I love so much your way to change every metal bushing of the barrell shaft with the jewels!
You are one of the must watchmaker onto the web
You want to put the lock tight in the crown hole and not to the stem. When you add it to the crown first, the lock tight will wick up the stem as air pressure is pushed out due to the crown not having a hole on the other side. Capillary action will take place to fill the threads around the stem giving you 90 to 100 percent coverage. Doing it the way you are currently doing it is just pushing the lock tight out of the hole, which is why you have “left over” lock tight on the stem at the end.
Hope it helps! Love the videos, and I’m looking forward to continuing to watch and learn. Looking to get into this hobby myself! Just need to order the tools once I get the money around.
