Thanks for sharing. Very very helpful!
Hello, do you have or know of a video on how to replace a winder on a
pocket watch? Thanks alot for your help!
Hi
How about removing a stem from the Omega Polaris Multifunction watch? That
would be interesting and helpful.
Thanks
so helpful thank you
when you remove the stem leave the watch in the wind position…not the set
position…
as some one just getting into watches your videos are a great help
Hi Mark, I have been having a hard time working on some super clone
movements, those clones of the 2836-2 for example. I usually remove the
stem after setting the watch in time set position, but upon refitting the
stem and crown I’m screwing up the keyless somehow, and unable to get to
quick date set.
What method do you recommend removing stem, and refitting stem in one of
these movements?
excellent teaching for Watch
Not everybody owns a rolex or amega watch? how about covering accurist,
Seiko, pulsar and other watches at the other end of the market??
I have an old Timex 1970s (I think) watch. The stem is in the watch but the
crown is missing. The watch works.
I took it to a jeweller + watch repairer.I asked if he could put a new
crown on it.
He told me that Timex crowns were impossible to put on because of the
design or something. I had noticed that the stem is square shaped and
there’s no thread for a crown to screw on. Surely there must be a way of
attaching a crown. Do you know anything about this? I have a few fob
watches which look very similar in design and size. Would it be possible to
put the stem and crown from the fob watch into the wristwatch? To be honest
I’d rather leave the fob watches alone (in case I fouled up) and just found
a Timex crown with or without a stem that fits the watch. Have you ever
come across this Timex crown oddity? Was the jeweller having me on.
Mark, I think you’re a star. I’ve seen just about all your video’s and you
have inspired me to buy a set of tools and a few scrap watches to practice
on. Many thanks
Thanks Mate, great.
Thanks for watching – more videos to come. I regret that I am not a dial
restorer though – it’s a different (but related) trade 🙂
Great info, I had a seiko NH25 I was cleaning and it took me literarily 2
hours before I figured it out. As always thank you for bringing this
informations to us.
Hi Malcombo, it’s very satisfying when you nail it.
Good morning Mark, I am very interested in your video repair hours! I
wanted you to take an interest about polishing and updating dial! It would
be very interesting to posomtret for this technique! Sorry for the text, it
perevodichk google)
Nice work as per usual !
Interesting and informative videos, Great channel!
Very very interesting, thank you Mark. This is very good to know for those
just starting out in the world of watches. Great video!
Hi Ferdinand. I would guess that the front bezel needs to be removed and
the dial and movement will come out through the front. If you like you can
post pictures and the question on my forum (link in the description) and I
will take a look 🙂
Mark, Thanks to this video removing the stem from many different movements
has been straight forward. I have a question not quite on the subject, but
related. Normally there are screws or plastic spacer to hold the movement
in the case. I am currently working on a watch that has neither, and I am
baffled as to how to remove the movement from the case. Because it’s a
rather large watch (Ingersoll IN1602 Caliber635), there’s a steel spacer
that seems un-moveable b/ween the movement & the case.
Thanks Mario 🙂
Thanks Peter. I’m laying foundations for future videos.
