Restoration of a Rusty Movement - Omega Cal.26.5 SOB
In this video, I'll show you how I repaired a rusty movement - the Omega 26.5 SOB movement from the 1930s.
I always buy on price, not quality, and end up buying again and again. I learned such a man is called 'penny wise and pound foolish'. I admit I am one of those fools. But I found this at 10,000 JPY, less than 100 USD. How could I stop buying it?
Thank you for watching the video. I hope you liked this video. If so, please like and subscribe to my channel!

Citizen Leopard - A beast born in the 1970s
Переглядів 437Місяць тому
In this video, I'll repair a nice vintage watch from the 1970s. I bought it at a cheap price, but it has its reason. Let's find it out. The movement is Citizen 7210. For spec-wise, it's a beast for its age. The beat rate is 28800 vph and it has practical complications such as hacking seconds and quickset day/date. It seems difficult to find information about the movement. I hope this video can ...

Omega De Ville Cal.565 Full Service
Переглядів 1,9 тис.4 місяці тому
Greetings. Recently I bought an old Omega De Ville from the 1960s. The damaged dial tells its age. The Caliber 565 movement still looks brilliant, just a bit dirty. I'll dismantle, clean, and lubricate the movement. The Omega 565 would be the most respected vintage movement in Omega's history. Spec-wise, it's outdated, 19,800 vph, an old-style quickset date, and no "hack" feature for setting th...

Omega Quartz Cal.1330 Maintenance
Переглядів 1,2 тис.7 місяців тому
In this video, I will restore one of my favorite watches, a vintage 1970s Omega. Omega Cal.1330 is a popular quartz movement in the era, but I haven't seen any UA-cam restoration videos ever. Hope this video helps other watchmaking hobbyists. As a hobby, I have repaired over 50 watches over the past two years. This is the first watch I "restored" two years ago, but I only replaced a dead batter...
Rebuild a Vintage Watch - Omega Cal. 420
Переглядів 1,7 тис.7 місяців тому
In this video, I'll build a working watch using genuine vintage watch parts. Such a type of watch is called a "Frankenwatch" and is controversial. It looks like a genuine watch because it is made using genuine parts. It isn’t actually, if you expect it to be in its original condition. However, if you can get one for a good price, it won’t be so bad. I am always looking for donor movements for m...

Hi, in this video I'll service a vintage mechanical Swiss-made chronograph watch. It is running but seems not in use for years. Let's give it a full cleaning and fresh oil. The movement is Landeron 151. Landeron would be one of the most popular chronograph movements. It is not the best quality movement in the world, but it's affordable and fun to work on. Thank you so much for watching my video...

This time, we will work on a Seiko King Quartz from the 1970s. No dramas. The movement is Seiko 5855A, which is a high-quality quartz movement. This was priced higher than the mechanical movement model, King Seiko. At that time, quartz watches were a luxury item. Thank you for watching my video. I hope you enjoyed it.

Seiko LUKIA 5Y89 ladies watch from the 1990s
Переглядів 865Рік тому
This time, I have an urgent and very important mission, an SOS from my wife. She bought this watch over 20 years ago. Recently she changed the battery at the watch store, but it keeps losing time. Let's fix it! LUKIA was Seiko's representative watch in the 1990s. While most ladies’ watches at the time were small and slender, the model with sub-dials and the metal bracelet was reminiscent of the...
Seiko 5 7S26-3040 Maintenance
Переглядів 3,8 тис.Рік тому
This time, we will work on a popular Seiko movement, 7S26. No dramas. I made some amateur mistakes though. This is an entry-level automatic watch. Actually, it is solid and something more than the price. It has no manual winding system, but it won't be a problem as an everyday watch. Also, it will be an excellent entry-point movement for watch restoration practice. Seiko provides a comprehensiv...
