I FOUND 39 RUBIES INSIDE THIS GOLD WATCH - GIRARD PERREGAUX RESTORATION - service polishing tutorial

@@NekkidWatchmaker Just a question if I may. I purchased a FC highlife chronograph and the chronograph hand jams for a few seconds when almost reaching 12, then it moves again and does the same thing when reaching 12. Sometimes it jammed completely without moving again. Also the sub seconds also jams when this is happening. I sent it back to the AD and they say it was because the power reserve was low. Is this possible? And should it be happening just because of a low power reserve?

[@jaydee6837]

@@NekkidWatchmaker Hello fine sir. I was wondering if you could look at a photo of my omega and tell me what it is? And secondly, possibly overhaul it if interested? I have one of the most unique and gorgeous vintage omega watches may have ever seen. It is gold, dark blood metallic red dial,1960s era I believe, squarish case, mens, factory diamonds inside on dial, but the biggest thing...the dial is factory sideways/twisted where the 9oclock is where the 12oclock should be. Can I send a photo?

Having watched in awe from your beginnings, ( many iPads & devices later ) I wish to thank you for your humour & reliability during these traumatic times.

What a beautiful restoration. Your cleaning, polishing and describing the errors of previous horologists' work makes this restoration so good because you are not harsh when discussing such faults. Other professionals don't, and neither do you. It is very good, and so pleasing that I feel so honoured subscribing to your channel.

So you're just like 99% of us, except for the ridiculous indiscriminate use of emojis✌️😁

[@smiling_eyes7903]

So I'm guessing you're not an emjoi fan!?!? Emjois are an additional means of expressing myself... like some people clap their hands, jump for joy and/or wave their hands... 🥰🫶🥰😉😘😉 Suck it up buttercup!

[@Michel-7.7.7]

@@smiling_eyes7903 there's a difference between the use of emojis, to express something and firing them indiscriminately, like a 4-year old. One doesn't have to be a fan (like yourself obviously), to use them in a meaningful way, instead of getting more and more excited with every keystroke, manifesting in the use of even more of them. Using more than 3 should be punishable anyways, at least if the perpetrator is older than 4.

This was such a gorgeous restoration. It has everything that makes a repair great: polishing, cleaning, and pointing out all the errors of the previous horologist’s work or attempts to fix the problems. You’re doing an excellent job fixing these forgotten timepieces, and I’m here for all of it. Thank you for always bringing us your best content. I can’t wait to see more of these extraordinary rescues. Stay safe, and we’ll see you on the next one, my friend.

My son asked me what the difference between a passion and a craft is. I got back with him after a couple weeks. I told him a passion you can do well until perfect. And a craft is something you can do perfect without losing passion. Many can get filled with passion, and then when they have had thier fill they loose interest. And a craft last a lifetime. Love watching your craft sir. Look forward to many more of your videos.

[@jozsefizsak]

It's very satisfying to see the attention you paid to showing that an insignificant amount of material was removed by weighing the parts. As well, the careful avoidance of losing sharp edges means a lot for those of us who want to keep the original shape of the case. One would think that would be everyone but apparently not!

The scratches on that torbion, they were epic. It looked like people were using an ice pick to undo the clasp. I guess none of them have undone a clasp before.

[@rbdogwood]

Watching you removing the minimum of gold in the scratch reducing process I wondered if there was such a thing as a peening machine that would gently hammer the surface to batter the dents and scratches away.
