    Thanks for the video. I've never opened my solar watch, it's always helpful to see it done before attempting. I will say though, for anyone attempting to work on any quartz watch, be careful not to touch the copper coil. Over time, oils from your fingers can cause premature corrosion to the coil, necessitating a replacement. I'm not saying you touched it, but it may not be clear to a first time do-it-yourselfer. Great camera work too!

    One more thank you from someone keen on checking if an "o" Ring is an acceptable substitute on my vintage Seikos. I also liked & learned from the greasing method used. One thing though; to my knowledge "O" rings do NOT rot when in contact with oil (just look at the number of the cars and bikes using them as part of the oil filter sealing).

    Vinegar is too acidic. It will corrode the blades. Use wash up liquid like Dawn (in USA) or Fairy Liquid in UK. These will clean the blades with the help of a toothbrush. Oil the heads after cleaning with a drop of shaver oil.

    A big thumb-up for your creativity and an even bigger thumb-down for what you do to this poor little watch, starting from placing it with the glass directly to your desk to scratching the back when removing the nut... it really hurts me to see all this. My advice: if you cannot open the watch invest the 5 bucks and bring it to a professional.

    • @dodeedo
      @dodeedo 3 місяці тому

      the wooden table didn't damage the hardex glass, also back not scratched. in the end it is a working and worn £200 watch repaired for £15 not £100 for professional service. the back was so so stuck normal watch opening tools could not get enough torque to open it. Of course this is just my solution to the problem, does not have to be only solution

    I watched this video and said to my self that’s not good shaking your blades in a jar because they will hit the glass and it probably would hit the sharp part of the blade. Like the other review use a soft tooth brush and when cleaning brush the same way the blade go and not the other way because the brush will get cut and it will blunt the blade. If any one wants to sharpen there blades grab a piece of glass or small mirror put silicone metal polish on the mirror the turn the blades against the sharp edge just turn it round and round don’t press to hard your see the polish change colour do it for about two minutes then do the other two you’re know when they are sharp. This doesn’t need to be done a lot may be once a year or so.

    Just circling back. I had bought 2 grades of diamond paste - 5 micro and 2.5 micron. I went with the 5 (blue). I did not really see much of a color change to the paste. But it was more noticeable after doing 3 blade units. My mirror had a really nice patina of scratches so, it wasn't for lack of rotations. Mine weren't that dull to begin with, so I guess that's why. In any case, it seemed to work.
