      @@NekkidWatchmaker Just a question if I may. I purchased a FC highlife chronograph and the chronograph hand jams for a few seconds when almost reaching 12, then it moves again and does the same thing when reaching 12. Sometimes it jammed completely without moving again.
      Also the sub seconds also jams when this is happening. I sent it back to the AD and they say it was because the power reserve was low. Is this possible? And should it be happening just because of a low power reserve?

      @@NekkidWatchmaker Hello fine sir. I was wondering if you could look at a photo of my omega and tell me what it is? And secondly, possibly overhaul it if interested? I have one of the most unique and gorgeous vintage omega watches may have ever seen. It is gold, dark blood metallic red dial,1960s era I believe, squarish case, mens, factory diamonds inside on dial, but the biggest thing...the dial is factory sideways/twisted where the 9oclock is where the 12oclock should be. Can I send a photo?

    What a beautiful restoration. Your cleaning, polishing and describing the errors of previous horologists' work makes this restoration so good because you are not harsh when discussing such faults. Other professionals don't, and neither do you. It is very good, and so pleasing that I feel so honoured subscribing to your channel.

      @@smiling_eyes7903 there's a difference between the use of emojis, to express something and firing them indiscriminately, like a 4-year old. One doesn't have to be a fan (like yourself obviously), to use them in a meaningful way, instead of getting more and more excited with every keystroke, manifesting in the use of even more of them. Using more than 3 should be punishable anyways, at least if the perpetrator is older than 4.

And a craft is something you can do perfect without losing passion. Many can get filled with passion, and then when they have had thier fill they loose interest. And a craft last a lifetime.

    It's very satisfying to see the attention you paid to showing that an insignificant amount of material was removed by weighing the parts.

    I have one of these watches given to me from my grandfather. The jeweler who appraised it 20 years ago said it was a pleasure and a once in a lifetime opportunity to hold one. Unfortunately the gold wristband is not original and the appraisal was considerably lower. It was not dismantled and works fine. It has been a pleasure seeing one actually disassembled, cleaned, and reassembled.

    The scratches on that torbion, they were epic. It looked like people were using an ice pick to undo the clasp. I guess none of them have undone a clasp before.
    The rest of the watch bares the same scars of the serviceman with a bowie knife.

    Lovely, as usual. Is that moly paste that you use in main spring barrels of automatics? Also, what is that tape that you make frequent use of in your excellent and thoughtful finishing work? I need some of that.

      That’s kapton tape. And the grease is called braking grease, likely made by Moebius, tho I don’t know what it is specifically comprised of.

      Yes correct. The grease is kluber p125

    If one takes into consideration the precise measurements required at the inception of each gear, jewel, pinion, and spring, I walk away from these videos with a profound respect for the human engineers who dreamed of these masterpieces and then created them.

    Your videos are fantastic and so enjoyable. If I take apart anything with more than a dozen parts I'm bound to either not get it back together, or as you joked, have a part or two left over after I have reassembled it! You are truly an artist with the work you do. Thank you so much for sharing with us!

    Man, how in the world? One, taking it apart in the correct order, and two, how do you know how to put it back together correctly? I am thoroughly impressed 😮😮😮. 😮

    You are by far the best watch guy on TH-cam, you make a big difference to the watches and make them something worth wearing again.

    My jaw dropped when you restored the hands. You're are artist, my friend.
