- ANOTHER SWATCH TUTORIAL HERE: • ⌚ The most complete SW...
It seems that at least some Swatch Irony watches can be opened up and even repaired with minimal tools and some patience.
I APOLOGIZE THAT I DID NOT FILM IMPORTANT STEPS, AT THAT PARTICULAR MOMENT I DID NOT HAVE ENOUGH TIME AND I FILMED WITH A MOBILE PHONE SO I DID NOT USE A TRIPOD. I WILL MAKE A MORE IN DEPTH VIDEO SOON.
Hello. I am looking for the stem for this watch but I can't seem to get a confirmation of which movement is in this watch. I assume it's ETA but I don't know which one. Could you please let me know?
Sorry, but I do not have this information. You could try to send an email to Swatch themselves.
@@UltimateDIY Thank you for getting back to me. Does it not have the movement numbers on the back of the movement?
@@evelcustom9864 it probably has, but if it's not shown in the video, I do not know it.
@@UltimateDIY ok, well thank you again for getting back to me.
I really like how brave you are coupled with your cavalier attitude that you may or may not be able to fix it. Fascinating fun and instructive video.
Thank you! :)
I followed the key points in your video and was able to repair a very old swatch chronograph. A problem I had was the parts the winding stem was connected to. When I removed the slice to access the motor, the pins were attached to the slice and the pusher pins etc all came out of alignment and the slice couldn't close back. Had to open up another slice to expose those parts and reposition the parts.
To open the bezel, my watch blade was too thick and it couldn't go below the bezel. I used a paper cutter and position the blade between the bezel and the case, then tapped the blade firmly with a litle hammer to force the bezel apart slightly. After that, my watch opener blade could be used to open up the bezel.
To remove the crystal, i removed the battery, put a chopstick thru the hole and tapped the back of the chopstick to push the movement/crystal out from the back.
Thanks once again for making this tutorial!
Perfect! Glad my video helped! :)
Thats exactly my model of swatch. Good to know what is inside it, thank you.
Welcome! :)
Thank you for sharing your experience! I was looking for a possibility to open a swatch (SCUBA). This motivates to try it - at least. Thumbs up!!!
Thank you for watching! Hope it works out for you!
Переводной вал просто выдергиваем!!!!! Инфа 100%
I finally got the bezel off!!! 😂😂😂. Thank you!
Welcome!
Wow...look at this..
U r skipping all the important parts of the video
+Ritesh Singh fixing such delicate parts while recording is not as easy as many think. If I would have 2 or 3 watches and afford to break some of them just to show in detail how to fix it, I would do it, but I only had one that I 100% needed to fix. The maine purpose of the video was to show that altough this watches are not designed to be serviceable, they can still be fixes with a minimum of tools and skill. But in the future in similar situations I will do my best to at least leave the camera rolling from an angle that does not bother me and hope that it catches the action.
Thank you for this tutorial, it's great I was able to restore my irony.
But a worry, I can not put the ring back.
I've been on it for hours, nothing to do, impossible to put back the cache. What is going on?
thank you
Welcome! :)
That is really hard to put back. You need to work on it from one point and when there is just a small area where it does not want to pop in place you need to force it in place with small pliers or something. Jost be careful to not scratch or crack the glass.
If you still can't put it in place, maybe file it down a little, but just a little and I mean a little, jut enough that in pops in place, but it's not so big that it does not stay in place.
hi can it be done on the "Irony retrograde" (one with the flat glass)? Not sure if the guy at the service is too lazy to do it, or if it cannot be done at all. Many thanks!
Hi. Sorry, but I never worked on that model, so I can't give you an answer.
keep up with the good work (y)
+Youssef DAK!NG CSGO & More thank you for you support! :)
I have a similar swatch that has a 1/100 sec dial (upper Right) that doesn't work. It kind of wiggles a little when you press the buttons. The watch hasn't been run for like 8 years, so it may be gummed up. My understanding is that it has an ETA G10 movement, which is a basic plastic movement. However it is also in many other more expensive watches, such as Tissot. It is crazy to me how Swatch doesn't have a conventional caseback to open their $200 Irony watches so you can service or replace the movement. I also have a 3-hand Irony that also had problems with stopping after about a year. Don't think the base plastic ETAs are very reliable, which is strange since they are priced like Seiko's and Citizens which seem to be more reliable. I hate how you have to toss the watch when it has problems. Although you were able to fix yours in a way, I don't think it's practical to go to so much work for such a watch!
Some of the designs are nice however, like this Chronograph. Similar to the Omega Moon watch!
Yes, it is a pain to fix them and I only did it because I am really stubborn. Also if they make something so bad and cheap that will fail really quick, so you buy another, for sure I will find a way to fix it, just to not play their game.
@@UltimateDIY You know the Japanese have never been very good at making hi end watches, and the Swiss have never been very good at making low end watches! It's just not their thing, but they were forced to do it to compete.
Just look at all those plastic Swatch watches made by robots that still are very expensive for what they are, but still don't last very long. And Tick very noisy. That's why they concentrated on all the fun designs and styles. And that's why you don't see base plastic ETA Quartz movements in many non-Swatch group brands. Ronda seems more reliable for less money, probably because they use mostly Asian parts assembled in Switzerland. The Swiss rules don't count electronic parts in the "Swiss Made" calculation, so they are able to get away with just adding a few Swiss gears to it.
great video, nice to know
+Ivo Pinjuh thank you! Glad you liked it! :)
Wow,Very Impressed A Great Task A+
Thank you!
I am now convinced that you can fix anything; can you mend a broken heart?
Well...that is the only thing out of my league :))
went to a watch repair shop with my 2007 swatch.. They told me it cant be repaired cuz you cant open it. and here you are..
Sadly, it's just too time consuming for them.
it is only with the attempt that we learn
+iuseto lovemilk true :)
Sorry but the most important steps are missing. Not much value.
True, but I really needed to fix that watch, so I could not handle any distraction while working, in those days. If I get a new one like that be sure you will get to see win or fail.
I'm going crazy! I removed the adjustment crown very carefully but when I put it back it does not work correctly: it always remains in the time adjustment function and consequently the swtatch does not start. Is there a particular way or position of the time and date to be set before inserting the crown?
I don't remember one particular way.
Looks like the "Keyless works" and the pusher pins came out of alignment. Open up the movement slice, put the tiny bearing and the crown gear on the winding stem, seat it properly in the movement before putting the slice together.
If it is done properly, put battery in then push the winding stem all the way in. The winding stem has to be fully pushed in for the swatch to start.
Once everything is working, pull out the winding stem and put the movement/hands etc back into the case. Push winding stem in, test to make sure that the watch is still ticking, then close up the crystal and bezel.
Hello, can swatch Irony sistem51 be repaired in 2021. Even if its a replacement of the movement is it possible?
Hello. I think the same applies. Somehow tbe bezzel needs to be removed.
Can Swatch skin series repairable?
After spending a couple of hours trying to put the front back on I watched this video.Then it came to me.I cut a piece of 1 1/4 plastic pipe and placed it over the bezel.One sharp tap and it went straight in.Problem solved.
+Steve Gadd perfect! Well done!
Could you tell me wide strap measures? I think is 22 mm but not sure . Thanks
It's best to measure on your own watch. They use a few different variants.
how many mm is the battery cover ? i need buy one but i don t know wich one ....
You can measure the hole in the watch.

How to remove glass! That's why I'm watching at the first place 🤨
Remove the battery, put a chopstick thru the hole, then tap back of the chopstick firmly to push out the movement/crystal from the back.
Ты бы, дядя Полак, подробнее рассказал, как вал вынимал, а не корявил бы английский:)
Yeah man, awesome...wow...cool stuff pffff
+10nutz413x :D
Bro i realy need to know the price of that watch cuz my dad had the same one, then he lose it and today i found it so i need to know the price
I have no idea. Try to search on eBay for what they sell for.
Machine assembled unless you have an automatic. Also the movements use heat to gently machine peen the pillars together, however there are cheater methods you can use a super small drill bit and gently drill the peens off then use epoxy to put it together, do not use tapping screws. At the manufacturer this was all computer machine assembled.
The only thing that bothers me is that because of this, they should be really, really cheap, but they are not.
@@UltimateDIY yeah they're not anymore. I've had issues with a Swatch outlet store. I wanted the Irony Sistem 51 tux, because the dial looks like the Omega Seamaster deep blue divers ( but it's a different color). First they told me $198 with tax. Went back the next day to buy it. The price jumped to $305 with tax. They told me the sale was over, but they didn't take the signs down. Second they didn't take master card only Visa. Which was odd. They were really ignorant to me.
Wow, bad, bad, bad...
What diameter the glass is?thx u
Sorry, but I don't know.
Hello.please i have casio g shock DW5600 old model.i need to change battery every 2 month.wath is the problem?please help me
Hello. Are you using good brand batteries like Varta or Renata?
@@UltimateDIY yes i try renata and varta.
Could be some corosion inside the mechanism that is eating up power.
@@UltimateDIY thanks
What is the diameter size of a glass??
There are many glass sizes for Swatch watches. You need to measure yours, to be sure you get the right one.
Unable to put the bezel back...help
I have found no simple way for putting back on.
My best bet is like I answered in another question below:
You need to work on it from one point and when there is just a small area where it does not want to pop in place, you need to force it in place in that area with small pliers or something (have the watch covered in cloth under the pliers). Just be careful to not crack the glass or scratch it even trough the cloth.
If you still can't put it in place, maybe file it down a little, but just a little and I mean a little, jut enough that in pops in place, but it's not so big that it does not stay in place.
Maybe use just a tiny bit of grease or oil?
Good job man you are better than swatch company maintenance group
+Anwar Alami thank you! :)
Luckily my swatch doesnt have that bulk up glass.Those bulk up glass so ez to catch a scratch.
yes, sadly they are easily scratched and the fact that the plastic is really weak does not help at all...
Es normal que hagan mucho ruido?
I'm absolutely gob smacked.. 🤔🔥
Они феном нагреваются и нормально разбираются.
tengo exactamente el mismo modelo
+Rafael Gutierrez it's a nice one :)
tnx but why and why..
so what...why dont look when quit every part
+valpatelo not really sure what you meant to say
sorry..
Nagrerepair bkyo ng swatch automatic bos
Bunları nasıl çıkardığın gizli tutulması gereken bir bilgi galiba 😂
Buna treaba!
Multumesc! :)
Obvously it is a dissposable watch no screw in the movement.
Yes.
bravo vere. ai facut-o si p-asta. astia de la Swatch o sa sudeze coroanele de acu' incolo
+Lorant Sebok gasim noi solutie si pentru aia :)))
Ai făcut o afirmatie de mă amuza maxim.am urmarit si alte comentarii.e unul care îi mulțumește pentru impulsul de a-si strica ceasul.Chiar am râs pe bune.
вот это да....
:)
I have a problem with my watch, the battery only lasts one day
There might be corrosion inside it and that consumes the battery.
@@UltimateDIY works fine. it does not fail the problem is that the battery only lasts one day
And this is what I'm thinking could be the reason.
думал мутко за кадром коментирует и не ошибся....

You don't show anything!!
I agree, it was not a good decision to stop the camera from filming, even if it would have made my work way, way harder. But from this to "not showing anything" there is a long way.
I BROKE MY SWATCH THANKS TO YOU!!! during disassembly(because you didnt show us how to remove the electronic part

+sandro mikadze no, you broke it thanks to you! If my video did not have the information that you required you should have searched for another video.

Vaya vídeo, no enseña nada. Gracias
Another one that does not understand I was doing this for the first time and had 1 single chance to do it right.
You just don't have the patience to listen to what I explain in the video and take everything for granted. I could have not posted the video and then you would not even know the f#cking watch can be opened.
mucho bla,bla,bla,bla, y no se ve como se le quita el vidrio,,,,,habla menos y ponte a trabajar, pero que se vea como lo desarmas, porque no se entiende nada
I explained why I did not film while I worked on the watch, but you as many others did not care about that explanation.
very very bad, do not let the Swiss see this video
No worries, they would not touch such a watch.
better change the title, being stupid for buying used goods
Buying used goods is never stupid. Selling a defective product is.
Buying all new all the time will bring the planet to it's knees.
Very bad prononsiation
Are you watching for english lessons?
@@UltimateDIY No, but I'm just learning English)))
Then you should watch more of the native english speaking channels.
@@user-dx5ud1sh6q I'm a native english speaker and understood every word.
Una porquería,no muestras nada,no sirve
Pff, da, clar, ca nu am zis destul de clar de la inceputul videolui de ce nu pot sa arat tot. Dar va doare in cur, ca urmariti doar pe sarite.
