How to service a mechanical watch. Part 2. AS 1900 in a Rotary watch

[@56wilson56]

Excellent video. I restore antique clocks as a hobby and after watching your video makes me want to start playing around with watches. Thank you and keep them coming.

[@getlow1985]

I really appreciate you making these videos so elaborately and posting them for all of us to see, so I just wanted to say thank you for that. I greatly enjoy every one of your videos!

[@WatchRepairChannel]

You are welcome :)

[@charleshunt3806]

Dude, I got to say your videos are so detailed. Love it.

[@kennethschapira9571]

These videos are amazing! after watch all of your videos I am going to try to rebuild a seiko 7002 movement. Please keep these videos coming

[@BlackFoxFalcon]

It keeps amazing me what is inside a mechanical watch. I wear a Tag Heuer Carrera Chronograph with an 1887 Caliber. It has a see through back and since I got into watches, sometimes I stare longer into the movement then at the time. Learned a lot. One day I will disassemble a watch myslef. But not the Tag. Was to expensive for an amateur like me to ruin it. Keep the great work up mate!

[@slavapy]

Super useful video You helped me a lot! Thank you!

[@richardyoung641]

superb vids...explained in easy to understand language...thank you.

[@Boerje69]

PLEASE keep on doing more vids! Maybe video about "adjusting" mechanical watches in positions, etc someday?

[@SantiYomaha]

Hi! This is Santiago, from argentina, I´ve seen this video a couple of times now and I finally decided to star writing down the instructios so that I get ready to try servicing my first watch. I really thank you for the job you take to make these videos. I would love to know if when cleaning the watch parts in the cleaning machine you just clean every single part (screws and jewels too). I will be waiting for yur help, thank you again!

[@estebanreocreux4886]

Hello, I have a small question about oil / grease, I have bought moebius 9010,moebius 8000,moebius D5 as oil and moebius8300 as grease, is it enough?(I am a amateur). You do great videos ,thanks from France

[@lyfzgood]

Looking at the mainspring and remembering which way the click goes is not making sense the way your mainspring is in the barrel? What am i missing? Great Videos !!

[@LaberintoAzul]

What a craftsmanship!

[@rain3304]

just amazing to see a watchmaker work thanks for the vid

[@mckimmym]

What’s the center brass piece visible at 9:08? Does that need to be removed during cleaning? I pulled one off of a similar movement I was tinkering with because the wheel would come off below it. Have I wrecked it?

[@anderseriksson4812]

Nice work, looking forward for the third part! I have a question, are the capjewels with holders identical, or how do you keep them separeted? I would like a video showing how you think and manage the parts to remember what goes back where... Especially the screws that sometimes are almost identical in shape and size. Thank you once again for your awesome videos! :)

[@WatchRepairChannel]

Hi Anders, they are all the same. When I first started watch repairing I was taught to make drawings of the watches and notes, after a while you instinctively know where parts go. But if a watch movement is new to you I recommend you use a digital camera and take as many photos as you can as you dismantle the watch. Same goes for screws - you will find that many basic watches are relatively easy to get the screws in the correct place but if you have a chronograph that's different. I find it helpful to screw the screw, loosely, back in place after the component is removed sometimes.

[@anderseriksson4812]

Watch Repair Channel Ok Thank you, that makes sense. I try to take as much images as possible during the dissemble but sometimes it is hard to capture in an image the size of the screw. I see that it looks like most watchmakers have pretty much the same system, when systemizing the parts in front of them and I were wondering if there were some special thought behind it.

[@WatchRepairChannel]

Not really - it's practice.

Great video,ILOVe mechanical watches!

[@MrSloika]

Very informative video. I'm working on a AS 1906 which is the day/date automatic version of the AS 1900, and this video is helping tremendously. I do have one question. The friction pinion on the movement I'm working on is loose. Is there any practical way to tighten it, or should I just purchase a new wheel/pinion assembly from Cousins for £10?

[@tim_mills]

As a film maker of 17 years, and more recently a budding watch maker, all I can say is WOW. You do both with such precision and clarity. Thanks for this channel. Are you Norfolk based by any chance Mark?

[@WatchRepairChannel]

Thank you - that is a kind compliment. I am surprised you picked up the Norfolk in me, my accent is very diluted. But yes, I am from GT Yarmouth but I have not lived there for almost 30 years :)

[@tim_mills]

Gt Yarmouth. You're not missing anything! North Norfolk and Lincolnshire are much nicer. I'm a broadcast audio professional hoping to retrain as a watchmaker to take me the next 25 years to retirement around 70. My grandfather, my great grandfather and my great great grandfather we're all watch makers based in London. I have a Saphin pocket watch made by and handed down from the latter. And a multitude of tools and an Omega Memomatic from the former. I'm looking at ways to study and train without leaving my family penniless for 2 years while I live and study in Manchester. That just isn't an option. In the mean time your films are spot on. THANKS Mark!

Watch Repair Channel Hi Mark. I completed the form on your website regarding your courses for some more information on the courses etc. Could you let me know if you got it please? Thanks. Paul

[@cicco1838]

Amazing craftsmanship thank you for video...

[@Janet_Airlines802]

I looked at the Burgeon mainspring winder. For 85$ you only get the bottom part. Do you have to buy a separate winder for every size spring? They are quite expensive.

[@OldSkoolF]

You would make a very patient Father.

[@a000ab]

So did you use 9010 for all the 3 wheels (2nd, 3rd, 4th wheels)? No D5?

[@Pentoute45]

Awesome job. Really informative and inspiring.

[@WatchRepairChannel]

Thank you Ludovic

[@derekr7814]

@@WatchRepairChannel where did you get the mainspring winder? Where can I order one like that?

[@maurizio700]

Very nice job. Congratulation. 👍

[@__GN__]

Wow excellent work and video. Amazing!

[@walther9161]

If your hands aren’t moving, how do you know how much to tighten the friction pinion?

[@morganparker7571]

After watching most of your vids I have one dumb ? What is that green putty like stuff you use to clean up parts and remove jewels and where do I get it ???? Keep making the vids. Thanks so much Morgan

[@Rob_W]

Morgan Parker It's a product called Rodico.

[@richardtreem1992]

Hi Mark, I was hoping you could clarify something concerning the servicing of the mainspring? I understand that on an automatic movement you have to grease the walls of the barrel, in addition to using 8300 on the spring itself, but in this video you didn’t use any grease or oil in the barrel, just on the spring. Is that the proper procedure for servicing the mainspring in a windup mechanical watch, or was that edited or something? I just don’t want to over lubricate. 😬 Thank you!

[@WatchRepairChannel]

Hi. No need to use braking grease with a manual wound watch.

[@richardtreem864]

Thank you Mark!

[@hanli6680]

I have a Rado Green Horse 11657, AS1789 movement needs to restore; Do you know what size is the Crystal I need? by the way, the watch is not with me right now, so can't measure it. Thanks.

[@BiffTannenBTTF]

No breaking grease on the barrel walls?

[@sebiiau]

I've watched this video a few times now, and every time I am amazed at the steadiness of your hands. In comparison I feel like I have Parkinson's. Is this something that improved over time for you, or were you born with a sniper's nervous system? I find abstaining from coffee and a good night's sleep helps me a lot, but those are the only adjustments that have made an impact. Bench positioning, perhaps?

[@WatchRepairChannel]

I always had steady hands. As long as I have not ben drinking whiskey the night before :D

[@gokuld4014]

Watch Repair Channel hi sir I'm using sewor automatic watch one problem has occurred them bcoz when my watch has shake them minute needle are also rotation them how can I solve that.....

[@grizcuz]

When I was an apprentice machine tool fitter. The older bloke that was training me said [and it's far from PC to say it these days] "Remember this about oiling. Like an ugly lass you've pulled when it's the last dance before closing time in a nightclub. It should be felt rather than seen".

[@sawdust6968]

absolutely remarkable!! well done sir.

[@jesusnapoles6103]

How do you work on watches and record

[@keirtaylor4669]

You're a genius, bud!

[@ajitkapadia8950]

Good.But U hv not shown how to lubricate and what is the name of the lubricant.

[@kevincarroll28]

After watching this I am capable of taking it to a jeweler. I have no business trying this. Leave it to the professionals!

[@Chilly1733]

I’m sure this is obvious but any starting watchmakers should know you don’t have to buy Bergeon everything they are just the #1 choice for professionals. If you’re a hobbyist don’t feel bad about passing on the super high price tags until a later date when you get more comfortable.

[@pacocandano]

top notch videos thank you so much.......

[@WatchRepairChannel]

You are welcome Paco

[@courtneymitsy10]

hi i have a pocket watch the balance is free but when i replace the balance screw it stops what is wrong

[@WatchRepairChannel]

Could be many things, a bent balance staff pivot or incorrectly fitted end stones. But most likely the balance cock needs adjusting

[@paultowey9996]

Your talent is crazy ..I got confused watching it mate hahaha

[@a000ab]

The way you call the 2nd, 3rd, 4th wheels in this video confused me for quite a while. Based on what I have learnt until now, the first wheel after the main spring is call 2nd wheel. The wheel after that is 3rd. And the wheel after that is 4th. So, about this movement, the wheel which has got the friction pinion should be called 2nd. The wheel after that should be called 3rd. And the next wheel (i.e., the center wheel) should be called 4th. But it seems that you use another annotation; What I would call 2nd (the wheel with friction pinion), you call 3rd. What I would call 3rd, you call 4th. What I would call 4th (center wheel), you call 2nd. What's your logic behind this annotation?

[@fergusdunlop8498]

just me thats decided to repair all my watched over lockdown?

[@erikgoettsche9368]

nope. I'm 7 out of 10 watches into fixing up the various quartz watches I've acquired over the years, and am considering an Ebay parts watch build when I finish all that. Mark and a few other channels like his started me into this insanity, and I've been enjoying it thus far.
