While I would normally cringe at what you are doing, and others have said pretty much the same, I can see your point here, salvaging a tool that would otherwise be junk and unusable is NOT the same as ruining a good tool! I enjoyed the video and would like to see other tools saved from the junk pile!

I clearly should have made that point more clear in the video. Glad you enjoyed!
This helped my replace my crystal. It's so much easier than discussions led me to believe. Pop the ring off, pull the white o-ring and the crystal comes right out. No need to bend the new one - it just fell into place.
there is SERIUM powder to polish the acrylic watch crystals, is what I use, before I was combining ashes with liquid soap in equal quantity, ONE DROP of it on a cotton cloth and polish. great video AAAAA+++++
May I suggest when taking fingers from any dial cover the dial with plastic to avoid scratching also you can buy a watchmakers tool to release the fingers ....great job though enjoyed it
Machinist tools always fascinate me. Well done!! What camera are you using?

I've been using more more machinst tools in my woodworking, I love them. The camera is an Sony alpha a6300. Works great but to film 4k it needs external batteries and it over heats after a while.
I gotta say it. Bravo to you. Keep up the good work. I loved the innovation. My favorite part has gotta be the hammer and anvil trick to calibrate tool. Seriously not joking or being sarcastic. That was awesome. Hit the like guys. I wanna see more cool shit. 😂
How did you end up getting that small spring back on between thr two gears. I've been fighting getting it lined back up. Is their some type of trick? Thanks
Well, after that I thought you should have posted an hour long video reviewing all the existing toothpastes in a scientific manner... How do I know what to use in my case?! :p Nice video though! I had no trust but you've saved this tool! Well done! 👍
A vernier is only acurate to 0.001, that level of accuracy can easily be achived with a file or stone. At the biggening of my video I also explained that this video was an extream mesure to fix a tool that would otherwise be thrown away. But thank you for your constructive criticism!

I appreciate the subtle dry humor.

Thank for the tip!
Are you able to fit the crystal back in without using a hot glue?
For polishing a plastic crystal, at least for watches, there is a material called Polywatch. I've never used it but apparently it works well.
Good to know!

Thank you for the advice!
Who would have thought you could fix something as complicated as that thing, Good video.

Thanks for sharing
After watching many of your videos I'm not sure there's anything you can't do. Amazing. I'm certain I would have bogged this one terribly.

Éloïse, this was a great video !! this is Pierre from great lakes tool works btw
Gald you enjoyed it!
Great video as usual!
I have 1 and needle seems to be moving out of place.
Before doing anything drastic, try cleaning the rack as well as possible. They often skip just from a dirty rack
Use McGuire's visor polish from auto parts store.
Well done. Too bad they don't repair watches and clocks anymore. You would be great.
Congratulations on an interesting video. Enjoying watching your style. Cheers
I can email you a copy of Starrett’s official repair manual if you would like.
When you broke out the file Mr Starrett rolled over in his grave!!!!!
It was animal for sure, but it gave it a second life! I think he would be proud! Or at least, not overly angry ;)
@ At least the measurement will be repeatable so that alone makes it better than the cheap digital ones on ebay.

Nice video though! I had no trust but you've saved this tool! Well done! 👍
Bravo pour ta photo à Lee Valley Laval

Sound like you wear pink shirts
Worst part of the video: we can't see you =(
I work on a lot of small bits in the shop and having the camera upclose Is the only way to see what I'm doing most of the time
@ Yeah sure, eagle carving video on instagram was badass though.
This is Painful to watch
