I certainly enjoy the thoroughness and video quality. Wish I'd seen this when I first started working with the DiaFix jewels. I'd be quite a bit younger right now.
I thought the camera work was very good in this part, and the shot of the bridge at the start was particularly nice. Appreciate all of the extra effort you must have gone to to do this, thanks.
Thanks Mark - I really appreciate the feedback. The effort involved in producing these videos and the extent to which it interferes with the process renders this an unsustainable medium for documenting the projects I work on as a matter of routine. But it is undoubtedly fun and so I will probably continue to generate video content but certainly not as the primary outlet.
You can remove the cap jewels without completely removing the springs and then just clean the bridge as normal with all the other parts. The cap jewels may need an additional clean before refitting.
Yes, I miss-spoke three times! 8010 is a Seiko sub-model designation and it must have elbowed its way to the forefront of my brain as I was speaking! The oil in the oiler is indeed 9010.

Just used your technique for removing and replacing the Diafix spring and jewel and it worked like a dream!
Glad to hear it!
Great video. Thank you for posting.
I'm glad you enjoyed it. Thanks!
Fantastic video series. You made removing and replacing the DiaFix look easy and it's not!
Thank you!

Smart way to take out the cap jewels without totally removing the Diafix springs!
Great video and top quality media. I also really enjoy your blog. You are a great inspiration!
Thanks Jan. I appreciate your appreciation!
Superb ...just like your blog..!!
Thank you! Glad you are enjoying it!
The hole for the escape wheel is too small for an auto oiler right?
So what do you do about cleaning the movement? I assume you have to fully remove the setting and the spring to clean the thing?

9010 in your oiler, yes?

@@amateurwatchfettler No worries, I knew what you meant. I do it all the time.
