Nice job! I just overhauled the same watch (movement, hands, and dial.. but slightly different case). Those 1080s are great runners. Since you're just getting started (I've been doing the watch hobby around 25 years), hope you don't mind a comment. Anytime I service a watch with burn marks on the dial (mine were similar to yours), I take the opportunity to re-lume the hands. Oh, and I also always de-magnetize the movement. Keep up the good work!
I have the same exact watch that belonged to my wifes father or uncle. It runs but loses about 10 minutes a day, so it needs a service. Do you have a business for this? I'm in the NYC area.
I just started looking at watch repair videos hoping to learn something. The first thing that I learned is that I will not be trying to repair my broken watches. I have 4 that I want fixed, two say they are Rolex but the guy I got them from said they are fakes but one is still worth $600. I don't know if that's true... The other two are a Timex and a Casio. What will it cost? Will I be able to get an estimate without spending a lot of money? Good video, hope your channel catches on and grows. Best wishes young man. Edit: any chance you're in northern California?
Unfortunately I'm on the east coast! It shouldn't be too hard to find someone that does watch repairs near you, and they should be able to quote you for a standard clean/service upfront.
Great work and video. ...ask 3 watch makers about correct lubrication get 9 different options...Regarding the pallet pivot question, as you say the common modern position is not. But at least some Seiko movements have oiling on their charts. And when it comes to older watches the accepted practice at the time was to lightly oil the pivots. I don't oil modern movements, but for older movements I give a nod to the old masters and the what they did when the watches were made and do oil.

Amazing performance! Thanks! Great work!
