[@marcusaurelius6607]

Amazing workmanship, I’m in awe. Had no idea how complicated a chrono complication is, just wow.

[@therealwatchdoctor]

Thanks Marcus!

[@Eric-W0EDG]

The side by side view of the parts is great. Helps to understand the amount of wear on those components.

[@WatchWithMike]

This has to be the best chronograph video I’ve ever watched. Fantastic production value! Thank you for sharing!

[@JonnaX]

1hr video but he is alive!

[@therealwatchdoctor]

Thanks Jonna-X, nice to see that you are still subscribed :-)

[@elbandidosti]

Amazing, to watch a Pro working, you make this look easy. respect.

[@iperrealista]

Nice, the best way to see how "doctor" work in watches... watching you is a very pleasure 😉

[@SOPHIAFLYGIRL]

Im just starting my journey to professional watchmaker (someday) These videos give me a good idea of who I might wind up working for someday!

[@tammysharonlorettastafford3376]

Well Dimitri,this was spellbinding stuff!I I was hooked from the word go!

[@NOTORIOUS_CODM]

The most detailed video of a watch ,top notch bro

[@therealwatchdoctor]

Thanks man! It took me a lot of time and effort to make this video, so nice to hear that!

[@ernestocamero6403]

I appreciate your oiling guide instructions. I am a watch collector and hobbyist. I began servicing my own watches about a year ago. Oiling in the correct places and with correct oils is critical. Thank you for your guidance.

[@therealwatchdoctor]

You're welcome Ernesto! Thanks for your comment and good luck ;-)

[@EngineMisfire]

Outstanding craftsmanship. This video is worth every minute of it.

[@natives602CC]

the number 12 mark always cracks me up.

[@antiv]

The effort you put into not only the work on the movement but the video and editing is absolutely fantastic. Best watch video I have seen to date. Now I understand why those watches cost what they do… 😬😬😬👍🏾👍🏾

[@josearimateaderezendejunio8328]

The most accurate watch service i ve seen on youtube till now .

[@capohd28]

Never though to use an oil well for locktite! Genius! My dream watch btw.

[@phillipmaciver3226]

Amazing photography...I have an early Speedy and always wondered what a strip down would look like....you make it look so easy, but I don't think I'll be home servicing it!...many thanks for sharing your skills so beautifully. 👏👏

[@therealwatchdoctor]

Thanks for your comment Phillip! I always strive for the best result possible.

[@robmaclennan7769]

Stumbled across this video and even though I don't own an expensive watch I now know why they are priced so high.I enjoyed this.

[@dazza1976]

Great video. Amazing camera work and attention to detail. Noting the part number was especially useful.

[@TonboIV]

I'm impressed that you were able to capture the sound of the minute recorder clicking into place with so little background noise!

[@rock_n_roller]

For such work you need to give an Oscar. Just awesome !

[@therealwatchdoctor]

Wauw! Thanks Rock n Roller :-)

[@jordimartin4249]

Hi Dimitri, I have a Lemania 1873 that i'm servicing, but now it's stoppep waiting for a replacement pice because a broken screw. Thank you for your details in this assembly, and beatiful tools ! Regards

[@therealwatchdoctor]

Thanks!

[@samzerafa3185]

Thank you for your most excellent video , it was worth watching to the end and has given me a better insight to the complicated mechanism that the Speedmaster has !

[@msmalmasri2680]

It is long time we are missing your beautiful voice

[@therealwatchdoctor]

Thanks Almasri, I will be back soon :-)

[@ranjitkumarsaha1302]

Your video is very helpful for me to reassemble the Omega chronograph movement

[@daffidavit]

My .861 is one of the early versions built in about Oct. 1968. It was given to me as a BD gift on July 30, 1969 about 10 days after Buzz Adlrin wore his on the moon. I still have it and it works fine. My girlfriend paid about $275 with a 20% discount at Bamburgers, now Macys. It's pre-lunar and does not have the moon landing stamp on the back. But its not the .321 version that Buzz wore on the moon. The .861 model changed over in 1968 as I understand it. There is an extra jewel and a plastic replacement part. It runs at a higher frequency and is more accurate. It's over 50 something years old and looks brand new.

[@tdbn4599]

Hey watch doctor I appreciate your videos. I am a humble hobbyist and your channel has been a invaluable source of information. You should look into having a patreon account or some other platform besides amzn. I would gladly show my support. I get my supplies from a local shop in my city.

[@maxwatchm]

Thank you so much for the video. It is a pleasure to see you working on this great caliber and learn from you. Thanks again.

[@egbertkuijpers1387]

Groot respect voor je kennis en grote kunde...vakwerk... Uitmuntend camerawerk dat een duidelijk beeld geeft van de minutieuze precisie die bij het assembleren van dit uurwerk komt kijken. Nogmaals, grote klasse👍🏼

[@therealwatchdoctor]

Bedankt Egbert ;-). We doen ons uiterste best, en dan is het steeds fijn om te horen dat dit gewaardeerd word. Fijne dag!

[@jangoedkoop7227]

Great video about restauration of Omega Speedmaster, thank you...

[@magnumpunch]

Should deserve a million views

[@joseraulbuarquecosta3994]

Simply fantastic. I have this watch... now I could see inside... amazing. Thanks a lot.

[@tgoldfisher]

Wow! That was amazing! Thank you for taking the time to put this vid together.

[@therealwatchdoctor]

Thanks Tgoldfisher. It took me indeed a lot off time to record it also in very closeup... but I am very satisfied with the result so :-)

[@zebxzaif8803]

well done master, well done, such a precised work

[@therealwatchdoctor]

Thanks! :-)

[@petercampbell3828]

Well I understand why we haven't seen a video in a while. This must have taken a long time to edit. Excellent video and beautiful watch. I don't think that I've seen so much grease used in a movement! Your tools are as beautiful as the watches that you work on. I do have a question. When pressing on the chronograph driving wheel, how do you know the correct height? Does it bottom out, or do you actually measure it some how? Thank you for a wonderfully comprehensive video.

[@mcberto4969]

Welcome back! Been looking forward to this video.

[@therealwatchdoctor]

Thanks Andy! Nice to be back :-) and nice to see my subscribers are coming back also :-)

[@shaunmiller4054]

Thank you for taking your time and patience, outstanding presentation, and letting us watch your process and handling techniques. I've learnt some tips and tricks and will use them in my daily work. Thanks

[@arnoudstigter]

And he is back! Thank you for another stunning and informative video.

[@therealwatchdoctor]

Thanks Arnoud :-)

[@fredrik.larsen]

Amazing work! Thank you for sharing. This is so interesting to watch. I'm amazed by how little oil is applied. And also the number of different viscosities. Perhaps you could elaborate on the importance of oil?

[@ScaredPilot]

Long time no see Dimitri! Looks like you have collected several months worth of playback time in one video. Your video is easily among the best in all KZbin watch repairs in terms of capture quality, magnification and illumination. Keep it up!

[@therealwatchdoctor]

Thanks, and nice to see you back Tom! Much appreciated your comment :-)

[@josearturoorellanahernande3202]

Thanks my friend... I think so to see your next video .. see you soon..

[@andre-dx4yw]

fantastic job! i have stripped cleaned an eta 2824, but too nervous of chronos just yet! i will come to your country with my speedy moonwatch for service and be confident it will be looked after. had to subscribe. cheers

[@therealwatchdoctor]

Thank you very much :-)

[@louisjean3230]

formidables images....de la chirurgie. Bravo.

Thank you taking the time to do this! A true artisan my friend! Amazing video

[@therealwatchdoctor]

Thanks Cote Cote, you're welcome!

[@Sams911]

would love to see this done on a "Ed White" Cal 321 variant with column wheel ... whether the new one, or a vintage model..

[@shyamchaudhari2499]

Fantastic work 👍👍👌👌

[@Miguelito63No1]

great, excellent job, I want to learn more, GOD bless You

[@masterwatch]

excellent video.

[@therealwatchdoctor]

Thanks!

[@kingofschlager]

Hypnotic...! Thank you!

[@LD-bf1mi]

Great work. You have some magnificent OEM Omega tools. Did the customer not want the bracelet refinished? Seems like the shiny mid links could use a polish.

[@manuelpachecaarcos7521]

Impresionante , IMPRESIONANTE DE VERDAD !!!!!! espero algún día tener una 4 parte de tu maestría . Un saludo . Sigue

[@zackdougherty]

hello! thank you for this fantastic video. What are the two secondary plungers for on the movement holder?

[@mikeeagletube]

Fijn om weer een video van u te zien, had ze al gemist 😊👍

[@therealwatchdoctor]

Bedankt Mikey! Ja, inderdaad een hele tijd geleden. Maar ik heb het ontzettend druk gehad de laatste tijd. Jammer genoeg kruipt er zeer veel tijd in in het maken van deze video's. Maar kwaliteit is voor mij het belangrijkste. Groeten!

[@robertocalles9746]

[@paynemax3825]

Awesome ❤️ Thank you!

[@therealwatchdoctor]

Thanks Max Payne ;-)

[@lucianolandi7307]

I missed the part where you reassemble the buttons on the watch case and kindly ask you if they have a gasket and eventually need to be lubricated. Thank you.

[@captainturbo4164]

Superb and mesmerizing........brilliant 👍👍

[@therealwatchdoctor]

Thanks Turbo!

[@geobel1669]

[@internettrihard2955]

Oh man these are great. My holly grain chronograph will always be Zenith Al Primero (first chronograph) however And you can’t go wrong with a few vintage Seiko was well!

[@therealwatchdoctor]

Thanks Trihard. I also LOVE Zenith watches and Seiko as well!

[@radothutagalung8515]

thank you i learned a lot from your video 🤝🤝🤝

[@therealwatchdoctor]

Thanks Radot!

[@tommychuckles7199]

Saving this for an evenings viewing! I mentioned on another video you did about my 1861 chrono minute hand being a tad to the right when zeroed(can only see it with the eyeglass)and I was of the belief that this is within tolerance. Could you confirm this is so? Many thanks for your videos,fascinating viewing!

[@therealwatchdoctor]

Thanks Tommy, there is always a little bit of tolerance, perfection doesn't exsist but we try to chase it :-)

[@tommychuckles7199]

@@therealwatchdoctor Many thanks for your feedback,puts my mind at rest.Best wishes.

[@ccw5886]

Magnifique!

[@ranjitkumarsaha1302]

I like the video. It is Impressive

[@TrojanStarryNight]

Hi Dimitri, this was a fantastic video. I own a 1971 Flightmaster caliber 911 with continuous seconds hand. I need to replace the chrono driving wheel 1710 along with chrono friction spring, chrono wheel 1705 and coupling wheel 1712. My question, how do you remove chrono driving wheel 1710 and wear can I obtain the holder to support the jewel to install and press fit the new wheel. I have search the internet and cannot locate the Omega 506W002692 holder. I assume it's an Omega part, is there an optional holder to use? I am a watch enthusiasts in the USA. Thanks

[@roadgent7921]

45:42 Are those 2 big screws in correctly? They look cross threaded!!!

[@marcelovs818]

Amazing

[@dr.emilschaffhausen4683]

Does the time have to be somewhere specific before attaching the hands, or just on an hour?

[@piergiorgiotrento117]

Bravissimo, grazie.

[@rolandojesushernandezsanch7355]

Bello video compre un reloj icono de esos ref 145022-69 ST me parese fantástico su trabajo

[@therealwatchdoctor]

Thanks!

[@askmelater3662]

wow thanx a lot, enjoyed it a lot. can one buy all the parts for that movement? if so, where? or is it just for watchmakers to buy? thanx

[@pacopizarro5898]

Sencillamente, magistral.

[@allanbattad5276]

which caliber is the best, 321, 861 or 1861 . . . ?

[@Karol235]

very nice, very clean and very precise. You have a lot of expensive tools, I work with watches too, and I don't even have half of what you do ... and I would like to have such personalized tools, very cool. I have to do shopping :) This week I made an omega 911 and the next one I have a 910. I can ask about the liquid in which you washed this omega? How could I contact you?

[@therealwatchdoctor]

Thanks Karol, "I can ask about the liquid in which you washed this omega?" I will make a video about that in the near future. Contact: [e-mail]

[@TheManatilla]

Why were there so many scratches on the surfaces? That jewel at 19:59 looks like it was attacked and dug out in the past!

[@briancarruthers1738]

I've noticed that on non rotating parts such as the stem square and yolk pivot, you only lubricate in one place. Since these parts don't rotate or only rotate through a few degrees, surely they are dry on the surface that wasn't lubricated?

[@brianwu999]

Thank you

[@therealwatchdoctor]

Thanks!

[@Hoopyfrood345]

There are repeated references to 1861 movement parts throughout the video, yet the movement being reassembled is an 861? Are the parts functionaly the same? The difference being the plating material?

[@sharfansha7604]

I like this video😍

[@simonemei5862]

Amazing video! I'm a super beginner and would like to ask you what is the difference between Moebius 9504 and HP-1300? Thanks for your reply. Simone

[@timfox5341]

Perfect.

[@SC2Edu]

I've seen many videos of people servicing watches, they usually don't apply any oils.. does it mean they just cut down those parts or ??

[@therealwatchdoctor]

Certainly, because oiling is one of the most important things during maintenance.

[@nss-diver]

Epic VDO thank you. Now I'm afraid to wear my watch.

[@luchomazzitelli2980]

Felicitaciones espectacular

[@skydernet]

Amazing video!!! Please keep sharing. What microscope are you using to inspect the parts?

[@jaumeroca6256]
