Indeed, Witschi timegraphers are expensive. If you're looking for a more budget friendly option, I would recommend searching for the Witschi Expert 1 or 2 models, as they are still available and are reliable tools. However, if you plan to become a full time accredited for certain watch brands in the near future, such as Omega or Rolex and ect, you will need a more recent Witschi timegrapher, like the one I own. While the Witschi Expert 3 may be acceptable to Omega, any older models will not be accepted. This is an important consideration to keep in mind. I hope this information is helpful.

Danke!

Rolex and Bucherer were previously partners before Bucherer became independent. On August 24th, 2024, Rolex acquired Bucherer.

Yes and no; it depends. This specific ETA calibre is performing better than I expected. However, generally, Rolex accuracy falls within the range of -2.0 to +2.0 seconds per day, or 0.0 to +2.0 seconds per day most of the time. Ultimately, it boils down to the condition of the component parts (wear and tear) and, more importantly, the watchmaker's skill. Proper service techniques, especially when it comes to oiling points with the correct quantity and quality, are crucial. If done correctly, you can achieve excellent accuracy, as demonstrated in this video. I don’t consider Rolex to be the most accurate timekeeper on the market. In my opinion, the most accurate timepieces are the Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean and Aqua Terra. I have serviced many of these watches, and the best results I’ve achieved are between +0.6 to +1.1 seconds across all six positions, thanks to the co-axial escapement and particularly the silicon hairspring used by Omega. Ultimately, the level of accuracy attained depends on the watchmaker or technician's dedication to achieving these results. Most technicians don't strive for this; they simply service the watch without checking or replacing parts, and often oil the components with too much or too little lubrication. They may also skip the correct procedures for oiling the pallet fork jewel and fail to make fine-tune adjustments after a week. It really depends on how much you are willing to pay for the quality of service.

@@PherLee-g9n ...and your point is?

Hello Mind you, I have three different lathes for various jobs. If you want the specific one shown in this video, The lathe I used is Pultra 10 (8mm) They are great for medium to small work. I do recommend it. I hope this helps.

@@costantinoproietti7578 Thank you, I hope it will be useful for you in the future.

Hello For filming hairspring and lathe work. I used Andonstar AD09 Microscope. It's good equipment but I don't use it anymore. It was temporarily used at home work during the COVID-19. I use Durston Professional Jewellers Microscope in my workshop. I hope this helps.

​@@watchmakerspecial516yes it helped thank you so much,have a nice work👍😊

Sounds like you did alright. Well done.

Thank you. I still remember many years of practice in 2005 or 2006 when I first started adjusting hairspring, Now it's a muscle memory to me but I was concerned about using shoddy homemade tools when dealing with a mainspring. I didn't have a proper tool at that time. I'm just happy that I got a good result in the end.

I got it from a retired watchmaker. That was 15 or 20 years ago when he gave it to me. Now I'm running on low with hairsprings. Thanks.

@@watchmakerspecial516 If you find a new supplier, please post it here :)

Thank you. I have so many videos to upload. I don't have time to edit and upload. I will do my best.

Sorry but forgive me, I don't know what you mean by that? What is Pibor? I google search it and doesn't explain anything. I assume the language barrier was misunderstood between us.

the device is a time grapher I saw it at the end of the video good work@@watchmakerspecial516

@@watchmakerspecial516I believe he misspelled pivot

@@fjongo1 Thank you.

Hello, Thank you for watching. Yes, I did burnish and polish the pivot to create resistance to wear over time You may have missed the description in the video that I mentioned that there is no video of me doing burnish and polish but I did it off the camera. Now I wish I had included in this video to be honest. Kind regards

Hello Jake Thank you for watching the video, we can help you make a new hairspring. I'm sure we do have it now in stock for the original Omega 30T2 overcoil hairspring. If we don't then we must service your Omega 30T2 calibre first before we make a new hairspring and adjust the timing screws for better timekeeping accuracy. However, it will be at least four to five months of waiting time, due to long backlogs to complete. If you are happy with that, please privately message me for further requires. Thank you.

Hello, you contacted me regarding springs for 30t2. and you sent this link. friend, springs for 30t2 are generally available and cheap, there is no point in making them. the cheapest option is a few pounds, ebay is full of parts for 30t2 and 26x 28x calibres, the spring is the same. In general, the whole balance is the same

@@Karol235 Thanks Karol235 I already sent the email to watchmaker specialist and they did say they have the original omega 30t2 hairspring from a donor watch now. Should be okay now.

@@Karol235 Thank you, do not worry, We have the original spare overcoil hairspring now for the customer. This was done during Covid-19 back in 2021. We didn't have spares at that time and I wasn't able to order one, same for the Fourth wheel and this is why we had to make one instead. Kind regards.

Thank you, Thanks for your time to watch it. :)

Thank you.

Certainly wasn't easy. This was during covid 19 lockdown period. So I didn't have the proper tools to do this task.

Thank you! I remember your hairspring video many years ago, It's a good video though. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

What do you mean?

Hello Thank you, what kind relaxing music you are suggestion? It's hard to please everyone and also the youtube copyright most of the music.

Thank you and I appreciate it , In the beginning of my video in the description text duration at 0:13, it will explained why. It's a banter, and not to been taken it seriously. it's called motivational speech. I understand some people like it and some don't like it.

@@watchmakerspecial516 no worries, I originally understood the explanation but it still wasn’t for me. But frankly, videos that would be for everyone would be dramatically boring, so better have some delighted and some unhappy, as everybody unimpressed and underwhelmed. Right? 😁

@@ashedinthewoods I agreed, thank you. I did this video for a laugh.

Thank you, This was a temporally microscope that I was using and it's called AD409. I don't normally use it for my professional work Thanks

@@watchmakerspecial516 i tried this joby today on my seiko nh35. After 3houers i gave up... hehehe
