Please explain to me how you wound your watch too tight. I've been repairing watches for around 20 years and I've never come across a watch that was wound too tight, although there seems to be a lot of watches not working because they are overwound on ebay. Do you wind the crown using a pipe wrench or something like that? It's not possible to over wind a watch using your fingers to wind one. When you can't turn the crown clockwise anymore the watch is fully wound and if you use some kind of force to turn it further you're going to break something, either the winding stem, the main spring or the barrel arbor.
Hey, thank you for this quick informative video. I have a question, is it worth it to do this with every wind up watch? or just the ones that are fully wound?
Question about selling on etsy. Say you list and item for 100 on there and it sells for 100. How much are you left with from that 100 after etsy take their fees. Online it says their fees are 6.5% but that sounds too good to be true.
Can you do a video on how to put your click spring back in? I was trying to be careful, but I loosened the screw to far. There is a tiny tiny spring that has me!!! not knowing how it was situated . OH BOY!
I don't think it's a Waltham watch. I don't see Waltham stamped on the movement anywhere. It looks like a recased movement of some kind, but I don't think Waltham made anything in this watch. It just has Waltham printed on the after market cheap rinestone dial.
I love that you listen to your watches and try to give the what they ask for.
Thanks so much
Thank you so much I released the spring cause I wound it to tight and it works good now
Thanks for watching. I’m glad it helped
@vintagesterlingfinds no, thank you. Yep.

@@1955mercury the watch came to me like this. My guess is the previous owner overwound the hell out of it
@@vintagesterlingfinds I was replying to Mark_MG, it is impossible to overwind a watch.

@@DurbinWatches11 just the ones that are fully wound. There’s no point doing it if the watch is not fully wound
Very helpful video but how do you ensure it doesn’t happen again?
It can always happen. I recommend stopping once any sort of resistance is felt. It takes time to learn the feeling
thank you
Anytime
Hello, I try to wind it but the crown doesn’t move. What I can so is pull the crown and move hands to set the time
@@abihail it means the watch is fully wound and not working
@@vintagesterlingfindswhat can be done in such a situaution
How to know watch is working or not by look ? Please guide
Because the balance wheel was not moving. If it is working the wheel would rotate back and forth
@@vintagesterlingfindsthanks

my clickspring doesn't push to the side, do I have to take it off?
@@onelphil8832 try winding the watch. That usually moves the click spring a little to push it.
If you remove it the spring can go flying
Thanks

Yes it’s 6.5% plus a 2.5% transaction fee, so total 9%
@vintagesterlingfinds darn so 91 bucks is what you're left with. That's really good. Ebay comes out to about 17%
@@HarperPath i agree, but much more people shop on eBay
Easier to see what you're doing if you don't move your hands and the movement up and down.
Thanks for this.
@@danamcreynolds9456 anytime I have improved a lot since then
Ok guys, my screw fell out, the click and a spring 😢

@@elorairby12 ok I can do that soon
That watch is not from the 1920's. Its from the mid to late 1940's or early 1950's.
Ok thanks, I took my best guess
a nice looking thing all the same
@@petersutherland2075 thanks

First time I did that it went zzzzzzzzzz😅
Hahaha the screw was probably loose
So
Thank you
