Ok. Just followed this to the letter. Utterly brilliant. What a great video.

This video has saved my young watchmaking career and my pride. I've worked on antique pocket watches and decided to dive into this very movement as my first worst watch. This was not a smart move on my part, lol. Every single thing I've been struggling with was touched on perfectly in this series! Thanks again sir!

hi there, thanks for these vids, with your help I have just stripped cleaned and got one of these ticking, (big moment when I got the balance in) it will never keep time as the bearing on the main bridge is badly worn, but it ticks away happily and im a happy man! thanks again for your super detailed vid.

Just getting involved in this watch repair hobby. Have bought the basic tools but have learned that I need a 2.5mm screwdriver (blue) to remove a rotor - waiting for Amazon to deliver it today. Also have bought the Cousins screwdriver sharpener as my screwdrivers aren’t sharp enough.

@MyRetroWatches Жыл бұрын

You need a half decent set of drivers and my main advise is to buy some good tweezers. I only use Dumont and had the same pair for years HItec Dumont size 00. Sharpening blades is a whole other skill. I tend to buy cheaper ends from Cousins and just bin them rather than sharpen. Probably not the best approach!

Going to see if I can do a teardown and rebuild with a bit of a junker sometime soon. We'll see how it goes! Have you ever done rebuilds of the extra complicated movements? Like chronographs or the bellmatic?

It helps to put your index finger on top of the screwdriver to control the amount of pressure and avoid slippages that scratch the parts

I've just disassembled this movement and will clean it and reassemble it tomorrow. I was wondering why it was so familiar .... I'd watched this video a couple of times lol Also my optivisor arrived today so no more having to have my nose almost touching the movement to see, yay. Thanks for the video, I will have the reassembly one running when I reassemble it tomorrow and hopefully post the final result in group.

Hello! I have a question about the Seiko 5, or rather about all wristwatches. What size springs are installed there? So the ones in the spring barrel and on the balance wheel? Can I use the same size springs in every watch? Do you have a link where you can get these cheap? Thank you very much for your informative channel. Greetings Alex

@MyRetroWatches Жыл бұрын

Mainsprings are specific to movement so you have to find the specs of the watch or use parts suppliers to find you one that will fit. You can’t buy hairsprings on there own they again are all different and they are harmonically balanced to the wheel so the wheel and spring are as one. All movement specific.

@Gwinter452 4 жыл бұрын

Thanks. Is there any difference between the 6309a with the crown at 4 vs 3 o'clock? I'm searching for a replacement movement at 3

@MyRetroWatches 4 жыл бұрын

Gwinter452 movement wise they are the same, the day and date discs are specific to the crown position so a 4 won’t show in a 3 window

@Gwinter452 3 жыл бұрын

@@MyRetroWatches Oh wow, good to know. I originally figured it would align as long as the 4 o'clock crown wasn't at the 3:45 position. Looking at my watch I see a huge gash on the ratchet wheel, so I'm hoping that swapping that out will have it winding better :) thanks
