Change of damaged hairspring Part 2 START wrist watch made from a junk

In this balance wheel is a damaged hairspring. See how I’m changing it. This is part 2, an episode about three junk movements from which I’m going to make one that is working and make from it a START wristwatch.

Nice job! I like eastern block watches as you can repair them with anything you have. They are built to last.
While changing a hair spring I would only check a beat rate of the donor movement if it is the same value.

[@tickingWATCH]

Thanks. It is so indeed, and thanks for advice 👍

[@Strideo1]

Thanks for posting these videos!

[@tickingWATCH]

You're welcome 🙂

Delicate job, not an easy job to do. An interesting video, thank you for sharing! Stay Safe!

[@tickingWATCH]

Thanks, I really appreciate it 😀

[@DangerDIY]

Thanks for the video. Love the channel and this video was fun to watch. Thanks.

[@tickingWATCH]

Thanks, I really appreciate it 😀

I've been tempted several times to do the same thing, as I have balances with broken pivots and good hair springs and viceversa, and changing staffs are much more complicated and needs specific tools that I don't have. But I've always been said that it can't be done, as every hair spring is vibrated for a specific balance, so they are not interchangeable. I hope yours are!!!

[@tickingWATCH]

Could be it is so but I'm not going to win some accuracy competition with this one 😀

[@walther9161]

Very helpful!!!

[@tickingWATCH]

I'm really glad to hear that 👍

[@VWatchie]

I would suggest using a pair of (rocking) hand levers to remove the collet from the balance staff. It would be a lot safer as you don't risk slipping the screwdriver into the hairspring.

[@tickingWATCH]

Good idea! Thanks for your advice I really appreciate it

[@francoissalaun9843]

Nice!

Fajny sposób. Ja zawsze zdejmuje włos dwoma ostrzami od skalpela ;)

[@tickingWATCH]

Twoim sposobem nawet lepiej 👍 są nawet specjalne dźwigienki do tego

[@enriqueamador2075]

great!!!

[@tickingWATCH]

Thanks 😊

[@sgiruc]

Hi, I would like to thank you for Collector book I won recently. Received with thanks
Any chance could you do short video about replacing hands? On your tutorials all looks so easy, But for me it is not as I damaged few hands already.
One more thing, did you ever managed to fix broken pin on dial?

[@tickingWATCH]

Thank you, I'm glad that you like it can be done, maybe next moth 👍

[@dragonniz]

I wonder, is it possible to swap out the hairspring in an ETA 2892 with a silicon one from one of their modern longines movements?

[@tickingWATCH]

Rather not, the movement caliber have to be the same

[@dragonniz]

@@tickingWATCH thank you! That makes a lot of sense

[@geckos27]

I guess the watch will run much too fast or too slow with the new hairspring, because it's not suited for the different mass of the balance system. If not, it's pure luck.

[@tickingWATCH]

Probably you right, but let see how it will end. Just in case I have a spare movement which can go to this case 😀

[@maciejkaleta4518]

Czy ten włos który Pan wymieniał pochodził z Poljota?

[@tickingWATCH]

To był Zim, i Pobiedy też są identyczne

[@kacperek_77u]

NIGDY nie zdejmuje się włosa jednym śrubokrętem, bo można (co się właśnie uczyniło w tym przypadku) skrzywić oś balansu.
ZAWSZE dwoma, jak wskazówki.

[@tickingWATCH]

😀

[@dineshsrikar8758]

Where we can get hair spring

[@tickingWATCH]

Mostly together with the balance on eBay

[@richardtreem864]

I was under the impression that hairsprings weren’t interchangeable amongst balance wheels.

[@tickingWATCH]

have to be the same model / movement type

Cenny materiał na twoim kanale 🙂 dzięki twoim poradnikom, zegarek po moim pradziadku dostał nowe życie. Восток 17 камней Сделано В СССР 🙂 musiałem dokonać korekty tarczy zegarka, ponieważ sekundnik ocierał o nią, a i w dodatku wskazówka minut była wypadnięta z mechanizmu. Niestety gdy włożyłem juz mechanizm zegarka do koperty i delikatnie włożyłem koronkę, a następnie dokręciłem śrubkę blokującą ten mechanizm, nie działa ani naciąg ani ustawienie godziny, czy możliwe że zabardzo odkręciłem tą śrubkę? Jakie jest rozwiązanie tego problemu? Sam zegarek mozna nakręcić bez koronki ale to nie wygodne ☹️ Pozdrawiam cieplutko 🙂
Leci subik i łapka 🙂

[@tickingWATCH]

Ciekawa sprawa, wszystko wskazuje na to, że przyblokował się mechanizm nastawnika, możliwe że też wodzik wyskoczył ze sprzęgnika. Co do śrubki wystarczy ją poluzować i będziesz widział czy to ona jest przyczyną. Jedno pytanie czy mechanizm po nakręcenia działa normalnie?

[@k-a-seta3983]

@@tickingWATCH tak, wszystko działa, kręcąc trybikiem od naciągu sprężyny, naciąga sie normalnie. Co do śrubki to nie chce sie ona zakręcić do oporu tj kręci się i kręci i tak w koło Macieja. Napewno nie jest to zerwany gwint to wiem na 100%

[@manoharsmanohars7857]

I will take bend hair spring perfectly I am also a mechanical watches take any repairs stilnow thanking you

[@tickingWATCH]

You're welcome manohar s manohar s 😀

[@gwsjr1]

Did you just take a hairspring from one balance wheel and install it onto another?

[@tickingWATCH]

Yes but the sam movement /caliber type, with a different hairspring it will not work

[@gwsjr1]

@@tickingWATCH But hairsprings are mated with a specific balance. Youre not supposed take a hairspring off one balance and put it on another even if its the same caliber.
I've only been doing this a couple years and even I know that.

Takie coś mój tatuś robił ponad 30 lat temu i się . . . . Na internecie nie chwalił i robił to sprawniej i lepiej niż ty. Bez zbędnego gadania i tych komentarzy. Chcesz być w czymś dobry to mniej gadaj i mniej zagranicznych filmów a sam coś zrób. Sorry ale tak uważam. Chcesz coś pokazać albo się ... Pochwalić. Albo to jest twoje hobby i robisz to co lubisz albo na tym zarabiasz kasę i tyle bez pieprzenia
