Great video. I'm a Bulova Accutron graduate since 1970 and have repaired & restored Accutrons as well as this ESA tuning fork movement ever since. May I suggest that using an antimagnetic tweezer rather than using a brass tweezer, which are very easy to get. Standard tweezers are made of carbon steel which is magnetic. Antimagnetic tweezers are Stainless steel which is non magnetic. Brass tweezers are not fine enough and the points bend very easily. Still trying to locate that great movement holder..
Hi. I just want to say a very gratefull thank you. I'm still educating myself on the movement and gathering the courage to get to work, but your video will be a reference for sure. Also, thanks a million for the 3d printer files on your website. Amazing work you've done. I'll let you know the outcome of my service on my watch.
@Biombo3 I’m trying to obtain the 3D print .stl file for the 9162 resonator module holder, but the original website appears to be offline. Would you be able to share it with me please?
Ich liebe Uhren mit schleichender Sekunde ❤ Grad heute auf ricardo eine Certina mit einem Stimmgabelwerk gekauft...wesentlich günstiger als ne Grand Seiko, aber Hauptsache der Sekundenzeiger schwebt übers Ziffernblatt 😁
U are amazing sir . U make very informative videos . These are not just videos . These are education . I really appreciate it. please keep it up sir ❤️ big thanks on my part
Thank you for the video, I love it too, a common problems and solutions video would be awesome too, some common problems I come across and don't know the causes (1) humms but second hand doesn't move (2) while time setting, the seconds hand moves with the minute hand - especially the first one is a show stopper, when the electronics work yet the seconds hand just never engages
Please post the assembly video if you have one. Also I have a question, how do you lubricate the index wheel and the fingers, specifically, the jewels on the fingers and the teeth of the index wheel. I think it will be the same oil as used on the conventional pallet jewels, but I'm afraid of using too much oil as those teeth are so microscopic, they can easily be flooded with oil.
Great video, very informative.. I have got 3 scrap ones to practice with. I think that I will need to replace the transistor and capacitor on at least one of mine. I wonder if you know of replacement part numbers? Thanks again, I am hoping that you follow up with more new videos - It was great to watch.
Hi, if you are still active it looks like your website is no longer up? Could you maybe upload the files for the movement holder on another platform like Thingiverse? I imagine it would help a few people over the years. Otherwise it's fantastic video, it's hard to find info on these movements. I have a Tissot watch with the same movement that doesn't seem to run but with this video I feel a lot more comfortable with opening it up
Again, thank you - but I really need to see an assembly video of all parts and showing lubrication. PLEASE, PLEASE!! Also, the link to your website is broken, the site does not appear to exist.
Should slacken resonator screws and ease it off mounts with screwdriver blade in the recess provided at the upper end of the mount--Defo dont lever fork mount as you did to remove it, you'll upset all the fork jewel pre-position and pressures, and could also seriously affect its rate. You want to loosen resonator/fork Before removing coils or you risk destroying coils on resonator cup sharp edges..... --These coils cost lots--do you Really want to risk wrecking them? Ive done Loads of these--just a tip you learn along the way....
Hi, thank you for your comment. Yep it wasn't the best method but to be honest I never had such a stubborn one. I never pull on the fork itself and was lifting below the base. I am undecided regarding the second advice. Usually I move back the fork a bit and the coils can be removed rather nicely, will give your method a try.

Hello, sir! Can you say, is the indexing wheel in esa91/92 series the same as in CEH B-21?
Thank you for posting this video, very well done. I also very much need to see an assembly video of one of these watches please, have you done one?
Superb work.
Amazing video, thank you for making this!

Hi, where can I download the 3D printer model of the ESA 9162 movement holder?

Where can the 3d print files for the resonator fixture be found?

I will try to make one but i am rather busy right now.
