Thanks to everyone who pointed out the effect of the IPA bath on the impulse and pallet jewels. After reading your comments, I reopened the watch and found that the jewels were indeed a bit loose. It turns out that part of the shellac dissolved, so I had to perform an additional repair after posting the video. Lesson learned! Thank you all for the great advice and support! 🙏

Hi, I was just about to point this out. However, only make that mistake once! Well done with that case! I hate any case like this and try to avoid them, well done to you! And great job with the gasket!

I have a Valgine swuire automatic with the same case system! I didn,t know that Omega and other brands used the same system nor that a special tool exist to open it! I open it in different way and scratch a bitt the case. Thank you for the info! I will make a tool myself to open it right next time! Keep making videos. Kind regards from Belgium

Beautiful watch now ready for another 20 30 years !!

Fantastic. Thank you for posting such an interesting restoration.

I would love to have seen a close up the balance and jewels bouncing around when you popped the case apart!!! It sure went with a bang!😮

I can’t fault your skill level or quality of the work you do on your channel, but I personally would go back and re-shellac the impulse and pallet jewels on the watch as the IPA has clearly dissolved it, I say this because it’s definitely going to work loose one of the jewels eventually soon. You did a wonderful restoration of the piece all in all. 🙏😉👏👏

Quite a bold move, to soak the movement in isopropylalkohol over night,with the palletfork and balance in situ as the pallet stones and balance impulse jewel, are set with shellac that gets dissolved by alcohol ,or am i missing something ? 😉👍🏻

I like the spirit of your efforts. In no time you will be doing a chronograph. As there are techniques I recently discovered for case refinishing maintaining geometry and look to how it should be, and respect that you too no risk there.

Beautiful rose gold movement and an excellent restoration. It requires exceptional skill to restore these timeless beauties.

Nicely done. Be careful soaking pallet and impulse jewels in alcohol as it will soften the shellac and the jewels may become loose or repositioned as the shellac re-hardens.

Thanks for the advice Mike! Fortunately, it seemed to not dissolve the shellac in this case, but I was reading a bit into it and will definetly keep IPA away from these jewels next time! Thanks for your support 😊🙏🏻

Should use wet sandpaper at fine grits. I find it works out better in the end for me on things I want to polish.

When using glass and plasstic with sand paper use a wet sand since it help keep the sand paper clear and less likely to cause another sratch while sanding

I have a million times more chance of winning the lottery than putting that lot back together.....respect!

Hopefully the pallet stones and impulse jewels didn’t fall off with the IPA

Fatastic work as always. 👏👏

@@rescuingwatches great video and great watch!! Soaking was a good idea, but if you need to do this in the future have some Hexane handy!! It’s a lot cheaper and the same as one dip so the shellac won’t soften up👍

Regarding the logo on the middle of the crystal, MIDO also does that on its watches. Cheers.

Great work, I've got just a doubt though, how does the crown seal? Considering the status of the seal for the case I guess you changed the o-ring just off camera

Awesome

Left a big scratch mark at 38:45 ...

Impressive restoration! You know, the omega case tool is quite simple and I’m sure a machinist could make something similar quite easily. By the way, I am a machinist 😁.

Nice intro, to clean melted gaskets I find alcohol does it very easily. GS cement is okay but you really want to use a UV glue and oven. I use the Sternkruez UV glue. It’s easier to apply and I find it sets better than the cement. I do a lot of Seiko where the glass is glued to a metal ring, GS you get bubbles or inconsistencies which you can see when looking at the watch but the UV spreads well and does not leave a witness (after a bit of practice)

@@rescuingwatches certainly worth considering. If you deal with cousins you can get it there along with a good 4 tube UV oven. Guess it depends on how many you will ever do.

Почему вы эти часы называете " Компрессор " ?

38:42 You put too little oil, the oil couldn't cover the whole pivot, just look at the circle of oil which there is not enough of oil to form a circle in this case, the circle of oil should cover the whole top of the balance pivot and is atleast 1/2 to 2/3 diameter of the cap jewel, and you scratched the plating when locking the incabloc spring using your screwdriver, that's why you shouldn't use your metal tweezer and screwdrivers in every cases, a simple shappened plastic stick or peg wood stick would be much better and wouldn't scratch anything. You are probably not a professional watchmaker or profesionally trained and I appreciated your effort and passion in making YT videos, I don't want you to feel bad, but watchmaking is like you need higher attention to details, not enough of oil in the balance jewel, making scratches, things like these deny the effort you've made in cleaning and servicing the watch, especially since you are working and filming under a microscope people can see everything including mistakes so clearly.
