I am a complete beginner. have watched a lot of dismantles and rebuilds. Your videos are like gold dust for actually understanding rather than copying.
Love the content kalle! Really informative and gives new perspectives to watch repairs. Not sure if you're keen but if you could make a video on how to remove split stems, like those two piece stems in ebel watches. A real headache i've yet to figure out.
Hi, i have a blancpain villeret 40mm watch in stainless steel 2 years old (2020) watch and i noticed that it is stiff when i try to wind it. It has 72 hours power reserve. Example: When i wind it, it is tight.. I have to pull out the crown then i have to push it back in, in order for it to be buttery smooth when i wind it. It keeps excellent time BUT it is just stiff/tight if i wind it without pulling out the crown and pushing it back in first.. feels like resistance.. Any idea on what could it be? I dont have warranty. My jlc reverso is so smooth , i dont have to pull out crown and push back in for it to be smooth wind. Which type of silicone/oil for the crown gasket do you recommend?
Please check the position of the yoke and the intermediate wheel in which the sliding pinion is engaging. The strength of the yoke spring might be reduced. I hope this is helpful. Kind regards, Kalle

What is the movement? I have a 2824-2 mechanism. Is it harmful turning crown counterclockwise while winding?
Off subject, but where would I go to find information on watch and clock companies that are no longer around?
There are books on symbols that clock and watch companies used, you will find a lot of info in them Matthew.
@@ChronoglideWatchmaking Thank you. I'll look into that.
When can we see repairs?
Coming up Julio!

@@ChronoglideWatchmaking do you think if i put a little silicon grease to crown gasket, will this help or no?
That might help, please check the state of the crown seal as well. good luck!
