Another lovely watch and a great job! I have bought myself a nice vintage chrono which I believe has a Landeron 248 Cal. Have you a video of this movement! Also what top tips would you give be servicing it? I’m most concerned about harming/breaking anything, the chrono adjustment screws that I don’t want to touch and how don identify them? As well as removing the wheel that turns constantly that drives the chrono, for this I think I should purchase a presto tool for 5 spokes. Any top tips to help me? Ta.
Hello, Good to start working on a chronograph. They are my favorite movement. Tips: place back the screws on the movement during disassembly just to make sure not to mix them. Don't touch the eccentric screws. Follow this document for a Landeron 48 (almost the same) watchguy.co.uk/cgi-bin/files?showfile=Landeron/Landeron%2048.pdf&filename=Landeron%2048.pdf&dir=Technical%20Manuals&action=documents Better to use a presto tool to remove the wheel correctly. I have 2 videos with landeron that are pretty similar: ruclips.net/video/HbVJmJuJF_k/видео.html ruclips.net/video/Q2bhSSozpto/видео.html
Your skills and explanations are great, and the projects are very inspiring. But what do you think about Radium paint problem? There are watchmakers who take every possible precaution, even avoid restoring watches from that epoch. Some do re-lume such watches, while some leave them as is. How dangerous it may be to deal with item like this?
hats off for you to start on this maybe complicated chronograph( complicated at least for most of us...) beautiful vintage piece, the subdial hands can be tricky as they are more to the dial then the normal hands...your knowledge is not at all limited mon ami...far from...👍 last part a bit out of focus but not a problem

As long as you don't eat it it is fine. You can find a lot of studies on this
@@FrenchWatchCollector Thanks, best luck!

Thanks for the comment. I will check for the focus
What's that tool you're using to polish the hour markers and hands?
I use a Bergeon polishing pen
Looks like you have one of the older Bergeon automatic oilers. Can you still get the parts for them?
Yes I managed to get the parts on cousin and they fit
Corrige moi si neccesaire mais je crois que ce mouvement ressemble nettement a un calibre venus 188
Cela ressemble à un venus 188 mais il y’a des différences si on le compare à une image de 188. Le principe du mouvement reste le même
The dial isn't a standard part ? There's no universal parts that would fit on any watch ?
You can put a generic dial but this is an angelus dial and I prefer to keep the original one.
That's to bad the dial can't be restore.
