Thanks, glad you enjoyed it. The one turn thing is a personal preference but I find it typically produces an amplitude of about 180 degrees on a good free moving movement with a good usable mainspring, also handy for establishing lift angle of an unknown movement

Thank you. I appreciate that and hope you enjoy the content.

All Orient movements are very Seiko-ish. Even prior to orient being under the Seiko umbrella. I think they're highly under appreciated watches. Every bit as good as Seiko and far cheaper.

Thanks. They're a lovely movement aren't they. Big fan of Orient and I think they're very underrated.

Hope it's helpful for you.

@@spidiq8 yeah definitely very useful, I noticed you're using a 3d printed holder, ill have to have a look for a file design. Ps l see you have some bike videos, ill have a look. Thanks Jay

@@overlandmotorcycletours4785 Yes I design and print a lot of my holders. Pla is great as it's direct enough but won't Mark or damage any movements. I do have a few bike videos. Some reviews and some mechanical etc. If you go to my playlists you'll see most things are group categorised as I do have a variety of content so you'll find all my bike related videos under one heading, all watch related under another, coffee related another etc etc

Thanks, I'm not sure of the year of manufacture other than certainly mid to late seventies but it continued into the eighties.

The automatic winding system on these is the same as Seiko with the 'magic' lever push pull system. Clean the pawl lever and 1st reduction wheel as you normally would in whatever solvent you use and after reassembly add 2 small drops of 9010 to the teeth of the 1st reduction wheel then operate the oscillating weight round a few times. The pivots are lubricated with D5.

Thanks so much for the info. It will make it incredibly easier when I dive in to restore mine. If I may I have just one more question. I am thinking of replacing the main spring to give it the watch more life. Where can I order a new one for this caliber. I just can’t seem to find any place to buy them from .

The stem should remove easily if that's what you're referring to? Pressing the release and drawing it out should suffice unless it's internally corroded in which case you'll need to disassemble the movement in the case until you can access it to free it.

It depends on the movement and watch. Both metal and plastic are used for dial rings and for movement rings.

Oh, I see. Thank you for the reply. Really appreciate it. And great video 👍🏼.

Changing the day wheel is easy provided you have a little experience removing and refitting dials and hands. The tricky bit is getting a replacement day wheel, often it's easier to buy a complete watch or movement for spares. Getting Orient spares is not easy unfortunately but a Seiko day wheel may fit. Which country are you in?

@@spidiq8 Based out of Bahrain

@@ahmedyousufabdullah Unfortunately I don't know anyone to recommended there. But any competent recommended watchmaker would certainly be able to do this. The tricky bit as said would be getting the parts needed.

@@spidiq8 thanks. Now the questions is how to find a day date wheel in Arabic that exactly fits and works with orient. Any hints?

@@ahmedyousufabdullah Sadly not! Getting Orient parts is a nightmare, I have been searching for a replacement crown for a Kano five watch of mine for months and unlike other watches including Seiko who Orient are a part of you just don't see spares listed anywhere. First thing to do is to to find out if they made an Arabic dial for the day/date style and if so it might be a case of trawling eBay and local selling sites to find a complete movement or watch cheaply to swap the parts from.

No, this will risk damaging the fragile hairspring. You need to demagnetise it with a commercially and cheaply available demagnetiser. Magnetism makes the hairspring coils stick together, If they're tangled across one another this typically happens due to the balance being dropped.

@@spidiq8 thank you for your reply sir. I will follow your instructions.

A very tiny drop of moebius 9415 on the face of the pallet stones. I do this under a microscope as it's incredibly difficult to do accurately without.

The movement is an excellent well tried and tested one, similar to many Seiko. Good reliable, accurate and dependable.

Thx friend! 😀

What make? It's an Orient, I couldn't tell you a model number but there were many of this type made much like the Seiko 5

If you have one needing servicing I'd be happy to discuss it with you.

There could be numerous reasons for a watch stopping, a service would be the starting point.

I'm not sure what you're asking?

If you're just starting out and want to keep costs to a minimum you can get by with Moebius 8000 and a tube of Molykote DX grease. All pivots are oiled and all sliding metal to metal surfaces greased. A barrel arbor in a metal bushng can be greased as an alternative to oiling. To expand a little the minimum i'd recommend are as follows. Moebius 8300 grease, Keyless works, barrel arbor, cannon pinion, calendar jumpers. Moebius 8217 braking grease, barrel wall for slipping mainsprings. Moebius D5 / HP1300 Barrel arbor, cannon pinion, 2nd wheel, (occasionally 3rd wheel on large movements), some keyless components, oscillating weight bearings. Moebius 9010, 3rd, 4th, escape wheel pivots, pallet stone faces (there's a special lubricant for this but it's expensive) The above is simply a general guide, for your Orient movement i'd recommend the following. 8217 barrel wall 8300 for all the metal to metal including the barrel arbor if it's in metal bushings. D5/HP1300 barrel arbor if jewelled and 2nd wheel pivots, cannon pinion, oscillating weight bearings. 9010 3rd, 4th, escape, 1st reduction wheel teeth that the magic lever for the auto winding bear on. Silicone grease for crown and case back gasket.
