    I like watching all of the timepiece repairs and restoration give more information about all of the old watches movement 😂❤

    I just wanted to take a moment to say how amazing your video was! I was really impressed with the quality of the footage, the editing, and the overall presentation. You did a great job of explaining the topic in a clear and concise way, and I learned a lot from watching your video.
    I also really appreciated the way you made the video engaging and entertaining. You kept my attention throughout the entire video, and I never felt bored or lost. I would definitely recommend your video to anyone who is interested in learning more about the video.

    Beautiful Chronograph and superb work as usual. You can tell it’s a Valjoux 21/22/71/72 series without taking the movement out of the watch case! Just look at the spacing on the pushers to the crown. The four 0-clock pusher is always farther from the crown than the 2 o-clock pusher. Except for WWII Hanharts which are really extreme on the pusher to crown distance.
    The column wheel chronographs just feel that much smoother versus the cam system. Real difference between the 321 versus the 861 Omegas with the former feeling like butter.
    Nicolet is a very underrated company. The early movements are always decorated and chamfered. Later they became standard, unadorned ebauches. This is typically a 17 jewel movement but Nicolet adds an extra jewel to it. The perlage and stripes are gorgeous.
    Merci beaucoup for another great video! Geoff.

    Another lovely looking watch and the movement was stunning, especially for a watch 80 years old.

    I enjoyed this, so I will subscribe. I watch a couple of horology channels but I have zero interest in repairing watches. I literally have no desire to do any of this. In fact, I don't even know what you're doing nor do I have a detailed understanding of how a watch works. (I'm slowly learning that bit.) I just enjoy watching people fix watches.
    I do have a partial watch collection. At one point, I handed down my watch collection - all but a few of my favorite pieces. I've since purchased more watches. I'm a Citizen fan, but Omega make nice watches.

    Fantastic movement! Why would anyone want to hide that u Der a solid caseback? I know, it's an old watch and not done then, but damn...

    • @FrenchWatchCollector
      @FrenchWatchCollector  Год назад

      Yes it is a shame but yes before see through caseback was not a thing

    Hello, thank you for sharing this restoration. It's always a pleasure to follow you. Just one question, what type of paper do you use to deposit and dry the parts after the epilame?

    • @FrenchWatchCollector
      @FrenchWatchCollector  Год назад

      I use this one www.watch-tools.de/tools/cleaning-testing/watch-paper-bullonge-cleano-4-for-watchmaker.php

    FWC, may I ask, what kind of tweezers are you using when handling those tiny balance jewels?. They look like very nice ones. Very fine ends. Are they Horotec?. Bergeon?.

    I believe that is a Super Shock Resist shock setting.

    Great video on a very beautiful movement in a spectacular watch - thank you very much. 👏👍👌! And you have stopped blabbering, which is great. There is just one thing I do not understand: why is the movement of the minute indicator of the chronograph so out of line?

    • @FrenchWatchCollector
      @FrenchWatchCollector  Год назад

      I don't know why it is so out of alignement. Maybe the previous watchmaker that moved it and did not check it properly
