A Viewer Sent Me His Watchmaking Mishap, Can I Salvage the Project?

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

Marshall receives a package from a viewer containing two disassembled watches. The viewer bought them as a beginner watchmaking project but damaged the first movement then lost the video he took showing how to reassemble the second! He piles them all in a box and sends them to Marshall to do his best to recover the project!

    This reminds me of electronics technical school when the guys next to me in the lab said the instructions to breadboard a simple AM radio circuit were incorrect as they couldn't get it to work. The instructor sat down and pieced it together from the instruction diagram and showed that it worked on the scope. The guys thought they lucked out and had it built for them. The instructor then pulled everything off the board and put in a pile and said "OK. Now you know it can be done. You guys do it". It was beautiful. I thought they were going to cry. :)

Please know that the sound of your voice and engaging narration, not to mention your amazing talent and skill at watch making brings me much comfort.

I love to see you tackling challenging projects and how you problem-solve. I was half hoping you woukd take this one apart again, and then, boom! As a former Teacher, loved the didactic approach! Also, I see you wearing different watches, would love to hear about your own watch collection sometime. Or if you could take about your favourites.

    Many people go for cheap movements because if they don't repair it, they didn't lose much. It's GENERALLY regarded in the watch community that POCKET watches are the best for your first fixup. Just because of the bigger parts. I have found that watches are too small for me right now, and have been going for small pin pallet pocket clocks instead. Yesterday I got one that wouldn't start the previous night and got it to start but it would stop. So yesterday I stripped it down and it's running beautiful right now. Just trying to set the timing right on it because it was gained 7 minutes just yesterday afternoon and last night.

    What you did for that fledgling watch repair hobbyist was so Super Cool, I can not express my happiness at the outcome. You even managed to further blast my mind to pieces, when you sent it back to him in pieces, AFTER you successfully assembled and got it running. I think with your many other video's, of showing where to oil and grease the parts of the movement and the gems, Clint ? can properly oil and lube the watch as he assembles it for good this time. I hope you get a email, or letter from him, letting you know how well the watch is working, maybe, with a few pictures of the watch with a band, all ready to wear. OH .. By the way .. The NEW crystal ? That was a very mentor, old sage thing, to do for him. You are as good a person at heart, as you are a watch repair/restorer. God Bless you for what you do. Cheers from Michigan. P.S. I thought I would relate my one and only attempt at learning about time pieces. When I was but 8 or 9 years old My parents got me a wind up alarm clock, the kind with the two big bells on the top, with the metal clangor that rang back and forth between them. Very old school. It had to be wound every day, and it was not very good at keeping time. ONE day, when I was sorta left alone in the house, I had the bright Idea to see what made clocks work, and took apart my alarm clock, piece by piece. LOL .. I never was able to get it back together, as I had no clue where anything went. When My Dad got home from work, I just knew I was going to get the whooping of my life ( it was back when kids still got spankings for times they really messed up.). When I finally worked up the courage to tell my Dad what I had done, he smiled at me, and asked me, if I was going to try again to put it back together, he said he would help me if he could, but that clocks and watches were very complex, and people who fixed them have to spend years and years, learning how to disassemble and reassemble them correctly. I was in shock that I was not going to have to get my rear end taught a lesson. We both never did get that clock back together again, but it was fun, as we both tried to figure it out. Later in life, I learned to do a lot of things thanks to my Dad's patience with me, as I learned the things he was able to teach me. I miss him ... he went to sleep in 1999, Alzheimer's took him away from me, a few years before that.

    Ok, I don't really comment on youtube videos but I love that the watch was sent back in pieces. I know the "in over your head" feeling when working on someone else's project though. When I was 16 I got a ford van with the motor spread out in pieces in the back. We didn't have internet at the time either. I put it back together by simply knowing generally what the parts should do and we drove it for about 100k miles. It was definitely rewarding.

    This was awesome, even tho I was a bit sad you didn't put the assembled watch onto your timekeeping accuracy meter thingy. Would've loved if you showed that, as it would probably be quite bad, but would really show the awesomeness of your other projects - like putting a 'regular' marathon runner in the olympics once in a while.

(Think HVAC and plumbing work.) It is easy today to be a great DIY-er with KZread helping you get it done, however, it makes it easy to forget how well we can figure stuff out on our own, sometimes.

I don’t think it had more than a few jewels (maybe none) and it used a pin pallet escapement rather than the usual pallet fork. The watch came apart easily, but reassembly was incredibly difficult because the pivots just didn’t want to go back in the plate holes. So I feel your pain! And watch out for Roskopf “simple” movements!
