Excellent job, helped me fix the date and crown of my Constellation!! thank you
My pleasure
Great video and commentary. I've got a 168.018 Omega Constellation with the 564 cal dating from 1969 and I believe it is one of the best movements from a 'Golden Era' and as you say beautiful to look at. I'm particularly impressed with the date change at 12:01. Chapeau👏
It is a nice mouvement indeed.
Excellent tutorial,thanks
Excellent work! Thank you for sharing your knowledge on service of this great movement!
Thanks to you for your support
17:23 like on other videos, the fact that the part flew away is because the spring was under tension, remove the tension first then the spring and the part. This should be a golden rule.
True that this is a golden rule but it is when you take some confidence and you want to cut some corners that it happen
The reason you're amplitude was a bit low after such an extensive (and well filmed service?) Probably because I noticed your time graph was on default 52 degrees , all omega 500 series calibre are a 49 degrees lift angle, not having this info imported manually will give an incorrect amplitude reading. Thankfully there is a great long list of lift angles available, just Google lift angles. Great video many thanks
Thank you for the info
I’m guessing this is one of your earlier videos… very interesting to watch how you demeanor has changed
Yes it is ab earlier video
Can u show how to put the bal jewel spring back in mainplate when it comes out of mainplate!! It’s a devil to get bk in
Magnífico trabajo. Me gustaría seguir aprendiendo con tus vídeos, pero lamentablemente, no sé hablar en inglés. Si añadieras una traducción subtitulada en español, sería estupendo para mí y para todos los que no podemos entender lo que vas explicando. Muchas gracias.
Excellent.
Thank you
Sorry my frind but the angle 52 degrees is worng your aplitude is quite low about 220-180 becouse the correct angle for that specific mouvement is 49 degrees so i dont want to be rude but this is only horologery . thanks
Best Regards
Toujours aussi plaisant de voir qu’une nouvelle vidéo est sortie superbe travail j’adore bravo
Merci
Thanks for the video! I have Constellation C-shape with grey linen dial with brick bracelet 168.017 from 1969 that stops running after a couple of hours (even when wearing). When I open it up the rotor wiggles a lot even though the plate and screw that keep the rotor in place are firmly attached. What can cause a wiggly/loose roto? Could an axle have broken?
Something can be broken with the rotor but you need to wind your watch manually by turning the crown 40 times at least. If the watch stop just for two hours the rotor is not the reason.
I’ve just serviced a similar watch! But not to this extent. Great video! I hope to be as good as you some day
I just started less than 6 month ago so I am pretty sure you can get a good result very quickly. Me I hope than my channel will be as popular as yours 😉
Great content. Thanks for share!
My pleasure!
See, I told you o Tuesday it was an Omega 🙂
Nice job overall, these older Omegas are truly beautiful! Need to pay a little more attention to springs popping
I always get too confident with these springs
I am very new to watch collecting but would love to be able to service my own in the future. I have gone for mostly Russian watches as they are very affordable and fun to collect. I also have a Swiss Emperor from my Father and a Citizen Eco Drive. That is a lovely watch and enjoyed your video. Thanks for sharing it .
You should try because the watch that you service yourself are even more special. It is an expensive hobby but if you need any advise please don’t hesitate to contact me
Cool! Suppose I want my watch serviced, how could I get hold of you? Where could I send it?
You can send me website in the video description. You can contact me there
Excellent channel
Thank you. I will keep posting more videos so stay tuned.
Amazing video! Can you please add some information about the oil and the grease that you use?
Hello Michael, I talked a bit more in other videos about the oils. I have as well the type of oils that I use in the description of the newer videos.
Tengo uno d esos buen rstado es d coleccion vendo saludos
Great video, thank you for the good information and great video quality. Could you please tell me where did you buyed the new mainspring?
I buy the parts on cousin uk
I think what you could do to improve is a demagnetization before doing the timing.
But you did a great job anyway.
I always do a demagnetization on my Elma before putting a watch on a timegrapher. I just don’t film this part but I will do next time.
Hi, I have the same watch, but currently it has water condensation. So what I did, I just re-lubed the back gasket. And checked the crown if it has a gasket. It doesn't. So I bought a o-ring gasket for this. My question is, have you checked this watch for waterproof? And do you know if the watch that you serviced has a rubber gasket in it?
I don't do a water leak test on this kind of vintage watches. I repalced all the o-ring included the one in the crown
@@FrenchWatchCollector ahh I see! I was hoping to see you have it in the video where you replaced the crown gasket. By the way, I don't see any gasket in my crown. So I believe that's the culprit of where the water seeps in. Also, I've relubed my back gasket, and tried splashing some running water to imitate rain water. But not too long, just for a few seconds. So far, I don't see any condensation yet. But yea, I believe the oring in the crown would really help. Thanks for replying!
Hello, I wanted to ask if it has a second hand stop?
No it doesn't have a hack for the second hand
Like you, I group parts together during disassembly of the subassemblies of the watch. The problem comes during cleaning, when all the parts are loaded into a smaller number of wire baskets. This often leads to confusion among the screws, some of which are dangerously similar to others. Do you have a method for keeping the parts separated during cleaning, other than running the cleaning process separately for each subassembly? As an aside, your videos are excellent and inspiring!
Thanks for you nice comment. For the small parts I put them in different compartments of the cleaning basket. Like this I keep them as a group. The video as well help to remember where the parts go if I need to look at it during the assembly. I you have a watch with a lot of different screws (like my video on the chrono speedmaster mark III) you can can put back the screws on the movement during disassembly. You are sure that the screw will stay at the right place. Hope this help
@@FrenchWatchCollector Very helpful! Merci beaucoup!
Is this the original strap? Thanks
The buckle yes but the strap I am not sure
Hey I have seamater 564 but it needs restoration.... how much can you pay for ot
You can contact me on my website with the link in the latest video
@@FrenchWatchCollector alright 👍
@@FrenchWatchCollector couldn't find the site.... could you give an email
Really enjoy your videos. To repair the side shake on mainspring barrels look at the RUclips video from ChronoGlide
I already saw the hammer time video. I just need the equipment.
AHHhhhh
Please turn your gain up on your mic. We can hear all your lip and tongue noises
I will do
@@FrenchWatchCollector love your content man
@@TheGeorgianGuy thank you

On peut toujours faire mieux 😉
I love the grounded reality of this channel.. TA is all well and good but I find it truly baffling that all major crypto youtubers just look at pure TA and completely ignore the bigger narrative of why BTC is pumping and why the future outlook might not be as rosy as it seems. It's kinda irresponsible to ignore the fact that each ETF launch so far has caused a major dump at the peaks of BTC. We were already on shaky footing with historically low volume and almost pure whale pumps, narrowly avoiding a long-term bear market. This is the worst possible time in history to invest as so many don't back up their crypto assets. More emphasis should be put into day trading as it is less affected by the unpredictable nature of the market.I have made over 10.8btc 4rm day tradng with Kristina Mcfadyen, insights and signals in less than 4weeks, this is one of the best medium to backup your assets incase it goes bearish.

Lately I've been searching RUclips for a professional trader to guide me and give me accurate trading signals. I will contact her, thanks
