Hi.. iam from SAUDI ARABIA 🇸🇦 and see u from 2016. It's nice to see u aging.

The barrel arbor is screwed: Just hold the winding square in a pin vice than, with a strong tweezers in the 2 holes, unscrew the hook (I don't know the name in english).

[@bunnspecial]

Which way to unscrew hook?

[@Reparatheure]

@@bunnspecial Looking at the 2 holes, turn anti-clockwise (like classical screws). The hook is drilled in its center and tappered. When screwed, it keeps in place the barrel and the barrel bridge. Note that if the hook is too difficult to unscrew, you can hold it with another pin vice on its outer diameter. All pocket watches with upper suspended barrel have the same screwed hook. Down suspended barrel are generaly pin secured. Hope the explanations are understandable (I'm a french watchmaker, so not so easy to explain by written english)

Cooperation was voluntary Bunny 👍

[@bunnspecial]

Much to my detriment.

[@mercuriall2810]

That is what is called a “hanging barrel” and it does unscrew

[@bunnspecial]

Yes. I did some research and someone suggested using a pair of brass jawed pliers. I have to buy some soon.

[@mercuriall2810]

@ Once you’ve removed the mainspring, you can put a pin vice on the square of the snail and use that to unscrew it. Be careful to choose a pin vice that fits well, these can be very tight after years of use. Most are right hand threaded, but some are left hand threads. You can tell which thread you have by examining the direction in which the mainspring pulls on the arbour. This will be the direction that tightens it.

Got me one of those Meyer holders...I dunno Bunny the jury is still out on it. I have a tendancy to fat finger that quick disconnect button then the profanity starts...

[@morgansinner]

I've been watching ebay for one, No 48. I've heard pros and cons on them. I'm not paying the ridiculous price I've seen on eBay, so I may never find out for myself . I don't really need one anyways..the Amazon mill vice style I'm using has been great.

[@bunnspecial]

I have done the same thing with my finger also.

[@bunnspecial]

I have seen those prices also. Not worth it.

[@art1muz13]

45:26 did you figure it out?

[@termonostruman]

need some antifriction stuff there. No r olexes were damage in this video.

[@Đồnghồcơ444]

👍👍👍👍👍

[@funtongue]

It wouldn’t be a bunnspecial presentation without a burp and the clicking of the camera’s autofocus. NEVER change cameras.

[@bunnspecial]

That is the audio water mark.

[@danytoob]

Awesome to see a new episode from bunn Studios! Haven't had a watch dive in a while, and this is a never before explored "detent" movement (and I don't recall even hearing of this type previously). Waiting on baited breath for the next exciting installment! Thank you bs ... we've missed you!

[@bunnspecial]

This type of movement has been around for over a hundred and fifty years. They use this on marine chronometers but the detent is the spring. The next installment will be the assembly.

...It's Tight in here.....Damn I'm hitting stuff......CLEAN UP....I'm thinking possible hoarder.....So maybe CLEANING UP isn't possible.....SAD.

[@bunnspecial]

The big problem is I only have 300 square feet of living space.

[@BillboBirsay]

@@stirlingfromla You're just a sad little person aren't you. I'll try and feel sorry for you.
