I can do anything… why not restore watches ⌚️
Hello...
My name is Sean. I am a hobbyist Watchmaker just starting my journey in Horology. I have been intrigued by watching other horologists disassemble, fix, clean, and reassemble wristwatches for quite some time. As a person fascinated by these videos on UA-cam and TikTok, I thought, "Hey, I can do this too." That is just what I did. I decided to start my journey and record the process for prosperity.
I have always been interested in the precision of things. The more precise, the more interesting it is. Watchmaking is a precise and wonderful hobby which is right up my alley. I hope to learn a lot about this hobby, but it will probably always just be a hobby. I am a web designer by trade and own my firm. Korbco Consulting Group, LLC. I use my artistic side to help companies with their businesses. But I do have many hobbies that I enjoy, and this is the latest.

The Final Haul Of Watchmaking Tools To Start My Horology Journey - Plus a Few More Bergeon - 4K
Here is the Last video in the Watchmaking Tools series I gathered to start my Horology Journey. This video goes through a few final tools needed, but I am sure there will be many more to follow. We cover everything from Cleaning supplies to Watch Oiling and Oilers. Also, I discussed and showed some of the cheaper brands, and Amazon finds where I decided to go a bit cheaper instead of spending a lot on the premium brands. Did I make the correct choice? Only time will tell.
I would love to hear from you below about my choices.

Welcome to Wristwatch Overhaulin’ - My Journey into Watchmaking.
Переглядів 603Рік тому
Thanks for watching my first-ever video of my journey into Horology (watch repair). I am a total novice just starting to learn. But as you can see, when I go into something, I go “ALL IN.” I started watching other videos of experienced watchmakers and was encapsulated by them. Something about precision, taking something old and beat up and making it look new again. Breathing life back into some...
hey dude, I mean this with love.... Don't let people put you off your video journey.! Make thousands!... but keep them live and real. Let's face it, virtually all the watch repair videos on youtube are just about selling tools! AND.. the ones with the highest view counts are the most edited videos!!!. All they do is re-film the same procedures over and over until they get it right on camera and then they join all the bits together to make it look professional whilst telling an X-factor story about the owner of the watch over the top . One of the top guys has become so lazy and complacent that he has actually left some footage in one of his recent videos showing him taking a watch out of an envelope that he had already opened in previous takes. He didn't realise that due to the camera angle it had been filmed at, whilst he sliced through the front of the envelope with his new fancy knife, you could see straight through the package and out the back of it where it had been opened before! You could see the floor underneath it quite clearly through the opening! They are no more qualified than you my friend. They just have a lot of cameras and tools and do a bit a research to sound horologically convincing in the script.!!!! Is horologically a word? Is now lol Go on... make a video but keep all the mistakes in it like... springs flying across the room, screws getting launched from tweezers, breaking pivots, losing diashock end stones, breaking oiler tips by dropping them, losing your rag with hairsprings and ripping them to bits in a violent temper etc etc.🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 It's all good stuff. Love from Wales UK
Bergeon? Why? do you have too much money or some similar problem?
Muje chiye purakit
how is the journey going?
Yes, he has all the tools for sure. Wondered if I missed a video?
very low amplitude
Useless if you don’t know how to use it. Some people have too much money and g.a.s. - watchmaking is perfect for this
too loud
All the gear and no idea!!! I see you never started working on watches
It's all just an advert for amazon. The guy hasn't got a clue. Watching the way he plays with and pretends using the tools and says how much he loves them says it all.
Actually it’s all the rude and negative people in the watch community who think they know everything that made me just quit sharing my journey. Your comment is a perfect example of how you know nothing about me but waste your time commenting on my old videos.
@@WatchOverhaulin I’m loving the community engagement, let’s see some videos!

Go for it!
Where are the screwdrivers?
Damn your watch is ugly. But your tools are okay. 🕐⚙️🍸
Audio PLEASE ! ! ! tjl
I'm curious how is RODICO different from tack, general purpose blue tack. I had a bunch of it from other hobbies, and i use it exactly like people use rodico, and works perfectly fine. And there's a huge difference in price for what you get. So if anyone worked with both, i'm curious what rodico does or how is it different than plain old tack.
Bluetack leaves grease behind. Just try putting a poster on a wall with it then taking it down aa few months later there is a blue grease stain on the wall forever.
@@occamraiser good to know. I'll order some rodico right now.
Great video. Subbed!
Anyone foolish enough to buy "exclusive" Burgeon tools is a fool who should just throw his money into the Ocean. Don't buy their overpriced trash,
What to buy then?
@@rudiger86 Used tools on eBay, Chinese knockoffs, and equipment sold for other hobbies for half the price that also work for watchmaking. Burgeon is a scam.
@@kupariusa4202 what if he's sponsored? Lol 😂
11 months later and the beautiful collection of tools are still unused... did he give up before he started?
Dude… you couldn’t put that movement holder back together and your watch is falling off your wrist. Are you sure you want to be a watchmaker??.😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 joking aside, stop buying crap and start making watch repair videos. This is more like an advert for amazon. Anyways....Looking forward to seeing you in action.!
Any new videos? Restoration projects?
BTW, my Bergeon air blower was like $15 it's the red one with gray plastic tip. And that's one of my tips, your air blower should stand on its own and have a plastic tip for several reasons.
My suggestions to others, there is a set of tools about 10 that are absolutely needed to start taking apart movements and putting them back together, because that is what you need to do a few times before you know if this is what you want to do. For guys like this and myself, i think we are committed, but you can totally get away with less than $200 investment in tweezers, screw drivers, mat, movement holder, case opener, some wood pegs. And start taking apart a pocket watch movement. Something you don't mind destroying. In fact, if you can get two pocket watches (swiss made) GPTS WW2 era non working movements and simply practice taking apart and putting back together. That will let you know what else you need and if you like this hobby. You might even end up with one working pocket watch. Those can be had for about $50 non working. You don't need all Bergeon tools but, a movement holder, spring bar tool, nice tweezers, right you don't need much Else. A small 2x loop. But that's about it. You don't need any cleaning or jewel tools, nada. Just practice taking a large pocket watch movement apart and trying to get it back together with the tools you have.
I've been picking up new tools for a while, almost everything on this desk is best to get the Bergeon type. A few that aren't as important. The Mainspring barrel closer (7922) there are $10 versions that will be just fine although a few cheap versions that aren't that great. But, you can probably save $30 on getting a generic brand. The 8 ball back case opener and the knife are both ones you can get for a bit cheaper, but when it comes to the knife, make sure your getting something like a Boley, because you still want similar quality. The watch Dial 6398 protectors although you can get something else, like you said, it's inexpensive, so just get the Burgeon or use something hand made from plastic. Everything what with exception of the eye loop with i wild just say, there are better options than Berge9n for similar price, everything else really needs to be Bergeon.
What happened to the channel , let me guess , you ruined a 25 thousand dollar Rolex and your wife said , Sell the tools !!!
Very educational. Thankyou
Way to get dust in the movement which could cause issues with the movement in the future should you intend to keep it. I own a reef Tiger Aurora concept/transformer it’s a great little watch
BOUGHT MINE BUT THE DISPLAY ONLY LASTED A FEW WEEKS , ITS VERY FAINT NOW AND HARDLY USEABLE ,
Thanks for the great video! Can I suggest boosting your audio for the next one? I can barely hear and had to turn on Closed Captioning.

Yes please
You have bought almost all the tools that a watchmaker needs, some for the very advanced or highly professional watchmakers and some are way too expensive for a beginner, you tell all about it, but you are a beginner as you say and have not yet disassembled and reassembled a watch, let alone serviced. You have a lot more stuff than a beginner needs. But I'm curious about your first video of you working on a watch.
I made the mistake of buying cheap tools to start the hobby. I wasted my money as the cheapos were not up to the job. As with everything in life it’s better to buy the best you can afford - and although they’re pricey you won’t go wrong with Bergeon, Horotec and Dumont tools.
There are some tools that you can do for the cheap version, just not that many. Good luck.
Please pack all of your tools into a large box and send to me 😉. I’m looking forward to seeing more of your adventures in this hobby, I’m in the contemplative stage, I have a spreadsheet of tools but haven’t pulled the trigger yet. Also, I’d be interested in seeing your camera and audio setup!
Just out of curiosity had you considered the Bergeon 7965-S12 Special Profile Screwdriver Set? Would there be any benefit to them?
Esslinger on speed dial!
When are you going to start working on watches?
Apparently never, I think he is a gear fiend
step one, make a youtube channel.
I was wondering how long it would take before you bought a microscope and enter the 21 century watchmaking. I bet in 6 monthes you will have one on your bench. And then you will go for the right microscope and then... like me you will end up with 3 microscopes. To avoid this pay attention to the distance under the lens so that you can work freely with your hands under it.
Lol its useful when replacing the balance complete. At least for me.
Chinese word or name Weishi, pronounced “Way-she”. Not “We-She” Good video otherwise. Any idea what the difference is between the Weishi 1000 verses the 1900, other than the $40 more for the 1900? Thanks
Thanks. I did not know.
the gain it s important ?
Your sound is too low
Wouldn’t be better on the spring if you would suspend it the other way around? Idk seems hard on the spring 🤷🏻♂️ if it doesn’t go the other way around, nevermind my comment 😜 ✌🏼😎👍🏼
New subscriber here! 👋 wow you really went all in for sure! Just getting started myself, bought a Seiko with 7s26 movement and a cheap Invicta with Nh35 movement….can’t wait to learn and watch your videos! ✌🏼😎👍🏼
Wow if that timegrapher is right you got a very good watch there! 👍🏼 ✌🏼😎👍🏼
Are these accurate?? Seen a few videos about China vs others…. I guess its better than nothin 🤷🏻♂️
Glad to see more tools, have you serviced a movement yet? I ask, because I’ve found I needed this tool or that, mid repair, which makes the tool rabbit hole go much much deeper. Also, you’ll need like eleventeen of those clothes (and I’ll suggest some Zeiss lens wipes for many things) As for the tweezers: I too have all the Dumont you have, and I’m curious which you’ve used the most? I ask because I have 18 different pair, and use 3 like 99% of the time. Also, why no brass? Or did I not see them? That tweezer stand/rack is dope too.
What 3 do you use most?
Love the top quality tools, but, can only afford the cheaper, lower quality tools. It is all less "painful" to replace broken or malfunctioning tools🤗😎
I like this channel. It is different than most. Most are already talented at something or at least somewhat experienced before they make content. This guy is taking us actually through a journey. He could be successful and we watch him grow. Or he could go down in flames and we witness much swearing and selling of tools.
There is something wrong with your mic, I have my vol at max and can barely hear what you are saying.
What Watch do you weare here?
This is a Reef Tiger. I even have it in the video about testing my Timegrapher.
Being a total noob, fooling with cheap movements... I prefer the cheap tools haha.
