How to Wind and Set an Automatic (or Mechanical) Wristwatch - Watch and Learn #12

[@andrewlineberger7544]

Thank You Sir!!! Im 50 years old and jus started learning about mechanical watches..Thank you for the wealth of knowledge!!! Much Love from Denver NC!!

[@javiermurcia5053]

Very educative, indeed! Thank you I always set the time to 6 o' clock, either am or pm(At that moment there is no way for me to know it) avoiding the "danger zone"(9:00pm to 3:00am). Then I set the day and date one position before the current day and date. Right after that, I pull out the crown and rotate it setting the time until I see the day and date change to the current day and date and that is the moment I become aware the watch is set to Am. Finally I set the time to my current time zone according my atomic watch. Sorry about my english.

[@islandwatch]

Perfect, and so is your English!

[@JohnThomas-su5bw]

I do the same thing.

[@rickyny78]

Thank you Javier, very well explained.

[@cqubes2452]

Thank you very much @Javier Murcia for the clear instructions on how you set your automatic date/time watch. Do you wind the watch before you begin? If so, would shaking or, if available, manual wind via rotating the crown be recommended?

[@RampartPh]

i do this too except i start the process at the 6:30 position irregardless if it's am or pm

[@paulwinkfield6560]

Thanks for this video! I've collected watches for 50 years, when I was 13yrs old, on my paper route there was an old watchmaker who had a shop on my route,purchased a Tissot manual wind answered my questions, he also said if not broke, don't fix! But I heard from other watch repair guys, collectors the 10 yr rule, CLA...

[@RecicledCanadian]

I have mechanical background and I agree 100% with you "If is not broken DO NOT try to fix it". Very good , informative video, I have learned a lot. Thank you for sharing. Greetings from Toronto.

[@islandwatch]

Thank you!

[@peterbdavies]

I agree. Just sent in my Rolex Oyster Datejust for its first service. Had it on my wrist for 30 years! Started losing a minute a day so time for a service.

[@HarryUnchained]

@@peterbdavies wow, did you need to replace anything inside the movement? most of us don't even wear the same watch for a month let alone 30 years.

[@peterbdavies]

@@HarryUnchained It was an 18th birthday present so it was natural to keep wearing it. Once it started losing time that was when I was able to indulge my love of watches and buy quite a few. Now my Rolex is serviced it keeps perfect time but I hardly ever wear it. I have no idea whether anything inside had to be replaced, Rolex didn't say. I would imagine the main issue was lubrication. I reckon it's good for another 30 years now! :-)

[@robc8468]

i agree mostly but do prompt and regular oil changes on your car.

[@jayanthkumar7964]

Mark does so much for the community! Thanks, Mark!

[@jamesmcnary4939]

I completely agree with you about servicing. From what I’ve leaned it’s like an engine rebuild. The entire thing is taken apart and cleaned and broken parts are replaced. Then it’s re-lubricated. On both a car and a watch I think you’ll know when this needs to be done.

[@Johnny-xy7en]

Thank you for a very in depth comments on winding a watch. I have never heard anyone say you should wind a watch while wearing it during the day to keep the winding spring taut. Watches are made to run that way. Now that you have said it, that's why my watchmakers always wind my watch fully before giving it to me. Thank you

[@37gcona65]

You are a brilliant teacher. I am 61 and disabled RN, bored out of my mind. I used to repair my cars and learn to fix just about anything. I recently inherited some very old watches. I want to teach myself with reading and watching videos like yours how to repair and restore some very nice old watches. I need to by the correct tools first. Some I probably have. Do you have any videos that show how to clean the watch face without damaging it? Thanks so much.

[@islandwatch]

Thanks so much. Do you mean the dial? Or the crystal? Dials are tough to clean; can use Rodico putty.

[@37gcona65]

Thanks for your reply. I would like to try to clean the dial of the watch and the acrylic crystal. I have a Vintage mens Longines 18K rectangular. It says"Cuervo y Sorbrinos Unicos Importadores on the watch face. 4276484 is stamped on the back of the watch, inside the back there is a 5 and 86 with a circle around it and then F then another number 947N. This watch works and has an acrylic crystal. I want to clean the watch and try to sell it to a collector. Or wear it myself. I have a mens Gruen Precision Rectangular Watch, number 1111220 and it is 14 K White Gold. engraved on the sides. Really beautiful, it is not working but the crown winds backwards but not forward. And I have a ladies Baume Mercierr 14K with diamonds around the outside and a braided band that is 14K, Quartz so I need to change the battery. And a Rolex Oyster Perpetual Official Certified Cronometer 801108 6100. The second hand if off the part that holds it in and the only way to get the back off is with a tool that I have yet to see on any video. there are tiny grooves around the entire back of the watch. I cannot figure out how to open it. Do you know any collectors of vintage watches that you could refer me to. I want to buy some watch tools and try to clean them.Any products for cleaning I would greatly appreciate your advice. Gina

[@davidschwager1153]

Many thanks for the education. A gift of a 1950s Bulova early this year got me interested in watches and I have been studying them since, largely through KZbin videos like yours. I placed an order with you for my first automatic watch (a Seiko SKX007) and am looking forward to wearing it and learning more.

[@daylehenshel4176]

Wow. I'm a watch-guy's daughter and have been around watches my entire life, and I learned things here I never knew. Thanks for the fascinating lessons. I came for a lesson on how to get my dad's old automatic Bulova Caravelle man's day/night 24h international timezone watch moving better, and how to jump start the selfwinding action. I wore this all last summer, and it has a tendency to take a long time to get in gear and keep accurate time. What I did learn was that I could actually wind it to get it started (lots faster than shaking/twisting). Perhaps it does need a visit to a watchmaker/repair place, since it's just not getting gear at all right now, but thanks for your video.

[@coffeeisgood102]

Good video. Many people are used to Quartz and have no idea of the difference between those and a mechanical. I would add that even tho a watch can be wound on the wrist, it should be removed before winding. This is because when on the wrist there is an upward pressure on the stem which puts stress on it as the thumb and finger maneuver between the wrist and the crown. I have that same Rougios, they are a great watch.

[@islandwatch]

Thank you for sharing that great advice. Makes total sense.

[@jasgsxr2726]

Thanks Mark love the way you present your video's and the information is invaluable to me. My grandfather is a mechanic and has the same philosophy, if its not broke dont fix it, something that has always stayed with me.

[@islandwatch]

Thank you!

[@runrin_]

took 12 videos to officially make a sale. its like you can have a one on one chat with every viewer as if they'd walked into your small local shop. learned a lot, and developed trust. such a quality salesperson. not even trying to sell me, just trying to pique my interest. if i could give you a million more sales i would. next purchase will definitely be thru you as well. thanks thanks thanks thanks!

[@rokfam]

Thank you very much for this. I just got my Seagull Diver - Barents Sea (green face, limited version 300m ST2130) - and when I heard the smooth hand winding sound, I thought something was wrong - you have clarified it for me. It's my very first automatic, having admired them as a youngster, but never owning one myself. Finally, I have one very decent piece of my own. Your videos led me to make the purchase. Thank you and best regards to you and your viewers

[@EddyWoon]

Your comment "if it's not broken, don't fix it" was also used by my engineering lecturers back in my university days. I too prescribe to that same thinking regarding my automatic watches.

[@islandwatch]

Glad I'm not alone!

[@majno44]

I also do that to my car, no oil changes until it starts behaving strangely! Wish me luck

[@donnathomas7302]

Long time lover of watches, but just getting into horology. I have worked as a nurse since 1978 and in March I left bedside nursing. I wanted a "retirement" type watch and the hospital I work gives out diamond pens for my service, but no watches. I appreciate the basic newbie information in your video and your accent is great!Thanks

[@islandwatch]

Thanks for watching!

[@tommyoo771]

Thank you so much long island watch. Before i did not appreciate the design of a skeleton watch and now after watching your video, i came to realise the purpose of such design and now accumulating a love for it.

[@markanthonyking]

Very informative, being new to the automatic watch, I’m learning.

[@enzowarren9832]

I just ordered my first hand-wound watch, so thank you for this. This was quite helpful. I got a limited-production Timex Marlin (the blackout one) which is a reissue of a 1960s dress watch. I don’t like the maintenance requirement of mechanical watches, but this watch is the most beautiful watch I’ve ever seen, so I had to get it. Looking forward to it’s delivery!

[@larryj.1991]

I've just spent the evening viewing about 12 of your videos. Your sense of what is of interest and your focus on the subject on hand made them very educational. I just made my first serious (for me) watch investment, and that made me want to learn more. You've given me a great education, and you have helped to reaffirm that I made a pretty good decision. Thank you. You have also presented yourself as a stand-up guy in whom one could have confidence as being honest and fair.

[@islandwatch]

Thank you!

[@tyroneshoelaces9742]

Thanks Marc. I greatly appreciate the way you describe things. You talk in a way that makes it simple for me, as a newbie watch enthusiast, to understand. I have learned a bunch in the month that I have been checking out your vids.

[@islandwatch]

Thanks for watching!

[@stevenw9247]

I like your thought about not having the watch serviced if it's still working.

[@bradypatterson1891]

Your intuitive logic about servicing is exactly the same as mine.

[@rgama78]

Love that we can actually see examples of what you're talking about, learned a lot, thanks!

[@davidviner4932]

Thank you Mark, I watch all of your videos and I'm very impressed. I just bought a new automatic watch today, my old Raymond Weil stopped working and it's great to understand how automatic watches work, to be honest I simply shook the watch a few times and have worn it since without winding, it's still ticking away and keeping good time. It was funny that the sales associate thought it might need a new battery when he took it out the box

[@islandwatch]

LOL

[@mansell863]

Answered the questions I've been wondering about winding for a while.

[@JJ-lx6sb]

What a great video! Just put on my first hand winder and l wanted to learn more how they work. Your demos were very helpful, thank you.

[@siddhunkarthik]

Beautiful explanation. I have a citizen automatic watch. I was wondering these many days why I never feel the main spring end sounding completion while I am hand winding by crown. Now, I understand about its mechanism. ( however when I wear it on my wrist, while doing my duties, it winds so nicely on it's own way and does perform so well).

[@BolFelix]

That Graf Zeppelin LZ129 is so nice! Handwind, power-reserve, date, open back and date? nice!

[@islandwatch]

Thanks! Its gorgeous in the hand.

[@icycreed79]

Long Island Watch which do you like better.. the Zeppelin or the Junkers @ those price points??

[@Animalkisser]

"If your watch keeps time, don"t service it". Great advice!!!

[@Hobby-zn7ce]

I've seen a lot of videos but you display exceptional communication and functional expertise. I know this is a few years old but would like to see you address the function of the reserve power indicator and what makes it tick, if you haven't already.

[@raymondmalone9721]

Best educational video series for watch people on KZbin, keep up the great work👍👍

[@islandwatch]

thanks!

[@slam854]

Your comments about watch service at end of videos was helpful. New Pressage I got from you suggests in the manual to have the watch serviced after 2 years. This will be a timepiece which will not get worn very often. I do have watchwinders, but my thoughts are why wear the mechanism unnecessarily by keeping it running all the time. Important note you made on setting a stopped watch. You first need to observe the day/date complication advance so you know what "time quadrant" you are in. I inherited a pristine Wakmann Panda Chronograph 71.1309.70 with a most complex day/month/date complication. On top of that it has a power reserve of about 32 hrs if you are lucky. Stopped running shortly after I wound it up. Took it to "Official Time" here in Salt Lake. Leo inspected the watch and said it had never been serviced and stopped from a broken date wheel. He said Rolex uses the same part which are in stock. Official Time are Omega and Rolex certified service center. Leo stated he had owned an identical watch in the late 60's and mine was in extraordinary condition. He serviced and regulated the watch.which is in perfect running condition. Keep the videos coming, and Thank You

[@luctardif8444]

Very good video, few people explain it that good. Thanks.

Thank you for the video. Can’t wait to share with my Dad. I have not been successful describing the differences

[@henrylombard1965]

Just loving this series.

[@markcrume]

Thank you sir, I am up and running with my auto watch. Thank.

[@lanceuppercut7436]

Excellent video Marc. Very instructional and easily understandable for me also. I now know I can't over wind the Samurai I just bout from you. Cheers👍🏻🙏🏻

[@islandwatch]

Great!

[@ryanthomas84]

Hi @Mark and @longislandwatch, I just got my very FIRST Seiko 5 and LOVE it! But I did have a question... I am in a wheelchair born with Spina Bifida. A. How often shall I do the Seiko shake? B. Will I ruined my watch with my reputations of pushing my wheelchair? Thank you for all you do!

[@d6jvb]

Great video! I was one of the "question providers" but forgot to mention my two watches are a Seiko SKX007 diver (auto - no manual winding, screw down crown) and a Seiko SARB035 (auto + manual winding) so the examples you gave were a great fit. Serendipitous discovery: my wife's watch, an Orient ladies model, is not only auto like we thought, but hand windable as well! Oh, and all our watches are from Long Island Watch :-)

[@islandwatch]

Ah, great store. I hear wonderful things about them :) Thank you for watching!

[@imranchowdhury4972]

You are really a gem of guy. For the first time after watching for last 5 years I found saying there is no need to do a servicing unless you have a problem with your watch. In youtube all watch guy will suggest you to go for a servicing in every 5 years. I don't know if they want to make the watchmakers happy. But you are very reasonable and thanks a lot for your nice teaching on mechanical and automatic watches. Many thanks Mark.

[@islandwatch]

Just my opinion! I could be totally wrong, LOL

[@eatmelily]

I have that Swatch Irony...I bought new in about 1993 or so. I really liked that watch, and it's a bit of an Irony, it only worked about 2 years until it quit. Not sure what happened, but that was my only Swatch I ever bought......

[@skullcrusher4262]

Man , you're truly amazing with watches

[@heshumajid8899]

Many thanks for this fully informative rich content tutorial video on how to wind and set a mechanical watch. I learned a lot from it. Keep your amazing videos up plz.

[@itsallrobbish]

Great video, I thought it was a bit noddy (easy) at first, but became more informative by the minute, superb stuff!

[@islandwatch]

I am here to rest your mind and educate, all while not being aware :-)

[@shmendrik213]

[@kirkdarling4120]

@Mark, thank you for all your informative and educational videos. They are so very valuable.

[@adamn2022]

Hey Marc, could you do a watch and learn on the hacking mechanism in automatic movements? I know there's not much to it, but there's really no other video that goes into the detail that this series' videos gives us viewers.

[@islandwatch]

Hmmm, I could try! Let me think about that one a bit.

[@mynamehaschanged]

Great video, thanks for the advice about the service.

[@kyleweber1994]

Another great video, Marc. That blue-hand skeleton watch is gorgeous. I've been into watches for a couple years now and I definitely learned some new information here.

[@islandwatch]

Great, thanks!

[@WalterDavidRiffmon]

Great first 2017 vid! One of my take-always is that hand winding an auto past the "clutch" may actually cause the watch to slow down. Unless I'm not understanding one of your statements, I concluded that if the mainspring slips as a result of a lot of handwinding, the spring will release energy and will result in decreased power reserve. A watch without a torque control at the end of its power research may slow a bit. Thanks Marc.

[@islandwatch]

The amount of energy release as a result of the slip is minimal.

[@QuasarPolaris]

Super informative video! I watched the whole way through and there were a couple of things I didn't know. However, I'd like to suggest a small edit. You seem to categorize an automatic watch and a "mechanical" watch as distinct mechanisms. However, an automatic watch is a mechanical watch. The other type of mechanism is a manual-wind watch. They are both mechanical watches. These both mechanisms actually fall under the Mechanical category. Thus, there are two types of Mechanical watches; Automatic watches and Manual-wound watches.

[@DonEdward]

I'm really interested In watches now, and it's great to see a fellow long islander does KZbins about them! I really like skeleton watches, where you can see the mechanics moving. I would really like your take on the best looking / functioning mechanical or automatic skeleton watches!

[@islandwatch]

Check out the Seagull skeleton watches; those are super cool and great quality.

[@DonEdward]

Long Island Watch thanks for the reply! I saw a bunch of great ones! What do you think of the #RG305SS by Rougeois? I wonder of the white numbers can be made into gold? Some manufacturers can change that option, right?

[@DemCrumblies]

One of the most helpful videos of there, or is appreciated Mark.

Glad I watched this again, its so informative and reassuring to know what I am doing is the right way. Great presentation and brilliant demonstration

[@allopeth]

Hi Mark! I love your videos. However I am an amputee and I don't have arms. I wish I could have more videos on watches that I could wear, could you do any watch and learn on watches for amputees? thanks!

[@r32legends]

Sorry to ask but how did you write this

[@robertofuentes9759]

Thanks Marc, another great video. Part way through the video there's a note not to set the time or date between 9pm and 3am...could you explain? Thanks

[@robertofuentes9759]

Thanks. I would have thought that might be something rather important to mention in the video. I'm glad I was paying attention to it and caught the flash on the screen.

[@islandwatch]

I actually neglected to discuss it, thus the note. I have added some descriptive text now to the video description above, so you can read a bit about it. But, I did discuss it in much greater detail in Watch and Learn #1.

[@icycreed79]

Love the videos!!! The knowledge you leave is pretty much like the automatics... timeless

[@homermunoz5069]

Excellent explanation Mark. Thank you.

[@jaythomas2651]

What are your thoughts on setting time by going counter clockwise? I’ve always heard it’s not a good idea but is it valid?

[@Ta_nuz]

"if it doesn't need it, why do it".. my philosophy exactly. 👍

[@viktory5385]

Another great video from Marc , I really enjoy watching this series of videos , keep going mate ! Just another idea to consider for the future videos , I think it would be really interesting to see a video on how to regulate automatic watches yourself and if it is at all possible . Because I've often stumbled upon threads where people had their seikos and orients running about +-40 seconds a day and there were a lot of comments that it is possible to get them regulated yourself. I don't know if it is worth the risk to open the case back yourself and if there is any risks at all , if you could make a video about it that would be awesome.

[@islandwatch]

I've thought about this one. It's a double edge sword; great information to give, but then we've got people opening their watches and then you know what that means! Parts everywhere : )

[@remonmicheal8753]

Good job thank you for the information you are an honest person thank you again

[@toddcooper9057]

Your videos are very very good!!! Thank you!

[@tahoe829]

Very well done Thank you Mark. I was worried becauae i have an older Tissot Le Locle Chronometer from 2012 that has a 2824-2 Cosc certified watch. I wear it its awfully accurate at like .8 spd fast and gave it a rest so i could do add some data points for my timing run. I have watchcheck app. Anyway i was worried that by handwinding when i dont wear it for a day would harm the spring or movement. I have read alot of horror stories about NOT handwinding and then others that do and there isnt any issue. This cleared up my confusion though since mine is an auto i should just wear it and let it auto rewind for best accuracy. Its just good to know if i do handwind i wont damage the movement. Thanks so much Mark!

[@garywick2090]

Nice vid man...just bought a Bulova skeleton watch ...automatic... so yea very good , im better informed now.

[@ahmedbhaa]

I bought a new watch and i did change the date one time during that time. Did I damage my watch? Or one time isn't going to be a problem? Also you did change your date during the danger zone, did you damage your watch? Or it will be damaged if done frequently? please help!

[@lgic1]

I have the same question! I think I did the same once with my new watch and was worried about damage

[@maxprivus]

IF there was damage, it would likely prevent the date from advancing properly. But check your manual. This concern doesn't affect all movements. And even when it does, the warning window indicates when damage may happen, not that it will every time. And AFAIK that damage will typically occur in a single incident, not cumulatively, and be preceded by resistance indicating the change-over was in-engagement.

[@islandwatch]

LOL, sorry, and, you're welcome!

[@chr1s60]

Another great video! Interesting view you take on servicing. I have always wondered if it is really a good thing or not considering the price most watch shops and makers charge to fully service a watch. I don't doubt that good can come from it, but it seems to me that the 5 year mark is probably much sooner than truly needed. It seems more like something that watch companies decided to recommend as a way to bring in extra money and get people back in their stores. I also wonder how much more it would cost to service and repair a watch after say 15 years compared to paying to service that same watch every 5 years.

[@islandwatch]

That is a very good point!

[@rickybest007]

Excellent video, I just had a question ... Let's imagine that when I hit the hours I put the hands in advance, it is harmful to the movement to walk with the hours back?

[@charlesbutler4646]

Very helpful, especially the power reserve comments.

👍 If it ain't broke don't fix it. I see some receipts from higher end swiss watches being periodically inspected and really do wonder wtf people are thinking. I mean sometimes around $1K to inspect and clean a swiss auto that's barelya few years old. Just bought a 40+ year old Orient and its ticking like it was built yesterday.

Good sir, you just earned another subscriber! I just got into watch and this video is so informative. Thanks!

[@tyroneshoelaces9742]

Off topic question. I want to learn to size the stainless steel bands on my new watches myself. What brand of tools/kits do you recommend? I have been looking on amazon and see many inexpensive tool kits for changing the battery on a quartz and to take links out of the band to size. Are they all about the same quality and should I get one of those inexpensive ones or are they a waste of money and junk? All the ones on amazon are inexpensive ones. Thank you!

[@Laguna2013]

what if I do not wear my automatic Rolex frequently. Is it safe on 'clutch' or other internal parts to manually wind each time I actually do wear it? Thank you!

[@jorgedaniel9656]

Why shouldn't you change the day and date from 9 pm to 3 am? Can it damage the movement?

[@kyleweber1994]

No expert here, but I've heard that some of the date-change gears can be engaged during these times and you could force something that shouldn't be forced.

[@denniskwok7613]

If you have a mechanical movement with a day/date complication, then between those hours (other movements vary), the automatic gear mechanism which switches the day/date is already engaged. So if you try and change the day/date manually using the crown, then you're forcing those gears when they're already engaged and risk causing damage.

[@islandwatch]

Sorry, I added a tidbit about it in the video description above. It was an oversight in filming; please also check out Watch and Learn #1 where I cover it in greater detail.

[@jamesmcnary4939]

Jorge Daniel yes, small very delicate parts are working to change the date during that time.

[@jasonwb6884]

You can damage the setting for the day/date mechanism. Watch will still tell time but day/date functions will not work.

[@69johndz]

What are the reference numbers for the watches? Especially the Zeppelin and the black skeleton with the blue hands. I do not know how to spell the name and I really like that one.
