Many thanks again, Mike. This sort of material is invaluable to me and makes understanding a movement as a machine much easier than books can, no matter how good.

What a great comment so thank you for that . This is what I had hoped for to be honest, when I started out which is only a few years ago there was little like this, I found help in watch forums but always thought a video guide that made it understandable and to simplify the mystique of the watchmaking craft would be invaluable. Once I gained enough confidence to film myself I figured I would start a channel to help & inspire others to pick up tools. I have always be nervous of criticism from the more experienced but to my relief I have been well received.

I’ve been binge-watching your videos (entire videos by the way)! Such a great source to learn from! There’s also just something so satisfying to watch all the tiny components come together to complete a beautiful-looking watch movement. Keep up the good work! :)

Thank you for your comment. It’s always rewarding putting these back together and seeing then run again.

Hi Mike. I've just bought a Poor Mans 7005-8052 sport diver. It appears in great cosmetic condition, is the first year 1969 with waterproof dial & back markings, BUT it's a non runner and a view inside the back shows some rubbing marks or worse in the automatic weight path. I decided to invest in a "new" movement which is a runner ( but in a common day dress watch). I was a bit uncertain on this new movement as there are marks in the slot heads of the dial retaining cams. I didn't know what these were until I assisted your excellent video! Thanks, your video has really helped me decide on this new movement, which I'm about to buy on-line after posting.

Another good video Mike installing the pawl seems tricky😀

@MyRetroWatches 6 жыл бұрын

The Pawl can be on these especially when you put in the wrong way around ! on the 6### series they are a little easier.

@jakelewis3d 5 жыл бұрын

So, the video at 9.54 has on-screen text stating that the pawl lever should be the opposite way up to shown, although the video actually shows the pawl in the correct position! So now I too have to rebuild my whole motion side.

Jake Lewis you are far too eagle eyed Jack. It’s all down to my editing. It didn’t go on right on the first attempt so I reshot the circlip part. If you look at 11.42 when I turn it over it was then in the wrong position , I did not notice this for some time and then just presumed I had got it wrong right from the start. Sorry

Sorry for some sound issues, I have a new phone that record in stereo and as I am sometimes moving around this is not good for sound capture. Rest assured a lapel microphone is now on order for future videos. Thanks

I thought that was very pro, what do you do in the way of servicing the main spring, or did i miss something. Looking forward to the next video. Thanks for sharing...

Good job again Mike. I really think it is better (for the community) showing the raw assembly/lubrication footage, warts and all. I'm quite sure even seasoned watchmakers have a reasonable error rate too . One thing I didn't quite get from your video: which oil did you use on the pallet fork jewels, was it 9010?

@MyRetroWatches 6 жыл бұрын

Hello and thanks for such a nice comment. I throw in my mistakes for the very reason that we all can make them and I don't to appear all perfect as when the first time you try this it can take hours to just put the balance on! Yes the 9010 i used for the pallet jewel. I believe there are others and one in particular just for that application. Yet with the price of the oil and for a hobbyist do you really want 5 different oils from day one!?

@mircea.negru-rusen 6 жыл бұрын

@@MyRetroWatches I know what you mean re the price of oils (I've just got in a mini bottle of 8200& a wee 9010 from cousins). And I'm all keen to see what modern (and reasonable) equivalents can be used for the vintage seikos.

Good job Mike. I have never disassembled a Diashock yet, but I know I'll have to sooner or later. I have a question here that is not shown on your video: when you take the diashock apart, would the endstone get out of the brass case easily or would it stay inside it and you have to somehow "force" it to go out? (I hope I've explain myshelf, english is not my mother tongue)

@MyRetroWatches 6 жыл бұрын

Good question! okay the jewel setting is called a chaton. Its the steel part. The brass is only the holding spring. The jewel can often get stuck in the setting due to old dried oil, you do two things, first soak both parts in cleaner like Renata (solvent based) keeping the jewel and settings in a small basket like the one I use in my cleaning video. After a few minutes they should separate. Alternatively I will use my Rodico and push the jewel side of the setting into the rodico, when pulling out the jewel is often left behind! you then just have to be sure you can identify the top and bottom faces of the jewel as they are not flat in shape. Dish side goes down in the setting. Your Engish is good Sir.

It is a perfect and high level-lesson on video.I was interested on 'parts-cleaning discussion', but I did not get it (which is the best cleaning solution).If you can add it would be great.

@MyRetroWatches 4 жыл бұрын

Thanks for your comment and for watching. Cleaning is a tough one as it really depends on what equipment people have got. I find for me now cleaning in my watch cleaning machine for long periods is sufficient however most do not have this so ultrasonic is best as a home solution. Fluids still ideally non water based. I have done other videos on cleaning and there is generally a cleaning bit in all my latest videos. If you have other questions just ask , if I can answer I will.

Another great video Mike. For the Diashock jewel, please confirm you place the oil on the flat side of the jewel and then place the jewel cap on top, correct?

@MyRetroWatches 6 жыл бұрын

yes, although I debate if its completely flat side. I think these are slightly concave (domed) you put dome side down so you oil the opposite side so when you drop the setting on top it is then correct. Basically at that point everything you are looking at is up side down. once turned over and back in setting its all correct.

What did you do about the keyless works? Can you get the spigot in from the calendar side? How ever really informative video, you’ve helped me put my 7009A back together 👍 including the exploded main spring 😵 cheers

Mr.Mike,here is a question from me to you.I have one vintage SEIKO 5-cal.7009-3040(A2).The issue with this watch is that it stops just before the D/D change for the next day(i.e at 10.35PM or 01.05AM,usually).What are the reasons and how to rectify and fix my watch.I will remain thankful to you.Please enlighten me.
