I just watched this video again and must say we must be twins when it comes to approach. I'm not saying I'm as skilled as you, but I feel right at home. And I just love how organised and methodical you are. One thing we can afford as hobbyists is to take our time to always try to do a proper job not cutting corners. I would much rather have you (or myself) take care of my watch than a professional who needs to make a quick buck.

I totally agree. Us hobbyist are not as skilful as professional watchmakers, we can’t compete with them, but we can take our time. They are losing money if they have to spend too much time on a watch. Sure, they will be much quicker than us but to us time is not of any concern and we can afford to take as much time as we like and go to details they may not afford to do because of the time it would require. I don’t know whether you have seen my Rolex video, there were so many issues with that watch, I spent a lot of time on it, it needed a lot of new parts and some issues were very tricky to identify. Take a look, you might like that video.
I hope all your videos are like this one. Long and explanation about what you're doing and what you're working on. With a little humor sprinkled in. Thanks for taking us along

Last year I bought for £10 a gold plated 6109 and £8 the first Actus edition with the "SS", bought both for projects, both on timegrapher gave very very good readings, the 6109 the day wheel has jumped its pusher but keeps incredibly good time, the Actus has a slightly damaged dial and its 3 pane faceted crystal was badly scarred and pitted and again keeps very good time and a few hours with polish and several sanding grades I got the crystal almost perfect without ruining the crystal shape. Although not quite as good as the £4 gold not plate, 1947 Avia... sold on ebay as not working, full of water, needed a new battery and it was on an ancient expander bracelet also rolled gold... two turns of the winder sprang to life and had an almost perfect timegrapher score, good solid clean exterior and its like brand new... queen of my collection.

Sadly, Weishi's or the lower end ones like my 1000 lack what Tg5.0 had which is an acoustic scale like on your etimer, I found it far more useful in getting the acoustic peaks, dwells etc into perfect sync which gave the most perfect of readings best one could get. I had before my Weishi a weird ebay Chinese 3d printed thingy box and used Tg5.0 with it and my PC and it was such a easy thing to use to tune up my movements to perfection or near enough, strange though I still do the old way of time monitoring over 24 hours with my old Soviet stuff, dunno why it was how I did it before machines made it easy and all my Vostokery, Slavas, Poljots etc keep superb time just by monitoring over a 24 hour period then working out how much of a nudge on the regulator arm needed... job done :)

I like the eTimer because of the real sound of the watch rather than the annoying beeping of the Timegrapher that doesn’t help anything. It is certainly much helpful software. It is also nice that it does the long term logs when you can observe issues the Timegrapher is not capable of 👍

I hope it goes well! Have fun and enjoy it 👍
I have a 7005A whose balance wheel makes a metal-on-metal noise when the dial is up. Any guess? I intend to finally disassemble it in the future, and i'll be using your video as a guide. Amazing macroshots, close and clean. Thanks in advance.

Difficult to say not being able to see it. Perhaps not even the balance wheel. It could be the oscillating weight.

Thanks for the attention nonetheless. I'll disassemble it anyway, so.
Hi Leo. Thankyou so much for all your great video's I have learnt so much from you. Could you tell me what the name of the staking tool is? I would love to have a go fitting a jewel. Thankyou once again.

Thanks! It's Seitz/Bergeon. They stopped making the one I have, the new has a new tool but all the bits are the same: www.cousinsuk.com/product/seitz-jewelling-tool-complete-set
Thanks for your video Leo, you are an inspiration. I have a Seiko 7009A with a cracked centrewheel jewel. Is it possible to replace it without having a staking set ? I ultrasound cleaned it so not sure if that caused the crack.

I doubt the ultrasonic would crack a jewel. The high-end watch cleaning machines also use ultrasound as well as rotation. You can probably see the crack now because it’s clean and you can actually see it. Not a staking set but you will need a jewelling tool. My most recent video shows two different jewelling tools, the difference between them and how to use them.
Thanks for the interesting video. Does having plastic parts make any of the newer movements like 4R35 and 6R35 any inferior?

A good question. People don’t like them because they are plastic, they want metal. Only time will tell how long they will last. Note that the plastic parts are in the day and date area. There is an advantage to that. If you change the day or date at around midnight when you’re not supposed to, the plastic part will break and the metal ones that connect to it should be OK. With all metal parts, you would potentially damage several parts instead of just the one weaker one that’s made out of plastic.

Aha! That makes sense. I’ve heard some people say it cuts production costs, which I doubted. Converting just two parts to plastic is not actually cutting costs. What you said makes a lot of sense. Thanks again for everything. Subscribed!

You're absolutely right Leo, it's much better than Hollywood. There's no identity politics or forced indoctrination in your content. Oh yes, much, much better than Hollywood.

Book marking this video. I just got a 7005-7100 and I'm attempting a restoration on it. Any idea where I can find a replacement crystal? Mine is beyond repair...
