Omega repair - Omega speedmaster overhaul

The watch to be posted this time is a valuable watch for customers who visited Time Hands directly.

 

​

OMEGA 1164 The 1164 movement is based on the ETA-7750 movement.

​

Even a machine with the same novelty as a watch, the cause of failure may vary depending on the habit of the person wearing it or the completion of previous work, and the method of repair is different.

All the entangled parts have a job to do.

 

​

​

The major winding is heavily stained. It's a rotating part when it's winding, so it's natural to see some stains, The work called overhaul is to clean up to this point again.

​

​

Separate the cannon pinion of the front part of the movement, the calendar wheel hour heel, and the mini wheel.

The main spring has relatively clean traces of oil.

As there are a lot of parts, it takes quite a long time to disassemble, clean, dry, reassemble, refuel, oil, apply the needle, set the needle, etc. Here, the filming for blog posting is also carried out, so it takes more time. When posting a blog, time is added to photo selection, editing and writing. For this reason, we are always sorry that we cannot post all repaired watches on our blog. All watches that are not posted are also invested in the same amount of time and repaired in the same way.

Lubricate the dry main spring.

Reassembly starts while refueling and seating the main spring.

Pallet Pork Epilam Coating

Escape coating on the escapement wheel To explain if you are curious about the process of epilam coating, Place the part on the top of the bottle with the epilam coating solution [closed with a dense wire mesh], close the lid, and leave the bottle upside down. After the bottle is turned over and opened again, the coating solution does not go down for a while and remains in the wire mesh. It's very tight, so it doesn't come out right away. (It is manufactured closely to prevent very fine parts such as cap jewelry from falling down.)

 

Seat a large car that has been washed.

​

More and more I am looking for myself. The most important thing when assembling is to properly assemble it in a fixed position, but it is to lubricate the oil you need where you need it. There is no point in overhauling if you disassemble, clean and reassemble.

​

​

When fixing the bridge, etc., work after fixing with a plastic stick to prevent scratches that may occur on the parts.

The reason you need to apply the Epilam coating is because you need to lubricate these small parts. A small amount of oil must be refueled on that small gem, and coating is necessary to keep the oil stable in place. Many watches are overhauled without receiving this, but it is a must.

​

Assemble the rotor.

After being overhauled, testing under winder The bezel part is made of gold for a luxurious look. This watch was an overhaul for maintenance with no particular anomalies. Although many watches are requested to be repaired with a malfunction, the overhaul work for maintenance does not require any parts replacement or restoration, so the work is smooth. It is also economical in terms of cost, and a good choice for watches.
