In this video I was unsure how to use the jeweling tool to measure the Incabloc setting depth. In the video linked below Mark Lovick breifly shows how to replace a jewel at the same depth by taking a measurement with the micrometer on the jeweling tool. He doesn't go into great depth about how exactly to do it, but in retrospect I think that's because it's fairly obvious. In any case, Mark's videos are fantastic, and this one (and his Part 1 of the same) is worth watching if you're interested in this stuff: ruclips.net/video/-CmQkd_7PGs/видео.html
Yesterday I saw a video of yours, from a year ago, in which you show, I think by mistake, the home page of your company. I don't know how many of your subscribers have done it but I immediately went to see it and started researching about you, I saw a photo in which you are about 25 years old and have a Rolleiflex in your hands. Man, I'm impressed, I feel in the presence of a genius. I already knew that you are intelligent, and very organized, but knowing what you have invented, and what it has been used for, leaves me speechless. Now I understand why you are so professional and meticulous in the photography and editing of your videos, I already enjoyed your work, now I thank you for everything else you have done; I love cinema and you have enriched it greatly. As Elvis would say: Thank you, thank you very much.
Thanks for your comment, Oscar! I've found that there are lots of people in the watch world, particularly watch enthusiasts like myself, that work professionally in totally unrelated fields. This is especially true of enthusiasts with very broad interests such as myself. I assume this is because people who work professionally in the watch world at a very high level tend to focus on their niche, whether it is design, marketing, manufacturing, heritage or management (or something else). In any case, I thank you for your compliments on my accomplishments in the real world! 😂😂😂Are you a watches-first person or do you do something else professionally as well?
like a pro.. i cant wait to be able to do that too. just ordered the asian horia tool and cant wait to experiment with it. love your channel and thanks for the inspiration
Well Done. It's hard to learn the use of our tools, Jeweller, Staking set and Mainspring winders etc., from watching others on RUclips. Yes, there is guidance, but it is only the physical use that allows us to gain expertise. We have no-one sitting by us to admonish, praise, cajole or to demonstrate in situ. Like you, my learning curve is is being extended. You have more photographic facilities, and better tools. I achieve the same with my own sets, so feel quite akin to you. I appreciate you displaying your attempts, successes, failures and thoughts. For me, I note our differences and gauge our achievements side by side. I certainly benefit. Thank you. Keep it going.
Super! Thanks Ross! With every video I make I have to confront how much worse I am at this than I imagine that I am, but I like that because the truth is much more valuable to my growth than editing and self delusion.
Thanks for your comment. Yeah, what's up with that? I think it may be because the majority of jewels are made in bulk for new movements and can still be (and are) still made in any size by jewel manufacturers, of which Seitz is not. But I'm not sure. It's an interesting question and I'll try to dig deeper into this at the next EPHJ (high precision trade fair in Geneva).
I just noticed something funny about this video: at 4:42 you can see me searching for a lost part in the video playing on the screen in the background and then just a few seconds later I ping and temporarily lose track of the incabloc spring in the main video. A not insignificant part of watchmaking is constantly mitigating the risk of lost parts!
That's a good question! That is for the moment a spare movement, so I didn't really check it beyond making sure the spring was back in place and it was running.I have a project watch that I'll put that movement in eventually but not sure when. I will also clean, rebuild and lubricate that movement as part of that project.
Sorry for the late reply on this. I think that's just called a staking block. That particular one was part of a lot of vintage tools and is I'm sure quite old. I don't know why it has the round base or if it had a specific purpose other than general staking block use.
Note to self.. don’t buy incabloc pushers because you can clearly get by with an incorrect size and the correct ones don’t even look like they fit right
Dear Sir,can you give me the old tools which are of no use to you anymore? I watch and learn from most of the videos and am keen to repair more Watches... I will pay the amount for courier charges once you let me know if you could give the old tools and the charge for delivery to India. Thank you.
I don't think I have anything that would be of use to you that I don't use or won't ever use except perhaps some screwdrivers that came with various lots of old tools and therefore are duplicative - but they are very old, irregular, and would cost far more than they are worth to ship to India. Are there specific things that you're looking for?

You're the Jack Lemon of Horology. Hilarious stuff. Keep going.
At least I'm not the Don Lemon of Horology!

Nice job friend. My gripe with Seitz is that they still sell the jewelling tool to fit the jewels they no longer make
Thanks for your comment. Yeah, what's up with that? I think it may be because the majority of jewels are made in bulk for new movements and can still be (and are) still made in any size by jewel manufacturers, of which Seitz is not. But I'm not sure.

Very nice very hard work...
Yes, thanks for your comment! That was a lot of fun!
When setting the automatic bridge back on you can gently wind the crown to get the gears to mesh up to get them settled
Thanks! That makes sense! Very helpful!
great job, well done.....very interested in how the watch is running now?
That's a good question! That is for the moment a spare movement, so I didn't really check it beyond making sure the spring was back in place and it was running.I have a project watch that I'll put that movement in eventually but not sure when. I will also clean, rebuild and lubricate that movement as part of that project.
Thanks for this. Did the same thing and I needed the help.
That's great to hear! Thanks for your comment and best of luck with the watch!
Great video! What’s the holder at 34m. Seems really helpful.
Sorry for the late reply on this. I think that's just called a staking block. That particular one was part of a lot of vintage tools and is I'm sure quite old. I don't know why it has the round base or if it had a specific purpose other than general staking block use.
You're a tinkerer 😆 I'm a bit more cautious. Good Fortunes and Great Successes 🤝
Thanks! I'm too old and have too much to learn to be cautious! But I like the idea in theory! 😆😆😆
Note to self.. don’t buy incabloc pushers because you can clearly get by with an incorrect size and the correct ones don’t even look like they fit right
😂😂😂 I think that's pretty much true but I did use the wrong size as well (of course).
Such a train wreck that it's entertaining.
I know! I even forgot to put a finger cot on my right thumb! 😂😂😂
