I would love to see a video or photographic walk through of the dissassmbly and assembly of an Omega 861 (Early Speedmaster). I have to restore my personal Speedmaster (given to me new in 1974 by my parents). I have worked on several chronographs in the past but with guidance from books or videos but I would be much more at ease with visual guidance. I looked everywhere for the 861 takedown and couldn't find any detailed work. I also searched for the similar Lemania 1873.

Have a look at Lemania 1873 in the forums walk through section . Same movement. 

Knowing that they were essentially the same movement I had already done a page by page search and a system search for 1873 and all I found was Brian3's interesting post concerning the manufacturing of a part. I repeated the search just now and still come up empty handed.

No walk through of the Omega 861 or Lemania 1873 that I can find. If I am somehow missing the thread would you please offer a link?

Thanks!

My fault as i didn't read the whole thread.i thought is was a walkthrough? 

As you say i can't see anything about either the 861 or the Lemania

1873?

Have you search the net for Tissot cal 27? Same same but different. 

The only services with pictures i can find is watchguy.co.uk . He has done both Lemania and Omega and Tissot.

Thanks rogart63. I'll start searching today. I'm not highly concerned as I already know where the eccentrics are located and how to adjust the chrono finger and jumper as needed.

A walkthrough is one way to keep me from over reaching and going too fast. I have made mistakes born from overconfidence.

You are not the only one?  It's great that someone done the mistakes before i do them. 

Would be very nice to now how to service a 861 movement. Or a Tissot cal 27 . Have one that runs okay but will certainly need some attention in the future?

      Been there. Worn that Tshirt.  'ping'. Hands and knees. Nothing. Nada. 20 minutes? Ha! I found it 7 month later. How? Well, after advice from a member, I invested in a £4 UV light torch.  Hands and knees looking for a 'ping' from a Sekonda, found them both within 30 seconds. UV makes the jewel shine. easy peasy. Could have taken longer. Just lucky on the location of the search. Hope this helps.

      Thanks Dell. I thought about silver soldering. Have never done it but would like to give it a go. Do you think to put flux on the butted joint then run the solder in or to maybe brace it with a piece of scrap spring steel?

      Never and others. Yes, like you I do spend a fair amount of time reading the contents of this forum. I find it better that any other. Clear, lucid, no Prima Donas, and most of all an easy access without adverts. All thanks to Mark. God bless you mate. You give so much to many of us. What if? No Mark? Hypothetically. A forum. I did run a forum for a few years. Really enjoyed it, but became so engrossed that it did affect my health. I gave to to others to run. Not been back. It was very successful and rivalled a number of large paying sites. No adverts, no others but me. I did ask and listen to members comments and it worked well.    Costs Having a domain name, £10 annually.  Register the site with a forum company, free. Build the site using the forum company guide lines, free. It looked and ran almost the same a Mark's. All the same facilities. The cost was only £5 per month, but counted visits (views). If I recall, it was that price for 5,000 views. Each extra 5,000 views increased the price by £2 per month. Success was my own personal undoing. From £5 per month initially, it rose to £60 a month and looked like increasing. This was 10 years ago. I could not afford that, and asked it anyone would like to take over and someone did. I would assume that this is the price that Mark is funding for us all. His return is our continued comments on the internet about his course, and the fact that many of the big names on YouTube mention him as their Tutor. Those of us who have done, and are still using, his course, benefit. In comparison to other courses, I can't believe how cheap it is, and the value is exceptional. It is the structure that gives the value. Long may Mark reign. Ross
