another amazing video in the best quality, thanks for sharing your expertise Net....your explanation of parts and lubrication used is stting your videos in the top best...👍👍
@@magicofwheels Hello well oiling the 2 winding small wheels with a synthetic GT85 oil using a toothpick as a dripper.....only did the trick....now winds correctly without the rotor spinning. Rotor still functions as it should.
Really enjoyed and appreciated this video. Like others have said, great camera work and explanation. Many such videos just have a cheesy soundtrack - I was glad to hear the names of the pieces (in case I need to replace something) and how and why things are done. Keep up the excellent work!
I started my watchrepairing journey with an ETA 2836 which had problems with the setting wheel and I managed to fix it after I bought necessary tools and of course after I have seen your video. Before that I have seen a LOT of videos from very popular professional watchmakers/youtubers, semi-professional ones and amateur people... I also rarely comment anything but... this is the best video I have seen 1) quality 2) lightning 3) right zoom 4) very detailed explanations of lubricants, part names, tool names and important steps.. This is above great and excellent, this video is the #1 ever .. Thank you Magic of Wheels
Thank you very much. I appreciate your time taking commenting my video. I am so glad my video(s) is useful to people who are interested in watch service and repair and, hopefully, it is entertaining to those who are not.
Sir really enjoyed ,great video with extra ordinary clarity . This eta 2836-2 movement is made up of which metal ? Is that a pure steel or brass ? If it is brass then is there any problem ?
From the ETA oiling/assembly chart, it is important that the setting wheel is placed with the correct side up. To me both sides look the same. How do you know which is the correct side up?
Youre right, i enjoyed every minute😁 By the Way, where did you learn to service watches? Where do you get all your high quality tools? Did you buy the movement holder extra for this movement?
Thank you for your comment. 1. I learned from online sources. It took me quite sometimes though to be able to do all these. 2. I got the tools from local store and some chinese made tools are from Aliexpress. 3. Yes, the movement holder is specifically for ETA 28xx . I knew I will deal alot with ETA 28xx movement so it is worth it to own one.
@@magicofwheels i will buy an Bergeon Movement Holder the next days. I serviced an old ETA 1080 today an the Handling with my low quality holders is absolute suboptimal:( But i encountered another Problem, thats completely new to me....the Screws🧐 With this particular Movement i had so many problems to loosen the screws....really weird. The coverplates for the Capstones couldnt be removed at all😱 Its normal that a screw is hard to loosen sometimes....but here it is every single scrwe😅
Wow!! I love that old movement. Were those screws rusted? You have encountered annoying but challenging task. 😄 Hopefully everything will go well. please let me know the progress of your project. Have a good day.
@@magicofwheels Heyho, i finished the service some days ago and everythings seems to run fine. The Beat error could be a little better, but amplitude and rate are fine. I changed the whole movement (broken balance staff pivot) for an upgraded version with incabloc and serviced that one. What a pitty i cant post a picture here.... I hope i can service such lovely Midos and other automatics, too someday. Btw. I finally ordered many new "toys" to like a Bergeon Movement Holder etc to play with😋
Nice to hear that. I can see you are having fun with this. I am happy for you. Too bad I cannot see your project. Add my facebook page or instragram so we can share our knowledge and experiences. :) Welcome to this world of movement craze.....
>"cool, now I can do it myself step by step without possibility of any mistake!" >sees moebius lubricant prices with the cost higher than the movement itself "guess incompetent tissot authorized center that dug up a hole in my case and gave 3 deep scratches on the cap just by opening the snap-on cap is my only option..." heh.. why can't they sell lubricants in reasonable amount just for one, or two time lubrication of my watch:(
I can imagine how upset you were having to see those scars on your watch caseback specially there were done by the watchmaker from authorized center. It should be the last thing you expect giving your watch in for service at the authorized center. That's why I wanted to do everything myself and found out every tool including oil is super expensive. 👌
@@magicofwheels I also wanted to do everything myself at the beginning, (no one will care about you watch more than yourself) but the skills required were too much at that moment and I'd rather pay for a safe option... which sadly turned to be botched far beyond my wildest imagination. Even regulation was off from -40 to +30. Now I see I don't have a choice, as there is no one to do this for me. If I find screwdrivers (I believe for this mechanism only 1,0mm, 0,8mm and 0,7mm are needed) and lubricants in reasonable price (I don't need 5ml/10ml/20ml bottle to lubricate a thousand watches) Then I will do it Guess for now I will hunt for proper lubricants - the most problematic element.
Totally agree with you regarding the cost of tools but I am too crazy and my passion is far too much to restrain myself from doing this watch service thing. Don't be like me 🤪 😜 . ps. the minimun amount of oil they sell is 2 ml.
@@magicofwheels well, I think your purchases are well justified and will pay off, as you have *many* watches to work with and also a yt channel. I have just a single one tissot prs 516 automatic:)
