This is a guy I have been watching on Youtube. He has some very good and interesting videos to watch some are for those just starting out.  Here is a a nice one from him about Tweezers. He has a very good one on watch oils and grease.  I have subscribed to his channel and I hope you will do the same.

Definitely a professional.  He is so far removed from those other videos you showed us previously, where the "repairman" went after parts with big pliers and carpentry hammers.  I like how he demonstrates and explains.  I am subscribing too.

Kalle (I think that’s the spelling) is a very nice guy on the videos! I love how he’s always smiling. Definitely good info

Thanks OH. I knew that parts spring out if you squeeze the tweezers too hard, but I did not realise that the tips spread apart.

I have subscribed to this guy too I highly recommend. On one of his vids regarding regulation he sets a newly serviced watch to + 1 to +2 secs because over a period of a couple of years this will slow to zero. This is high end servicing.

Subscribing too! That video about tweezers was really informative, and I look forward to see the other videos.

I've been watching his work for a while now and he explains things really well. I've been advising my students to watch his work as well, especially about the tweezers and lubricants. Strangely enough, he uses the exact same lubricants I do, apart for the Kluber, but as they say 'Ask 10 watchmakers which lubricants they use and you'll get 15 different answers'

The intro is like something from a tv show but the instructional parts seem to be from a live training course. I'm 5 videos in and hooked, will be watching them all, great find!

Chronoglide's video on screwdrivers had a few interesting tidbits I found really helpful in my selecting my first good screwdriver set. I found it very interesting especially when he talked about how he actually handles/uses his fingers for screwing in screws on watches vs what he was taught in watchmaker school.

      Managed to clear the short, cleaned and oiled the movement. Now testing for 24 hours before I case it up. The movement is so small that it's loose in my smallest movement holder.

      Message board problem

      By Mark · Posted

      Looks like the kind of message that occurs when there are routing issues between your local network and the remote server the site is living on - there can sometimes be 20 or 30 hops and when there are issues some of those hops become unavailable temporarily for some people but for others where there is a different path being used the issues are not manifest. Another explanation, and this used to happen to me a lot with my ISP, is using the ISP DNS servers on your device or router sometimes is not as robust as changing to a public service such as 1.1.1.1 or similar. I was having a terrible time watching Youtube a while back - changed the DNS on my Apple TV to use 1.1.1.1 and problem solved. However, these issues tend to resolve themselves fairly quickly.

      Help with repairing a quartz clock

      As mentioned by the other members, it’s a dismantle job clean and inspect the solder joints. It’s an older generation using the paxolin pcb  not the glass fiber ones.
