If, that is, IF you cut the stem JUST too short, then take some solder, cut off a TINY, and I mean TINY amount of solder and place it in the crown tube. Then screw the stem into the crown tube and test for fit. Of course the amount to add is predicated by the depth of the crown tube and how secure you can make the fit at the crown/stem interface. Saves ‘tossing’ the stem into the bin or parts store. Gorgeous dial and so 70’s. Good work and cheers, Geoff
Just subscribed to your channel; I noticed you use a vintage rewinder that is the same type I won in eBay's auction. This particular set contains 7 watch winders that I hope will meet most of my needs, "the plus" in excellent condition, great video, just getting my feet wet.
Looks fairly clean for a 1972 , no dirt or excess oiling, not any rubber gaskets? Didn’t see any lubricated ! No testing to see if on proper regulated? Do you have any 694-A movements I’m in need of a good replacement for my worn out one !
Thanks Dean. I'm more of a wrist watch guy these days and haven't worked on a pocket watch for quite awhile.....and judging by the box full of project wrist watches starring at me from across the room right now, that will continue to be the case for the foreseeable future.
Hola Jose, gracias por tu pregunta. Los relojes acuáticos suelen tener cristales ajustados a presión, ya sea de vidrio o acrílico, y no usan pegamento. El pegamento es duro y quebradizo y no funciona bien en agua.
Nice job. So the previous watch repair guy, set the date, put the wrong parts in knowing full well the date can no longer be adjusted, gave it back to the customer, and cashed the customer's check. Customer sells the watch for a fraction of what it's worth because the date doesn't work. Looks like the watch could use a re-lume on the hands, and a case polish
1.will the stem along with the crown move in the opposite direction while the watch works? 2.will the mainspring barrel will move when winding the watch and move while the watch works? Please enlighten me, Thank you in advance.
First time watcher. Excellent job. Love that dial. will be watching more. Thank you.
Good video, I clicked on this when I saw an orange Hamilton, very nice!
Awesome! Thank you! Hard to resist a Hamilton, ESPECIALLY an orange one....

That's a splendid dial. Awesome restoration!
Thank you Noah. That dial IS splendid.
Beautiful restoration...
That’s the largest balance staff wheel I ever saw in a wristwatch!
Love the color

Thanks John! Yes, sounds like we have the same winder set by Watch-Craft. So far it has met all my needs and had performed very well.

Awesome face on that watch. Interested in doing a Hamilton Railroad Watch?

Me gustaría aprender a reparar este tipo de relojes, que pegamento utilizas para pegar los vidrios de los relojes acuáticos, bendiciones amigo,

Aye Cap'n, that's exactly what I think happened with the previous 'watchmaker' as well. The previous owner's loss is my gain though....
I wish you would show the parts being cleaned and case polished.
1.will the stem along with the crown move in the opposite direction while the watch works?
2.will the mainspring barrel will move when winding the watch and move while the watch works?
Please enlighten me, Thank you in advance.
