[@gerardversteege8172]

Hoi Kalle en Edwin, mooi werk zijn jullie aan het doen. Echt vakmanschap! Super gaaf om dit te zien.

[@scottbarlow389]

Doing a fantastic job, I know the detector that found it and I was the one who just about worked out the serial number behind the link, it's great to see it coming along and I cannot wait to see the outcome of the restoration, doing an amazing job, well done.

[@ChronoglideWatchmaking]

So nice to hear from you Scott, maybe we’ll meet end of September.

The balance spring looks like it's in pretty decent shape!

[@ericsherer3505]

Your enthusiasm for this work really shows. Can't wait to see final results.

[@jeffreydheere4737]

Fascinating. Thank you for filming each step.

[@jeff11oo]

[@johnnyarsenault9124]

Hats off to you & team, the work is like a Tibetan Monk ordeal, the fine work will make a fine watch at the end😅! The minute repeater that we hear in the background sounds beautiful too! All the best, Johnny

[@richardkent2200]

Just started watching and salivating already

[@adfpv1153]

Excellent Kalle really can’t wait for the outcome.

[@simonclegg5301]

Well done Kalle and your fantastic team. This job really does showcase what a talented group you are. Thanks for sharing again. I look forward to the next instalment. Cheers

[@ColinPye-q1w]

Will you be able then to retain the thread or would you have to re tap

[@gioc4596]

Wow, glad to see what would have been a lost cause, slowly but surely heading in the right direction.

[@timmovanderput6109]

top werk Kalle en team

[@johnmc3562]

Edwin! What a Dude!! So jealous of the skills. 😀

[@ReiMonCoH]

You have my attention every time you make a vid. I SO appreciate you doing this. A level of professional instruction I could never get. Bravo sir👏🏻

[@richardkent2200]

Genius stuff

[@mullrump2]

Incredible!

[@Kees_vH]

Wat doen jullie toch mooi werk diep respect

[@jeffmayhew4148]

I absolutely love this series, and the meticulous effort and skill represented! However, I have to ask: is it cost effective? 🤨

[@markgardiner5150]

Continued great work by you and your team!

[@ColinPye-q1w]

Kalle you said Edwin is grinding out the screw heads to remove other parts how then do you remove the remaining thread , Colin black cab London

[@ChronoglideWatchmaking]

Just repeat the process with a smaller drill (milling attachment)

[@boydsargeant7496]

Love it Kalle, awesome!

[@dougc314]

I can't wait to see how you extract the screw shafts.

[@AmandaGelien-gd8kd]

One EXPENSIVE old Rolex cow dung it should go to the Rolex museum

[@ToddGodfrey]

Do we have any sense of final cost with this job? Just fascinating.

[@vascovisser]

Awesome update and nice to see Fat Bertha in action again! How are you going to remove the decapitated screws from the plate?

[@arnoudstigter]

I think the cow that had this watch for lunch was named big Bertha 😊

[@RoderikvanReekum]

Was it extremely early or extremely late? Great work as well!

[@cruisemissle87]

The cow is nice. The Rolex too. But what happened with the Nomos you started service on?

[@ElderPinto254]

Bedankt Kalle !!! voice over was goed hoor😜hahaha langwinderig(not) lol was weer erg leuk!

[@suvidhvongpunsawad4]

Mrkelleslapp youarethemasterofallwatchmakerinthe world thankyouverymuch foreducatus

[@Valery9128]

You are like an archeologist erasing layer by layer of time from the watch surface.

[@richf5967]

Can I ask if soaking in Alum would work to dissolve the screws (and any other left over steel) or is there something steel you wan to keep? Just asking because I have done it to removed a dial screw for an otherwise stripped main plate

[@terryford7168]

At what point does the watch become a new watch? That is how much of the original parts do you have to reuse for it to be a restoration?

[@trevorjenkins3934]

Kalle, a slot mill has two flutes and can both plunge cut and side cut. An end mill has several flutes and should only cut on the diameter and not plunge cut. You showed an end mill. If that is what was used and it worked, then 👍 But ideally a slot mill should be used. Although I have to admit that in my tool making past, I never used such a small cutter.

[@rehajm]

I need to remove two case screws in the case back that secure an Omega back winding movement. I’m thinking of trying the flat mill route….

[@parcydwr]

As you like rust... I am wondering which Rover cars you like?

[@ChronoglideWatchmaking]

Love my Rover P5b saloon from 69, rust is never far away 😀

[@kjellarnedrag9915]

Couldn’t the ultrasonic cleaner help på loose up dirt and screws that are stuck?

[@ChronoglideWatchmaking]

It did, but only got us so far.

[@SideWalkAstronomyNetherlands]

So, how you remove the rest of the screw? Drill it out with a thinner drill?

[@drbobsnightmare2521]

@@SideWalkAstronomyNetherlands an E-Z out and a very small drill bit probably

[@problemwithauthority]

Kalle, I have small tungsten carbide drill bits that do not bend or drift off of center.

[@vascovisser]

What drill bits are this?

[@problemwithauthority]

@@vascovisser on the largest online seller, do a search for "tunsten carbide wire drills" they are often used for PCB drilling.

The hairsping appears to be in remarkably good condition. Is the jewel on the balance cock missing?

[@Tiocacike]

Oh noooo!!! Bertha IS blind!!!! Where are his beautiful and sexy eyes???😅😅😅

Let's all ruminate!

yeah lets do that

The voice over is mostly sluggish and long-winded. So this all makes the video tiring. Anyway, the topic makes it well worth it. Positive criticism 😉
