I'm about to try replacing the roller jewel on my Waltham. This video had lots of great tips and I'm glad this is a subject you covered. The one about the smoothing broach holding the roller table may save my butt as I'm trying to get it into my combination tool. Thanks, Alex!
Just take your time you’ll get it. Good luck, brother
if you find a equal one, good luck
I just wanted to drop a thank you on this video. I've learned a lot from you, sir. Your presentation style is calm and methodical, making it very easy to understand. It's fantastic the help you give to people like me who really are just getting started. Thank you.
I know my style is not for everyone because people have different reasons for watching these videos so thank you.
Best Watchmaker context on UA-cam. Thanks again Alex.
Wow, thanks! I appreciate that Supercruze.
Hey Alex, I think he gave me some kudos in your list
Which list JD?
@@watchrepairtutorials Your Scrolling List
When I first started and saw your videos, I was like "when will that kind of work even be necessary to do?" Now, I say God bless you, man. You are like a saint in the watchmaking business😊
Love that!
Great video. I finally know how my inverto roller remover works. Thanks again for the lesson.
You're welcome Heath. I hope to do a lot more on the different repairs that are possible with the staking set
good info and well demonstrated. Thanks
Glad it was helpful!
Really great video, thanks. I like your very practical style, coupled with excellent camera work, in order to really get an idea of what to do, and what not to do. Your comment about the possible flicking of parts by the back of a hand is so right-on. This is so easy to do when you're using magnification. The other day I flipped a triangular parts tray that I had just emptied a small US cleaning container into with my wild pinky. Fortunately, it was the one that had the plate screws, and they were from a large pocket watch, so everything was recovered. But yeah, that stuff sure happens. BTW, I'd love to use denatured alcohol in my spirit/alcohol lamp but you can't find it anywhere in So. Cal. I think there were local laws forbidding the sales of it. Oh well...I'm sure there are good reasons. Thanks again. Cheers.
Yep. Don’t know why it would be banned. It burns clean.
Thank you Meister Alex. Learned something again.
Excellent
Thank you Alex for a great, informative video.
No worries my friend. No worries
Great lesson Alex.
Thank You Vincent. I hope it will help.
Great teaching video!! Please keep them coming!
Thank you! Will do!
Thanks for another great and informative video. Thank you Alex
My pleasure John
Very good video. It would also be interesting to see how you correct the beat error in this kind of balance without a moving stud.
You’ll see this watch again in a video where I’ll be doing that
@@watchrepairtutorials Thank you very much from Spain . You are a great teacher
@@alalv8617 funny! Another Spaniard here, coming to the comments sections to make that exact request! 🙌
Thanks.
Very great info
My pleasure David
great video thanks for the information
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you for teaching me how to do this tasks. I really appreciate it. Great video.
You are very welcome Juan.
That was very informative, to see the usage and metodologi of tool usage.
Excellent executed 👍
Glad you enjoyed it my friend 😀
I have a loose impulse jewel on a Felsa 690 movement, this video is brilliant. How do you get the reference point for the direction of the impulse jewel? Did you mark the balance wheel?
Yes, before removing the roller table mark its position on the balance wheel. Thanks Mal
Great detail. Best watch repair videos on UA-cam. You touch on subjects I’ve not seen anyone else do.
Thanks for reconfirming what I try to do here.
Great video Alex, Thanks. I'm not at this point yet, but I'm sure after have watched your video, I can do it!
The liquid shellac really makes it doable.
I really enjoy your videos! Could you point me to a video or webpage on how to overhaul a quartz watch? All I find is how to install a new quartz movement. I'd like to know how to disassemble it, oil it, and properly put it back together.
I don’t know of any specific for quartz, sorry. Mark may have some
So much good info and well demonstrated. Thanks!
Thanks Tim
Alex, an absolutely amazing video, so detailed and the in close video work that shows how it should be is awesome! Thanks again for your work here!
My pleasure Tom.
عمل جميل وممتع جدا ...

It is fun isn’t it?

Great teaching. Years of experience displayed for us. Our own private tutor. Thank you
Hey there Ross. Good to see you again. Thanks
Hi Alex
How exectly did yoy call the alcohol that you used to clean off the schallc?
Thanks for another important video.
Gal.
Denatured.
Mr. Hamilton, i watched your video on polishing the tweezers and screw drivers... did you make a video about the hand tools? Id love to have all my tools good to go... thanks
What exactly are you asking about hand tools ?
@@watchrepairtutorials the hand lever tools as you said you polished yours... sorry
@@gillandro2 yes, yes. I polish steel with a hard felt wheel and a polish compound like red rouge or Polinum.
Great video, might try this once I get a microscope and the guts to do it lol
You can do it!
Hi Alex!
Great video! Really liked the fine details you mentioned.
I am just very curious.. What watch are you wearing on your wrist in this video?
Its a Sugess with the ST1903
@@watchrepairtutorials
It has a moonphase, that should be ST1908
Been eyeing the Sugess Moonphase Master with ST1908 for a long time.. What is your opinion about it? Would be great if you could make a review video
@@harisbukhari3590 oh yes sorry, you are right.
Opinion, well I got it to make some videos on servicing chronographs because it’s an inexpensive movement to start off on.
Honestly I’ve been having some issues with it stopping for no apparent resizing so, I’ll be doing a video soon, to service it and look for the problem.
@@watchrepairtutorials
Eagerly waiting for the videos. Not much is available in terms of technical information about the ST1908
Me: "I wonder what I'll be in for when I encounter a screwed up impulse jewel." 10 hours later . . . BAM! Alex posts the video.
I can’t tell you how many times I hear a comment like that. That’s a good thing, right?
LOL. I bet you get this one a lot too: "I am getting SO MUCH more enjoyment out of this hobby because of your videos." Thanks, Alex!
@@PixelSchnitzel Thank you my friend. That means a lot to me.
A great video you saved the lives of many balances! the Best hint I found was making/ using is liquid shellack make that part much easer 😃👍
Thanks Amanda. It does make a big difference
❤👍
🤙
The very first watch I tried to work on, and never never did finish it, had a loose impulse jewel. (In case anyone wanted an example of the sort of advanced issues you might find yourself dealing with first thing if you start with vintage pocket watches, here you go.) I wish I'd had this video available at the time. It's much easier than the procedure I'd found in other videos, where they wanted you to touch a solid flake to the area while you have the heat on it. That liquid shellac is a game changer and lets you easily get the jewel in the right position -- and then keep it there -- before you warm it up.
It makes all the difference in the world. Thanks Chris
I have to replace the gasket in a square caseback. Is it OK to buy a round gasket?
You can if an original can’t be found but it can tricky to get the size right.
OK, thanks. I've been looking for a square one but haven't found it yet. Your vids are excellent.
@@watchrepairtutorials
How was beat error corrected before electronic timers?
Mostly by sight. I’m sure it was not as accurate as today but it would have been close enough not to cause any issues with the rate. What was more important were the deltas which could have been measured.
Hello dear teacher, I love your videos and I have learned a lot from you Make more clips on balance repair and dancers and make us happy May God protect you
Thank you, I will
Would the balance need poised before replacing mainspring?
Are you asking about the main or balance spring?
Sorry, I meant hairspring! 😊
@@mikebruegger8654 when you replace the double roller as long as you put the impulse pan in the same position as before, you should not have to re-poise the balance wheel.
Yes, the safety roller is not installed the way it was before. The balance will will be out of poise, but it would be easier to adjust the safety rollers position to reestablish poise than to do it by removing metal from the balance wheel

Hey I just subbed. I was a little disappointed that you did not show putting the watch back in beat because you had mentioned it after removing the hairspring collet. I have to guess that it went back into beat by luck or you ran out of time with your video and took care of it off camera
Sometimes I assume already know about be there, and that it should always be under 0.9 ms.
I’ll be more diligent about not leaving step out as it seems to confuse some.
Phew, you made it look easy Alex, great job, fantastic explanation! Lack of tools means I’m light years behind! What was the while stuff you used to mark the position? Ta.
White out.
After 40 years I will not use my brass hammer as much. Thank you
LOL . Right on Mark 👍
Цікаво 😊❤
Thank you my friend.
Hi Alex!
A novice question. If the objective is to remove shellac, why not use acetone? Isn't acetone better than alcohol for doing this?
And thaks for another great lesson! 😀
You probably could use it, but I already have IPA and denatured that I use for other things in the shop.
Looks Easy...lol
One of the easier repair jobs for sure.
Where's Alex? He supposed to be retired so he better be having fun once in a while.
I have one in the pipeline.
This video is a day late 😢😢
Or you tried to repair one day too early? 😀
