  • This time, I'm trying to restore a vintage Omega Geneve. This is sold at only $100 for parts for repair. Is it worth it?
    This is a kind of how-to video but I am not a watchmaker and doing this hobby for my watch. Please let me know if you have any advice or suggestions. Thank you!

    Nice job, thanks for posting. There is something about seeing an Omega stripped to its component parts that never gets old, marvellous Swiss engineering.👍

    Nice renovation, I’d say this watch was used and worn in a very high humidity environment but it still survived it well, good work putting some life back into it.

    Can I know what oil/grease do you use on the movement and do you use the same type for every service or restoration?

    • @vintagewatchtinkerer

      Yes, I use the same oil for all watches. I live in Japan so I use Citizen/Seiko oils (AO-2, AO-3, S-4, and S-6). For general hobby use, the minimum set will be a light oil (e.g., Moebius 9010) for jewels and medium/heavy oil (e.g., Moebius D5) for other metal pivots/contact points. For automatic movement, we also need a mainspring barrel breaking grease.

    I have the same watch cal. but mechanical wind isn't working? Is it hard to change that module?

    • @vintagewatchtinkerer
      @vintagewatchtinkerer  2 місяці тому

      It can be difficult because Omega doesn't provide module parts anymore. You'll need to find parts in Ebay.

    What is the rust remover you use?

    • @vintagewatchtinkerer
      @vintagewatchtinkerer  9 місяців тому

      It is something like Evapo Rust. Since I live in Japan, I used a Japanese domestic market product, Engineer ZC-28 liquid rust remover. It is Ammonium thioglycolate-based solution and it does not contain acid and alkali.

    • @vintagewatchtinkerer
      @vintagewatchtinkerer  7 місяців тому

      You can find a winding stem easily. The search keyword will be like "Omega cal 1012 Winding stem". Finding an original crown might be difficult. The part number must be "omega 42052". I wish good luck to you.

      I was able to find the winding stem but I couldn't gather any information about the crown size and model thank a lot

      Very good restoration. Did I miss the fitting of the hacking lever? Something could have been done for the dial like how you restored the case. Nevertheless, a great video.
