    Hi Mathew, that was a nice surprise to see you working on a pocket watch instead of clocks though i do prefer myself working on clocks, but i am thinking of having a go at a watch. Great video and narration as usual look forward to what you do next.

      Thanks Paul! Yes, I dont repair watches professionally, only clocks so this is a bit of a distraction! Watches tent to do better on UA-cam so I thought this would be fun as the watch was relatively inexpensive in the first place. Thanks for the feedback. Matthew

    I view a lot of watch repair videos as I am starting out in the hobby, but this is the first video of yours that I have watched. Very informative and well edited. I must say that as I listen to you I can't help but think I am listening to a watch repair video narrated by Jon Richardson of 8 out of 10 Cats.... I don't know exactly why, maybe you two are from the same area?

    Hi! This Omega watch is interesting.
    " What Caliber is this Omega? "
    Since it would not be Caliber 40.6L Omega.
    I looked at the movement serial number of this Omega.
    It was manufactured in 1921.
    Thank you, very much. I'from Brasil.... Att. Lauro Elias - Brasil.

    Thanks for this great video Matt. I’m always interested in seeing issues pointed out and fixes. You didn’t really explain how you fixed the case hinge. How did you clean the hands? Don’t you get a headache cleaning by hand, your face is always over the fluids breathing in the fumes? I only need 5 mins around my cleaning fluids to get one! Looking forward to the next! Prefer watches to clocks🙂

    • @readrepairs
      @readrepairs  Рік тому +2

      Good point! I use a fume hood by Nederman, you don't see it in the vids but in practice there is some extraction between me and the solvent. I cleaned the hands by first by brushing like the other parts. If there is any rusting on blued steel, I use 0000 grade steel wool with microcrystalline wax. The bend the hinge back I trapped a thin piece of brass wire in the joint. Its a useful tip for a strained hinge.

    @johnmoorefilm Рік тому +3

    Thank you Matthew - can i ask : on screwdriver technique - you seem to slightly over-tighten , then back off? Is this a standard technique or are you feeling the bite of the metal and thus does metal hardness factor in applying the technique? Thank you

    • @readrepairs
      @readrepairs  Рік тому +1

      Thanks John. I don't really know where that crept in. I noticed I've been doing it a few months now. I suppose if I were to explain it, the first tightening is to seat the component and the second to tighten the screw as I want it. I find so many screws are over-tightened and in my normal day-job (repairing older clocks), this leads to damage such as stripped threads. It may just be an affectation so I wouldn't read too much into it! I only really noticed I was doing it more and more when I came to watch this video! Yours, Matthew

    • @mohamedameen1741
      @mohamedameen1741 Рік тому +1

      screws or any thing like when go to tighten you must stop at some point if go more will harm the threads in modern life it measure withsome tool had this option To measure the torque required for fastening, there are fastening tools with this characteristic -- I do not think in the field of watches - at least at that time - I want to make it clear that tightening the tightening - excessive - is not a desirable matter, as well as when tightening, especially in dealing with old devices sometimes when loosening a nut or A nail, it will be difficult, we increase the fastening a little, then we loosen it - in order to make sure when fastening that the nail - the nut is in its correct place - we go in the opposite direction of the fastening - unscrewing - then we fasten

    G'day Matthew,...."spirit base rinsing solution", i use a degreasing product called Mobilite, would that be compatible with the spirit you use?? I dip the pieces(apart from the pallet fork and balance wheel assembly) in 99.9% isopropyl alcohol after cleaning with mobilite, then straight into the dehydrator, which is set at 70 deg, 4 to 6 mins. Would you recommend a longer dry time, the parts are shiney, and not having a dull whiteish layer if i dont iso them. I have an old omega very similar, and i will do a service on it in the near future.
    A very good and comprehensive
    service, as always.
    Thanks very much.
    Mike.

    I notice that you have not removed or treated the rust. Could we have your thoughts on this?

    • @readrepairs
      @readrepairs  Рік тому

      Yes I just tent to remove loose material but fairly thoroughly. Beyond that I do no re-finishing or attempt to disguise old corrosion. By cleaning in oil based solvents and using products like micro-crystalline wax where possible (paraffin wax), given a reasonable environment, the rust will be stable. My job is in conservation so I tend to take a conservative approach. Hope this helps. Matthew
