An inspiring restoration and fix. Followed every tweezer and screwdriver movement with intensity. The commentary added to a great display of expertise.
Yes, I loosely followed the technical guide. I used light viscosity oil for cap jewels and medium viscosity oil for other metal-to-metal contact points.
Great video! I found one locally that is clean dial, original bracelet and clean movement working, he said send me a offer, what do yoi think is a ideal price? Only seen 6 on chrono24 on average 2800usd, what do you think is a good offer? Worried about it breaking :( since its a watch from the 70s, non lobster model, and if the tuning fork is broken does that mean it will not work at all as a normal watch?
Thanks! If it works with a nice dial, it won't cost less than $2,500. The value will not go down. If the tuning fork or its related parts break, it will no longer be possible to run. The only solution is to replace the part, but finding replacement parts is not easy.
@vintagewatchtinkerer thanks for the reply. He called me today and said he would be happy with 800 USD. He is strapped for cash and said nobody is really interested in buying it. He sent me a video of it working fine. Just the large second chronograph dial does not go back to 12 when re setting, the dial has a very small flake on number 1, nothing to crazy, just as you mentioned if it breaks really can't go through the hassle of getting it fixed, it runs now but as you know it's a second hand market, anything can go wrong at any given point.
A special tool seems to be required for adjustment. I tried an adjustment with tweezers, but I couldn't get the expected result. Anyway, I recommend not to trying it because it is for fine tuning. If the watch is running noticeably slow/fast, there might be another problem.
I'm too embarrassed to tell you though, I use my smartphone camera (8x zoom) with a standard eye loupe. This setup is quite difficult to work with, but it may actually be better than you think.
Definitely yes! It is an iconic watch and worth having. But the price range will be a bit too expensive. Also, if it breaks, repairing it is not easy as replacement parts are very difficult to find.. It would be a collectible rather than daily watch.
This is the Omega version of the ESA 9210 movement built under license from Bulova. So precisely speaking, Omega didn't develop it. Omega employed the movement.
Scusami cosa intendi per "gambo? " lntendi Asse di carica?" Rivolgiti in un negozio di fornitura per orologi portando con te l'orologio e chiedi il gambo e corona , ma non credere che è un lavoro che potrai fare tu, non è una cosa difficile ma per uno che non ha nessuna esperienza può essere difficile, attenzione che potrebbe essere rotto il fermo che blocca l'asse di carica
@@NICOLA9489 in realtà so come riparare un orologio, ne ho una collezione, ma vengo dall'India ed è impossibile trovare pezzi di ricambio per questo orologio qui perché è un pezzo molto raro in India
Orologio che io ho smontato completamente come hai fatto tu che non mi sembra un lavoro da non professionista, anzi uno dei più difficili in circolazione, comunque che problemi aveva che non funzionava?
Thanks. The center wheel was stuck so I polished and oiled the pivot. Also, the click jewel of the tuning fork was missing, and I replaced it with a good one. Adjusting the position of the clicks was challenging for me. I practiced with the broken one before working with the good one.
Hi, I don't understand why you didn't transfer it to the original base and just mount another one. It's not the original Omega anymore, it's a foldable. I personally take the parts and always assemble them as they should be, i.e. in the original Longines, Zenith xl and Omega
That's true, but actually, I had some concerns about using the original plate because I saw some unusual damage on the plate. After posting the video, I bought another Omega plate and assembled a working "Omega" movement for the watch. I still have the original plate so I can replace it later if needed.
i did not knew there where battery power mechanical watches , this one is beautifull , great vid , thank you

This is how the professionals do it.
Gigantische Reparatur, aus wie viel Einzelteile besteht diese Uhr?
Auf alle Fälle perfekte Reparatur 🌟
Thank you! Actually, the number of parts is less than a typical mechanical chronograph watch. It was fun to work on it.
@@vintagewatchtinkerer Danke für die Information😉
Did you do any oiling to this watch, I also didn't see any stone's 😮

What a good deal! I’m so jealous.
hello how do you regulate the watch I noticed on the bottom of movement a plus and minis sign. Thanks

Can you say what type of microscope you use for your work? Thank you.

Unique watch
I like this watch, do you recommend getting one?
Definitely yes! It is an iconic watch and worth having. But the price range will be a bit too expensive. Also, if it breaks, repairing it is not easy as replacement parts are very difficult to find.. It would be a collectible rather than daily watch.
Omega made a tuning fork movement ?

hey i had found a old omega geneve that belonged to my grandad but it has a missing keyrod stem and crown can you provide me with one please help me
Sorry, I'm not a professional watchmaker so I don't have spare parts. Omega Geneve is a very popular watch so most watchmakers will have the parts.
