This watch was a reward for the long service provided by my stepfather's dad in 1969 from the company he worked for. It had an odd issue that caused it to wind stiffly, perform poorly, and run for a short amount of time. I will be going through the process of cleaning and lubricating the movement components, and I will also be tracking down and repairing the fault. I will be showing you the before and after results. Although this video is provided for entertainment, I hope that you learn something from it. Enjoy!
The movement had stopped working and had a very difficult winding crown. Despite having a new bearing fitted previously, the movement had a very low amplitude of just 110 degrees. The watch was stripped down and cleaned, the barrel bridge repaired and the crown replaced. The amplitude was improved to 190-200 degrees and the overall timing was adjusted. The case and bracelet were cleaned and buffed and the watch is now working perfectly. - The watch was a lovely reminder of my stepfather's dad and was a very special project to work on. The movement was well constructed and had a few nice design touches which made it stand out. Once the repair was complete, the watch was a pleasure to use. It was a great feeling to bring it back to life and to have it working as it should. The watch was a great success and I was proud to have been able to restore it. It was a great reminder of the importance of family and of the craftsmanship and precision of watchmaking. - 5 key facts about CYMA watches... 1. They were founded over 120 years ago in Geneva, Switzerland, as a small family-run business. 2. The initially specialized in producing handcrafted pocket watches and chronographs. 3. They continue to have a presence in over 70 countries. 4. They're a renowned brand in the watchmaking industry to this day. 5. They continue to offer a wide range of luxury timepieces for both ladies and gents. - Enroll Today on the Watch Repair Course: watchfix.com Full HD Video Lessons streamed to your PC/MAC, Phone or Tablet - Instagram: instagram.com/watchrepairguy Twitter: @watchrepairguy Facebook: http://facebook.com/watchservices - Discuss watch repair issues and learn more at https://www.WatchRepairTalk.com/ - People are always asking me which cameras & equipment I use to make these videos.

#restoration #vintage #watchWe need a pallet warmer. Lets make one. Basic Toolmaking for Watchmakers.Watch Repair Channel2019-11-12 | Whilst restoring this transitional '90s Vostok Amphibia/Komanderskie I found a massive blob of shellac covering the entry pallet. My pallet warmer may well be in pallet warmer heaven and I need to get this watch finished - I have no choice but to make one. When you are training to become a watchmaker you are effectively training to become a toolmaker also. Many tasks require tools which are either hard to come by, extremely expensive or are completely obsolete. And as you progress as a watchmaker you will find the need to make bespoke tools. This video covers one of those bespoke tools which is absolutely required from time to time on the watchmakers bench - A Pallet Warmer. Join me as I make one and follow the link below to download free plans to make one yourself. I hope you enjoy.

#restoration #watch #antiqueI BUILT A WATCH OUT OF JUNK PARTS. Rusty Chronograph Parts to Full ETA 7750 Chronograph Restoration.Watch Repair Channel2019-07-05 | I BUILT A WATCH FROM JUNK PARTS. Rusty Chronograph Parts to Full ETA 7750 Chronograph Restoration. ... In this recycling restoration challenge we take a big bunch of scrap valjoux (ETA) 7750 watch parts to see if we can build a working and reasonably accurate complicated Automatic Chronograph wristwatch.
To be clear - scrap or used movement parts should never be used in a customer repair job. This video is for entertainment purposes and was really just an experiment on my part to see if it could be done.
This project presented quite a few challenges, not least the amount of corrosion which needed to be dealt with. Can we get it working? If so., can it be accurate? Let’s see!

Forgot to mention in the video - the array of different screws in this movement is incredible - seems like a different screw for nearly every fitting. Did anybody notice the mistake I made in the video and later it got rectified? Why not watch again and then comment below if you spot the mistake :) In this video we take an extremely tired old 1960's Seiko Automatic 6216A gentlemans wristwatch and give it a fresh lease of life.

----------------------------------------------------------The watch is gaining time - theres a surprising reason! - watch repair course and lessonsWatch Repair Channel2017-09-12 | Full Details on the watch repair course here: watchrepairlessons.com
As you may see, this movement is in pretty poor condition. It’s an old pocket watch movement, not regularly serviced, the plates are stained with corrosion and I suppose even when it did require repairs, the previous owner may not have invested much to have it done properly.
As you can observe, the watch was gaining at a rate of over 500 seconds per day, the amplitude was way down at around 150 degrees and the beat error was considerable at around 4.5 milliseconds. Clearly there was something wrong.

When working with this movement for illustrating the lessons in my Watch Repair Course, I have perhaps stripped it down and re-assembled it some 5 or 10 times in the past month.
The last time I did this was during the Live stream and once it was assembled the watch gave a very low amplitude. I did not show this in the stream as it was then past 10pm and I had dinner waiting for me, but when I came back to the movement the following morning, sure enough it was running with very poor performance.

The balance on this vintage pocket watch movement has a rather large amount of side shake and low amount of amplitude and upon investigation I found that the jewel hole on the balance cock is damaged. This is a rub-in style of jewel and a new one will need to be fitted using specialist tools for the purpose.
I start by removing the balance assembly from the cock by unscrewing the stud screw. This loosens the stud from the balance cock and allows me to push the stud out.
With the balance assembly removed from the cock I now have access to the end-stone screws. After removing these screws the end-stone falls away alone with the regulator index.
Now I can properly inspect the jewel hole and indeed it is quite damaged.
First I will extract the old jewel, and I do this with a jeweling tool. This one is made by Favorite although Seitz is another popular brand. After choosing a pusher of diameter slightly smaller than the jewel and set the vernier gauge so that the pusher rests just above the jewel I press down on the tool handle whilst slowly turning the vernier adjustment which causes the pusher to press down on the jewel. Doing this slowly allows the jewel to be extracted whilst the metal holding the jewel in place opens but doesn’t split.
After removing the old jewel the metal surrounding the jewel is still fairly compressed so we need to use the spreading tool to open the diameter enough for the new jewel to be seated.
Now I need to use these kinds of jeweling tool specially made for rub-in jewels. In this set there are two tools of several sizes each. One is to spread the metal which holds the jewel in place so that the new jewel can be placed. And the other is to close the metal around the jewel once fitted thus securing it tightly in place.
I’m applying some oil to the tool jaws then after inserting the jaws into the jewel seating I adjust the screw so that the jaws speed outwards and arrest the metal. Then I turn the tool and continue to open the jaws until the gap is big enough for the jewel to fit.
Next I place the jewel into the cavity and using the jewel press I drive the jewel down into its seating, and this ensures that the jewel is flat to the bottom.
Now its time to rub the metal over the jewel so as to secure it.
First I apply some oil to the metal and after adjusting the concave rub over tool to the correct diameter I apply some downwards pressure whilst turning the tool slightly adjusting the diameter if needed. Inspecting the jewel and seating I can see that the metal is now holding the jewel in place with no gaps or wobbles. Its time to re-assemble the balance.
