yep! its a brushed finish on the top and Gloss on the edge and brushed again on the sides. We are applying the original finish to this omega

Thanks heaps. More to come hopefully.

Thabk you for the feedback, appreciate it.

It shows the week of the year. If the number is 46, then it's mid-November.

Glad it helped

Good to hear,

No stress at all mate. Happy to help. Hopefully we can get some more time to put more videos up

*Ultrasonic

That can be the first thing to go when watches have a light function. Head down to your local watchmaker and get them to check

When I get another one in, I'll make sure to do a video

Yeh, force of habit. I just wear them all the time. Lol

Lucky number

Thanks heaps!! It's coming along slowly

Sorry, I didn't do that in the video. When I get another one in I'll show how to set it up

We have unfortunately sold this machine as we weren't using as much as we liked. it has gone to another great watchmaker in Australia! We have been pumping out videos and trying to stick a video a fortnight goal :-) stay tuned for more if your interested thanks!

These are very sought after, this is the only one we have seen in person and it was a pleasure to work on. Sorry yours didnt work out, im sure the stars will align and you'll have your moment again :-)

Keep any eye out we have a new video soon about more tools and tips coming, it will be directed for more new beginners but will be slowly expanding the videos to go deeper and deeper to educate some new people :-)

Glad I could help. If you have any video suggestions that would help you just let me know. Olly

@@obrhorology thanks Olly. Which are the minimum oils you need. Removing and fitting crystals and which tools. How to get a stem if the caliber isn’t known or on Cousins says not available. Finding crowns that look close to original/period. How to know if you need to replace a mainspring. Often I don’t because it has the right shape but then I only get an amplitude of approx 250. If a spring is no longer available which other one to order in it’s place, ie different length or thickness? How much end play is bad and so needs a jewel pushing in. How to choose which jewel to push. Correcting beat error on vintage watches. Tightening up bearings on rotors. How to clean properly if you only have an ultrasonic machine. Which microscope you use. How to minimise neck ache. When you can use cheap Chinese tools and when Bergeon. Or microtec. How do you stay interested when you don’t get a good mix of interesting watches. Best chronograph for beginners. Which Chronos to stay away from if parts are not available. Hope some of these give you ideas for videos.

That's a nice tip. Sometimes it can be hard to square off the end. With enough practice it becomes easier and quicker over time. Any tool or jig to make your life easier is a good thing.

Not familiar with that tool, do you mean the Horia AMF2015, this new tool by horia is amazing. I don't have it but heard it is good. Since I last did that video I think I have 3 more bezel removing tools. I really like the bergeon 7152 bezel remover. Alternatively there is chinese copy available that does a great job.

Thanks for the feedback, I’ll add them in today and go through our other videos as well and do the same. I’ll be sure to start doing this on all videos now thanks! :-)

Ive updated the bio now to show all the tools we have with a few buying options - We personally use AlltimeCo for most but sometimes we also use CousinsUK. Let me know if you need anymore info on any tools Thanks!

Thanks mate! Will be sure to keep making stuff for all skill levels to help get into the field :-)

@@obrhorology I’ve been into servicing and fixing for about 2 years, completed about 40 watches now. Really want to do a chronograph. My biggest problem is the cost of tools and fixing really difficult issues as well as sourcing parts. I’ve subscribed, so will keep in touch.

Where abouts are you based mate. Are you in Australia or overseas. Can certainly point you in some directions to buy tools and what not. If you want to start chronos the guy "No BS Watchmaker" has a course on the 7750 I believe. What are you short. I could probably get a tool list together for chronos. The only thing that makes life alot easier is a nice movement holder for the eta7750 apart from that there isn't too many speciality tools needed for that calibre. Olly

@@obrhorology Thanks Olly, much appreciated. I will buy a movement holder when the time comes and not too expensive. I still need to buy mainspring winders, I have a half staking set. I need a top quality crystal and back pusher. The list goes on. I live in the UK, but I see you live in Adelaide where I have relatives. Thanks for your replies!

Have a look on alixpress you can get some cheap but good mainspring winders that should get you out of trouble. If your in Adelaide swing by.

Hey Pete, That would certainly work. What I would recomend doing though is doing one side at a time. If possible try and glue the wet and dry to something thing so that you can do each side of the tweezers individually. The main thing to look out for is any rounding of the edge, as long as it's nice and sharp on the edge then you should be right. Thanks Olly Hit me up if you have anymore questions mate

​@@obrhorology Hi Olly, Just one question how do microscopic scratches get intorduced onto parts assume these are pristine from the manufacturer (or are they) say on a high end watch, does the cleaning process introduce any for high end watches on parts such as the centre wheel? I appreciate these are cosmetic and do not effect the watch function.

Good question, I could probably make a video about this. Basically watchmakers contribute a significant amount of the internal scratches. This is why it's important when handling parts to be really careful. You can limit any potential scratches through correct handling (how to pick up and hold parts) or by using wooden, plastic or brass tweezers. The second way this happens is in the cleaning machine if parts are moving around and touching each other. A lot of the higher end brands e.g greubal and forsey have special cleaning baskets to hold parts in place and stop them from moving around. Alternatively you can clean parts by hand but the issue can be that not all the old oil gets removed in the manual process. Thanks for your question. Let me know if you want me to elaborate. I could probably make a video on this. Olly

Thanks for the feedback, we plan on getting a second camera and upgrading the lenses that we have. Definitely a lot of improvements we can make and still getting use to it. Thanks for watching, keep an eye out as we plan to buy some more equipment soon. Olly

Thanks mate! we have plenty of rolex ones and some odds and end omega ones

All in a days work! 🎉

Very good point. In regards to the diamond stones I like them dry. But the other ones yes oil is recommended. More of a problem is that I probably haven't cleaned the stones regularly enough and should re flatten them. Thanks Olly

Happy to help!

Glad you liked it. Happy to help.

For this one we used a clone - we do have the original and use it quite regularly but for this one we grabbed what was closest - Thank you for the comment and sub! 🙂

@@obrhorology thanks for the reply, I'm about to get one so I'm wondering if there is a gap when turning micrometer back and forth or it's the same as on original one?

Not quite sure what you mean but we can vouch for this product - its great we use it almost daily with changing jewels and bushes. would recommend!

@@obrhorology can you send a link from the seller you bought it from? Thanks

They are a amazing watch - we get alot of rolex watches come through our shop for servicing and this one really caught our eye - Lucky man!

I'm under appreciated I think. Maybe I should branch out and diversify. Thanks

Appreciate it! Lots more to come.

My dedicated young watchmaker daughter Billie absolutely loves your channel, and this morning asked me to subscribe so she can learn more. She's self-taught and been watchmaking / restoring for 3 years so she knows a lot more than I would ever realise. I am very pleased for finding you, and wish you a super weekend. Billie and I hope you get lots more subscribers. Thanking you so much, Wendi UK 🌻

@@Aco747lyte Thank you so much Wendi and Billie! really appreciate the comment. If she ever needs any help or advice/tips/tricks let us know we would be happy to help and or include in a future video. You can expect some more restoration videos coming soon.....most likely another rolex or Omega!

@@obrhorologyNice video. A couple of suggestions: consider getting a trinocular microscope with attached camera. Crystal-clear closeups of the watch parts and movements really grab viewers. Second, show the finished, assembled watch from the dial side at the end of each video. This is the "pay off" shot for viewers.

Thanks Dayton! - really appreciate the love from another watchmaker, ill be sure to watch your videos as their posted :)

@@obrhorology Ha ha, as you'll see I'm not a watchmaker! But thank you! I wanted to learn just enough about watchmaking so that I could fully understand the art, and business of watchmaking as it relates to Switzerland where I live. I wish I had learned it much earlier in my life!

@@IMakeWatches if you ever have any questions or need some help feel free to email us, always happy to help mate!

So true! We all have our preferences but sometime you hear some bizarre ways that make you question your sanity 😅😅
