Repairing a broken Waltham watch part 1 of 3

[@thatsit6243]

I can't believe it's an eight years old video it's 2023 now !! And this videography looks just like any other 2023 watch repair video on KZbin!!

[@tonytiger943]

You just made my day/month/year!! 😃 My wife bought me one of these around 8 years ago. It wasn’t expensive as it doesn’t work. We hoped one day to find someone to repair it. It went by the wayside. I kept taking it out of the drawer, looking at it. Kids in school; other priorities for our money. Now I will try to repair it myself, thanks to you, very carefully and slowly. Thank you again from a Brit currently exiled in Australia. 🇬🇧 🇦🇺 👍

This watch is stunning.

Parabéns pelo seu talento. Deus te abençoe

Really amazing and educational, still wouldn't dare tackle my watch ! I have a lovely old family Waltham that I have pulled the winder out of.....unfortunately there don't seem to be any watch repairers willing to take it on, it now is in a drawer which is a sad end to an early 20thc watch. There must be many such ends to what are otherwise lovely watches....you are a rare breed !

[@грифонгору]

zypp33 u should get it fixed if the stem is pulled out look at the watch model number and order parts for it

[@jwaller2557]

I'm very late to this content.....but it is so good. I'm hooked into watch repairs now. Will need to.sign up for the training course if it is still running

Marc, if you're ever on this side of the pond, consider a tour of the Waltham Watch Factory in Massachusetts. It's a great bit of manufacturing history - American pragmatism balanced with an old world art form. They have a wonderful recreation of a watch maker's bench.

[@WatchRepairChannel]

knafrancis That sounds awesome - I would love to do that one day.

[@nunyabizness199]

I am thoroughly impressed...😳 Did you ever think about being a surgeon..😁

[@sharpeguns1]

I love your channel, i have hundreds of Waltham watches. I collect mostly Pocket watches. Of all kinds. Im pretty proficient in the repair. I have purchased many old tool collections over the last 30 plus years. Your CHANNEL IS ALWAYS INFORMATIVE. I've seen your Video on printing a Dial face. Do you have a source on ceramic Dial Face replacements. I have many i cleaned and work great. Bit the damage too face is either rusted, cracked and otherwise irredeemable. Any Suggestions.

[@leedickens4047]

Make that hairspring manipulation look so easy.

[@brynybach7741]

Fantastic vid, could watch you all day long. Keep them coming.

[@trigger4MMA]

Does anyone know what model Waltham this is? I love everything about it and would like to get one.

[@Phoenix_cataclysm_in_2040]

Trench watches were exceptionally generic back then, and if you just type Waltham Elgin trench watch in ebay you'll eventually find one. This Elgin watch looks fairly similar: www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Elgin-Gents-Officers-Gold-Plate-Military-Style-40-s-Watch-For-Restoration-Bal-Ok/114188119386?hash=item1a96246d5a:g:uVMAAOSw7EJduriY

[@Peregrineeagle]

Here's the movement model based on the serial number, it's a size 3/0s pocket watch movement in a wristwatch case. pocketwatchdatabase.com/search/result/waltham/20752376/movement

[@MrBanzoid]

Hi Marc... Brilliant channel! It's great to know that in this disposable age there are still people around to care for these beautiful miniature machines. BTW I noticed that this watch has been through less than careful repair in the past - the stripped balance screw, missing dial screw and chewed up screw heads are the evidence!

[@Phoenix_cataclysm_in_2040]

Bosley watch regulator lever is missing on my 1926 Swiss Buren trench watch. Is it easy to replace it, are they compatible with other Swiss watches?

[@douro20]

It may only be a 7-jewel movement, but it has a Breguet overcoil hairspring, a bimetallic compensating screw balance, and a long regulator arm.

[@zHumanfactor]

I don't live too far from the Waltham Watch Factory. I wish they still made watches there. Btw, the locals pronounce Waltham, like "Wall-tham" versus "Wall-thumb". ;)

[@maritimeus]

My birthplace. I appreciate the call out of the proper pronunciation. Thanks

[@armandtablan8224]

Hi, I'm Just new to your channel and I LIKE IT, I watch it intently..Honestly, the reason being I'm watching watch repair now is because I have an INVICTA SUB AQUA NOMA II chonograph. which stop working, i thought it was just a battery replacement and this Egyptian repairman who replace the battery took half day to replace it, I knew he did something wrong with the watch. I replace THE bat. trice though to other repair man but it some how every two hours its stop working. can you advice me please whats the problem, some how i don;t trust the watch repair man here as I have notion that their just practicing my watch or they already wreck it or even worse. I Appreciate your kind advice Thanks . keep on blogging Bro. Thanks much

[@douro20]

I wonder, with a Guillaume balance like that isn't it necessary to adjust it over a period of days to ensure the isochronism?

[@donnyalvarez7]

Bend the hairspring more it'll work better you can calibrate it how you want to remember a broken watch is a watch that does not keep time

[@jessethepondhopper8370]

On a Zodiac Seadragon Z02242 the 12hr insert in the bezel is it glued in or taped in??? Please and thank you

[@pedrosilvaslva2625]

i use wood twizers made by me, was sicking of magnetization...

[@陳華克]

請問可以製作一集分解懷錶的嗎？謝謝

[@pedrosilvaslva2625]

I like old houses, old cars, old music, old bicyclets , old wacthes, WHATS THE PROBLEM WITH ME?

[@reamannmacbiatiagh2057]

Pedro, I don't have a name for the condition but I have it to, I think some people just enjoy quality and things that lasting the test of time. I dislike like the disposable world we have thrust on us today!

[@x84pav84x]

А пружину колеса хода никак не выправить?

[@tlee1157]

Awesome video,very informative. Keep up the good work.

[@TheGreatSnafoo]

I've had two Waltham time pieces, a wrist watch, and a pocket. I don't recall what ever happened to them though.

[@frankiethebear]

borgel case?

[@myz4527]

👍

[@williamayres9340]

have one with no crown, cant see what is required between the crown and the square hole inside the movement ????

[@mohamedajmal3817]

Sir how many years experience for watches

[@Rulookingatme]

Hi, What is the the name of this waltham watch,i mean ,not the brand,but the model of it?Quite interested in this watch,looks like an vancheron watch,if i am not wrong.

[@elektron2kim666]

Not sure the microcosm is for me so I force myself into it to find out.

[@edwamser]

Love working on the old Walthams. Looking at the serial number, this movement was made around 1916.

[@mogret7451]

The movement looked a bit pocket watchy.

[@aogcriticallogisticsinc.3121]

Its amazing what you do , I love it !

[@ayankhanfarzi]

Hello sir I am faiyaz khan from India I am good watches tecnicion all watches aato puwatz Sada I need job

[@wannabecarguy]

Is it worth fixing? I have the pocket watch. Seems poorly made.

[@грифонгору]

wannabecarguy walthams can be expensive they are really worth fixing for the right cost though

[@Limou551]

People give different values to things. If doesnt say you anything, and its just a "poor" watch, sell it.For sure it worth not a repair in your hands.

[@jardelinoful]

Como conseguir peças de relógios antigo?

[@Limou551]

Tem que procurar muito, ou fabrica as partes que procura, ás vezes é mais simples.

[@jimporter]

I'm assuming that at some point the balance was poised and you just don't show it?

[@WatchRepairChannel]

You assume wrong ;) Less than 10 seconds differential on the timing machine, I was happy with that.

[@Limou551]

What was the best position diference?

[@larryshaw6517]

Why didn't you just close up the hole in the balance rim, that way there would not have any problem with poising error

[@saulosantana1640]

Uma pena q não e dublado

[@daleburrell6273]

11:44...aren't you afraid of damaging the top balance pivot by lifting the balance and balance cock like that?!

[@pedrosilvaslva2625]

03:26 mark came during the video production...

[@TheSchmed]

Some fat fingers were on those screws.

[@danielwilliams8448]

I have one I would love to sell, open face , silver in color but doesn't run. Would you be interested? Waltham USA

[@danielwilliams8448]

Very old also

[@BavarianM]

Why are the jewels hiden in this mechanism or it doesnt have them

[@грифонгору]

David Piçarra it has them and they are not hidden

[@mikedonato856]

Hi I need teach me how to repair your watch

[@darrensauceda8152]

You lost me when the timing screw fell out

[@pravinkansara965]
