- Hi, this 'trying to fix' video shows me attempting to repair a faulty quartz Casio watch 1330 MTP-1164.
Remember that this is just for entertainment and I am not an expert in these repairs. The processes in the video may not be the best way, the correct way or the safest way to fix these things.
I do love fault finding and trying to fix broken things so I hope that comes across in this 'Trying to FIX' series.
Many thanks, Vince.
I live in Thailand too. For many people here such an old and cheap watch is still a valuable piece, especially when it has some emotional value. Nice of you to help the guy out.
That because ppl their are poor
Thank you so much! Today I found an old watch from my childhood collecting dust. Popped in a fresh battery only to find out the hands were misaligned. With your incredibly detailed video I was able to realign them first try! And I just realized I've watched several of your videos in the past few months. I'm subscribing immediately.
I had no idea how much I would enjoy these watch repairs until you bought them into my life Vince. Now I cant get enough of them. Thanks for another great 40 mins :)
Thanks Paul, hope the silver Casio is still keeping good time :-)
@@Mymatevince It's working a charm thanks. I love it and it keeps wonderful time on both, so superb in all.
@@ZaPpaul Excellent news :-)
What a pleasure to watch a video about somebody fixing something that they really enjoy doing! Keep up the good videos mate!
Its a shame we live in a throw it away and buy a new one world, when with a bit of time, patience and skill a lot of stuff can be fixed and used for many more years.
Well done Vince for trying to fix so much stuff.
Thanks Darren :-)
Good Job- Some customers don't want the scratches removed especially if they're keeping the item for sentimental reasons. Each dent and scratch tells a story and brings about a memory.
that watch looks like it has seen some hard times. You are doing a great job repairing this specimen.....a few watches more and you will be a pro like the rest of these RUclips watch repair fellows.
Hey Vince, yes, you can coat it in various ways, you can do electrolysis and give it a coat of steel, nickel, silver, gold or any other metal you want (for steel for example you can just use an old fork :D), or else there are special solutions to coat metals, per example you have the silver nitrate which uses a chemical reaction with no need of electricity. I have used both with good results, the chemical bath is more smooth but takes a lot longer, the electrolysis is faster but the coating usually doesn't gets even and you need to sand it to get a smooth surface.
You used to be able to buy gold and silver dip in a jar which worked superbly if memory serves me right, you just dipped your item in and out a few times and then wiped it clean and no electricity at all. I have several Gateros plating kits here but the price of the gold solutions is crazy meaning I hoard the expensive dips but I am preparing a Slava AU10 case for a replating yet the watch works so well its a crime imho to take it apart. I am also going to muriatic acid a Vostok Komandirskie bezel and case for that rough bronze look.
Thanks Geniwab. It is something that I think I would like to look into for possible future repairs :-)
Vince your videos go quite well after a long day at work. 👍
Very informative video. I had no idea you could fix Quartz watches by replacing the movements. It's good to know that parts are available. I have couple of old watches I would like to bring back to life because they bring back a lot of childhood memories. Thank you so much for sharing this video.
You're a really nice guy to fix that watch! Most repair guys wouldn't even bother. Thanks for the video and happy new year!
Happy new year to you too Michael :-)
Great video. I recently bought an automatic but the seller packed an extra faulty Casio quartz 2719 in the box. That's why I found your video to learn how to do this.
Excellent video Vince, I learned quite a bit from this.👍👍
It's practically impossible to get the second hand to hit perfect everytime. Especially in these cheap movements. The gear teeth are not always perfectly spaced and\or there can be play between the teeth where they mesh so it will always be off no matter what you do. I say this with loads of experience and other watch Smith's videos. So u did very well. Great job.
Thank you Troy :-)
If you really want the perfect alignment, Buy either a grand Seiko quartz or the Citizen chronomaster(which I have).
my casio duro aligns on only a few indexes, but my edifice efr 526l chronograph hits perfectly
Actually Casio has it figured out with their Edifice line. Both my EFR, and EFB Edifice’s hit the markers perfectly. Not sure about what movements they use, but I imagine a cheap Miyota or Seiko Quartz. Pretty impressive as none of my other 20 watches hit the markers perfectly all the way around the dial and some are far more expensive than my Edifices. Such an underrated line from Casio.
I took some inspiration from your video and fixed a casio analogue watch; a simple movement swap, and fixed!
Instructive video, even though I knew most of it, I learned something again, thanks very much.
Very useful video for some fixes. I scratched down some mineral on a £5 watch to experiment with polishing away scratches and the reward is coming on another one, maybe both, as I learn more. Just to get a few interesting watches is fine with me - then we also save on each repair (in expensive shops) when we can.
Wow that was a very cheap fix fair play.
Good job as always Vince
All quartz movements stop when you pull the crown to first position. Placing the seconds hand would have been easier if it wasn't directly on top of the other hand. Here's an order of operations for hand placement. Install the hour hand pointing at 12. Then use the crown to move it down to 3 or 6. Install the minute hand pointing at 12 them move it down to 15 or 30 minutes. Then install the seconds hand pointing at 12. Thanks for all the awesome vids.
Hamish Spencer only if there is no date complication otherwise it would not change the date at 12.
@@MyRetroWatches No. If you have a date complication - once you have established the rollover point (and installed the hour hand pointing at 12 like I advised), moving the hands out of the way makes no difference except to help with the installation. Think about it.
Welcome back Vince lol. I'm joking I understand the festive season surprised you are this early
I liked watching another amateur replace a quartz movement. I have successfully replaced 6 quartz movements. I bought 5 movements for $1.oo US each, witch means the actual manufacturing cost is 4 or 5 cents at a $1.00 retail. no wonder China produces 1.3 Billion movements a year. The irony is, the 4 with the $1.00 movement work all the time and the one I paid $8 for, stops, and when reset starts working again. The one I put the more expense movement in is a 1980s Elgin that looks like new. That movement is a PC32, read from old movement. I replaced the movement in a wood BOBO Bird watch I get lots of complements for, a cheap $25 watch. The original movement was exactly the same $1.00 movement and the swap for a new working movement was easy. I left the second hand off and it improved the look of the plane, no chapter ring dial. This little trick I learned from movado who rarely use second hands and it makes the jet black faces stylish.
Yeay!! I’m watching this one!! Man I hope you have luck this time
Okay so enjoyed that one mate. You did the right thing on swapping the movement. That said for £30 on eBay you can get a cheap quartz tester. I have one. It tests a pulse on the coil and also has a magnet part that you put the watch on and switch the gadget on. It wizzes the hands around like mad. This frees them up if they were jammed. Remember you can turn with the crown but if it’s the stepping rotor or just a tiny bit of dirt it will stop.
Only cringe moment for me was your hand fitting. Using tweezers ! Metal on metal in a visible part you run the risk of scratching it or slipping onto the dial. Always use your pusher tool and as vertical as possible.
Other than that though nicely done pal.
The irony is I am half way through a very similar video I am making !!
Great minds think alike
Thanks Mike, I seen your video pop up but I haven't watched it yet. I will watch it on Tuesday :-) I did get myself one of those Quartz testers back in the summer. I should have got it out for the video to see if it would start up ticking again using the line tester thing (still don't know how it can make the hands spin so fast, thinking it is magnetic?????) BUT I would have still changed the movement out in case the old ones fails a few weeks later especially when posting to and from Thailand. It is amazing that you can buy them so cheap from a UK seller :-) I will definitely use my pushers next time for the hands. Cheers mate. Happy new year if I don't speak to you beforehand.
Also , regarding the second hand - you can hold the tip in place with Rodico while you push the centre into place ,and you can adjust it's position by pushing it laterally ( not with tweezers , use plastic or wood) near the pivot point.
But unless it is a quality movement, by the 6 it will be off again. it just looks better if you align it at 12.
Super cool Vince, you are multi talented man, impressive forom ps4 to casio watch, super cool, and very precision job! well done!
Could you of put the hour hand and minute hand on then put the battery in to let it tick a few seconds then pop the second hand on lining it up with the hour indicator? So you know the seconds haven't moved, thank you for the videos, keep them coming, I've never fixed a electronic thing in my life but I love watching your videos! And merry Christmas from the Norfolk coast 😁🇬🇧
Usually if you touch the watch crystal to your bottom lip , acrylic is warm , and glass is cold.
You probably won't have sapphire glass in these watches , as it is a lot more expensive than mineral glass.
You can polish the case and bracelet to a uniform finish using a dremel .
Keep up the good work , mate.
That offset second hand would absolutely do my basket in!
You make really interesting content on RUclips. And the earth thank💪
The format of your videos remind me family terapy stuff
hi man you have a very good point your video's are fun this is why i stopped doing fixing video's well before you came to youtube
there's a lot of gear coming to the end of it's life
Awesome video as always 👍🏻❤️
Thanks Joseph :-)
Very nice Speedmaster you have, I am not a huge fan of the traditional one but yours is an exceptionally fine watch.
Thank you. I think it might be my favourite watch. I like that it has 2 distinct colours, everything is white for the time and red for the stopwatch. It is also slightly smaller (I think 39mm) which fits my smaller wrist better, has sapphire crystal and also automatic. BUT the best thing is it is not as desirable so much cheaper than other Speedmasters :-)
@@Mymatevince Yes the fashion for overly large watches is a pain, I don't like wearing something that you have to continually worry about knocking into things and getting damaged
To adjust the second hand place it in loosely and start the clock (weakest link anyone :-D ?). Use the tweezers to 'brake' it into position. Stop the watch and carefully press it to fix.
Vince, have a look at "brush plating" - pretty much exactly what you were after.
Also an easy way to tell sapphire from mineral crystal is to put the glass to your forehead, sapphire will be much colder to the touch. Also in this case you can just look, if there’s scratches it’s mineral, if it’s clear it’s sapphire. I love the Quartz Miyota 2035, 2115, I prefer quartz, and Miyota 2000’s are really reliable, accurate, and cheap, just as good as many Swiss movements such as the Ronda 763E for less money and without unnecessary jewels. The Miyota 2035 is the most produced movement on earth, billions have been made, and it started out as a Citizen caliber. 👌🏼 It’s serviceable too, but after 20+ years it’s probably okay to just replace it for $5. Ronda quartz movements with “Swiss Parts” stamped on the movement are actually made in Thailand. Miyota is made in Japan. 🇯🇵
You found that with them hand lifters? I ground mine down but they are terribly made, I now use one of those elipitcal spring "presto" tools which whips them hands off cleanly, only a couple pounds so the quality isnt the best but they even have chrono hands off neatly which them levers with grinding couldn't do. I am going to invest in a set of Bergeon ones as very impressed with my Bergeon spring bar tool (which is also quite useful for hands)
Nice one. The second being misaligned looked to me like the markings face are not 100% . There's one time in the video where you let the hand tick around and it's sitting in the right 3 position you set it to, gets out of sync with 6 I think, but comes back to 3 and there it is at you desired position again.
Also very happy you offered to service my grandfather clock. But no worries it's only 2,30m in height and weights a couple of dozen kilo, also so old it is worth a bit. Thus should be easy, cheap and safe to ship from German to the UK an back. Would be practically no pressure on you
Haha :-) I wonder as well if the dial feet were ever so slightly bent and the whole movement was not in the dead center, if it would lead to the seconds hand being correct on one side of the dial and slightly out on the other.
**Pausing at **27:27**** Just before applying pressure with the pushing tool on the seconds hand to lock it in place, maybe you can use it (the tool) to adjust the position of the seconds hand exactly where you want to be.
Hi how are you doing have happy new year like all your vids.
Vince, you missed the hour wheel spring. I looks as if it's stuck to the old movement on the hour wheel. Just thought I'd mention it. It holds the hour wheel down under the dial.
The new movement had a shiney new one installed on it. It's quick, but if u look right when he opens the little red box, you can see it glaring shiney light. I had to go back and look after I read your comment.
Troy, I stand corrected. Good eye, better than mine!
I was going to showcase a Miyota 2115 in my "today's postbag" video just uploading now lol It was them Miyota movements that got me from changing batteries and straps to actually replacing Miyota movements in my Sekonda's, the inspiration though was your Tudor video was it? leading me to think "hey I can do that" and its been bumps and stuff and I prob broke more things than fixed in the beginning hehe Yet the ancient "testbed" of my shenanigans, the early quartz Sekonda Safari is still going strong save I was caught out by naughty Chinese people who were selling on ebay Miyota knockoffs or rejects with all the ones I got missing the second hand spindle so three of my Sekonda's are "sans" second hands which are kapton taped in the caseback for when I do get round to doing it :) This coming week I am rebuilding my Harley Ronda'd rose gold watch and going to try and get it all on vid, its them second hands tho... so damned fiddly.
The low end Miyota's are pretty much unserviceable e.g the 2035, 2115s other than you can change the crystal and the capacitor and coil but for a couple pounds why have the hassle. They are lubricated at factory in a "lifetime" way, some of the fancier jewelled movements are serviceable like Seiko's and Ronda's etc, my Ronda 785 that arrived today is a 5 jewel quartz and can be serviced being a modular design, gave the jewels a dot of oil and should be good for a few battery changes.
Cheers for the info Ian :-) I wasn't sure if they had any oil on them :-)
Love the videos, keep em coming
hello nice video , surgical movements ...I do have a miyota 2115 movement and is sometimes clicking and struggling to move , lose time. When adjust the crown it starts again for a few minutes and after deed. I changes the battery . What is happening?
My personal trick to align the second hand is just to set it half way into the pinion and just hold my tweezers at the closest second marker and letting the second hand hit the tip of the tweezers pushing it to the "almost" correct position
I'd like to see you take apart that faulty movement and diagnose/repair it.
@huntersmoon, your solar watch has a rechargeable battery which stores energy to power the movement. You can have this replaced or use any 1.5 v watch battery and your watch should run fine for as long as the battery is rated, usually a couple years.
Enjoyable video, thanks. Is the movement you refer to for £30 the exact same as the original component or is it a cheap Chinese copy?
The ETA movement I believe is an original. They seem to be the same price in various websites. It is cheap but works well and lasts many years with great timekeeping :-)
Great video Vince, I’m sure the owner will be delighted we’ll done. Can you tell me the exact model of you omega watch please? I’ve been after an omega for a while and yours is an excellent looking watch 👍
Intresting I could never do this I can do basic repairs but then my co-ordination problems kick in and I find it hard to work out where things go
This mechanism is repairable and serviceable. It can be disassembled and assembled.
If you’re interested, I have a watch with no sentimental value that may be easy to repair, at least from a size standpoint. It’s a late-1800s pocket watch. Please let me know if you might be interested. It’s a turnip style pocket watch. Not looking for it to be fixed. Just thought it might make a good video and I love the videos you put out!
Thanks JP, I am going to work through what I have in the house now as I am a year behind on some items!!!! Thanks for the kind offer though :-)
My Mate VINCE Excellent! Can’t wait to see more of your videos :)
Tried the water trick...on my aragon it leaves a trail ....But on my Invicta Subaqua speciality it's acting like sapphire But l know it's not it's flame fusion just wanted to give u the heads up 👊
Hi Vince, I would be interested in seeing the strap repaired through electrolysis or something simular, especially by a novice as pro's make it look way too easy. but there again they got years of experience, so would like to see how a first timer does at repairing on the first few attempts. maybe by buying a few cheap straps first or by buying some cheap metal before attempting to do it for real.
Thanks Michael. I will watch some videos on RUclips as a quick look on eBay shows kits form China for around £50. Maybe the chrome finish on those Casio Digi/Analog watches with the worn cases could also be done using the same equipment with a different metal :-)
Nice job =D
Thanks Chris :-)
Great job, thoroughly enjoyed watching, but when you was putting the seconds hand on for the second time, and your hand was shaking like someone with Parkinson's, I gotta say, I was shitting myself for you!! haha.
What was the issue with the movement?
I thought you where going to crush the minute and second hand when you put the dial in the holder, or is it designed to miss them.
I have a watch called "Solar 2000" that doesn't work too well, it does a weird double tick every 2 second even after a good, long blast of sunlight, you are welcome to have it for a video. I have no sentimental value with it whatsoever.
Thanks for the offer Hunter. I need to work through what I have at the moment but thanks for asking. On my Tag watch it ticks every 2 to 3 seconds when the battery is wearing down to let me know that it will need changing soon. I wonder if your watch has a battery that charges during the day to power it through the night. Maybe the battery needs replacing. Might be worth popping the back off to see how easy it is to replace the battery :-) If it isn't the battery then that would make for an interesting video as I wonder if it is capacitor related???? Maybe let me know when you have a chance to look at it :-)
you need to replace the capacitor. not that hard to replace 🙂
Hi mate. My PS4’s disk has seems to have been put in to the ps4 and it has gone above the disk drive. I’ve searched everywhere on the internet and can’t find a fix. Then I thought of you as you fix stuff, could you give me some advice
APU I dropped a like.. 4 Bucks for the movement is a steal even more so if yo get a Battery with it N seeing how much a single battery costs..
Thanks Koala, it was a real bargain. Couldn't believe it was so cheap and from a good UK seller of watch parts :-)
I'd love to see you polish and metal plate a watch
Nice thanks!!
is the second hand the first or the last hand
Gold leaf is what you’re referring to at 37:00 they come in very very thin sheets and you lay it down and apply it with a fine brush. You have to prep the surface beforehand. Google it! That would be sick!
Thanks Jason :-)
Hi Vince. I know it is not applicable to this video but do you know or plan to fix a PSVR V2 for cable pin out ?
I've tried to use your pin out for V1 but as expected the layout has changed.
Wire was severed. Got power side working but HDMI is giving blank screen.
Can't find anywhere on the net that shows pin out for V2. Can imagine this being a popular video as I can't find a replacement V2 cable. What do you think ?
Hi Neil, I don't have a Version 2 but I really enjoyed doing the Version 1 fix and it is still working. I can keep my eye out on eBay for one but then I would also need the newer V2 processor (I think). It would probably end up quite expensive for just a video. Thanks for the idea though. If a faulty V2 bundle comes up then I would be keen :-)
Hi Vince are you doing any more fixing Nintendo switch videos again
Hi Sean, yes when I come across a faulty one I will. The price for faulty ones is very high on eBay at the moment but when they start selling for £50-£60 then I am still interesting in them :-)
Can't wait for that video Vince
The forces in a quartz movement are tiny compared with a clockwork one. In a quartz movement the mechanical power comes in at the fast moving end of the gear train, The gears further on, just drive the hands and are under no load. But in a spring watch the force to drive the movement comes in at the slowest moving gears, so these are all under the force of the spring grinding, slowly in their bearings.
In other words spring watches need jewels, quartz watches can get away without.
Well done look good
Don't know why but Theseus's paradox came to mind watching this. I know you didn't replace everything. Still, great video!
Yeah I know what you mean but I don't think these movements are really made to be serviced, and if I did find a faulty part I think it may have been as cheap to get the whole movement. The original did last over 20 years so for £3.75 delivered if it lasts another 10+ years then it is money well spent :-)
@@Mymatevince Completely agree!
That is a nice watch
Thank you David :-)
@BaDboD So is this watch your main wearer or do you have other watches like automatics?
Trying. To Casio. Watch with. Miyota. Movement like 👍
It suprised me that Casio uses a Miyota movement, i knew miyota was company owned by citizen and used in smaller brands citizen owned like Q&Q, maybe Casio its in Citizen group?
What use is the second hand anyway . Leave it off .
VINCE VINCE VINCE ,COULD YOU
PLEASE TELL ME WHAT MICROSCOPE YOU ARE USING PLEASE AND WHERE DID YOU PURCHASE IT ??? ,AS IM THINKING OF GETTING ONE AND WOULD REALLY BE GRATEFUL FOR ANY HELP ,REGARDS SION LOVE THE VIDEO,S M8 :)
There is 1 identical to his on amazon for less than £40 here amzn.to/2SvP3Jv
Not sure if its the one he has but it looks identical
Yes, Welsh Tony 's link is the same one :-)
@@welshtony1 thanks tony as there,s so many out there ,and having a high zoom is,nt always better .so i,ve heard .i just wanted to know what vince was using . as it seems to be doing the job . thank for the reply vince ,love your video,s m8 . i like the fact that you fix stuff even if it is,nt profitable .and it more about the journey and learning what the problem is :) keep up the good work .
Hey vince! I know you don’t want to fix other people’s stuff and so I was hoping we could organise me gifting an item to you? It’s a vintage, 1960’s mechanical record player:) the brand is vantage. Do some research and get back, it just needs a look over and regressing as far as I know but it’s fairly intricate and interesting
The second hand was out of alignment when you pushed it down. 27:43 It was fine before that.
Notification squad, unite!
Alex Kiraly 👍 It’s Vince Time
@@lucaspagan3576 Gotta stop whatever you're doing and Vince, no excuses 💕
"I wonder if it can be re-plated"......
(Nekkid Watchmaker just entered the room).
Can you fix my hairline?
Breitling watches should be left well enough alone as there is a small VHF or UHF Rescue Beacon in the watch therefore the watch should be sorted out by a watch repairer who is aware of what the watch has on board.
❤️❤️❤️
Why didn't u take the glass out 2 clean
I would give him back the movement if it's for sentimental reasons - as it's more like "Triggers Broom" than a repair (use Google - it's a fun take on Theseus's ship)
The 'Triggers Broom' scene is so good :-)
What is the best switch lite game please answer
None! Lol ghostbusters
Nathan Chisholm really
@@sellsyplays7123 I liked it!
A dab of wd40 on your finger, then rubbed over the back of the movement with the battery out, leave it a couple of day then pop the battery back in. Works 99% of the time with a quartz watch.
Hello I have a question does the scuf impact work on a 8bitdo
Hi, sorry, I don't have any Scuf controllers to test it out.
To align the second put on loosly see where it lands then U can move up or down .Remember the backlash of gear train. Grand Seiko has a better system .All Swiss Quartz watches are not Better! Cheers.
All you needed to do was replace the coil that would have fixed the original quartz movement
Wait I thought you said no more videos for 2019
Sorry, I got bored!!!! I also have quite a few video that I haven't put live on RUclips yet :-)
@@Mymatevince I'm not complaining, just wasn't expecting to see another video until 2020, besides maybe that package for Mr. Telephone :)
Last one tonite I promise as don't want to be spamming hehe Couple weeks back I couldn't get my second Amphibia to work and I was scratching me head, after watching the assembly of the Vostok 2209 movement (Ratfaced Git) on RUclips I realised the whole canon pinion was missing and I was on my hands and knees trying to find it, never did but luckily I had one scrap 2209 movement and saved the day and its now waiting for its blue lumed paddle hands from Russia then I can button it up as a job done. You can always message me in Watchuseek forums, user name Dodgydruid and witness the burning shame of my very noob mistakes in there :P
hi im vince from mr telephone
nickel plating is pretty easy an cheap
He was willing to take the wrist(watch)….

hi just having a joke i bet you get a lot emailing you all the time now about doing this kind of watch HA HA
you call that repair ?: as much buy a new watch!!!
But you have a vintage casio for $5 if you fix it!
