DIY Oris TV Crystal Restoration - Will It Work? 

I get great satisfaction watching this channel (and others) where the author simply does *the very best job they can do.* Shows that someone still takes pride in their work. Certainly NOT a nonsense channel because it give you a break from the bad world outside. Eases your mind for a little while. There is certainly worth in that.

Well said, 100% agreed .... very well thought out spoken message at the end

When I watch the owner of time at work, time seems to stop until he starts it again. These videos are priceless.

yes, it calms the soul...

How would you recommend starting? First steps? Also, did you have any repair-type experience?

@@SuperScottCrawford I totally have no experience in repairing watches but I love watches. When I saw all my wife's and my watches laying around "dead"...I thought it will be a good idea to bring them back to life..sending them to the shop will cost me a bomb... so I watch alot of RU-vid on the subject and learnt from the experts...I bought the recommended tools, and then opened the watch case to see the movements...each movement has the manufacturer name and the model number...so I ordered them from China..if you get the correct movement it will fit nicely onto the watch dial because the movement has dial feed holes and it will fit nicely onto the movements holes. Once this is fitted, you need to put the hour, minutes and second hands back...here you need some skill and patience. You can watch how the experts do that from the RU-vid. Initially, I damaged a few movements and I learnt from my mistakes. As the saying goes, practice make perfect...I have so far put lives back to more than 40 watches..some were from relatives and friends...it will give you great pleasure when you see a 30 years old Quartz watch ticking away. Now, I am modding watch...meaning to say, I buy the watch cases, mechanical movement and I assemble them..hope I have given you some confident to start this hobby..if you need further info, do let me know..take care.

@@peterwong1531 thank you very much for your time and help! To clarify, from what I understand, "movement" is essentially the entire mechanism of the watch (minus hands, faceplate), correct? Interesting. So if that's the case, are you recommending starting by replacing entire mechanisms at first, then proceed to the intricacies of unassembling the mechanisms when you gain enough confidence and experience to do so? Again, thanks for your 🕰️ and 🧭!

@@SuperScottCrawford Hi... movement is the entire assembly. Normally, if you buy this, it will comes without the hour, minute and second hands. So you just swap the new movement with the faulty one. Before you do that, you need to confirm whether it is a faulty movement or just flat battery. Replace a battery first to see whether the watch runs. If not then look out for the same movement and replace it. For you i will not encourage you to just change the coil, it is very tedious process. Just change the whole movement.

hats off

your videos make me see the value and beauty of previous things

Same here

My thoughts exactly

Beautifully said!

Nicely put Angelino, I couldn't agree more!

Great finish!!!thanks.

Thanks mate

Exactly, I hate people like that who take a title without putting in the actual work, it's comparable to stolen honor. Not to that extent, but pretty close, restoring timepieces like this takes a lot of training and practice that not many can achieve. A trained monkey could probably write a few sentences, but that doesn't make him Shakespeare. This is a true art form.

I really like this about this channel that he rescues as many parts as possible. I saw another “restoration “ of a Rolex and a dude just put almost all new movement parts

Absolutely spot on Fred!

Your work and commentary in each project is a journey of peace and love...how can anyone resist it. Peter

He calls him "Trouble." That's funny!

@@if66was99 yes, in a completely sweet, loving manner. He calls him “the Little Watchmaker’s Apprentice” in other videos.

@@capers72424 He is a little Apprentice! He lets him do some actual work, teaching him. Watchmaker in the making. :-)

I subbed because of the mustang joke

i don't wanna sound rude but what's the issue with the repairer talking?? WTF.

Thank you 🙏

Thanks Keith

perfect, its relaxing and interesting.

I watch a blacksmith channel, VERY talented guy in Finland, Torbjörn Åhman. Watching yesterday, he's in his shop doing manly blacksmith stuff. He takes a break to go in the house to make GINGERBREAD HOUSES with his young son and daughter! Just melts your heart!

True, and keep in mind too that pursuits like repairing watches can also furnish object lessons in goodness, which maybe our dear NW has not noticed like overlooking the forest when one is always busy with trees. Sometimes, it seems from watching the videos of several watch repair aficionados including NW, a watch really only needs a service, to be disassembled and cleaned and reassembled and lubricated and sometimes regulated to better timekeeping. Sometimes it needs more, like the replacement or reshaping of broken or damaged or missing parts. In an analogous way, God operates on souls submitted to Him.

Patience is more than a virtue l.p., it is one of the 9 fruitages of the Holy Spirit described at Galatians 5:22&23. And yes the world will be a much better place when the theocratic government under Jesus Christ rules the earth after Armageddon, and these 9 fruit fruitages are practiced by everyone.

Thanks for the suggestion mate hope it helps with your tinkering

Thank you for another interesting video, bringing a dead watch back to the living, a enjoy your wise words at the end of it, wow, such a pleasure to watch

@@NekkidWatchmaker what are the solutions for stage 1, 2 and 3. The scenario you describe is exactly what I would like to use. I've been using isopropyl as a final step but still seeing dirst on the jewels, spring casing, yoke etc. Anywhere oil tends to be heavy. Also using water based as a first stage but it can cause rust spotting which I want to avoid. I'd like to up my game and of not possible buy a better cleaner. Love the videos.

Thanks Stephanie

Thanks Robert
