I looked up the serial number and it kinda special and it is one of 2000 that year . Tempand what ever that is .

That was an excellent review of the topic. Thanks very much.

I have two Bunn specials one is a 16 another is a 18 and one other is a 18 key wind key key set . Sagamo special what does it mean . The train line ? Guess I have to find out. It is a real pain installing a impulse jewel back on the roller table.

So it was pretty beat up when You started ? You did get deep into getting it to function well . I got a old Waltham that had a destroyed balance and changed it out from a donor and got lucky .

Making a slowmo video of the balance swing you can identivy the swing angle quite good. I use my phone to do this.

This is so exciting - I am your market.

Well done. New subscriber here.

Great stuff! Well done with everything! I think your listeners (I would) be interested to hear your learnings now you work in the industry. How can your learnings help us or someone that might think about doing what you have do re career change in the watch industry. Has it made you a better watch maker? What tips have you got for us! Also, how will the spacer in the movement help reduce shock to the watch movement? Looking forward to the next ep.

Terrible video... terrible just terrible

Welcome back! Very excited to follow along with this new endeavor!

This is a great idea John. Welcome back and amazed to hear about your career change. Very inspiring. Can't wait to see where you take your channel.

Welcome back!

Thanks for the video. It is very useful. The book you reference "American pocket and wrist watch balance staff interchangeability list" seems to be unavailable in my searches. I guess I will have to watch Ebay.

"The screw slots on these screws are actually quite large," he says while wearing an eye loupe so he can actually see them clearly. 😄

How lucky am I! I have the exact movement with a similar if not same issue! 😊

I use liquid shellac.

running into vintage hackery is common when your dealing with vintage timepieces,

Why have you stopped making videos ?

great stuff

Very informative video.

wow. i cannot see a thing that you are doing.

It pays to be patient with those chips! Lol after a couple times redrawing to clear chips it starts to get annoying real quickly lol Obviously bad idea to act like they don't exist 😂

Best demonstration of Jacot tool I've seen on UA-cam. Thanks for the advice about the tapering problem and stepping down the grooves as a way to minimize it. This is not mentioned in most demonstrations. I don't seem to be able to find qbstuff. Are they still in business?

This is a really helpful series, thanks for doing this!

Good video. I cannot find part 2.

I feel your pain brother. 2 things I hate the most: fitting roller jewels and hairspring work.....

Дуже важливо знати 😊❤

I would like to fix my rolex 1500 it seems to have problems I am from Puerto Rico if I have to send the watch let me know thank you

Thank you so much for such a clear in depth tutorial into the Jacot tool and burnishers. Iv just purchased a clean full set and awaiting their arrival. Your content will help me no end and you now have a new subscriber.

I love the (higher grade Waltham) American grade and Amn grades! Your desire to restore this, as you said “basket case” movement impresses me considerably. I will be following your progress with interest!

When I first I saw the device, I thought it was a thumb lock! But then the real explanation made it clear!

I just wanted to thank you for all of your watch repair videos. I have learned much from watching them and it has helped me advance my watch repair skills. Your in-depth explanations are a valuable asset to all learning this amazing craft. Thanks again.

I just started collecting pocket watches. I got a really nice one I need to get going

I'm confused. I thought the purpose of those screws was to adjust the balance of the wheel. Why would you need to lighten one?

I love the chain with the leather connection. I’m assuming you bought that new for this watch. Where is it from? would love to have one for my Illinois pocket watch

Burnisher is rolling the surface not filing. It will reduce the diameter of the spigot but not removing material or removing it very little.

Congratulations good job

Thank you for taking the time and effort to show us the pivot reconditioning procedure.

You can take some metal polish and polish the new and old jewels in the plate and you won't even able to see the difference

Hi, how much total weight did you remove?

I had the same problem with a Waltham 220. The star was completely rusted and the screw on teh bottom was also rusted. I successfully freed it up with wd40 and it all cleaned up nicely. Replaced the star, blued washer and screw.

well done...those tools are insanely expensive but we need them.

Wow...thanks for this video. Thank you so very much. These is the kind of stuff I'm talking about!. Good man! You are only one of a couple who even bother showing these important matters. All most want to do is just video themselves cleaning, oiling, slapping it on the Timegrapher and all is perfect. That almost never happens. For instance, understanding what the Timegrapher is telling us is what I need. The prognosis/diagnosis thing. e.g. I had a watch I cleaned, oiled, and it seemed to run well. I put it on the Timegrapher, and it showed a huge amplitude drop from horizontal v vertical position. Why?. What is that a sign of?. See...that is what myself and many other newbs out there need to know to learn to be good watchmakers. Thank you so every much for these detailed videos on dynamic poising. This is what I have been wanting to learn and practice but there is little info out there for us rookies. Thanks. Thanks. Thanks

Thanks for the video on the Jacot tool! Unfortunately, those pivot gauges are going for almost the same price as the jacot tool! Yikes... Would it be possible to just buy a set of jewels of different sizes and make one?

Super! Nice!

As always you are very informative...great video.

Great video...I appreciate it.

Awesome job on this video...thanks.

Question: What kind of alcohol are you using on that video?

Do you take watches in for repair from the general public?
