I really appreciate all of the detail you include in your videos. Your video production skills are on par with your watchmaking skills! A beautiful vintage watch maintained exactly as it should be.

[@therealwatchdoctor]

Hello Peter, thanks for the nice compliment. Before I started with watchmaking, I already loved video editing. Now, they come togheter 😃.

Fantastic content. Thanks for sharing the oil references and name of parts. Totally agree with using the original unrestored hands. Nice to always preserve the character and patina of an old watch. Thank you.

Why is it that when I see one of these videos I want to learn this skilled work? But by the time I’ve learned it I’m probably at retirement age.

[@bmw128racer]

Very nice. I wish you had displayed the entire cleaning process, showing what equipment and chemicals were used.

Hey man, i just arrived to your channel. What an amazing job!! I loved it!!

Hello Dmitri, thank you very much ;-)

Thank you Phillip! Have a nice day.

[@VinceAt69]

Amazing work as usual, I am envious of your skills. Maybe you could do a video of your work place and bench, I would love to see all your tools perhaps with an explanation? Just an idea. Thanks.

[@therealwatchdoctor]

Thanks again Vinnie, I would love to make a video about that. Not scheduled for the moment, but it will come some day.

[@carloscarvalhido2424]

Hi. I'm a very basic hobbyist. Excellent video. My first from you. Excellent lubrication tutorial. Keep going. Wish you the best of lucks :)

[@therealwatchdoctor]

Hello Carlos, thank you! Practice makes perfect. In 2013 it was started as a hobby for me 😉 and now it's my fulltime job and I am enjoyning it everyday.

[@msmalmasri2680]

Hello, I have you please show us the equipment that should be used in the maintenance of watches. I have been working as a watchmaker for twenty years and I want to improve my workshop. I was very impressed with the way you work and your great experience.

[@therealwatchdoctor]

Thank you Almasri, I will show the equipment in the near future. Make some tutorials of them.

[@kevinburnett6092]

Great video. Subscribed and looking forward to your other videos. I'd love to see a Heuer 3647 or 2447 video if you get one in the shop!

[@therealwatchdoctor]

Thanks Kevin, "Heuer 3647 or 2447" I can believe that :-), those are very beautiful timepieces.

[@dynamicsinesdynamicsines1161]

i believe the choice to keep the original lume was a great one fellow brother watch maker...

[@therealwatchdoctor]

Thanks for the feedback DynamicSines ;-)

[@cezan112]

Hi, great video! I am doing the 7734 myself in a couple of days and wanted to prepare a bit. I have a question though, accoring to the service manual the watch needs moebius 9501(or, special grease for mechanism as they call it) on the hammer and hearts. However, you put 9010, the which is the finest oil instead of the thickest grease. Is there a particular reason you choose this oil over the grease? Kind regards, and thanks again for the great video!

[@danieldravot341]

Who prepares the titles for these videos? TAG didn’t become involved with Heuer until the mid-80s. I knew I had a problem with my now-former watchmaker when his assistant referred to a 40s - 50s era Heuer chronograph as a TAG. And it is TAG, for Techniques d’Avant Garde, not Tag.

[@sma1968]

I’m loving this video. However, it freezes at 27:51. Is there something wrong with it?

[@juaneer]

There has to be.

[@mrandmrswheels1142]

Hi, wonderful video as per usual. What a great skill you have, just like watching a artist paint a picture. Can I ask if you have re-finished the plates or are they just cleaned? They look a beautiful bead blasted type of finish on reassembly. All the best.

[@home-dp6oh]

Love the content. I do have a couple of questions as a fellow watchmaker. Even though you are exceptionally careful, wouldn't it be more prudent to use brass tweezers when working on any plated movements so as not to possibly scratch the plates? I noticed what I consider to be excessive side shake on the mainspring barrel arbor when you were applying the lubrication. Did you address this off camera?

[@msmalmasri2680]

Thanks for your time

[@therealwatchdoctor]

Hello Almasri, thank you. You're welcome!

[@alanmckinnon6791]

I like that you left the lume on the hands and dial original. It's not a tool watch that you repaired for everyday use, it's a 50 year old limited edition. If you take the lume off you can't put it back!

[@therealwatchdoctor]

Hello Alan, nicely phrased :-) thanks for the feedback ;-)

[@evilD0ER01]

I have a Bulova 1970s surfboard with I think the same movement. I wanted to watch how it is taken apart and cleaned. Mine is out at the shop now. Im nervous.

[@TheSchmed]

Wow, that train wheel bridge much easier install than a Rolex, looks to be 2 bridges where Rolex has one.

[@therealwatchdoctor]

Hello Paul, yes indeed. I like this design.

[@TheSchmed]

@@therealwatchdoctor looks to be much more modularized “classic” movement, retaining the complexity and beauty of the movement we all know and admire, much like a modern car engine vs one from the 50s, both are internal combustion, but today’s designed for easier maintenance. This coming from someone who went from a Heuer to a Rolex ;)

[@bintangsena2249]

yes for the moonwatch !

[@therealwatchdoctor]

I am still waiting for the necessary spare parts to arrive, and then the assembly video will follow ;-)

[@omegadun66]

On the chronograph minute hand counter, was it moving or am I missing something here? Could of swore that I saw the chrono second hand go past 12 and the minute counter didn't move?

[@brandongonzal]

Perfect!

[@therealwatchdoctor]

Thanks Rendon :-)

[@andybals216]

Speedmaster moon watch ..yes please

[@therealwatchdoctor]

Hello Andy, it will take a while, but the assembling video for the Omega Speedmaster is definitely coming ;-)

[@pw5626]

Hi, I have an issue with this video, from 27:50 till the end the image freezes and I cannot see any adjusting which was actually the most interesting part for me :( can you do anything about it?

[@jimmyers8795]

Lume has a function which is important, also a watch of this vintage probably used tritium as a lume which is best got rid of and replaced by modern and safer lumes.

[@juaneer]

The video stops at around 27:50. What's the deal with that

[@gopalakrishnanramaswamy6562]

A dandy job,indeed! In the narration with subtitles,it is wrongly mentioned as CLICK spring instead of YOKE spring.Needs correction.

[@ushastw]

I supposed it is a yoke spring at 7:24

[@adrianosusino6625]

In the barrel which is better: hp 1300, jismaa blue or kluber p125?

[@therealwatchdoctor]

I always use HP-1300, Kluber p125 can only be used in an automatic watch, where there is an extra spring. This is an extra safety, that the spring cannot break when overwinding, but that the outer spring slips. And you need to apply Kluber p125 there so that the outer spring slips smoothly. I am not familiar with Jismaa blue.

[@michaelpoljot]

I would of relumed the hands ! And removed the case scratches! And a new gasket seal on the case !

Don’t call this a Tag when it’s a Heuer.

[@solstar4778]

Why is it a $17,500.00 watch (1970’s)?there are too many scratches for that and a non mineral glass !

Hello Sol Star, because it's a very rare watch with a special history. Very interesting for collectioneurs.
