Nice restoration

Excellent

Walthan 1908 how do i adjust speed?

Oil, metal particles and water ingress are the most likely causes for dial stains, and water or condensation could lead to rust staining. On that basis, rust remover might help remove the remaining stain on the dial

Un buen trabajo, en un reloj espectacular. Muchas gracias por compartir su saber y trabajo, los que somos aficionados agradecemos mucho todas y cada una de sus explicaciones. Volviendo al reloj, con los años que tiene... cuantas historias nos contaría, cuantas vivencias... eso es una de las cosas que más me fascinan de estos relojes antiguos. insisto, muchas gracias por su tiempo.

Хорошее видео. Но хочу дать несколько советов: 1.Работать с алмазной пастой намного лучше не с латунью, а с медными приспособлениями, алмазная паста лучше сцепляется с медью, кристаллы как бы въедаются в более мягкую медь(она мягче) и полировка и доводка идет намного быстрее и лучше. 2.Перед гальваническим золотым покрытием, деталь лучше покрыть медью (раствор медного) при помощи гальваники, позолота держится намного прочнее и дольше и цвет позолоты получается ярче. А лучше ещё перед золочением-меднение-серебрение-золочение-так делал ФАБЕРЖЕ, ХЛЕБНИКОВ, САЗИКОВ. Особенно когда накладывали эмаль.

The gunky oil deposits and out-of-alignment jewels make me wonder if the watch had been exposed to moderate heat - not high enough to make the shellac displace entirely, but enough to soften it a tad; might also explain some of the dial cracking

Thanks for posting! Great vid!

That's a beautiful watch Red. I've never seen a jewel hole being widened before, really interesting! Great job!

Very nice restoration learned a couple things. Webb C Ball set the standards in 1903 . I did not catch the year of this one. I do know that the 19 jewel came after 1903 .

I've had the pleasure of servicing several of these and '92 movements. I'm always amazed at the level of decoration they did back then. You'd have to "invest" heavily in a modern wrist watch to get anything close to the same level of finish and decoration. I'd love to watch as the did the decorrations. I have read on how it was done. Very labor intensive. And yes, as you correctly stated, the definition of a "railroad" watch changed depending on the time and in some cases which RR it was going to be used on. The Canadian and US railways had different requirements to be considered "railroad grade". Thanks to Mr. Ball for establishing the list of RR "approved" watches. Love the channel! You do very nice work sir!

"It's the best way to do it, except for all the other ways" is the perfect summarization of horology as a whole 😂

I have a Rockford very simular to that and it was my great grandfathers who purchased it new and was a enginer for the railroad and then he gave it to my grandfather who was also an enginer for the NY Penn Railroad and now I have it but it isnt working and hasnt for several years and Ive thought about getting it fixed one day . Great video and thanks for sharing.

I own a very similar watch. Mine has an odd calendar thing on the bracelet though.

Don't you think it is wise to let down the mainspring before removing the balance wheel?

Thanks so much

Crazily ornate dial 😍& finish! 👌

You talk to much

Perfect TY! I just got a non-working Hamilton Perry and needed to see how to service the movement. Many thanks.

Great video... Just got a Wthm/1908 movement...

....die Amerikanischen Taschenuhren sind doch die Schönsten unsere Deutschen sind rein funktional so zb. mit plopp Deckeln die oft ausleiern....🤔

Very nice work. Beautiful watch.👍

wow, super skill, danke schon)

Would you please fix my 999b

Thanks love the jewel work

Excellent work! If you don't mind sharing, what did your source for the jewel end up being?

Fantastic Work,. Specifically the jewel fabrication you could do a whole video on just that part.

Fantastic video. Thank you. I am currently learning how to use my lathe. I successfully made a pocket watch bridge screw for the first time just last week.I have 2 examples of this movemnt. One is in pefect running condition and the other was in very poor condition. I have restored great deal of it, but this same jewel is broken. Thank you for showing how to create a chaton. I would be intersted in a machiists video for just this task alone. I have lots of questions but here are 2 . 1. Where did you source the jewel. 2. Where do you normally source jewels.

An absolutely beautiful dial. And thank you for the details on installing the new jewel, very informative and interesting. And yes, the case compliments the movement perfectly. An excellent video, thank you.

Great video as always. You and Chris Spinner are my favorited because of your work with American pocket watches. Keep up the great work and thanks again.

Thank you for the video. Hampdens are some of my favorite PW’s. The factory was oly about half hour from where I live. Long gone now I-77 goes thru where it once stood. Some people do not know the factory was sold to Russia and became I believe the first Moscow watch company.

Great video, what grit level (or type/brand) do you use for the diamond paste to cut the jewel?

An amazing job. A lot of detail. I really enjoyed watching. Thank you

I got a watch once on E bay the main plate was destroyed . Who drills a hole in the main plate to install a jewel in setting in place of a jewel that is friction fit .I do not know Krazy

Good micro photography on all your work. I enjoy watching your videos.

What an amazing restoration! That work on the jewel and chaton is on another level. Your video quality is really improving and I can't wait to see what else you have in store. 💪

Man, this is amazing! Thank you for sharing this amazing video.

Could not for the life of me understand how to remove the movement until I viewed your video and you mentioned 1/2 screws. Was able to remove in 5 minutes. Thanx.

Thank you for showing this. I have just received a friend's 940 and have just discovered the lack of an alloy for this movement. May I ask about replacing the mainspring- did you wind in by hand or is there clearance for a winder? ...and when replacing the ratchet assembly was it difficult to ensure the hook engages with the mainspring or is it a matter of reversing until the ratchet assembly is seated correctly and the hook will engage ?

This video helped me a lot! Thank you!

why didn't you just pop the new mainspring into the barrel, instead of unwinding and rewinding it? it seems counterintuitive to me.

Very nice watch box. Would just fit all my watches. Too bad I don’t have any wood working skills.

i got the full set of bergeon winders :) greatest investment but be ready to sell a kidney
