Thank you for your support

[@sitandfish]

Thanks, this brand is new to me. Their vintage yachtsman and rally models look quite attractive. ✌

[@FrenchWatchCollector]

They are very nice watches

[@CharlesThompson-ou7wp]

Thanks for another great video! I was paying attention and the tachymeter rehaut is perfect with the triangle indice at the 9 o’clock position.

[@FrenchWatchCollector]

Thanks you. It is strange at first but I looked online and the position is at 9 o’clock

[@marcusthompson6775]

I love watching you work! You make excellent videos my friend :)

[@FrenchWatchCollector]

[@FrenchWatchCollector]

Thanks Bruce

Good job-you certainly know your chronographs!!

[@FrenchWatchCollector]

Thank you so much

Those quick release spring bars can snap their little hook but... they don't have gaps in their springs to remove them with the knife.
You actually have to find that little whole where the hooks were and put a tool in there and pull them as a hook.

Fantastic work done on that watch. I have a love for getting a Beaubleu Watch someday, like the floating seconds hand. Also like to get your watch case open/closer, does it come with fancy paint job? 😊😁

[@FrenchWatchCollector]

Thank you so much. The tool to open and close the case is from Horotec and it is a custom finish. You can buy the same on their website with the link on my video

Are many of the parts of the Valjoux 7734 also used in the 7750?

[@FrenchWatchCollector]

They are very different

[@jjver]

If I may ask, why don't you burnish your pivots with a jacot tool?

[@DutchClawz]

Not a standard procedure with every service, done when needed

[@FrenchWatchCollector]

It is a solution but for me only if the pivot is in bad condition. The polish I do id only if the pivot is in good condition and I just improve the polishing. It is like if you go from from a polish finish to an ultra polish finish

[@FrenchWatchCollector]

I agree it just depends on the state of the pivot

[@jjver]

Thanks!

[@OscarRPalma]

Yema made like a comeback, is still on French hands? or belongs to another brand?

[@FrenchWatchCollector]

It is still part of a French group

[@SideWalkAstronomyNetherlands]

:)

[@FrenchWatchCollector]

👍

[@angellarumbe8089]

Good job but the tachymeter scale is in wrong positon. The triangle must be in upper position.

[@FrenchWatchCollector]

Sorry but the inner triangle is not at the top on this watch
