How to kill a boring Saturday

rfknauss · 5 September 2010, 01:28 AM

Awesome Jocke ...... I really enjoyed it ..... and for me it was very informative ..... you are a very talented guy!

Tijssan · 5 September 2010, 01:29 AM

Fantastic!

DCgator · 5 September 2010, 01:33 AM

I could never even attempt something like that. Don't have the manual dexterity lol.... Thanks for the demo!

Welshwatchman · 5 September 2010, 01:30 AM

Excellent pictorial, Jocke.

sakuraba · 5 September 2010, 01:30 AM

Very impressive, Jocke!

I honestly thought it was another JJ-related thread!

Dan Pierce · 5 September 2010, 01:34 AM

You're much more ambitious than me.

Well done pictorial, as always.

Pep04 · 5 September 2010, 01:34 AM

Simply amazing. I wouldn't dare do that.

BarkMaster · 5 September 2010, 01:36 AM

Excellent!!!

I really don't see how people can work on such small parts.

Nothing smaller than a crankshaft for me!

Great walk through

. One thing though, is there any seal between the tapers of the case and the tube when you screw them together, or is the metal against metal seal enough for water tightness? I see the o-ring in the tube I just wondered about the outside.

Jocke · 5 September 2010, 01:55 AM

Thanks guys.

There is no seal between the tube and case, it is only the tapered surfaces that seal against each other.
Inside the bottom of the crown is the one gasket that seals against the tube. So all the moving parts are sealed.

For the submariner there is a seal in between ! I guess because it is rated for deeper water resistance

Jocke,

I can't help but wonder if you are a trained watch maker or technician perhaps? Simply awsome tutorial. Not somthing I would try though!

Just send me one and I will do the same work as I do with my Yachtmaster to find out.

IMHO so is the green/gold dial be made of brass.

geronimo509 · 5 September 2010, 03:14 AM

manhatan · 5 September 2010, 03:42 AM

If only I could repair one of my watch like this.
How could you get a brand new crown as spare part ? I've heard that Rolex is hard to sell spare parts ?
