They will last very long time, especially if they are serviced from time to time. Even if they are not serviced you can still replace worn out parts if you can get hold of them or repair what needs repairing. I have done what I think is a better video than the one you’ve seen where I do some work on a 53yo Seiko that now runs really well: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fZKWf6RvncRlibM I’m glad you enjoyed the video! 👍

Keenly watched your technique re cleaning the dial, recently had come in a very abused Sekonda branded Poljot Alarm, sourced a new set of hands from my fav chap on ebay, still trying to find the unique to case crystal and I may well pinch the crystal off of my Poljot Olympic 80 as the alarm is worth ten times what the 80 is worth but the dial is very grimy and I know I have one shot to get it right too. I remember the first dial clean I did, a 1980's Vostok 090 Amphibia... hit it with 99% isopropyl alchohol as the dial seemed to be coated with this grease film... how green I was and looked on in horror as every painted finish just dissolved before my eyes sterilising the dial completely, still got it but have hidden my shame under a thick steel grille bezel hehehe So folks never use any solvent on your dial :P

Crystal clear video. I’ve only dipped my toe into watch repair. Of the hours of videos I’ve have viewed, never have I seen such a liberal application of lubrication. Seems like some would get into unintended areas? It’s just a comparison observation.
@MacroTime28800 Жыл бұрын
Glad to hear you enjoyed the clarity! Are you comparing the lubrication quantity to videos that were also done under the same/similar magnification? At times you see 7mm across your screen in my videos and a small amount of oil/grease can indeed look like a lot but in reality, it can be zero point something of one mm. If I zoomed out and you were able to see the whole movement rather than a specific area, it wouldn’t look like much at all.

Great job Leo! As someone that has bent my share of seconds hands using that type of crystal puller with too much force, I have a tip you may want to try. After I tighten down the crystal puller, I go under each tooth of the puller with a screw driver (usually my green handle one.. 200?) and gently push downward a little at a time. It allows you to slowly work the crystal up/off while it's still in the puller, without the force bending the hand. Try testing it on a crystal you know will come off to get your technique down. Cheers
@MacroTime288002 жыл бұрын
Why didn’t I think of that? It would have saved me the time and effort straightening the seconds hand. I was lucky it was the seconds hand. The others are much wider and I don’t think I would have been able to make them look perfect. But they are shorter so there is less chance damaging them. I’ll certainly follow your advice if I face this issue again. I never got to the bottom of it why it was stuck. It’s as if it was glued but when I took the crystal off it was fine and I couldn’t see any glue marks or anything that would tell me why it was stuck. When I put it all back together I tested it and took the movement out with no issues so I don’t know what the problem was. Thank you for the tip! Cheers Leo

Great video Leo, spiced by some of your humorous comments here and there. I had been a watch repair hobbyist for the past 5 years after I retired. From the practical point , I would say that to repair specific areas here and there yes, particularly for me, many spares can be purchased from Taobao . However, to do a complete servicing for this 7006A , perhaps not. You might as well purchased a NH35 or even 7009 , 7s26 for the watch. So much work involved, and all the different oil types . Just my thoughts. For an original ETA or 7750 , I will do it. In fact, I am in the process the complete re-assembly of a 7750 movement once clean up all the parts and the new spares need arrived.

Thank you for replying. Hoping in future I will be able to get service watch by your good self. Off course for a price. Thank you once again.

This is a hobby and I only service watches to make videos. That means, it can take very, very long time to service a watch. I’m afraid at this moment I’m servicing my subscriber’s watch and I cannot take on another watch while I have someone else’s watch I’m working on. I’m sorry to disappoint 😩

Amazing detail and close-ups. You seem to use a lot more lubricant than other watch channels. Very interesting video. Only sorry to see you make so few of them.

Thank you, glad you like it! Yes, I wish I had more time to produce more videos, there will be more. The lubricant, I think that’s down to the macro I do. It exaggerates. If I zoomed out as you’d see it in most videos, it would look normal.

Lovely program, but one comment; I hope you didn't forget to clean the backside of all of those dials. It would be a shame to contaminate such perfect work with old dirt. Marvelous, couldn't tear myself away!
