Would you please fix my 999b.Amarican Ball RR18 ,it needs balance wheel work.

Awesome show, thank-you.

I have a similar Hamilton to this. It runs but was put threw the washing machine and the hands were broken off. It needs a service new hands and possible crystal replacement. Do you provide this service?

Beautiful i like the movement

Ive been trying to service an Elgon that has a near identical movement to this. What set of screwdrivers did you use for this? All of my screwdrivers slip...

Good God , get on with it. No need to read the whole Bible for one verse.

I’ve grabbed a handful of these the last month or so and I feel like they will be perfect for me to learn on. Glad I found your video and channel.

Very meticulous work as usual.

what is the use of the extra screw on the barrel bridge?

Well done...

Could you have also put the fork in before the train of wheels so you don't have to feed it under the centre wheel?

Well You got lucky . I have gotten watches with major issues .

An incredible and fascinating video! Thank you for your hard work.

Amazing to ‘watch’ and the watch is superb-you are so talented and well equipped, I was just looking at a Hamilton 992B and the parts are so tiny, eg: the micro-regulating screw :-)

So why was it running fast?

Good filming

I gave My Brother a Elgin made in 1891 and I had to replace the roller table jewel and the main spring . It is only 7 jewel but keeps really good time .

May i ask what solution you use to clean the parts? Thank you.

Wonder why You did not polish the pivot .

beautiful watch and great restoration. Thanks for the video.

An extraordinary restoration given the number of serious defects to begin with.

Thanks! I'd never seen case spring pliers before. Beautiful watch and restoration.

Great video with very informative information especially the use of balsa wood as a buffing tool. Can you tell me what you soaked the plate in to remove the dirt and rust as it came up really nice. Thanks again, appreciate the tips😀👍

That is an awesome incredibly lovely watch both inside and out! What do you think that watch would have cost when it was brand new in 1895?

Great video, it answered my questions as I'm about to try installing my first "T" end mainspring. I'm wondering, after winding the mainspring into the drum and having left that little bit out of the winder, if it wouldn't be a little easier to hold the winder in one hand and the barrel in the other, and then position the T-end of the mainspring into the barrel and then move the barrel closer to the winder so that it sandwiches the mainspring end against the inside of the barrel while you then fully insert the winder into the barrel? Basically, instead of having to grab the mainspring end with tweezers and maneuver it into the barrel, if you couldn't instead maneuver it in by using the barrel to gather it up, press it against the winder, and then finish inserting the winder all the way into the barrel? If that makes sense :)

I have a 1942 Hamilton 992B labeled US Gov. It is in a stainless steel case with a canteen crown. Any idea of worth?

You didn't show the most important step, removing the adjustment pen.... 😢😓

I asked someone once if the hole jewels could be replaced in a setting . So I see you do it thanks for that.

Great work. I don't think I've ever seen anyone install the wheels like that. Usually, I only have the pallet fork installed upside down. Learned something new today, thanks!

What did you use to soak the plate in, great video

I never worked on a Rockford . I think I tried to find on on ebay but think the prices have highly inflated recently .

Every time I see someone take a screw driver to a watch, I cringe. Nothing but respect for watchwakers.

I thought BUNNSPECIAL was a channel, one that I especially like. The name of the channel is no more or less interesting than darthvader, I mean redvitis . All kidding aside, although BUNNSPECIAL is cool. Anyhow, great job and beautiful time piece!!!!!!

Good job! Very classic watch too.

Can i get this fixed by a watch maker and if so u know how much will it cost around ? Pls

thanks SO MUCH for taking the time to produce this 3-video series!

Idk what’s ups with my watch but yesterday it was perfect with time now it was 3 seconds behind so I just had to fix the time again

Hey Red, thanks for showing off that beautiful movement! I am working on a similar (956) movement that also has the "hook" attached to the long blued screw under the barrel bridge. Around 17:28, you mention that it has something to do with winding the watch when uncased. I was wondering if you have any more information on the name of that part or how exactly it is used.

There is another good thing about closing the pivot holes and adjusting them with the broaching tool, the brass gets hardened by the dragging and pulling by the broaching and therefore works much better as a bushing 😊

A real beauty… thanks!

What's the best way to do this for the minute hand which doesn't have a tube?

من فضلك عندي ساعة pierpont نسائية قديمة وهي بحالة جيدة واريد بيعها60000$ وعندي ساعة Sndoz قديمة رجالية لكن في مشكلة بسيطة بالميناء ولكنها تعمل بشكل جيد 60000 $ وساعة sirgint بحالة نوعا ما جيدة 5000$ ولكم جزيل الشكر

Excellent narrative, clear photography!

Where can I buy this watch name?

really great job, you’re one of the few watchmakers oiling the crown where you put the wheels under them…and brass tweezers to avoid any kind of damage…

Beautiful movement.

I have an Illinois Bunn Special I need to close the seconds hand tube. I fear over tightening and collapsing it. To start I am inserting a PIN GUAGE of the size the goes in snug, then work it down a step at a time. Typical .02 mm using the set that I have.

I have a cracked chrono seconds hand and itnis therefore loose. When the chrono is activated and stopped it does not reset to 12. One tick over. I’ll try the method you used. But since mine is cracked, I may have to also laser weld it. Btw, do you have an second seller to recommend for hands? My watch is neo vintage so ball park 2005. But the hand seems like one they might be found on other watches as well. Thanks
