Wow!!! it is so simple. Of course, we need a guru like Alex to teach us this. Thank you so much for this wonderful video.

I watched all the videos (actualy twice :D) and i can´t THANK U inaff, learned so much. The way u explain is simply perfect even a noob as i can clearly understoond it. I stick to everythink u said i was actualy able fully disassemble, clean lubricate and assemble my old Eppo with otero 796 movement with pretty zero issues. It took my five days but still. It holds time like breeze for two weeks now. Thanks again for making theese viedeos, greeting from Slovakia.

Invaluable. Took me ages to refit these! Ordered a jewel pick!

[da___man]

Thanks for the helpful tip. Your videos have become an invaluable resource for us amateur watchmakers. Cheers!

[RestorationWatch]

Thanks Alex, just bought two that were made in Japan so I'm sure Seiko would approve. LOL

[ReiMonCoH]

Bravo.
An excellent idea👍🏻
The picker is $8 on eBay. Mines on the way🤘🏻😆🤘🏻

[yesterdayschild]

I purchased one of those a while back and use it for a variety of small parts, it's brilliant!

[JonTheComputerDoctor]

Thank you so much, just about to buy one or maybe two.

Excellent idea! In the past I have had jewels and springs "go into orbit" using the 2 tweezers method. Perhaps with the jewel picker, they won't get airborne so easily. Thanks for sharing.

[fredflintstone]

Thanks for the tip. I ordered one from Amazon and got it the other day. As you say it's really good for a lot of tasks. I was using it to hold the cap jewels on Incabloc settings on a small ST69 movement to rub them on watch paper cleaning them and moving them around for oiling.

Great tip Alex. Accidental discovery keeps the world going lol.

[The_Scienceboy]

You really are the best Alex. Every recommendation is pure gold. I ordered one of these as soon as I watched the video. Same as I did when I watched your uv lamp for finding lost jewels video (also good for finding where the dog peed on the carpet). Thank you so much.

Installing the two springs of the main bridge is absolutely more painful because it is necessary to apply greater pressure to both ends of the spring for them to fit. The stone disengages several times, spreading the oil bubble. In addition, it would be necessary to maneuver the tweezers to rotate the stone after it has been lubricated. This took me hours of learning last Sunday. If you could make a video with some tips it could be very useful. Hugs!

[SQueme]

very nice trick !! thanks for sharing 👍

[johnvaluk]

Thank you again Alex. Great information and video!

[Supercruze]

Great tip here, Alex. Thank you for the vid. The smaller diafix settings on the train bridge with this type of spring are even more difficult. Pack your patience with these.

[boydsargeant]

Top tip Alex, gotta get myself a jewel picker!

[watchwhisper]
