The problem is that there are no catalogs of watch manufacturers in the public domain. With today's technologies, it is very easy to implement a project, when you just need to upload a photo of your watch and AI will check it the catalog,but ......

Stain, honestly…I’m sitting at my bench listening to you while replacing the hands on a Walkman chronograph, and you got to the part where you were cleaning the DNA from the bezel and started making vomiting noises. Now usually something like this doesn’t bother me, but I’ve had a sour stomach all day, and the minute you started making noise my stomach decided to play havoc with my day and I had to bolt for the bathroom. Thankfully everything came out and I actually feel better now. Unfortunately, while making my hasty exit to the VOMITORIUM, I ended up losing the sub minute hand. I can’t find it anywhere. Luckily, I know where there’s a spare set, so it’s just a matter of waiting while I have them sent to me. Anyway, keep up the great videos. I learn a lot from them, and enjoy them greatly….Thank you.

@@VintageWatchServices It’s all good Stian, stuff happens, especially when manipulating tiny watch parts. It’s what makes the hobby so challenging and cool. No matter how well we prepare, a sneeze, a cough, or somebody asking a question at just that right moment can set us back weeks while we wait for a replacement part. Luckily I’ll have the replacement hands it a few days.

Yep, the first Tourbillon watch service ive seen on KZfaq! Nice job! You can definitely see why the quality ones cost so much, and even though to the average person this watch would look amazing, to someone who deals with expensive watches you can definitely notice the lower quality of this watch, its still good, just not up there with the 100 grand + versions! Anyways great video!

Stian! Been worried about your absence😢 Thought that maybe you'd been kidnapped by North Korean agents, and shipped in a crate to PyongYang, there to service, under pain of death, the watches of that dastardly regime. Well, that seemed the most logical explanation, to me at least. Imagine my relief when I learnt you'd merely been on your jolly holidays😊

Glad to see you back up and ticking, Stian! Breguet numerals are also another nice legacy of A.L.B.! On the note of Frankenwatches, I’ve had to sharpen my eyes with vintage Seikos due to the volume of “mods” out there. I got suckered with one about a year ago and it really bummed me out. Thankfully my watchmaker was able to restore closer to original.

Thank you for explaining your view on replace versus re-use the mainspring. I am newer and more hobbyist currently and have seen both claims by various channels, most re-use for the history which seems incorrect, but your explanation on lower amplitude to improve longevity over time of the parts really helps.

I bought a brand new "Submariner" Rolex back in the mid-60s for diving. Years later the stem was in need of replacement so I took it to what thought was a reputable jeweler. I got the watch back weeks later, but upon checking it closely later, I found the second hand was not "sweeping" as it should if it was a genuine Rolex; instead it was jumping as a fake digital Rolex does. I'm contain either the jeweler, or whomever they sent it to exchanged the genuine Rolex action for a cheap knock-off digital!! I still have the box, the emblems, and the guarantee with the watch serial number, so I may yet see if I can trace where the real watch action went!!

That sounds bad but they didn't necessarily change the movement, that would be downright fraud. There is a little friction spring in these movements that makes the seconds hand move smoothly, and if this spring isn't secured properly, the hand will stutter and move in larger increments. Perhaps that's what happened? You should have the watch checked at your local watchmaker asap to make sure!

Ich habe in meinem ganzem Leben noch niemals von einem chinesischem Qualitätsprodukt gehört? Das muss da doch erst mal noch gebaut werden! 10 Sek. Unterschied am Tag? Da ist ja meine Timex noch genauer.
