Really enjoyed the video. I have been struggling with an ETS 2789-1. Different keyless configuration. But, it was the motion works I was interested in. My minute cock, even though the tab was under the day/date guard, would not allow the dial to be placed until the two tabs either side of the were inserted under the base plate space. When you did the disassemble it can be seen where the lugs should be (at 1minute 26 seconds). I saw this and have been able to correct my installation. Thank you
Good afternoon! I love the video. I recently bought a Saestar and had to take it disassemble the date and day rings. However, during assembly, the week ring went on but when I go hack it, the week does not move only the when I turn in the opposite direction the date moves fine. Is there something I am supposed to set before putting the tiny clamp back on??? Thanks
Love your technique and approach. Are you self taught? Did you take Mark Lovick's online course? Out of curiosity, did you consider removing rust from the stem or was it too risky?
Thanks, Jimmy! I haven’t taken Mark’s courses, but I owe a lot of my technique to his videos. I also feel like I learned everything else I know from bunnspecial and JD Richard. I have broken stems in the past so if it’s functional I try not to touch it. Maybe I’m still a bit skiddish
@@csspinner you should swear like bunnspecial also. Haha.... No, I've found his stuff entertaining too. I hear you on the stem. I'm not sure I'd have the guts to try removing the rust either. So where'd you learn the wristwatch stuff? Those guys primarily do pocket watches. There's also that guy Marshall on wristwatch revival. I've only repaired one wristwatch, an Omega, but it was a simple movement, no complications.
@@jimmykao3355 Couple months ago I started with simple wristwatches with no complications, which were basically miniature pocket watches lol. Then it was this page that taught me the basics of how an automatic worked, plus the basics of the calendar complication. ciechanow.ski/mechanical-watch/ The chronograph video I did was absolutely the most humbling and felt over my head. But the secret was lots of photos during disassembly, and patience. I also needed to compare my movement to high res examples on the web because it had missing and broken pieces I needed to identify and replace. I have an old fusee from 1839 arriving in the mail soon. That will be the first one of those I try, assuming there’s nothing missing or broken with that (for those you need to make your own parts). I’m saving up for a lathe but it will be a while till I gain that kind of skill.
how do you connect a microphone to the timegrapher app? I have the same one but I am only able to use it with the iphone microphone, if I plug any other mic the app doesn t use it
That’s strange. I was just using a typical apple provided set of wired earbuds. It’s been a while since I used the app though so I don’t remember if there was a special setting. I since switched to a real timegrapher
I looked at those KIF spring tools. They’re so pricey! This is the case with most of the specialty tools of watchmaking. The staking set is still the big purchase I couldn’t avoid
