- This is where I got this cheap but very useful tool:
a.aliexpress.c...
For more interesting videos about watches I would like to to suggest you the youtube channel of my Italian friend "La clessidra di Ema".
Per altri interessanti video riguardanti l'orologieria vi consiglio di dare un'occhiata al canale del mio amico "La clessidra di Ema". 😉
Truly AMAZING! I'm impressed that you were able to get them into the exact position by eye.
@@tomhill4003 despite the accuracy needed, small errors are forgiven. The old feet position works as reference and there's always some play, it's easy to center the dial just by bending slightly the feet if they are not centered perfectly.
A friend of mine just shared this video on my facebook group page.
What a great tool I will be ordering one .
Thanks for this video sir!
ali express sells this kit for $44.76 and it comes with everything in this video, including other size dial feet.
Link pls
Fantastic video! Thanks for the tips!
Molto interessante. 👍👍👍
Very good, glue also can?
Thank you! much cheaper and safer than the welder.
Those ready made dial feet are very handy. As a toolmaker by trade I would have deburred the top edges of that counter bore you milled into the back of the dial. Brass is a soft metal and any burr on the edge could come off and work its way into the movement.
Thanks. That's definitely true! But I also apply some extra glue over the top of feet base and around the the counter bore after attaching the feet. That should keep everything stable and firm.
THANK YOU MICHELE !!!!!!!!!!! I CAN FIX MY ROLEX NOW =D
Can you update the tool link it seems to be broken. Great video!!!
👍 GREAT JOB!!!( WHERE TO BUY THE ; PLASTIC HOLDER & DEVICE "MILLING" )
THANKS.
Bello ... molto interessante
what glue you use to
If I need to replace the movement of an old watch because the movement can no longer be found, what's the best way to mark the feet position on the dial that would fit a new modern movement pls? Thx!
Usually for the new movements you can find template online with the correct feet position. Otherwise you can temporarily fix the tial with adhesive dots and mark the correct position gently pushing a fine screwdriver trough the feet position on the movement.
What are the reasons for this issue? Does the watch need to get hit to get these feet broken? If yes, then how hard?
Most commonly the feet gets broken during the service of the movement or very strong hit. Sometimes the pulling and pushing with force of the crown can stress the dial feet too...in particular if the movement is not well fixed to the case with a good retention ring or screws.
I have the tool but I have found that the feet eventually become unglued. Is there any way of making the gluing stronger? What glue did you use?
epoxy
Awesome.tyvm much for this video.i have 2 seikos and a Movado that have to dail feet broken on and I just don't want to pay to have them fixed or buy new dails for.think im going buy this tool and maybe a old junk dail to practice on and make an attempt to fix one.all goes well ill do rest and know how to do it from now on.where are you able to buy the new watch feet from or are they ebay as well?
Yes, new feet are very inexpensive and easy to be found.
Thank you!.What glue did you use?
Cianoacrilyc or epoxy
complimenti
What is the thickness of the deal?
How do you know the depth to drill? How do you know when to stop? thanks
The depths of the hole should be at least the same of the thickness is the new feet base. Usually it's around 0.15-0.2mm
Where do I get more cutting blades when they get dull or break? Joaquin
These blades could be re-sharpened many times. Just like a drill bit.
Name of the glue?specially for metals?
It's cyanoacrylate with some small fiber as strengthening additive.
if youre moving feet to a new position, how can I know where to place them? Thanks
The movement manifacture usually gives the specs for feet position otherwise you can print the movement layout on a pice of paper, marking crown feet holes and date positions. Then you can use it as template for finding the new position for the feet on the back of the dial. You can also buy a dial tray, a sort of plate full of holes that can help you to center the feet on the back of the dial

@@Mikicomi23 thank you very much. I’m trying to find the placement of dial feet for the Rolex Datejust 3135 movement but it’s posing to be a difficult task.
Hello, where to find the milling heads?
Never purchased separately, I had always re-sharpened the ones that I had got with the mill
Good work! How do you change feet with a curved dial instead of a flat dial? Thank you!
I would do it the same way. The dial will sit flat in the holder and just mill the counterbore for the feet until you have a full circle cut out on the back of the dial. The cutter will start cutting along the outer edge at first but as you go deeper, it will get gradually cut out a round surface. If you're afraid of breaking thru the dial, cut deep enough to get a half circle and mount the leg to that.
Where can I find this tool????🥺
There are many online shop that sell watchmaking equipment otherwise something you can find on eBay
I would have trimmed the foot and glued the base directly over where the original feet were. Trimming the foot would avoid the need to drill and should save some time. Just my opinion and I am very new to the game...
Without drilling the dial will fit higher than before, drilling strength the joints with the new feet and keep the dial at the same height
Then the dial wouldn't fit flush to the movement. Yes, you are "new" to the game. Think.
Personally I hate reading
