wow‼️®️™️ ☑️☑️
It is a nice one
It is nice that you have a site now! Very good prices on the vintage watches :)
Thank you Tomas
Vraiment un très beau calibre JLC et cette forme est plaisante, pas Commune.
Encore une magnifique restauration avec une main de maître, des doigts de fée koï ! 😁🖐️⌚
Merci
Les calibres JLC sont toujours beaux
@@FrenchWatchCollector ça c'est sûr 😁⌚
Once again, Monsieur, chapeau!
Ah, from the moment I saw George Harrison using a Cartier Baignoire (that he bought very early with his success as a Beatle), I love the rareness of an oval/elliptical-shaped watch, such as the Baignoire, Patek Philipe Ellipse and this one. It’s an object of a strange beauty. Once again, Merci, Beaucoup...
Yes I love the unique case too. So cool
So many fun details with this movement! Little notes to the person doing the service, in the form of diagrams on top of the barrel, those arrows on the wheels, etc. Makes you understand why JLC is referred to as, "the watchmaker's watchmaker." 🤓Wonderful work as always FWC, and I'm happy to see the watches for sale too, I will have to order one from you in the future 👍
Thank you so much. Glad you liked it. I love JLC calibers
Wow, excellent restoration, superb narrative and .... a fascinating watch! Thank you, merci beaucoup. Subscribed 😊
Thank you Frederico. Glad you liked it
Your videos are always a pleasure to watch. Off to your website, no plans to buy anything short term but who knows when I will fall in love again 😂
Awesome, thank you!
Another excellent service. The initial readings on the timegrapher are a testament as to the quality of the movement. I am going to use your tip about gently nudging the movement holder in order to seat the various pivots, which is a nice little hack. Thanks again.
Cool, thanks
artistic work.... liked it very much...Thankyou
Glad you liked it
Great work 👍. Amazing that the movement was running so good, even before you serviced it.
This show the quality of jlc movements
@@FrenchWatchCollector Yes, Love JLC 🥰
What an unusual and quite different watch, the movement had a few different aspects as well. A superb and informative video, well done you for such an excellent restoration.
Many thanks!
A nice job thank you👍👍
Thank you too!
I almost snagged one of these on eBay recently. For a moment, I thought this was the one, but it's not.
This is a good one to make a video about. You are a _bon oeuf_ , FWC
It is a very nice model and very unique
Heel goed gedaan👍
👍
Videos are superb. You should ask viewers to subscribe or like the video because you put so much effort in. I think it should get a wider viewing. You seem to be the JLC guru. 😊
Thank you. It is true that I did a lot of JLC lately. I like the brand and their caliber but I am far from being a guru
Super mouvement, la qualité y est c’est top ! Belle restauration !✨👌
Merci beaucoup 😁
@@FrenchWatchCollector au plaisir !
Nice movements, yes, the click spring is not obvious. There is a restorer on line that never releases the power and lets the wheels spin until the power is released. Always a cringing moment ;-)
If you ever cut the stem too short, place a small piece (tiny) of solder into the crown threaded tube. Insert the stem, tighten and see if it fits. Repeat if necessary. The caveat is to always use a piece of solder smaller than you think you need.
cheers, Geoff
Thanks for the tip
Yeah, the Wheeeeee Moment is part of his Show. 😬
Great job! Where did you get the stem and crown? How did you know the stem would fit and that the crown would look vintage design?
The crown is a generic one from my stock and the stem I bought it on cousin uk
Hi do you have a part number for the stem on this model k883 thankyou I am stifling to find a replacement for one myself
I like to use a penetrating oil product called Kroil instead of WD40. It won't contaminate the cleaning fluid like WD40 does and works better too. In the factory (assembling new watches), they leave the stems long and shorten the last thing. They don't take out again or file or measure. Their clippers cut off flush enough to not need filing.
Thanks for the tip
ÓTIMO SERVIÇO 👍👍 🇧🇷
👍
Great video! What brand is your workbench?
There is no brand written on my workbench
Wow what an Easter egg. Hear I am expecting a small mynewt movement, one from a ladys watch or something to acomafate a modified egg shaped dial, but no, you open it up and bringo a big beautiful JLC movement and the dial is round. The wonder dosnt stop. They actually faceted the egg shape face on the round dial. This is some what mind boggling to me. Maybe it's the German in me that wants to do things complicated but this is something of an easy solution to a complicated end result. Let just make the face egg shape and let the people thing the watch is egg shape. It's a perfect illusion. I can't get over it.
So now I'm gona watch the rest of the video. I'll attach more to this comment if I have something else to say.
Wa wa wa wa wau , it's always amazing to se how complicated they are. JLC watches are in a class of there own or even Rolex can come close to them. A Rolex is easy in comparison .
Looks like that most watches are muddled after ETA but not JLC no they are spetial. I'm so surprised that they are no more expensive. These watches are ease in the leag of , no better then PhiPAt. Ect
I love JLC watches for what you said. They are very special and they have very unique features which make them never boring to work on
عمل جيد جداً ومهارة عالية
Thank you
Where did you go to watchmaking school?
I did not go to watchmaking School. I just learn myself
I have a JLC it’s not working well what is the cost for a service? From you?
It depends on the watch and the damage. You can go on my website and we can take it from there in the contact section
No rotor?
Yes there is one
@@FrenchWatchCollector I didn't see you re-
place it before you closed the case. Thanks
I wonder whether hydrogen peroxide would work as a good cleaner for certain, though perhaps not all, watch dials and day and date dial idicators?
The dial is very sensitive so not sure if it will work
@@FrenchWatchCollector Well, it's just water with another oxygen atom; and is very good a naturally bleaching and breaking down organic matter I'll. When I have the time I'll give it a bash.
@@AngusTuttle let me know how it goes
323 thumbs up
Thanks Steve
Will great if you search for the original crown it will add value
I tried to but could not find it so far. I will keep looking
Great work
Thank you
