Hello All, Though I'm late, but Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. I did it. With Marc's videos and your encouragement I was able to service a tiny Omega DeVille Cal 625. The watch had issues with the stem settings and it turned out that part of the Setting Lever Spring was broken. It actually fell out when I opened the case. So I ordered a new spring and a mainspring. When the parts came I proceeded. I used up a few cartons of cigarettes (for all you anti-smokers out there, I know I should quit but...) because that thing is tiny but I was able to take it apart, clean it and more amazingly put it back together. I actually made a couple of YouTube videos about it but I had to take out the sound (too much cursing). Actually I took the sound out and replaced with No-Copyright music because I had the music on and those songs are copyrighted. Anyway, thank you all for you support and thank you Marc for all the useful videos and great advise. Onwards and Upwards (by that I mean Onwards: more watches and Upwards: normal sizes) Cheers, Maz

Hi Guys, Finally Ive got them cleaned and fixed, and I have to say I love them both :)

Hello All, I have such a gigantic collection, I tend to wear each watch two to three times a year. (I know, I'm a watchaholic and need help, lol) Anyway, today is Tag day and I've had this Aquaracer for about a year now. She keeps better time than my Rolex and feels nice and "chunky" with plenty of heft. The construction is solid and this watch has been to h**l and back but yet she still keeps great time and looks good too;) Thanks for watching! :) Love that lume:) I apologize in advance for the horrible pics....I will get used to this phone soon enough, haha.

Yeah, know what you mean. I always like to do my best for people, once I sold a collection of books to someone but the postage was way way beyond what I had estimated because they lived in Ireland and it is then classed as overseas. He thought I was trying to pull a fast one when I explained about the postage. To sort things out I just said, I'll send you the books, have them on me as it was my mistake in the first place. I don't know why but I am inclined to just send the guy this watch with a message saying you obviously need the 12 pounds more than I do.

I use lighter fluid (naptha) on everything without problems. Alcohol is fine but keep it away balances & pallets as it will dissolve shellac.

Thank you Here it is: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL_pOJl0_6K3lw02ryLKlXyu_5ZjQ4XGIK Maz
