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?

@VintageWatchServices Күн бұрын
Hello Marjorie, thanks and cool to hear! I honestly do not remember, but if you have a set of mainspring winders, try them inside the barrel drum until you find the one that just fits. It's probably 3, 4 or 5

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!!
@VintageWatchServices
@VintageWatchServices 5 күн бұрын
Thanks for your rant/comment! 😁 Yep, water resistance is a confusing and frequently misunderstood topic, which is why it's always better to be on the safe side. And I think your point about disclaimers is absolutely spot on, with manufacturers definitely covering their butts by telling customers to not actually trust what their watches say with regards to water resistance. That said, a 3 ATM watch really isn't intended to be taken down into the water, it's generally not even considered safe for wearing in the shower. To take a watch into the water you should have at least a 5 ATM rating or preferably 10ATM. But hey, I'd be very happy if you volunteer for a live experiment to take one of your 3ATM watches diving and tell me what happens! Getting some real data would be awesome :) 😊

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.

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.😊

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.
@VintageWatchServices
@VintageWatchServices 12 күн бұрын
£150 and £180 for a service is actually very low and if you get a good service for that price you should probably go for it, if the watch means anything to you. If it's all the same, then yeah... it's unfortunately how our society works these days 😔
