    Thank you so much for doing these. You are really passing on a dieing skill. My father was a watchmaker I'm certain he'd appreciate it were there one more watchmaker left.

    just subbed and liked. My Elgin was my Great, Great Grandfather's and is a G.M. Wheeler from 1873. I just disassembled it and have another parts movement on the way. I'm going to try to get it back together and running on my own so these videos are a big help.

    Unfortunately I learned the hard way about assembling it upside down and popped the pinion off of the pallet fork. Test fitted upside down and it went together perfectly. Hindsight’s 20/20.

    I just picked up one of these for only $5 today and plan on cleaning it/getting it running. What was the cleaning solution you used in your ultrasonic cleaner? Can I just use normal dish soap or are there somethings that I should look out for?

      The dial/movement combination was made for a hunting case Open face cases normally have the clutch located at 12:00. Hunters at 3:00

      Sorry, my German isn't good, If you go to the gear like icon (settings), you can change the playback speed to slow things down.
