Thanks for this video - I'll be re-assembling my wife's 2135 this weekend. The silence is interesting - seems OK to me - I'll be running it at 25% speed which makes it slow enough for me and I'll be stop/starting it a lot - what I really need is the step by step and the oil numbers. I like that you say don't lube here per the manual. I have the manual and it is comforting to know that you have it too and are referencing it. Nice job!! PS - J,K,L on keyboard are back 10 secs, play/pause and forward 10 secs on TH-cam. I bought a 3 foot pedal set from PCSensor to put on the floor (USB wired version and Bluetooth version) which I set to J,K,L.. It works great to keep your hands free while watching and start/stopping instructions. I use it for guitar lessons and great for this too.
There is generally two ways lubricating escapement. lubricate pallet jewel and lubricate teeth of escapewheel. In video, I lubricated on escape wheel teeth(18:38), nowdays I lubricate pallet jewel. Each method have positives and negatives so, I recommend you use various way and then select best for you.
thank you for the great video! my 2135 got smashed in transit and the post office refused any accountability.so this is my first attempt at watch repair! i have a question if you have time...does the seconds wheel simply lift out? i already removed the hands but it seems stuck.the jewel in the bridge was crushed so i got a new bridge with the jewel already in it
You need some sound. Either talk threw it, over it, or even just the ambient noise of the work you are doing. Its hard to watch that long in complete silence.
It's good suggestion. I always think about it. My video usually about over 20 minutes, so I have felt difficult find suitable music for it. This mute video is one test version of solution. But no sound is not answer :) Thanks for your feedback!

I see you don't lubricate the pallet jewel .it is not necessary?

And you MUST lubricate the escapement(pallet jewel or escapewheel teeth)
