Seiko 7S26 tutorial Part 4 - Shock absorbing jewel setting and cap jewels disassembly | Horology DIY

[@savioracina3301]

I'm really enjoying this series and wanted to thank you for sharing your skills, experience and insights to us all.....you are both amazingly accomplished in your wider watch making endeavours, repairs and for being so generous to be sharing these "interactive" tutorials when you also have a business to run! Sincerely looking forward to any updates in the future on getting the movement parts all cleaned up and reassembled and recased.

I'm out, that spring would have disappeared onto the floor and if it didn't during disassembly, I'd have probably shaken so badly that during reassembly, I would driven the tweezers through the mechanism. A testament to your talent and skill, great video series.

Very fine work. Tremor is critical I suspect, in jewel handling.I never understood why watches had jewels, but now I am getting the idea. Thank you

Must be fun! Amazing control of instruments.

Thanks... really enjoying your videos. I am hoping you will in a future one discuss cleaning the components. I have a small ultrasonic cleaner but I'm not certain it is doing the job. Maybe I need to get my toothpick out more often? Thanks again, I will make a point to buy from your store in future...!!.

this series is very underrated

[@HaasGrotesk]

This was amazing to watch! It would be awesome if you could do Miyota 8200. I think plenty of us have this movement aswell.

[@neilmackellaig1337]

Hi there, These are excellent videos! Very informative. Are there more videos to follow? Thank you

[@HenriqueSantos-pe4nk]

How about to use an automatic oiler on the escapment jewels? Possible? Recommended? What is your opinion? Thanks for your great videos!

I'll never complain about the cost of a service now

Hi! Is it bad for my SKX to stop/sit during a day/date change?

[@nunyabusiness9056]

Over THREE HOURS and i cannot set the small diashocks on this 7s26. I fashioned a pegwood tool for the balance wheel one which makes it easy but christ i CANNOT get the small one. Do you have any advice?! I only have 2 #2 tweezers and they are fine for everything else but i notice your #3's are SO much finer of a point. I would rather not drop another 80 dollars on tweezers just to do this one task. do you have ANY tips or pointers or tricks?The moment i touch one side of that diashock spring it just nudges the jewel out of it's setting, if i fold the spring over it it just shoots out sideways.

[@stainlessdroid3249]

I'm here suffering with the same problem. Did you find any easier way to do it? Because after trying all morning I am running out of patience.

[@nunyabusiness9056]

@@stainlessdroid3249 Hah so i did a ton of practice with my tweezer work and i can do them in my sleep now. If you got properly dressed tweezers practicing these godforsaken things are a great way to get really good tweezer skills. i actually created a visual guide of how i do it with a #3 and a #5 tweezers. Not sure how i could get that to you but you'd probably find it helpful. The other thing is there's a video specifically on them on the watch repair channel where he uses a small (red) jewel picker. It's a bit annoying to do on the small ones but get one of those and a pair of sharp tweezers it does make it easier. Also i hope you're trying to oil the cap jewels AFTER setting them. Trying to oil them beforehand is a futile effort. You have to set them then oil them from the inside.

Is there an assembly video somewhere?

[@professorsafari]

What was the medallion looking item at the beginning of the video?

[@MasterWatchmaker]

Australian 50 cents coin 😀

[@professorsafari]

Fanciest 50 cents I’ve ever seen

May I ask what happened to the following videos? Talk about a cliffhanger!
