I really enjoyed the video. I have a Precision 510 like this one, It winds and keeps good time.. The dial and the case are very nice but the crystall is covered in fine crazing cracks and I assume would have too be replaced.. Also the the crown is bent and the movement is loose in the case.. I would love to to get it fixed up and start wearing it occasionally.. I would appreciate your thoughts and suggestions on resolving these issue? Im sure it would be in need of service as well.. I really enjoyed the video.

The glass would probably need to be replaced if there are cracks. If it's just scratching, this could be resolved with some patience and using fine sandpaper and polywatch. The case being loose could be due to missing case clamps or the inside of the case is worn down. The crown or stem may have to be replaced if it is bent as these are often usually difficult to correct. All of these jobs could be undertaken at home with minimal tools. You could get away with just using 2 screwdrivers ( 0.8mm and 1.2mm) and a caseback knife (or if you are careful, a sharp kitchen knife could be used however this could result in scratching). Also, a fine pair of tweezers would be beneficial too. I hope this was helpful.

@orbwheelsandwatches 6 ай бұрын
I have only seen a problem on a watch like that before once, it might be worth taking to your local watchmaker to sort it. You could try fitting a rubber gasket inbetween the caseback and the case if it is a similar case style to the one in the video. That should sandwich it together. Sometimes you can carefully bend the thin edges of the case in slightly so that it grips the caseback if it slots into the case. Hope this helps.

Your usage and choice of tools could be called a bit barbaric but in general a nice video. Greetings from Kiel, Germany.
@orbwheelsandwatches 6 ай бұрын
That was a while ago when I was limited with tools. There was nothing that I did that could cause damage to the watch. Using tweezers to fit the hands was a method used in the 1800s before companies like Bergeon and Horotec made proper tools for this. Using the hand removers to remove the cannon-pinion was actually suggested by Bergeon on the packaging. However, my choice of screwdrivers that I used was pretty poor back then and I now use the correct sized ones for what I am doing.

Nice video, good skills, but here a tip from an old watchmaker: 1st rule in watchmaking: never oil the palletfork pivots ! It costs you a lot of amplitude, as you see on the timegrapher, 199 degrees is not really acceptable. No ctriticism, just a friendly tip...
@orbwheelsandwatches 6 ай бұрын
Thanks for the tip. I only found this out about a day ago. I'll bear that in mind for next time as most of the watches I've now serviced have had a low amplitude.

I’m not sure how it ever actually passed an MOT when it was originally built, it had no handbrake, a windscreen wiper motor that was attached to nothing and quite a few other questionable things, it’s got a windscreen wiper and handbrake now and the car is fully road legal and would pass an MOT.
