it's difficult to mount the pivot into the tool. Second, is dropping the piece, which I notice you did ( 5:27 ) in your video. Still I'd like to do better with the tool. Any suggestions?

Hi, do you take the balance complete of the balance cock when you adjust hairspring? Thanks

Hi. The only one I knew with this winding system was JLC FutureMatic. Now, I know another one :)

👍👏

Thank you so much, I really did not understand what the connection was between the main spring and the escapement was.

Sounds like the "commercially advertised" service center committed a crime against the owner. As an American I can only guess at which franchise this would be. It's wonderful that there are reputable watch makers such as you still out there. I too came over because Marshall gave you a shout out on his channel 👍

Also came over when Marshall Sutcliffe from Wristwatch Revival mentioned you. I’m looking forward to discovering your videos and learning from you. I’m in the Laurentians, was happy to learn I’m about 45 minutes away from your workshop ❤ small world

I came because of your comment on the Wristwatch Revival channel, but a subscriber

you have a lot of patience mate

N. Booysoous I can do to help me move to the eaeda

Pretty good

Great job hiding so much info, with removing the movement from frame!.... watchmaking is hard, but videoing is more difficult it seems?.

Hi Ashton, what grit is diamond stone you are using for sharpening screwdrivers? Thanks

How can the movement be dirty when it was serviced the same year?

I’m having the same issue with the reset as here @17m. This is my first time servicing a Swiss lever chronograph. Mine resets, but the pin and stem don’t return to position. I have to slightly pull the (internal pusher)stem before the spring can push the pin back into position. The stem feels lightly jammed. I admit to not fully grasping how all works yet. Initially I thought it was related to me reusing the operating lever for the hour hammer, but I see others doing the same. The movement is nearly complete except for a bits on the dial side. Any tips?

The best fit books are a lifesaver!

Thanks for this video!

Great video and I learned a lot. I own a 145.026 flightmaster, can you tell me what type of movement holder you have and who manufactured it and where you purchased it.

I feel like I know this procedure like the back of your hand.

EXCELLENT! Thank you!

A great video - Thanks

How did you clean the rust off the screws, spring and other components?

👍Thanks

Just a suggestion,... but marking your workbench with a visual reminder (magic marker perhaps?), with a line of demarcation to mean everything above the line is in camera view, and if you're below the line it's no longer in view. On videos like this it's a bit frustrating to hear you talking about a proceedure as if we're seeing it taking place,... when we're not. 🙂 By the way, on the Omega Cal 551, if a new pre-greased mainspring was not installed, should the mainspring seem noticably stiff when manually winding as if the coils are dry or not enough grease was applied? I just bought an 18KY Gold OMEGA Constellation Ref 14381/2 SC 61 Cal 551 watch that was supposed to have just been serviced, and the manual winding seems stiff. (not enough or any barrel endshake, maybe also the reason?) Cheers, Joe T

The simplest and clearest video on the subject. Excellent 👍🏻

Is this the most common problem with mechanical watches that won't run ? I'm looking on Ebay and wonder what is the reason many vintage wind-up watches won't run.

I like these videos. As a creator myself, I would suggest zooming in the camera some more to have the watch filling the frame and 'drawing' on the table the space that represents the camera frame, so you know where to position the components while working.

I've watched endless hours of watch repair on KZbin, this is the most comprehensive explanation of replacing a balance staff that I've seen. Including roller removal.

hello sir first at all thanks for your videos... I have an issue with the bezel of my 145.036 cal 911, what happens is that when I turn the crown of the bezel it feels very hard and sometimes it feels like the bezel jumps in a way internal, so I would like to know if you have photos or any videos of the disassembled bezer system, thank you very much!

So 5513 don't "click" while bezel is turned. Thanks !

So you say will show how to take movement out, but then don’t show how you do it. You say how to take the hands off but don’t show it. Seriously. If you can’t film while working on the watch then don’t bother.

well, we have the same problem, How did you take the movement out of the case? and the second video exist??? very thanks

Thank you for sharing your experience on this excellent video.

your channel is criminally underrated. no free website or video offers content as concise and well explained as yours (in this short). could you in a future longer video explain the mechanism architecture such as the driving of chronograph seconds via the 4th wheel?

Is there a automatic ?

Does it have the strait writing on the caseback Nice work👍

34, not 36mm

, pain liever moment

I already own & use the Bergeon 30027 hand levers, but I didn’t know about the 30028s. When I checked with my supplier, I learned that the 30028 is $140. At that price I will only consider buying them if they also come with a free pony ride! Nice video & look forward to more content here.

Thanks for your informative videos. 👍🏻
