Can I fix this ETA 2824-2 movement with endshake adjustment?! Watch Repair, Junghans Max Bill.

[@VinceAt69]

Again, fascinating. Never realised how important jewels were and never saw jewel tool before. Crystal clear video, would love to see more. Thanks for sharing.

[@therealwatchdoctor]

You're welcome Vinnie, thanks again for your comment!

[@Kevins-Philippine-Retirement]

Beautiful watch! Your work is very meticulous and your descriptions in your videos are clear and concise. I look forward to watching every one of them. Thank you.

[@jackylee3075]

So far the best watch repair KZbin channel. Great to see how mistakes can happen and being rectified professionally. A lot can be learned from the high resolution videos. Salute!

[@therealwatchdoctor]

Thanks for te nice comment Jacky :-)

[@austincalleja8628]

Fabulous video! Very professional both the video and the watchmaker! This is how you should service a mechanical watch. Well done.

[@therealwatchdoctor]

Thank you very much Austin! That makes me happy to hear :-)

[@davidelias90]

Hey man, this is by far one of the best watchmaking channels in youtube. Congratulations for your work!! Thank you for sharing!

[@therealwatchdoctor]

Thanks Dmitri, I do my very best, every day. And then it is nice to hear that this is being appreciated :-)

[@johnnyarsenault9124]

Now I understand why repairing watches is expensive: know-how(expertise), equipment needed, time consuming & the results are impeccable 👌👍❤️

[@therealwatchdoctor]

Thanks Johnny

[@Andreas0705]

If only all customers knew that! 😁

[@fionalang2700]

Wow, what a stunning quality in your videos compared to other "watch-repair-videos". I am glad I have found your channel! Thanks also that there is no music or silly comments!!

[@kswaminathan5439]

Sir, I am truly amazed at the knowledge which you possess and the skill with which you service the watches. I must admit I am a bit jealous at the way you do immaculate service.It will take ages for me to come anywhere near your thoroughbred professionalism. But I am a big fan of yours and continue to be enthralled by your videos. Keep inspiring us with many more such videos. Take care and God bless.

[@therealwatchdoctor]

Wow, thanks K Swaminathan for the nice words and your feedback ;-)

[@awolff2007]

Excellent! Loved seeing the jewel resetting work and I am looking forward to your video on reversing wheels. It is so nice to see an expert perform real watch diagnostics and repair rather than the same old clean and reassemble videos. Also, thank you for not adding annoying filler music!

[@therealwatchdoctor]

Thanks for your feedback Allan, "Also, thank you for not adding annoying filler music!" I will take this into account, there are apparently many fans of 'ASMR' :-) so I will definitely continue to do so.

[@rage8kage]

Damn 6:55 was the most dramatic second of all the watch fettling videos on KZbin! Made me jump!

[@therealwatchdoctor]

Thanks for your comment DR Bulbasaur, I thought it was very important to show this :-)

[@mikeeagletube]

"Vergissing" mooi hersteld, zeer interessant om te zien!!

[@therealwatchdoctor]

Bedankt Mikey ;-). Ik ben ook tevreden met het resultaat :-)

[@paulschumacker9901]

Many thanks for another fantastic video, and thank you for the shout-out regarding my diagnosis! Your technique is meticulous and is an inspiration to novices like myself. I look forward to watching your future works!

[@therealwatchdoctor]

Thanks Paul, that was done with great pleasure! Thanks again.

[@BarnOwl61]

Hoi Dimitri, fijn om te zien dat het toch allemaal goed is gekomen! Erg mooi uurwerk trouwens. Succes met je nieuwe winkel.

[@therealwatchdoctor]

Bedankt Joop, ja inderdaad, het is allemaal goedgekomen :-). Ik ben grote fan van Junghans horloges, de Bauhaus stijl, minimalistisch design.

[@hoffmancapote]

Great video. Thanks for in depth explanation as well as the different parts and oils used.

[@etebol]

well made instructional. Thanks!

[@therealwatchdoctor]

Your welcome Ed Teran, Thanks!

[@bangy55]

Another beautiful job, Dimitri. Thanks for sharing your extensive knowledge. This is definitely going into my 2824-2 folder. :-)

[@therealwatchdoctor]

Thanks Chris, nice to hear that and to see you're back :-).

[@globaltraveller]

Always good to watch your surgeries doctor 😁 Very relaxing. A good job, you deserve a cigar 👍

[@therealwatchdoctor]

Thanks :-). I more like some sweets like chocolate, no cigar please :-)

[@ramoneramlingam3723]

Very very very awesome, can't wait for the next video, nice improvisation for the movement holder to support the centre jewel 😊👌👌👌👌thank you

[@therealwatchdoctor]

"Nice improvisation for the movement holder to support the centre jewel", thanks Ramone, it was good for one time :-)

[@ScaredPilot]

Another job well done! So satisfying to see you put everything back in working order.

[@therealwatchdoctor]

Thanks for the comment Tom :-)

[@182mdavi]

This is an art im really enjoying over the past year (not that I practice it). I work in dental, to me its art, science and chemistry, same goes for your art :) I can really appreciate the microns of difference to make a massive improvement

[@therealwatchdoctor]

Thanks :-)

[@myleswillis]

Amazing skill, and a very ingenious method of supporting the jewel. You were very fortunate to not scratch the dial when the hand spun. I assume that on your second attempt the movement was completely unwound for safety.

[@therealwatchdoctor]

Hello Myles, thanks :-). "I assume that on your second attempt the movement was completely unwound for safety.", yes indeed :-) much safer this way. Thanks for the comment!

[@fsfghghg]

Really well produced video and nice recovery! Just a tip: if one has the automatic bridge installed to fit the hands it supports the 4th wheel pivot and stops either the train bridge from deforming or 4th wheel jewel from moving to the point of unlocking the train.

[@therealwatchdoctor]

Hello Rvw993, that's indeed a good tip, do you first install the automatic bridge and watch case back and then you'll continue with the placement of the hands? Seems like a good way to work.

[@fsfghghg]

@@therealwatchdoctor For me it depends on the style of case, but those that I am usually working on the movement loads in the back. So with the bridge installed I'd attach the dial, fit the hands with the movement laying flat or in a holder, then case it up. If there is any further timing to do after that I'd take the bridge off again. For vintage automatics with indirect centre seconds this is also useful as without the bridge there is nothing to hold the seconds pinion except the friction spring.

[@phillipmaciver3226]

Educational and entertaining, quality work and photography....thank you.

[@therealwatchdoctor]

Thanks Philip! You're welcome ;-)

Hello, my friend Im juan Manuel from Argentina, I started this beautiful world in 2020 as a hobby after I got Covid and I stay 26 day In hospital. I love watche since I was a child. I love your videos and I would like to lern how to adjust a movement For have less variations In the diferent position. Could you make a video with this. Thanks you a lot. Greetings from Argentina my friend.🙏🏻

[@onlyvintagewatches]

Love the work, and of course I subscribed!

[@joshuajuarez3471]

Very nice. Good job.

[@one2black519]

Hi Dimitri, another great job man. That's one of best watchmaker's channel out there :-) You use - I assume - this Horia clone tool. Are happy with it? it does the job great as I see

[@dynamicsinesdynamicsines1161]

interesting, great work- (nicely done)...

[@therealwatchdoctor]

Thanks ;-)

[@RocketSailing]

Nice to see the fix. :) 👍

[@therealwatchdoctor]

Thanks ;-)

[@JonTheComputerDoctor]

Did you need to re service the movement? Great video thank you.

[@cristobalosuna3106]

great video, thanks for showing!

[@therealwatchdoctor]

Thanks Cristobal :-)

[@srchota]

fantastic video. I thought I saw that you have the cloned horia. do you think it works well? have you tried the original? could you compare the 2? Thanks a lot.

[@richm4120]

Hi Dimitri. I look forward to watching your very informative videos. I have learned so much. Could you please provide a link or info on jeweling set used? Thanks so much.

[@jjudelson]

I see you use the chinese jewelling tool. Have you been happy with its quality? Thanks for your excellent teaching.

[@MrAristaeus]

FIRST!!! Really enjoying the video thus far. Awesome lack of music!

[@MrAristaeus]

Seriously great atmosphere and the captions are informative. I can’t tell you how calming it is to see an expert at work with just ambient noise.

[@therealwatchdoctor]

Thanks man, You really like it without music? For me, it is an experiment to see want my viewers like the most. Maybe music is indeed not necessary?

[@therealwatchdoctor]

@@MrAristaeus Thanks for the info ;-) Nice to hear that. :-)

[@MrAristaeus]

@@therealwatchdoctor for me it is not necessary. I like feeling like I am in the room with you whilst you work. You could perhaps intersperse your footage with some selected section of music to lighten the atmosphere at times (like when the second hand busts)... but really, as a rule, the lack of music feels calming because as a viewer I don’t feel like you’re telling me how to feel. Captions are excellent too for this reason. Everything is clear and I can take information at my own rate. Keep up the very good work!

[@therealwatchdoctor]

@@MrAristaeus "You could perhaps intersperse your footage with some selected section of music to lighten the atmosphere at times (like when the second hand busts)" that's a very good idea :-). On 'special' moments I will try to put some good music on it :-). Thanks again.

[@MrSloika]

I've set hands on many ETA movements of this type and never had a problem. I use a hand-held pusher and not the press. It's too easy to exert excess force with the press and damage things or knock them out of adjustment.

[@jaakkok8240]

Really nice and educating fix. But I gotta say that the watch loses a bit of it soul without the original slightly curved second hand. At least it doesn't look like the original on the video but correct me if I'm wrong. Those are probably a bit hard to get as a replacement? 😊

[@wilkinson8707]

Why not just purchase the correct 11 1/2 ligne movement holder? The 2824 It’s one of the most common movements out there, it would save you a lot of time

[@kirch1977]

use bergeon 5409 or Watch Movement Holder with Adjustable Hollow Center Screw. u have to use it when u setting second hand.

[@georgvaht5116]

Hello, I had exactly the same situation, only with Raymond Weil watches on Selita sw 200, I remember being very upset

[@goonwatchmaker7876]

It's a very good project. What camera do you use for filming? can you tell me

[@johnjenin3279]

Hi, enjoy your vid, I have a question, what kind of jewel press you use? I'm thinking of getting one myself

[@chris9413]

Hi :) great video! Could you tell me where to buy this jewelling tool? Kind regards

[@hangwork7377]

Nice! Why the endshake was so small?

[@filipvucko9698]

Hello Dimitri, how long the whole service lasts? Very good videos Thank you

[@therealwatchdoctor]

Hello Filip, count on at least 5 to 7 years maximum. Thanks for the comment.

[@DutchClawz]

Reducing the end shake fixed the problem. But if you had unwinded the watch and fitted the seconds hand without spinning it, would the endshake still pose a problem or interfere with the timekeeping?

[@therealwatchdoctor]

Hello DutchClawz, I don't think there would have been a problem, but the timepiece might still have got stuck, or the pinions might wear more quickly. Hard to say. The endshake was a bit too high anyway, and I should have adjusted this before placing the second hand. My mistake. Nice to hear how this community reacts to this videos and what other watchmakers have already experienced and what method they use. :-) Maybe I should make some mistake again...(just kidding :-) )

[@DutchClawz]

@@therealwatchdoctor Fouten zijn de beste leermeester!

[@a000ab]

If you want to give the explanations through scripts, I suggest to do it like old silent movies; one shot of explanation wherever is needed. That's much smarter than subtitles. Simply because the eye cannot read the text and watch the video at the same time.

[@erzincanli]

You are pushing with that tool on hands more than it needs. All parts become a rigid mechine with screws. And you are pushing to the centre wheel through top to bottom. This can cause move the jewel 0,02mm at 7:08 . All hands needs a direct gentle push. We never use that tool. The only tool we use is tweezer since 132 years.

[@wilkosoft]

Man, I bet that ruined your day! How were you able to get hold of a replacement hand? Love your work.

[@therealwatchdoctor]

Hello Mark, yes indeed I was very shocked, luckily I have my resources to find a new second hand :-)

[@steveblake8766]

#9 Thumbs uP Keep up the great videos!

[@therealwatchdoctor]

Thanks Steve, this time you were quick :-)

[@Yesembee1443]

Why do you require a hands pusher for fixing the center second hand. The job can be easily done with the back side of the tweezer with just a light tap on the center second hand. Luck is in your favour that the center second shaft did not break coz of your crazy handling.

[@solstar4778]

What does ETA stand for ?

[@BiffTannenBTTF]

I wish they would re engineer the hand winding feel of this movement. It’s really horrible. I’ve serviced a few and they always bug me. They feel like a $20 Chinese movement lol.
