The difference n procedures between you and Marshal on wristwatch revival is just enough to show your individualisms. I enjoy you both and find you both to be way above average. Mistakes like the one you show in this video are bound to happen. You correct them as soon as you recognize them. That is the mark of a professional in my view. This was another great video and I look forward to many more.
Wow man, your work is so amazing! And your sense for fine detail and music is equally amazing. I have a 100 plus year old solid silver pocketwatch l inherited from my grandfather, and it needs a rebuild. I hope some day l can send it to you.
Thanks for that. It was very educational. Having watched many of these videos, I'm left wondering why nobody ever cleans the dial, assuming it would even be capable of being cleaned?
Thanks for the comm! Cleaning the dial is not an easy process. First you need the "go ahead" from the owner of the watch and the majority want the dial untouched for it keeps the history of it, the "scars of time". Second, depending on the type of the dial, trying to clean it will in most cases ruin the dial partially or completely. Thirdly, repainting it's a timely and costly process.
Got three of these, one harvested from a poor Sekonda Hunter to power my Zlatoust, one in a marriage reglateur which needs a stripdown as the ferrule of the stem has snapped off inside the hole and another Sekonda railroad hunter that needs a new balance, lovely movements. Now I wish there was a way to simply convert them from 3602's to 3603's, I imagine a time served watchsmith could do so quite well but I am an amateur collector who can fix things if not too tricky, I think reaming out and pressing in a setting on both sides is way way beyond me lol
Outstanding! keep them coming. love the editing, simple and calm. the work does the talking, speaks pride and excellence. my first mechanical is in the mail along with basic tools. one question please, what magnification loupe for things like polishing anglage do you use? thank you
10x - 20x mag lens, I work on the parts of big watches without mag lens often but everytime I do anglage or other custom modification I check under the microscope the process. I got used to it this way.
Surprising you didn't attempt to clean the dirt off the dial. How did you repair the barrel hole/bushing that let the barrel wobble prior to dissassembly and service? The main spring arbor(?) barrel post(?) was wobbling in the plate hole after you removed the wheels, so the wobble couldn't have been caused by a loose screw. It looked like at leasy one jewel was pitted or worn where the pivot for whatever wheel it was sat, or was it just super dirty with old dried oil?. Did you have to replace any of the jewels? I quit at 14:32. Did you put it on a timer and play with the regulation at all, to get it running as accurately as possible?
Hi, Thanks for the comment. As I wrote in the description of the video, I fixed the huge wobble with a staking set but unfortunately the footage got lost, I knew I recorded because I checked, but during download of the footage somewhere I deleted them from the camera being sure now I have a copy on my PC...but when I got to editing I found out I lost all the footage of that process. The dial was a weird one, It was like paper on the copper and not paint, from a previous service you can see oil fingerprints on the dial, the paint was fragile, I only worked a little bit on the edge where the dirt was cemented on it and left it untouched in the end. Everything was covered in dirty dried oil, even the teeth of the wheels had dried oil on them, was a pain to clean it. As for the timer, I use an app that every watchmaker apparently hates because "its not the reading of an original Witschi timegrapher" for me it does the job, is showing how accurate is, also noise inside the watch etc. but I avoid to put the footage of the app reading because of the angry watchmakers. When I will have the time and founds I will buy a timegrapher but only to show it on youtube as for me it does not make a difference because the app also have an accurate reading. Thanks for your time and thanks that you watched almost the entire video.
Hi, I explained in the description...I did recorded the fixing with a staking set but the footage got lost...I probably deleted before download. I did recorded because I checked on the camera but somehow it got lost during download and deleting the memory card afterwards...angry on that but I can't do anything about it.
I believe the dial says "Kristall"... You should try a Poljot deck watch. They are based on a modified Ulysse Nardin calibre and are built to an exceptionally high standard.

@@timeonmyhandsrestoration Thanks for that detailed answer. It was very much appreciated. I had suspected they were too fragile.

@@timeonmyhandsrestoration understood, thank you
Another spectacular restoration! Any chance you could share how you clean the parts in the video? Thank you!
Cleaning machine with Elma Red 1:9 and rinsed with Suprol Pro.
@@timeonmyhandsrestoration thank you so much!

The mainspring barrel had severe end shack. You didn't show how you resolved it.

Hi there! Thanks for the comment. I'm not fond of soviet watches at all...but I have a Polijot of a friend on the list of watches that I need to fix.
good video, but you are missing a back plate.
