Great outcome! It’s really cool to see knowing how much work, research, and tool set up culminated in this result. As for gloves on the lathe, I haven’t had an issue with getting shard stuck in my skin during turning. However, I made the terrible mistake of wiping off the table with my bare hand. THAT is something I’ll never do again 😢
Thanks Chris! And thanks again for your excellent lathe and part-making videos! Great advice about not hand wiping also! I'll add that to my next video about the lathe!
Thanks for uncovering the small details on wrists!! I had been fascinated by Stefan Pahlow's lifetime of watchmaking (but he is too advanced for me really)...
Thanks! I just subscribed to Stefan's channel based on your comment as I either hadn't seen it before or when I did it was too advanced for me as well (his logo looks familiar). In any case thanks for this comment and for mentioning him! His work looks amazing!
Ha! I am getting better but I'm not sure this video shows any real evidence of that! I haven't been publishing videos because I'm lazy, but this lathe and a larger one that I got with a cross slide are both super fun.
I didn't end up needing that on the second one but that was a fun solution and it did work on the first one. I assume that all manner of cutters like that are available for watchmaker's lathes (or were back in the day anyway- if you have the money and time to source them) but I was interested in solving the problem with what I had on hand.
Thanks Elder Pinto! I still have to do a complete revision of the movement and now I've unfortunately (or fortunately) raised the stakes in terms of not wanting to mess it up! This one is going to have to wait until I really know what I'm doing!
@@IMakeWatches i uderstand that ists a 400 dolar movement and yess you dont want to mess it up. time will tell you when the moment is there.. no rush is needed ..
That movement is called 16-250 because it's 16mm diameter and 2.5mm high. I have much smaller movements that I plan to work on in the future - down to about 8mm! I can't wait to see and work on the hairspring on the smallest watch movement of all!
Im number 8 !!!!! great video !!!! Vintage Mod of a vintage woman's watch movement into a vintage woman's watch case !!!! talk about way outside youtube matrix LOL
@@IMakeWatches Goodness me - don't do that. Any lathe/ mill work I do I wear a face shield. Allows me to still wear a loupe, other galsses, etc. It's saved me a few times over the years - once from a spinning chuck!
Those are Zeiss Jena binocular magnifying lenses with dual prisms to correct the parallax. The prisms reduce the interocular - i.e. distance between the eyes, which is important in order to reduce eye strain and avoid the hyper-stereo effect that occurs with too great of an interocular distance relative to the distance of the subject. I didn't praise them as much as I feel I should have. I think they're really great now and are perfect for this kind of work. Just be careful if you see them used on Ebay as they have to match your own interocular within a millimeter or two. Mine happen to be correct for me at 65mm, but they made a range of sizes and they are not adjustable. You can get your interocular from an optometrist. If you have any previous prescription it will also be written on that (usually as two numbers L & R that when added together give you the total - I guess for people whose noses are off center from back before most conflicts were solved with lawyers.) 😂😂😂
@@WatchWithMike Mike, could you please do a video about measuring interocular distance? I didn't quite get what you were saying about the helper. Don't they also need to be infinitely far away from you to eliminate their own parallax shift, or do they do it nose to nose with separate left and right eye observations (assuming that both noses: yours and your helpers', are centered)? And if the latter don't they need to have the exact same interocular as you do to eliminate parallax? 😂😂😂
Fantastic work Dayton !!!! Your wife is going to love it !!! what a special thing
Until or unless I wreck in subsequent work on it! That's always a possibility unless she hides it from me! 😂😂😂
@@IMakeWatches it is in the box. let her have it then you can wreck it later !!!!!
Thank you for this class of a watch restoration. Not just fake clean something like everybody else. Sir you're a true watchmaker.
Ha ha! I'm just having fun, but I appreciate the compliment! 😂😂😂

great effort and result. Thanks for sharing the journey with us
Thanks!
🎉 looks amazing ..you look very comfortable with the lathe now !

Using the balance screw under cutter to modify the winding stem,
Ill be damned !!!! thats one hell of a jump outside the box !!! Bravo !!!!

@@IMakeWatches Not that ive seen. but i do hasve that same undercutter tool
this was realy nice Dayton wauw love the watch ...love the outcome great great and a realy nice job my friend

Its a joy to follow you work on such a project, it turned out really great!
Thanks!
Beautiful job!
Thanks!
All round epic!
Thank you Sir!
When your using Rodico to pickup and place your watch movement your working on one difficult scale !!!!

@@IMakeWatches I have some of the bulova tiny movements. pallet fork you could inhale
Im number 8 !!!!!
great video !!!!

thats a long story lol
