Kalle, Fantastic class. Thanks so much, for without these classes myself and many others wouldn’t be able to do such watch work. You’re an excellent teacher!!

[@tissapathiratna7761]

Lieber Kaller. This episode is the best I have seen so far. Warum? No disturbance from others. U were full on the instructions. So enjoyable. & End float of escapement wheel In automobile engineering we messure end float of crank or cam with a dial gauge .I don't know U can do this with a Dial gauge.? Ich 💖 to see many uninterrupted Videos on KZbin. Grüßen aus Australian.

Those inserts for the jeweling tool set are indeed "crazy expensive". If you are watching these videos then you are probably capable of making some of your own. Invest in a watchmaker's lathe (preferably a 10 mm, but an 8 mm might do for some of the smaller ones) with a good cross slide and tool post. Yes I said a good cross slide. Then a micrometer, dial caliper, and a small blow torch (for hardening, tempering, or annealing). Practice with some scrap metal until you get the hang of it, and you'll be surprised how many of your own tools that you can make with it.

You are the Master!!! GREAT CLASS

[@JensKliewer]

Thank you very much for your lessons, I learn so much from you 🙏

[@jjudelson]

That was an absolutely excellent 4 part lesson on fixing jewels. Thanks

[@ruperthartop7202]

Great series of videos, thanks for sharing

[@quaarjet]

End shake and division, two important terms to understand. For those of us non watchmakers tolerance/ clearance and vertical alignment may make more sense.

[@hanslindgren7175]

Hi Kalle! Thank you for an excellent video. You explain so good, that everything bin cristall clear.🎇

[@ChronoglideWatchmaking]

Thank you for your kind words and support Hans!

[@Niak38240]

Thank you Kalle

[@ChronoglideWatchmaking]

Thank you for your amazing support C-L!

[@israelcontreras5332]

Very interesting! Thank you. In the video, you mentioned that the jewel is slightly bigger than the hole….how much bigger os the jewel than the hole?

[@boydsargeant7496]

Thanks Kalle, fascinating series, loved them! I’ve not get any of these tools or needed them, but I’m sure I will one day! I’m doing my own hammer time now, so thanks for those vids too!

Hi, i think multi purpose grease is the best for watch lubrication, just applying a film of it with a toothpick. Or if you dont want to disassemble the watch simply dissolving it in brake parts cleaner and apply it like oil, this will leave a thin film of grease between the parts. For cleaning parts i just put them into a plastic cup and swirl them in brake parts cleaner. For the mainspring i use silicongrease, mostly for corrosion protection.

[@ChipsPlace1952]

Very good detail. What type of microscope do you use? Thank you

[@cs-electronic]

Again exactly the lessons I need to replace a Seiko 4006 Second wheel bearing in a jewel. Unfortunately I was not successfull to find a 1,4x0,16 jewel so far. Cousins and boley do not have the size! Is there a better and complete source? I don't understand where You get your parts from.

[@edwardthorne3040]

When ordering a press-fit, plate jewel, how much larger in diameter is the jewel compared to the hole diameter?

[@valdachef]

This is amazing thank you 😊

[@scottwagstaff5121]

I know its not strictly on topic, but it is related. I have some cheaper non jeweled movements with just holes in the main plate. On one of these the previous owner/servicer placed a shim under the bridge as the bridge was pinching the second wheel when I tightened the screws. Is there a better solution than a shim?

[@richardpanza2042]

Can’t you use the Micrometer on the Seitz Tool to slowly push the Jewel in ?

[@ChronoglideWatchmaking]

Sure, no problem. I prefer the Horia tool but it is just what you are used to.

[@johntaylor3940]

The Seitz jewels in the box i have same for sale .

[@TimBee100]

So some jewels are pressed in and some are held by some kind of clip.

[@chris9413]

Hi Kalle, very nice video! Could you help me? I was wondering what outer diameter the reamers of the Seitz tool have (the diameter that goes into the spindle for reaming). The spindle itself should be 8mm, is that right?

[@ChronoglideWatchmaking]

You are right Chris, it is 8mm outer diameter.

[@chris9413]

@@ChronoglideWatchmaking thank you so much! But what about the reamers? What diameter do they have? How are they fixed in the spindle?

[@ChronoglideWatchmaking]

The reamers are usually standardized 0.01 smaller than the jewel size (outer diameter). They are friction fit to the spindle (Seitz) or with a collet (Favorite).

[@PhilSpidy]

Can you use the horia tool to reset hands?

[@cozininja]

Another fantastic video Kalle. Did you have to make the flat insert because the Horia set doesn’t come with one? Cheers Mike

[@ChronoglideWatchmaking]

That's right Michael.

[@jllewislewis5210]

Better buy a quartz watch..You dont have to insert anyhting.. but its is nt the same thing is it? What is a r´olex'? Its an ET. Expensive way to see Time aka Expensive Time. Now you understand- Time is money.

[@anthonykinrade8642]

The parallel comment was wrong! Co planer would be more accurate..😊

[@jackjax7921]

When should you replace a jewel?

[@ChronoglideWatchmaking]

Only when it is cracked of broken, use a flashlight from underneath to see it more easily Jack.

[@leshurst8252]
