Good work ! This is what a service video should be like.

This video deserves more views.Thank you so much for doing it. I was in a fortunate position to buy an 1861 last month and didn’t realise how much work went into one. The chrono minute hand on mine is a tad to the right when zeroed but I’ve been told this is within tolerance. After watching this video I now realise how good that is as it stands.My OCD can relax somewhat. Thanks again.

Hello Peter, the Omega tools are indeed beautiful and it is very nice to work with. They cost me a lot of money, but they are worth it and I will take good care of it. The reassembly will take a while because I'm still waiting for some spare parts but it will come.

That’s mind blowing. I can’t believe I have all that on my wrist. Except mine as an 1861.

This is exactly what I wanted to see!

great video!

I have a Speedmaster so this was extra interesting. All the tools you have must have cost a lot, and it’s nice to see them used properly. Thanks for sharing.

I watched this video with deep interest, as the 2nd owner of a 1969 Speedy MKII. But (no offense to the makers of this video), I muted audio in favor of a soundtrack from "Pandit Ravi Shankar - sitar - Raga Yaman Kalyan - 1974." The combination is spiritual revelation. I extend by deepest heartfelt gratitude to the makers of this video. And of course to Ravi and his crew. In both cases, the massive applause at the end of this audio track is equally due to both craftspeople, especially The Watch Doctor.

Thanks for the tremendously informative video!

My boss, the self proclaimed watch guru, doesn't even put plastic between face and hands even removing them. Uses the same tweezers he uses for soldering, mixes screws. Extra glue for crystals that don't quite fit, then tells me I'm acting like a know it all trying to show him videos like this. I would love to do work like this with like minded people, but I'm too old for anyone to hire at this point. I'm self taught so still need refining, and after potential employers see where I've worked they won't touch me, especially since I've quit that same place three times because i refused to be physically pushed around or sale moissanite s as diamonds. Sorry had to vent. Great work, excellent attention to detail, clean bench. Great video

When I saw how badly that case back gasket looked I thought, that hasn't been looked at for decades but it all looked pretty good

Any idea how many times this watch has been serviced throughout the years? It’s interesting to see various scratch’s and gouge marks from previous service hidden under parts where you use a special tool or scratch free plastic tool to remove. Great video!

Love this content, subscribed immediately. I just want to know how difficult to service this 186x movements ! And how reliable they are ?also speaking of omega what is your thoughts on 8800 movements how reliable and easy to service compared rolex calibers !

very interesting! is the lemania 1873 in a 1998 Heuer the same as this one? especially the glucydur balance? thank you!

Hello, could I just remove the steel caseback to my Speedy and install the see-through caseback, or are there extra parts/pieces required?

Thank you for excellent review. I watch your restoration videos with very pleasure. I just want to ask a question. On the crystal, is there any gasket? I m asking this for validate my mechanical watch crystal. we get used to see gasket as a very thin, black and rubber object that encircle the case. Is there any other version of gaskets. I really don't know if i have gasket on my watch because of this reason. It seems like this Omega's Thanks.

My Omega speedmaster professional barrel arbor have some issue I think winding barrel spring is broken, on winding it works upto 8 hours or less. Please suggest me solution..

That is amazing work. As a craftsman and as a tool aficionado I am deeply jealous of your skill set and the tools you use. Just curious, what does a service such as this cost? Thank you for your work, and all the best from Washington State!

Hello Eric, thanks for your comment :-). A service like this starts from 750 euro (921 dollar) and the customer receives a 2-year warranty.

As a very new owner of a Speedmaster, this video is fascinating. I DO want to know where I can get the tool you used to extract the crown (about 1:10 into the video), which looks like it might help me with the daily wind... please can you tell? thanks!

Where would I find the omega pusher tube tool?

Nice video but I would have preferred the Strip down to be done on Caliber 321, not on the 861. The 861 have been used by the Speedmaster since 1968-69 with, except for the addition of one extra jewel=1861, the same until now that the Co-Axial 3861 was introduced. The 321 has somewhat different features like that Column wheel that the 861 has.

@jorgerobles628

Sorry, I clicked comment instead of clear- It had to read at the end - the 321 is a column wheel but not the 861 that is a switching cam.

Отлично

@therealwatchdoctor what is the part number of the tool used for the driving wheel at 5:49

Looks incredible. My speedy is 15 years old now and runs fine but I'm thinking of having it serviced, however my experience working within the motor trade has left me with a distrust of even the most competent mechanics. How would you know its been done. It's not as though you're going to be able to tell.

What's the name of the music? Great video by the way

I have a Speedmaster myself so it was fascinating to see what’s going on inside. Amazing video! Very interesting to watch! I do have one question tho: Why were there so many scratches on the inside of the movement (I believe it was mainly the barrel bridge). Like all around the various drilling holes and even just across the surface of the different plates inside the movement. Did they get scratched during production or is that something that might indicate someone unqualified having serviced the movement before?

Also is there any chance that you could maybe do a video on the 3132 by Rolex? I have an OP and would love to be able to see more of the inside and what it’s actually made of. There’s no videos on KZread so far.

@therealwatchdoctor

3 жыл бұрын

Hello Levitation, It is a watch from 1969 and it has undoubtedly been serviced by some maintenance, the scratches on the barrel bridge are also from wear and tear, because dried oil and grease can cause a lot of resistance and subsequently affect the metal. The scratches certainly do not come from the production, that should not be from the quality of Omega.

Hello Roland, I put 1861 in the title to be found better in the search results. The main difference between Caliber 861 and Caliber 1861 is that the newer movement features rhodium-plated parts instead of the previous copper-plated and un-plated parts.

@@therealwatchdoctor Hi, I bought my my Omega Speedmaster in 1968 or 9, I can't remember the exact date but it was a 21st birthday present to myself. I bought it from a jewellers shop called Max Martin and sons and paid R91 South Africa Rands in those days (the equivalent of about £48! It cost me my entire months salary and doing odd jobs for neighbours and my parents on week ends! At the end I was able to walk into that exclusive jewellers shop and pay cash for my Omega. In 1973 and 1974 hitchhiked around Britain and Europe and my Omega went with me through all my experiences. I was temporarily detained in Bugaria for trying to enter a communist country as a South African. South Africa at that time was fighting a war against communist infiltration in southern Africa. All my belongings, money and my beloved Omega were taken from me by the Bugarian security police. One night I was sitting in my cell when the door was opened and I was taken to a room where all my belongings, money and watch were spread out on a table. The first thing I claimed and put on was my Omega. I was put on an aeroplane to Syria (another country not friendly to South Africa). The plane stopped over in Istanbul where I jumped out illegally or not. I had a Turkish visa and so was able to continue on my travels. I got caught up in the Israeli October war in 1973 and my beloved Omega was with me and always, until about 12 years ago. I.was wotking on a scaffold on a building project and the retaining pin on the steel strap broke. My Omega plunged several metres hitting a cross bar on the way down falling onto the stopwatch return button. I took my Omega to a socalled horologist who looked at it and said he could not repair it and in the process lost the stopwatch sweep hand. Maybe I should have taken it to the service agents here in Johannesburg. I did this once before and the cost was so high it took me six months to pay off the debt! I packed up my watch in a small plastic container with a bag of hydrogel and its been there ever since. I watched you repair that watch on KZread and was absolutely blown away by your expertise hence my plea to repair my Omega. For me the Omega Speedmaster eclipses all other watches with its pure functional beauty of line and form easy to read dial as well as its functional strengh. I will have to courier my Omega to you as I cannot trust the South Africa Postal service with such a valuable and sentimental item. If you get this message can you please contact.me by return email asotpan@gmail.com Thank you so much for making contact with me you cannot imagine how greatly appreciative I am. Kind regards, John Scott. PS. My son and his wife live in Nijmegen in the Netherlands.
