    Thanks for the video. So many other channels just show assembly and disassembly of watches. Your videos are far more informative and interesting.

    Great video Alex. How do you polish the center (2nd) wheel pivots? My jacot doesn't have any runners with grooves that are large enough to accommodate the pivots. I don't have a lathe either, so would you have any tips? Thanks!

    • @watchrepairtutorials
      @watchrepairtutorials  Місяць тому +2

      I believe you’re missing a spindle Sir. When these things were invented movement sizes were huge so large second wheels would’ve been common. I don’t know any other way.

    Great content as always, thank you Alex.
    They’re very hard to come by, but trueing calipers that will accommodate larger pivots do exist. Another highly skilled watchmaker I know in the US even has a set that will hold barrel arbours!
    Is that a Vallorbe steel burnisher you’re using? It looks very much like my Vallorbe.
    The reason I ask is that there seems to be a prevailing opinion online that the curved corner of the Vallorbe burnisher is too big to be useful for watch pivots and therefore the Bergeon carbide burnisher is to be preferred.
    Unless I’m missing something, I have no such problem with the Vallorbe. Perhaps they were made in both watch and clock sizes?

      Yea I have been kind of lazily look but have not run across any yet. I should check Bergen’s catalog I guess.
      It is, left hand. I have not heard any one say that and have not any troubles myself.
      I would not be surprised if there was a clock burnisher that some have purchased by mistake.
      Thanks for the good conversation brother.

    Great video, Alex. Thank you. I want to add a truing caliper to my toolset. I'm looking on eBay and wondered if you had any tips for things to watch out for, or avoid?

    • @watchrepairtutorials
      @watchrepairtutorials  Місяць тому +1

      Well as far as one for train wheels, all you can really do is make sure both the tips are present. Many times one or even both the tips have been removed so it’s pretty much useless.
      Also make sure the indexing bar and arm as well as the hold down screw for it are present.
      For balance wheels, I would just buy a new one.
      Those have jewels in them and if they are broken or cracked they are no good.
