Good video Mike you have some fantastic tools/machinery to do your restoration repairs with. Thanks for the shout out. You are doing a great thing here. Much appreciated. Honestly there was no way I would have tried to service a watch if I hadn’t come across you videos. Cheers

@thejupiter2 2 года назад

Top tip. If you live in a hard water area try using distilled water instead of tap water. This eliminates the risk of leaving a tiny film of dissolved inorganic calcium salts on the components found in hard water. Also use the same for rinsing off after cleaning. Distilled water can be expensive so I have a dehumidifier in my workshop to keep the humidity down to a safe level at aroun 45/ 50% . This way I also collect as much distilled water as I need. I also add a few drops of rinse agent, the sort you add to a dishwasher, the cheapest brand will do. This helps prevent water beading and thus aids drying. Oh, and never ever put your fingers in the ultrasonic whilst it's working, it'll cook your fingers no prizes for guessing how I found that one out.

I found your channel because I wanted to learn servicing watches (I thought it's a good place to start), but the more I watch your videos, the harder it seems. There is more to learn than I thought :(

@MyRetroWatches 5 лет назад

It can seem overwhelming but its not. Start slowly with some basic tools and take loads of photos of the movement as you take each part off and that way you have a record of how it call goes back. Its only on when you have done one that you realise its not so difficult. However thats when you want to get better, more tools and then cleaning / timing becomes important to you. its a gradual thing. I have only been doing this for around 2.1/2 years although I have got a bit obsessed.

I can’t answer that dials can be different for each watch. Generally Seiko are friction fit on two pins.

@adrianbirkett594 5 лет назад

Great Video!, so detailed, loved it. Quick question, how do you separate top and bottom jewels during cleaning?, i know it's a problem if you get them mixed up during assembly. Thanks again. Adrian 🍀🍀

@MyRetroWatches 5 лет назад

Thanks. My understanding is the Seiko 6309 shock jewels are the same size so I have washed them together. I guess if we have problems in regulating then that will be the cause. I have done this before on a 6 series without a problem.

@duckstuffvintage917 4 года назад

Interesting and thorough quick course. I would think, considering the cost of the cleaning solution for the watch cleaning machine, that you might want to strain them through a dense flexible cloth or other similar material, therefore keeping the cleaner but tossing the trash. Maybe even a chamois cloth. Just a thought that might save a few (or more) bucks.

Could I ask for advice on ultrasonic washing, because Cousins does not send liquids like Renata and similar to Ireland, I have liquid Elma 1:9,IPA 99.9,ligher fluid,in what order should the parts be washed and then rinsed safely so that they do not rust, etc..? hope I'm not asking too much, thank you very much...

@siizaddict 5 лет назад

Great work !

@fluxcapacitor05 2 года назад

I basically use this exact process with the exception of using a different brand sonic cleaner. That's it, and everytime I wash all of the high torque (steel) parts like the canon pinion they come out rusted. I don't know why. I'll pull them out of the alcohol stage and place them in a mason jar with a heat gun to dry, to which they'll come out looking fine but after 3 hours there's always a layer of surface rust over all of them and I have to bust out the scratch brush to remove it. Interestingly, after I remove the rust with a scratch brush and wash it in alcohol (making it look good again) the rust comes back in another 3 hours. I'll also add that no other watch part does this, either on different watches, or on new parts I order, just on the ones I wash using the Naptha+Distilled Rinse+Cleaner+Distilled Rinse+Alcohol+Dry process. It's driving me insane.

Have you ever tried polishing the inside of the barrel to remove / reduce the scouring of the mainspring?

No, that would be really hard to get in there and removing any material could take it out or round. Dont forget that spring is under one hell of allot of tension inside the barrel on a full wind.

Chronoguide watchmakers in holland says never put watch movement parts in Ultrasonic cleaner. help!

@MyRetroWatches Год назад

Well yes but he has a proper powerful one whereas I have a cheap hobbyist version. Equally it does not stack up for me personally the ultrasonic argument that it damages parts is not completely sound in my opinion. They show a tin foil trick where it disintegrates. You will not disintegrate a piece of stainless steel no matter how hard you try and I’ve never experienced any damage to wheels either or the plating that is on most parts. I have seen other professionals on YT also use ultrasonics too. I now use a cleaning machine I bought second hand mainly because it’s a waterless system and the fluids are far better at doing the job.

@WarFreak131 3 года назад

How did your manage to put the ultrasonic on 50C with so little water? I did something similar at 30C and the machine started smoking. I don't know if there wasn't enough water to soak up the great generated from the ultrasonic waves, or if the wire insulation was burning up. But everyone i turn on the heating element i smell a burning smell.

There is an easier way of cleaning the balance than doing it separately. Mount the balance assembly in its place on the main plate and after doing so remove its diashock jewels. You can then throw the main plate with the mounted balance in with the rest of the parts for cleaning. Much safer than fiddling with the balance on its own and it will get a better clean. That's how I do it anyway.

@MyRetroWatches 5 лет назад

Dials are often lacquered and the decals are transfers so you run the risk of removing them. My only cleaning method for a dial is rodico and on occasion a Q tip with saliva. As its the dial we look at the most I do not want to risk ruining this one.

I'm finding these great. The cleaning vids I very much appreciate. Hoping to do this sort of thing myself. I've bought tools and quite a few problem watches to start trying out service and cleaning watches. Thanks again.
