Best Watchmaker context on Youtube. Thanks again Alex.

I have a loose impulse jewel on a Felsa 690 movement, this video is brilliant. How do you get the reference point for the direction of the impulse jewel? Did you mark the balance wheel?

Thanks for these great videos! I've been working on my great grandfather's pocket watch, which is a circa 1922 South Bend 429 movement. I just picked up a 18r recently and can't wait to practice using it on some junk Chinese balance wheels! Thanks again!

Great detail. Best watch repair videos on YouTube. You touch on subjects I’ve not seen anyone else do.

[chrisjohnson]

Superb! Thanks a lot, mate (I'm English BTW). I really appreciate your videos.

I'm about to try replacing the roller jewel on my Waltham. This video had lots of great tips and I'm glad this is a subject you covered. The one about the smoothing broach holding the roller table may save my butt as I'm trying to get it into my combination tool. Thanks, Alex!

[MrGalenlcox]

Great teaching video!! Please keep them coming!

[ramazanbaris]

When I first started and saw your videos, I was like "when will that kind of work even be necessary to do?" Now, I say God bless you, man. You are like a saint in the watchmaking business😊

[MrRoundel]

Really great video, thanks. I like your very practical style, coupled with excellent camera work, in order to really get an idea of what to do, and what not to do. Your comment about the possible flicking of parts by the back of a hand is so right-on. This is so easy to do when you're using magnification. The other day I flipped a triangular parts tray that I had just emptied a small US cleaning container into with my wild pinky. Fortunately, it was the one that had the plate screws, and they were from a large pocket watch, so everything was recovered. But yeah, that stuff sure happens. BTW, I'd love to use denatured alcohol in my spirit/alcohol lamp but you can't find it anywhere in So. Cal. I think there were local laws forbidding the sales of it. Oh well...I'm sure there are good reasons. Thanks again. Cheers.

Very good video. It would also be interesting to see how you correct the beat error in this kind of balance without a moving stud.
