    Nice! Amazed at your ability to reform a spring while it’s still in place and between the pins, pretty sure it would end badly if I tried that.

      Thank you. I still remember many years of practice in 2005 or 2006 when I first started adjusting hairspring, Now it's a muscle memory to me but I was concerned about using shoddy homemade tools when dealing with a mainspring. I didn't have a proper tool at that time. I'm just happy that I got a good result in the end.

      Hello
      Mind you, I have three different lathes for various jobs. If you want the specific one shown in this video, The lathe I used is Pultra 10 (8mm) They are great for medium to small work. I do recommend it. I hope this helps.

    Hello,can i ask you, which camera do you use for video ? İs it microscope camera?

      Hello
      For filming hairspring and lathe work. I used Andonstar AD09 Microscope. It's good equipment but I don't use it anymore. It was temporarily used at home work during the COVID-19. I use Durston Professional Jewellers Microscope in my workshop.
      I hope this helps.

    That little box looks like it once housed a wheel cutter. Where do you get hairsprings from?

    • @watchmakerspecial516
      @watchmakerspecial516  5 місяців тому

      I got it from a retired watchmaker. That was 15 or 20 years ago when he gave it to me. Now I'm running on low with hairsprings. Thanks.

      Sorry but forgive me, I don't know what you mean by that? What is Pibor? I google search it and doesn't explain anything. I assume the language barrier was misunderstood between us.

    I've got the same watch as this (omega 30t2) and the hairspring was completely destroyed, you mention in the video a overcoil hairspring is impossible to find and you are correct on that, for 6 years, i have not found one watchmaker or even omega accreditor who can repair my omega with new hairspring to make. even omega authorized service centres does not have spare omega hairspring. Would you be willing to repair my omega with a new hairspring like you did in this video? I'm from the US by the way.

      Hello Jake
      Thank you for watching the video, we can help you make a new hairspring. I'm sure we do have it now in stock for the original Omega 30T2 overcoil hairspring. If we don't then we must service your Omega 30T2 calibre first before we make a new hairspring and adjust the timing screws for better timekeeping accuracy. However, it will be at least four to five months of waiting time, due to long backlogs to complete. If you are happy with that, please privately message me for further requires.
      Thank you.

      Hello, you contacted me regarding springs for 30t2. and you sent this link. friend, springs for 30t2 are generally available and cheap, there is no point in making them. the cheapest option is a few pounds, ebay is full of parts for 30t2 and 26x 28x calibres, the spring is the same. In general, the whole balance is the same

      I already sent the email to watchmaker specialist and they did say they have the original omega 30t2 hairspring from a donor watch now. Should be okay now.

      Thank you, do not worry, We have the original spare overcoil hairspring now for the customer. This was done during Covid-19 back in 2021. We didn't have spares at that time and I wasn't able to order one, same for the Fourth wheel and this is why we had to make one instead.
      Kind regards.

    No burnishing of the pivot?

    • @watchmakerspecial516
      @watchmakerspecial516  7 місяців тому

      Hello, Thank you for watching. Yes, I did burnish and polish the pivot to create resistance to wear over time You may have missed the description in the video that I mentioned that there is no video of me doing burnish and polish but I did it off the camera. Now I wish I had included in this video to be honest.
      Kind regards
