This Omega Watch Nearly Defeated Me-But I Learned Something Valuable
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 6 фев 2025
- This Omega watch traveled all the way from Australia, and at first glance, it seemed like a straightforward repair. But as I dug deeper, I realized something wasn’t right. It wasn’t running at its absolute best, and finding the fault turned into a serious challenge.
What followed was a deep dive into troubleshooting, a test of patience, and a lesson I won’t forget. This repair forced me to re-evaluate my entire inspection and diagnosis process-reminding me that sometimes, the smallest details make the biggest difference.
Join me as I uncover the hidden issue, work through the frustrations, and (hopefully) bring this Omega back to top performance. If you enjoy watch restorations, problem-solving, and the occasional hard lesson learned, this one's for you!

Enjoy the love of the craft you demonstrate in your videos, beautiful work.
Thanks so much.
Fantastic magnification shots.
Fantastic.
Your watchmaking just took a step to the next level.
Very enjoyable and inspiring to watch Adam.

Perfect strap for the watch.
I wonderful demonstration. Just enough verbal explanation at the right time. Keep the screw in.
Welcome back Adam
Another great job, such a beautiful watch ⌚️
Welcome back!
Thank you.
Un bonito reloj, y un servicio extraordinario. Me encanta también lo bien grabado que esta hecho éste vídeo con buenas imágenes.
Muchas felicidades, y estaré atento al siguiente tutorial. Un saludo desde España.
Thank you.
Oh, that watch came out just beautiful! What a superb job!! The strap is sensational. With the service and cleaning, and a beautiful strap, you get that man priceless watch after it was serviced. The dial knocked me out! Thanks for the video.
Just a beautiful watch and another great video. The camera dark is exceptional and your narration is light, humorous and informative. It was well worth the wait. Thanks!!
Thank you, I appreciate it!
I love the omega 550 series of movements
That is a beautiful watch, great work once again Adam.
Love to watch your videos. I have a 1950 seamaster from my father in law. Loved seeing this video. You are very talented for sure!!
Haha. Awesome. I had a gut feeling this was going to be an Omega, but I fully expected a Constellation.
Ok, let’s watch this beauty come to life.
Just found your channel and what a treat, your attention to detail is superb, this Omega watch is stunning and very classy, I’ve liked and subscribe today and look forward to watching many more of your videos, I have to say I’ve watched many other watch service/ repair people but you go the extra mile, your filming and narration is just the best, very well done, a joy to watch.
Thank you very much.
Terrific job here. I have this same watch. I got it years ago as part of an estate liquidation. The original dial and crystal were trashed. The crown and stem were missing. It is together and running with new parts, although it is not the correct dial and crown.
Thanks for numerous details. That's the most valuable thing that allows me to learn something new.
Fantastic all round, informative all the way, great story from down under🇦🇺Q
Thanks for watching.
It looks splendid. I want one.
It’s here!
Hi Adam, what a beautiful vintage Omega. Fantastic job! I love your attention to details. Thank you for another enjoyable video and have a Happy New Year!
Fantastic job Adam, watch looks great. Love to get one of those Pie Pan Omegas someday. Thanks for the show and tell.
fabulous work, loved watching this, thanks
Super job😮😊! Now parts of that service certainly took some dedication “above and beyond” and I loved all the detail!
The dial on that watch is stunning, really gorgeous.
I agree. It's a great dial.
Fantastic video Adam! This is a beautiful omega. I have just started on an early 1970s Omega, and your video has inspired me to elevate my inspection and QA skills. I appreciate your detailed explanation of every step and the great supporting video images. Kudos! 😁👍🏼
Thank you Mike. This watch certainly forced me to improve my inspection process. I look forward to watching your Omega rebuild.
Good work my friend!
I appreciate it.
Another great video and watch, thank you mate
Another great video, Adam. Beautiful Omega watch. Thank you
Glad you enjoyed it.
Wow! That watch is just as beautiful inside as it is outside! Absolutely stunning timepiece. Well done Adam. Thanks for another great video!
Thank you very much.
Cool to see you break out ur K&D staking set. I got a killer deal on the same one last week at my local watch show. Got her all prettied up! Cheers!
That’s a good score.
These curved brass tweezers look great, what brand/model are they? Great job on the video dude!
Wow, I have a very similar watch.
... hi there, great work as always ... a suggestion if I may ... instead of dropping a large blob of thread locker on the paper and wasting most of it, why not dip the thread into the nozzle instead ?
Simply for the camera. That's generally how I do it when not filming, but I thought the view was better for a the video by putting a small dot of it on paper. It is very zoomed in on the camera shot, and there isn't really all that much on the paper. I could do probably 100 stems from a $5 tube of thread locker.
@@WeekendWatchRepair ... thanks for the response, it all makes sense ...
Great job. Where did you bought the parts? And how did you source them?
watches gonna watch
Indeed they do.
This oughta be good! 😁
How dare youtube kept this video from me for 5 minutes 😤
Haha
just did one like this the omega from my dad
Woohoo!!!
You should not use steel when prying bridges, it leaves marks. Try to use brass tweezers or a brass made prying tool
Does anyone know where to get spare parts for this kind of movements? I have a 751 and I need a calendar disc and the axle for the rotor
fly - flew - flown. Not "flied".
That among many other mistakes in the voice work. Not my strong suit.
@@mfs5493 Really…you watched the knowledge, skill, wisdom and attention to detail that went into this repair…then the effort and hours to produce the video at no cost to you…and that’s your input!? Time for a bit of self reflection mate. There’s a beautiful world out there if you want to find it.
@@AlecMacarthurThank you. That was much more nicely put than I was thinking.
What do the jewels do?
they do two things, they minimise wear to the pivot holes as the jewel is harder than the steel pivots, and because they are so smooth they minimise friction
