Mr Magic! Question. I am trying to tune my watch, from being 3 MINUTES A DAY SLOW. I know which lever to adjust, but I think I accidently adjusted the "other lever" once. Now my watch swings between being fast and slow, depending on the time of day. Is this because I adjusted the other lever (the "bottom" lever, kinda squared off silver fork holding the brass knob). What position should this knob be in? I assume it is the tentioner for the mainspring? Should it be fully to the right (sitting at about 3 o'clock position)? Thanks!!!
If you accidentally touch the another lever means now the wheel is off balance. Yes, the time keeping can be swinging. Not depending on the time of the day but on the way you move. Different hand position affect the balance wheel differently. I made a video how to regulate a watch. ruclips.net/video/h0dPrUG5PFM/видео.html Hope this helps and don't forget to let me know the result.
Update: My SNK 805 finally tore itself apart. Boo. Bonus: I'm buying a NH36 movement, and modding the watch! I'll use the weathered, beat up shell and upgrade the internals so I can hack and hand wind. Cheaper than buying a new watch, and it makes it even better! Thanks for your channel and personal help, I will stay subbed to watch your other videos!
You tell everything in such detail ! The name of every detail, every movement! Very interesting! I own such a watch, so it was very interesting to find out the device of this mechanism! I saw a couple of plastic gears and it was a little confusing. I know that in some generally reliable Orient mechanisms there are also one or two calendar gears made of plastic and some of them fail. Do you think this 7s26 mechanism has weaknesses and what are they? And how reliable is it?
hi love your video. you have a calm and methodical approach which is great to watch and listen to, don't stop recording in English.......thankyou....Steve
Great video. I'm glad you did it in English. I have one of these Seiko 5 watches and it's great to see it taken apart. I wonder why the barrel spring was so dirty.
Thank you for your comment. I am glad you like my videos. Most of seiko, I believe, they use breaking grease, the grease applies on the barrel wall, called S-4 which is black in color. Once the grease is expired or worn out they tend to stick together forming thick grase almost like debris.
Thanks for your video. I need to regulate mine, and I figure while I am in there, I might as well mod the face. I want to blacken the noon lume dot, so I can have an index for 12 o clock in the dark. 👍
thank you. In particular camera angle (I am using phone camera and I have to place the phone real close) using hands and fingers would block almost the whole scene.
Great video. I want to order a tritium tube and glue it on the triangle. Maybe on all the hours. Way too heavy on the hands I imagine. Any advice? Is this a good idea for a mod?
@@magicofwheels there may not be enough clearance for the hands. You are correct, I'm sure. Marathon GPQ with tritium May be the new target. Thanks so much for reply.
HELLO' DO YOU HAVE SOMES VIDEOS OF SEAGULL ST 16 I WOULD LIKE TO SEE ALL, EVEN WHICH ONE ARM'S THAT FIT THAT MOVEMENTS ( AFTER MARKET)& ALL KINDS OF STYLES THANKS, RALPH' CARRIBEAN, HOOBIES WATCH MAKER...
@@magicofwheels okay thank you, it seems like removing the bezel is the hardest one, any tips on it especially without leaving a scratch. I currently want to repaint my snk809 case
The way I do is I don't pry up and down. I just push the blade straight in until it opened up. Some protection can be added, wrap the poly bag around the blade before you push it in.
ruclips.net/video/0Nolv8iCuNw/видео.html i explained how i use all my tweezers there. also i just added 2 more tweezers in my collection for hands installstion.
@@magicofwheels my country is united states 🇺🇲 seiko 5 snk805 , it's not broken yet I just here they have issues from time to time with calibration and I plan not starting my Seiko collection. 😀
Man!!!! I don't think the cost of shipping would worth it.. I think it would cost more than the cst of service. but if you are ok with that, then I am ok with that.
For not being a professional, but only a hobbiest, your video and knowledge were professional to me!
Thank you very much

Wow. Nice video, nice work, it transmit a sensation of relaxation.
¡Gracias por compartir!

Yes the next videos in English please.
Sir your hair is glorious.
Thank you. 😊
ชอบครับทำเป็นภาษาไทยเยอะๆน่ะครับ รอติดตาม ได้ความรู้เยอะเลย
จะทำเชิง ทำขั้นตอนอย่างไร และ การทำงานด้วยดีไหมครับ
You would have been an excellent teacher.
Thank you very much. I am glad my videos are educational.
¡¡ RIGHT' !!! .
Thanks for your video. I need to regulate mine, and I figure while I am in there, I might as well mod the face. I want to blacken the noon lume dot, so I can have an index for 12 o clock in the dark. 👍
Thank you. Modding is a fun project. It is a good killing time activity.

Excelent video!!!
thank you
I want to send my watch to this guy.
thank you
Thanks for your video
Thank you
You have great Style and great Equipment. Why remove the Chausses with the tweezers? Thank you.
thank you.
In particular camera angle (I am using phone camera and I have to place the phone real close) using hands and fingers would block almost the whole scene.
I dropped my watch and it no longer works, how much will it cost to get it repaired?
At 8:57 you identified one of the problems, but I'm curious how did you re seat this loose part?
Hi 👋 👋 I change the new one. The whole part wasn't expensive.
to be honest mine need to be repair so I'm interested how the process is
what's your watch model so i can give you suggestion
Great video.
I want to order a tritium tube and glue it on the triangle.
Maybe on all the hours.
Way too heavy on the hands I imagine.
Any advice? Is this a good idea for a mod?
I guess you were right, they will be too heavy on hands. on the dial, you may try but watch out for the hands gettin stuck on them.
@@magicofwheels there may not be enough clearance for the hands. You are correct, I'm sure.
Marathon GPQ with tritium May be the new target.
Thanks so much for reply.

Hi,
Thank you for your comment, I still don't have that video.
6:24 lmao What does everyone who dissassemble that part skips ahead? 😂😂😂
Oh...cannon pinion....it has to come off, clean and gives good lubricant.
Hi how you remove the bezel on that snk? I saw your part 4 of installing it back but i missed the part where you remove it
It was on part 2 around 10th min onwards.
@@magicofwheels okay thank you, it seems like removing the bezel is the hardest one, any tips on it especially without leaving a scratch. I currently want to repaint my snk809 case

Wait...before I get invested in this series, is only one video in English?
Here is the playlist of the English version.

What is the difference in your tweezers? One is yellow and one gray, why is that?
brass tweezers - for parts (brass hardly scratches steel)
steels fine tips tweezers - screws

i explained how i use all my tweezers there. also i just added 2 more tweezers in my collection for hands installstion.
Thanks! That was what I was thinking 😀
HELLO' ( ONE OF THEM " COPER & ANTI MAGNETIC 🧲)ALSO I HAVE PLASTIC { servicing movements}.
Do you do repairs? I would let you fix mine when needed.
Yes I do repaires under mutual consent:)
@@magicofwheels how would I go about sending you one to repair . No one repairs watches in my state. Definitely a dieing trade.
May I know your country of origin and what is the watch and the condition of it you want to send in?
@@magicofwheels my country is united states 🇺🇲 seiko 5 snk805 , it's not broken yet I just here they have issues from time to time with calibration and I plan not starting my Seiko collection. 😀
Man!!!! I don't think the cost of shipping would worth it.. I think it would cost more than the cst of service. but if you are ok with that, then I am ok with that.
the service of those costs more than watch itself
I will take that as a compliment
