Having recently started repairing watches I can 100% agree with the idea that the first high quality tool you need is a case knife/opener. Cheap case knives are not only miserable but often don't work and mostly end up damaging things. You can get by with cheap everything else at first. I've worked on so many different mechanical systems, both professionally and personally and always follow the same approach, buy the cheapest tools you can at first, but when you replace them buy the best. Its amazing how well cheap tools work and how long they last most of the time. Tweezers were the second item I upgraded. Especially with the ultra fine tweezers there is just a huge difference in steel quality and the shape and angle of the tips. Either way, thanks for the level-headed approach and encouragement. I still am sort of in a place of being intimidated by watches and the tools that go with them. Most other videos like this lay out hundreds of dollars in tools and say thats what you need to get started. So its nice to hear a contrary opinion on that front and know I'm not needlessly beating my head against the wall here.
My husband taught himself, then went to school and knew more than the teacher but he had to get certified. He bought thousands and thousands of tools, had a very prosperous word of mouth business going these past few years, jewelry stores and pawn shops were using him and he worked here from home. My husband suffered a heart attack and passed away only 17 mths ago and I have everything for sale, from his work benches, sconic cleaners, batteries, crystals, main springs, screw drivers, presses, books, etc... nothing cheap. Mostly old, he specialized in vintage watch repair but had several high end clients as well. He started with cheaper, but quickly upgraded as business began to pour in. If you guys know of anyone looking for a turn key start up, please email me at cdfalls@yahoo.com I'm located in Pensacola Fl. area. I'm not absolutely positive of the price for it all, but am thinking along the lines of 20k. Thank you so much.
Continue the great work. I first saw this type of work on sixty- minutes..no pudnt (p-sp) intended. I'll send it to my friends back in Cabo Verde, West Africa and around the world. God alone knows where this social media has taken me. ( Laughter) thank you.
I think if you are going to get into watch repair, you have to have a desire to research and learn. As you research, you will find other tools and names of them.
The most sensible video any one thnking about watch repair could view! I have the same loupe and its my favorite ten years down the line. I think iv bought ten or eleven loupe's and I still prefer the way the cheapest one feels. Many thanks
I was looking for a good watch repair video and this is a good starting point. I work on my own computers so I do have most of these hand tools including a ultrasonic cleaner. All I want to do is learn how to fix my own watches. I still have the chronograph watch that I wore in High School ( 50years ago) that I want to revive. I also bought a 200 piece watch repair kit, so I am ready to start. Needless to say I subscribed.
Hello Sir I'm just starting out my journey of watch repair and this video really help me out alot. Keep up the good work you now have a new subscriber. Thanks
This past month i've been tinkering with the idea of buying a cheap movement and some tools to learn more and appreciate the craftsmanship of what goes on behind the hands and dial. If i'm putting together a list of necessities to just play around and practice, do you think a loupe would be on that list? Thanks for the video.
+Jack that's great that your going to give the surgery part of watch collecting a chance, get yourself a loupe with a head band and don't spend to much on tools you'll get them once you get more in to repairing. 😊
@@todorelojconfernando Would you say it's a hobby that costs more that you get back (money wise)? I love watches and would love to start tinkering with them and I don't care about making a profit. But I would also not want to sink a bunch of money into a hobby right now since I'm a student.
First visit to this channel. I will subscribe. I’ve been buying watches for ten years with intent on learning some basic repairs. I will be using your guidance and information. Thank you Sir
I only use brass and bronze tweezers. Nothing else. Seem to do fine. I have a rotating base and screwdrivers that we're $60 and I dress them. I have also bought two individual Bergeon. Also the $10 demag works just fine.
Good day sir, i hoop you are doing well. I have a question. Does the PDF ref. Contain all the stuf that you need to start to repair or mantain watches?

Hey Fernando, should I get the cheapest Chinese model No 1000 timegrapher? I would like to start learning servicing watches, what resources do you recommend? (I am in Europe, not the US). Thank you!
Collecting Vintage Watches bingo brother that's the machine I use is a Ace Timer 1000 and I swear by the thing. They are inexpensive, and very affordable. If the mic goes bad you can get another one, but for the money you would be just as well off to get another timegrapher. You always have a great way of saying things Fernando. Great video and that's a good start of tools and useful things to have. I would have only added pegwood, pithwood ,and rodico and one dip for doing a balance and the palate jewels most solutions will eat away or outright melt shellac. L&R 111 and #3 are great cleaners I use them myself to a great effect. I mixed my own cleaner for a good while and did ok, but Zenith and L&R cleaners are muuuuuuuuch better.
IF YOU WANT TO SERVICE WATCHES TAKE A COURSE, DONT START PLYING IMBECILE,,, THERE IS A LOT OF THIONG IN A WATHC, AND ITS EASY TO DESTROY THEM, ITS FINE MEHACNICS...
Thanks for your valuable advice. I have been looking for some tools. Have been asking advice. And the advice tends to be get the best money can buy. But honestly, I don't believe in that. There must be some reasoning behind other than just belief that the most expencive is the only that is worth of buying. Now, you gave nice reasonign where to save some money and where not. Thanks.
Hey. Are you still there? I am late getting here. I have many questions. I ordered one of those beginner watch repair kits from Amazon. There is still many things I need. As far as the cleaning solution goes. Does that need to be ordered online? I live in Panama so its going to be very difficult to get what I need to get started.
Jumped the gun and started working on a watch with small magnetized screwdrivers bits (was not aware they were magnetized at the time) will a simple cheap demagnetizer on the screws do the trick?
The parts glossary is actually still available on that website, and it's free. Just downloaded the pdf file, very interesting. Thanks for the tip. What analogue-digital watch is that there on the left edge of the picture at 07:16? Looks nice.
Very good informative video. I am very tempted to buy a vintage omega triple calendar moon phase watch or a vintage JLC. I want to know the difference between ref 2471-1 and 2471-3. Also i want to know your choice between vintage JLC triple calendar & Omega triple calendar watch. Thanks.

I don't know if you've found a place yet, but I am very interested in learning the art of Watch repair, and have seen MANY of Mark Lovick's videos.

Here's the link. www.watchrepairlessons.com/watch-repair-online-video-course/ I believe the price is in U.S. Dollars, but I'm not 100% sure about that, as he is from the U.K.
I just want to start learning this. I am in Ghana and it's almost impossible to get anyone that repair these mechanical watches around here also no idea how to get the parts needed. Is it possible for you to assist or point me to the direction where I can order the basic tools a beginner needs to start with?
i have an older oris mechanical not an automatic that seems like it wants to go i had the back off and gave it a shake and the balance wheel went really fast for a second or 2 then almost stopped but seemed like it was pushing itself to move another click and then again then slower almost stopped and fought its way to click one last time then tried again but stopped, does this sound like its just gummed up or no oil or what?
there is no limit really. i think it takes 5 or 6 years at horology college/school to get a proper recognized qualification. which leads to being offered good money. after that its all about talent
I need a hobby that isn't me wasting time Infront of a screen maybe I can look into tinkering with watches, I've always been slightly envious of people who know there way around mechanical things and can fix them.
The first thing I need is steady hands. Gotta work on that. Good video tho... Thank you.. ( You're going to slip a lot..". Hmmm....I see blood in my future.)
I’m 45 love watches and would like to learn how to fix automatic and mechanical pieces. I know I’m late , I know this will take years but what would be the first video I should watch to learn?

I SUGGEST YOU OPEN IT AN GET A GOOD KNIFE BUTTER AND START THE WORK. NEVER LIKED ROLEXES, HOPE ITS A NEW ONE, CAUSE OLD ONES ARE A PITY TO DESTROY, LOVE VINTAGES,
+Xaviera Yayaell lol the names are super difficult 1: screw driver 2:. Caseback opener 3: knife 4: tweezers Its self explanatory I don't need to say the exact name of everything
In the beginning you say "You need one of these" without telling the name of it. You can get them for about $3 on ebay. I have no idea what it is called to find it on ebay.
I really don't use Instagram that much, more than to look at others watch pictures. I just sent you a follow request and you will see my name there is similar to this one. If you would like to follow me on Insta, just send me a request when you have added me and I will add you as well. Cheers! :-)
Shitty tweezers are one of the biggest pains in the ass EVER! Is a pair of precision tweezers worth $40 for one pair? YES! Each arm of the tweezer needs to be perfectly balanced with the other arm, otherwise your tweezers wind up shooting small parts all over your work bench. I made the mistake of trying to use cheap tweezers. Losing the hand spring from an old French 18th century pistol can cost me $48,000, so that $40 pair of tweezers just paid for itself. It just paid for itself 1200x over! Get at least a couple pair of quality tweezers. Pakistan does NOT make quality tweezers. One pair in 5 or 6 will be good enough, but the other 4 or 5 are junk!
A S I totally disagree if your in to watches you should learn to work even a little on watches besides the point if you pay for that watch you can do what ever you want to it, thank you for the spelling correction 😁

@@lordofbees9067 Dude get fucked and stop telling people what they can do with ((their)) property. How do you think the first watch makers learned? Trial and error. Scientific method and an engineering mindset. Like all skills, it can be learned with books and practice. Some may be better than others. I'm sure people with a higher IQ has self "Mastered watch making" to some degree. Knowing all if not most aspects including machining their own parts.

Are the solutions mixed or used at different stages? Thanks for all the tips, this was very helpful!!
i have an older oris mechanical not an automatic that seems like it wants to go i had the back off and gave it a shake and the balance wheel went really fast for a second or 2 then almost stopped but seemed like it was pushing itself to move another click and then again then slower almost stopped and fought its way to click one last time then tried again but stopped, does this sound like its just gummed up or no oil or what?
how much does a watch maker earns
there is no limit really.
i think it takes 5 or 6 years at horology college/school to get a proper recognized qualification. which leads to being offered good money. after that its all about talent
Thank you is very important 👍👍
Can can anyone help me with the website to download pdf Book please
I need a hobby that isn't me wasting time Infront of a screen maybe I can look into tinkering with watches, I've always been slightly envious of people who know there way around mechanical things and can fix them.
The first thing I need is steady hands. Gotta work on that. Good video tho... Thank you.. ( You're going to slip a lot..". Hmmm....I see blood in my future.)
I’m 45 love watches and would like to learn how to fix automatic and mechanical pieces. I know I’m late , I know this will take years but what would be the first video I should watch to learn?
Just crack on
It's never too late to learn a new skill.
Where you live
Why do you feel that it's necessary to purchase the most expensive inanimate metal wedge that money can buy?
I have a Rolex I need to open but don’t have the funds to send it off. What do you suggest ?
Crazy n' foogazy sell it
SOME SHITTARS ARE NOT WATCHMAKERS, INSTEAD OF MAKING A COURSE THEY DESTROY WATCHES, THEY WILL NEVER SERVICE A WATCH THOSE KIDS, ARE IN MASS PRESENCE IN FORUMS, ALWAYS MAKING STUPID QUESTIONS.
"I SERVICED THE WACTH BUT NOW I SEE A PROBLEM..." --GO FUK YOURSELF YOU DIDNT SERVICED ANYHTING YOUR MAKING SHIT AND SELLING WATCHES THAT ARE BROKEN WITH SOMEKIND OF DAMAGE. THEY ARE TRASH AND THEY WORTH 3 DIMS..DONT SCAM PEOPLE,
99€ OF WATCHES I RECEIVE HERE ARE JUTS ALL FUCKED UP BECAUSE N IDIOTIC CURIOUS GUY THINK WATCHES ARE FUNNY....
ARE YOU A MECHNIC, ? LEAVE WATCHES FOR MECHANICS...
IF YOU WANN BE A WATCHMAKER, TAKE A COURSE.. AND START IN A SHOP... OTHERWISE LEAVE IT
IN SOME YEARS THERE WILL BE NO VINTAGES, CAUSE IDIOTS JUST DESTROYED IT, AND PARTS WILL MISS.
IF YOU DONT HAVE MONEY DONT BUY VINTAGES TO DESTROY--- STOP BEING A KID, AND SELLING TRASH IN E-BAY.
IF YOU LIKE WATCHES BUY THEM -BUT MAKE THEM SERVICE IN A PROFESSIONAL, DONT DESTROY THEM, STOP BEING AN IMBECILE AND SCAMMING OTHERS.
I SUGGEST YOU OPEN IT AN GET A GOOD KNIFE BUTTER AND START THE WORK.
NEVER LIKED ROLEXES, HOPE ITS A NEW ONE, CAUSE OLD ONES ARE A PITY TO DESTROY, LOVE VINTAGES,
It's a Fake!
Ball works great
I wish you would have talked about the movement holders, otherwise good information here. Thank you.
I know all basic I just want to learn how to fix parts🥺🥺
Yeah great help what with you not telling us what any of these things are called in order to buy them.
+Xaviera Yayaell lol the names are super difficult
1: screw driver
2:. Caseback opener
3: knife
4: tweezers
Its self explanatory I don't need to say the exact name of everything
Yea cmon dude are you just sitting threw the video waiting on your chance to talk instead of paying attention to the man.
In the beginning you say "You need one of these" without telling the name of it. You can get them for about $3 on ebay. I have no idea what it is called to find it on ebay.
a watchmaker loupe, or the case knife?
The loupe. Thanks.
I leave a link to my Instagram account... So where is the link? ;-)
+jhm smart tv @fernado7h
Thx!
Didn't work... until i put an N in FernaNdo. ;-)
+jhm smart tv what's your Instagram handle I'll follow you mine is @fernado7h you can also copy and paste from my dio, thank you so much
I really don't use Instagram that much, more than to look at others watch pictures. I just sent you a follow request and you will see my name there is similar to this one. If you would like to follow me on Insta, just send me a request when you have added me and I will add you as well. Cheers! :-)
There is caurse of studying abouth watch
Shitty tweezers are one of the biggest pains in the ass EVER! Is a pair of precision tweezers worth $40 for one pair? YES! Each arm of the tweezer needs to be perfectly balanced with the other arm, otherwise your tweezers wind up shooting small parts all over your work bench. I made the mistake of trying to use cheap tweezers. Losing the hand spring from an old French 18th century pistol can cost me $48,000, so that $40 pair of tweezers just paid for itself. It just paid for itself 1200x over! Get at least a couple pair of quality tweezers. Pakistan does NOT make quality tweezers. One pair in 5 or 6 will be good enough, but the other 4 or 5 are junk!
Two points: 1 watch enthusiasts should not be working on watches. 1 tools* not tool's
A S I totally disagree if your in to watches you should learn to work even a little on watches besides the point if you pay for that watch you can do what ever you want to it, thank you for the spelling correction 😁
Lol. Even cheap watches? That's like saying a car enthusiast should not be working on his own car? How do you think people learn?
@@Crazywaffle5150 THEY LEARN MAKING A COURSE, BEING WITH MASTERS AND PROFESSIONALS AND THEN MAKING BUT WITH PROFESSIONALS NEARBY TO CHECK THE WORK, UNTIL THE DAY YOUR BY YOUR OWN. YO ARE NOT AN IMBECILE , ARE YOU,????

@@lordofbees9067 Dude get fucked and stop telling people what they can do with ((their)) property. How do you think the first watch makers learned? Trial and error. Scientific method and an engineering mindset. Like all skills, it can be learned with books and practice. Some may be better than others. I'm sure people with a higher IQ has self "Mastered watch making" to some degree. Knowing all if not most aspects including machining their own parts.
