Overhaul IWC Portugieser Automatic Chronograph

Ойын-сауық

I’m looking inside an IWC Portugieser Automatic Chronograph equipped with an IWC calibre C79350 movement. This movement is based on Valjoux 7750 and beautifully decorated with Geneva stripes. The screws are mirror polished. Every detail is just perfect.
This video is not a Rolex, Breitling or Seiko restoration. It just shows the beauty of watchmaking, movement finishing and attention to detail.
On top of that are these well made golden hands which are, in addition, mirror polished. The chronograph second and the minute hands are flame blued. The dial is simple and exceptionally well done with golden Arabic numbers.
The watch case shows just minor scratches from daily use. I do my best to let you have a deep look inside this watch.
To provide you with more video details I used three different macro lenses to see truly inside every part. Look for example at the reflection of the screwdriver blade on the screw heads. I didn't speed up the video and most sequences are in realtime. To enjoy all these details view the video in 4K or at least HD
Enjoy the video 😊

    It never ceases to amaze me how gears and cogs can be made to such precision in miniature. Then to see you dismantle it as its heart still beats!

    Hi again 🖐 If you want to place correctly balance wheel, you should hold the splint with tweezer then rotate 90 degree to the movement, place the balance wheel pin and rotate the splint and put its place. You will see the wheel starts to move by itself. Dangerous to work with wobbling wheel on the machine! Nice work 👍

    Thank you for this excellent video, though I agree with "as pop": drinking water is precious, so do not waste it like this. On another note, your enthusiasm for the "beautifully decorated" movement is not shared here. It is actually very cheaply decorated (only the visible parts), no beveling, just micro-sandblasting and many ugly press-cut parts. You have to consider the price IWC is asking for such a watch and what quality the company used to produce. Like Panerai, IWC is going downhill very fast; only the prices are going up, which is a total no-go.
