    This is my private watch. During the video it adds about 120+ sec per day at the moment but I decided to finish this video anyway. Got a tip from hockeyrd99 that I missed the regulator, just made adjustments to the micro regulator but now it runs a couple of seconds +/- depending on position. So thank you for this! The beat error can be corrected with the hairspring stud holder right away also.

      @@iantelinside Hello Ian, I understand, I regulated it but it seems that beat has some error to it (so regulation didn't do any good). Unfortunately I have went through a long list of problems but haven't solved it. Next would be to have a tool to check the hairspring but that one is expensive so better to change the whole balance.

    New to your channel. Great photography work regarding the servicing of the Seamaster. My grandfather left me numerous watches (including a beautiful Seamaster from the late 50's early 60's) and since I am now retired, thought it would be cheaper and more entertaining to learn how to service them myself. I recently purchased an old L&R from the 20's or 30's and currently in the midst of restoring it (complete overhaul of motor, wiring and paint). I plan to start out on the cheaper watches first (Timex, etc.) and work my way up :-)! Cheers!!

      Hello Cliff, many thanks 😊. Wow you can be happy to have such nice watches. Your idea sounds good. I started with a Seiko 7s26 as a test watch and then started with basic vintage watches. For myself the number 1 thing to have was a microscope for checking damages and if the cleaning process was fine afterwards. This has been invaluable.

      Hi there Hockeyrd99, Yes you can use it again for very dirty parts if it doesn't matter how clean the solutions is, exactly as you say. But Im thinking of using Elma 9:1 instead, watchmaking cleaning solution, I'll see in the future. For IPA I store the old one, good to dip your pegwood/wood sticks in for the "first cleaning round" when parts are very dirty and needs to be scraped of dirt. Good question, have a good day too you!

      Yeah, it most certainly can. He either doesn't have the knowledge how to or he is lazy and doesn't care. The beat error on this Omega is adjusted by actually turning the collet where the hairspring is pinned to on the balance wheel. Rate is adjusted by simply moving the pins away from the stud. The hairspring must be perfectly centered between the pins first when the balance is at rest. He's no watchmaker.

  • @hockeyrd99
    @hockeyrd99 2 года назад +3

    Regarding regulating this watch... the regulator is all the way to slow side... but that's just the micro-regulator. If you actually push the other side where the banking pins for the hairspring are, you can move that towards the hairspring stud without moving the micro regulator. See how at 14:53 those parts are on two different levels? I made that mistake myself the when working on one of these the other day. You have plenty of room to move the banking pins towards the hairspring stud.. should slow it down good.. then put the micro regulator back in the middle so it looks pretty! lol Hope that makes sense.

    • @Watcheyes
      @Watcheyes  2 года назад

      Hello Sir, I dont quite follow. Yes the regulator was put to the slowest when I investigated it. But its some beat error so regulation is not correct method. How is it possible to move the banking pins when they are fixed to the pallet fork bridge? Everything is in level, might be camera that gives this effect, I couldnt see any problem of level atleast. Thank you for the tip.

    • @hockeyrd99
      @hockeyrd99 2 года назад +2

      @@Watcheyes Sorry for the confusion... I didn't mean the banking pins for the pallet fork (I should have said the regulator pins). I meant the part of the balance regulator that has regulator pins for the hairspring (follow the hairspring from the stud and it goes through those tiny pins). What I am trying to say is that you don't need to use that buggy whip micro regulator. I'd move that regulator back to the middle, then push the other side with the regulator pins towards the hairspring stud to slow it up. The buggy whip regulator and the part with the regulator pins move separately, so if you move the part with the regulator pins (push it with your tweezers or a tiny screw driver), it shouldn't move the micro regulator. You can always use the micro-regulator later if needed.

    If the balance wheel becomes lighter, it will oscillate faster, therefore the watch will gain time. Maybe a screw has been lost from the balance? You can find out with a truing device.

    ASMR, no talking but I'm reading even though it's a video, no voice over, NOT showing full work.... I'm gone

    Wearing automatic watch is like riding a time machine back to 1900s. Wearing such a stupid stuff like that is bad for your mental health.

    I enjoyed you video but the very large rate error is unacceptable. Why didn't you make an attempt to regulate it? The movement is not keeping time even and therefore your efforts were wasted.

      Hello Mike, yes I'm sorry for this but within this project I couldn't right now find the problem. I did demagnitize it a couple of times and regulated it, it kept going around +120 s. I'm thinking if the hairspring might have been changed lately and might not be correct length or something. Maybe I find the problem later on. Nice that you liked the video, thank you.

    Damn, I wish my Father's Omega from 1950ties was treated like this.
