Restoration of Vintage omega watch cal.1012

I'm looking at my gold Geneve' in the same box as his whilst you do your work. Lovely stuff - I wear mine on special occasions, ballroom dancing and weddings etc.

I agree, these are very special things. I also love looking at them, sometimes I wind 50 or 100, put them on the table and just look at them :)

How did I miss this video? Awesome, work as always

[@Karol235]

I don't know, you have to come here more often :) now I'm planning to reactivate this channel and there will be videos at least once a week

I often find broken star wheel that changes date and slides on top of hour wheel to set hands. I’m told it’s the cannon pinion being too tight

[@Karol235]

these watches have more problems, cannon pinion is just one of nothing. on IG recently I showed a completely crushed, precisely because of seized canon pinion and someone was turning it by force

@@Karol235 I usually ream it out just a bit! What number mainspring winder fits #6? 7 is too big 9.8 is pretty small

@@Karol235 I’ll watch where u oil as my amp is always very low! Like 130’s! Too low for good running and that’s with new mainspring !

@@richardadelberg8961 I have videos on my channel with these calibers and similar ones - full services too. 130° is a disaster what oils do you use? and what did you clean the parts with? with a new spring it should be around 300

@@Karol235 l&r #111 wash and rinse with ultrasonic cleaner . Mobius 9010 and 941 for pallets, I even open notorious Inca block springs and clean balance jewels. I’m lucky to get 230 amp from these calibers or 1001. I wonder if cannon pinion are robbing me of amp? Be curious to watch your oiling of these.
