I am not a professional but a hobbyist, this guy says, but what he is doing looks extremely professional to me. I can't remember any "similar" video, where anyone have been so careful with what they are doing, the way he is protecting parts of the watch under glass bells so the are not getting dirty, uses small plastic bags and rubber membranes as a protective layer between his tools and the watch's small parts. He may not have a formal watchmaking education, but he is damn good and very humble🤗🤗🤗

I like the dial. Orange with black hands would make for a nice high-contrast/dim light legibility watch. 👍

I like Bergeon 2611. It has a big hole (google it and you know what i mean) so you can see with bare eye without having to take off the loupe. Also that hole helps in ventilation otherwise the loupe will get foggy and blind you every other few minute of wearing.

Plastic wheels... thats why I will never buy these 7S or 4R Seiko. They are simply not designed to last like they used to. Such a shame. I don't see the reason why, maybe they can cut down a tiny bit of cost in manufaturing but I only see they make it worst and also increase the price of their watches.
@magicofwheels3 жыл бұрын
Totally agree with you, as far as I know they use those plastic parts for cost saving. Come on!!!, as you metioned, how much they could save. As user, we are willing to pay more for better quality.

I don't like plastic, but broken calendar wheels are almost always due to attempting a day/date correction near midnight. Plastic is a very low friction material and a day / date flip takes a lot of power from the movement which I think is why they used plastic on these low cost movements. You can send an "all metal" ETA movement to the repair bench by forcing a date correction near midnight especially older ETA movements. It damages the metal teeth on the date ring.

@@scdevon ETA calendar is spring loaded so that they can change instantly, all parts are metal yet the mainspring can handle them just fine. They even build more complication on top of ETA. Not to mention modern mainspring are superior compare to the past so metal wheel is not the problem. Seiko once made the 56 movement in their vintage Lord Matic and this movement are well know with a design flaw: the day-date corrector wheel is made of plastic with tension and it easily break itself overtime. I agree that if the date was changed in the wrong time, the wheels can be broken regard plastic or metal. I just think they shouldn't use plastic for anything in their movement, if the reason is to save some cost then it is not worth it, or Seiko just wants your watch to have a chance to break so they could be happy to sell you a new watch.

@@sonvu9756 - OK, but even a Seiko hobbyist can replace calendar wheels in literally minutes IF they ever break and the parts are dirt cheap. You can always get Seiko parts "out of the back door" of Seiko dealers or just donor movements. The Swiss mafia won't even sell you ETA parts anymore. (most of my collection is Swiss, BTW). Seikos are good cheap workhorse movements even with plastic parts and so easy to work on, it's ridiculous.
