This is an extremely interesting video, especially as I have an ELGIN B.W. Raymond pocket watch myself, which could probably use some servicing. I was given the watch by my father, who himself received the watch from his uncle. The watch is no longer in its original case. On my watch, the crown is at the 3 o'clock position. I'd dearly like to find a skilled watchmaker who could undertake such a thorough servicing and/or restoration as you have presented in this video. Thanks for producing and sharing this fascinating video.

Dear Sir ! people like you AMAZE me with your talent. Heck

Fascinating!

Very nice video. How would be mass production of these watches have been way back when? Was it a production line where each worker would do partial assignments? All by hand I assume..

Really nice watch.

I’ve just discovered Stian, love to see these masters at work and talking about Horology plus his quirky sense of humour, great channel Mark and thanks mate for the videos! Keep it up please x x

was wondering where you purchased the eflex for the pivots

красиво...

hai i have a vintage mechanical watch with me but its crystal was broken partly and I like to change with a new crystal, but the watch dial is hexagonal type shape so is it possible to get exact fitting crystal?

Thanks a lot. I learned the names of all these tools and their use

Nice work!

Oh yes. I had to subscribe. Nice watch cleaning machine!

Thanks for the information

Loved the video!

She didn’t seem impressed as I was with her Grandfather’s success. People today😢

A watch that a person would use their whole life because it was so nice, must have been as good as getting a Rolex to a 10yr old kid.

Another great video thanks for sharing. I also bought the Chinese copy of the case back opener and the crystal press which I also used as a case back closer, and I agree with you these Horotec copies are very well made.

You bought a Bergeon mat!!! Why? It's a mat. Currently I use a rubber backed computer mouse mat.

Wonderful video!

How many feet of the wire do you need?

Thanks for the video, this diagram shows how each component works so I’ll be able to bring it up to more modern spec and converting it to two direction will be simple.

I am Bolivar Great job with the tool that is not even authentic.

Great video

about $5,000 or less?

Can you restore my great great grandfather elgin pocket watch for me?!!!

19 minute video needs to be edited down to 5-7 mins or less.

OMG I just found you today Here is my story As a matter fact today I pulled out a pocket watch I got 35 years ago. I collect wrist watches too Have many old ones like 50 plus and Plus many parts Anyways I pulled my pocket watch out and it looks almost identical to this one. Mine has a train inscribed on back. But here is the kicker A name of the person who owed it inscribed his name on the back of it Jim ….. I won’t put last name here. I got this probably down south. 40 years ago I worked with jewelers back in the day. I haven’t opened it up yet. I tried a bit but it’s tight. So im thinking about putting this on social media? Who knows Maybe I’ll investigate more. How can I contact you ?? Thanks

I just got a watch from my dad that is almost identical to this, the only difference is there is no design on the back cover and it has a hinge to open it. Also the stem is broken off :(

what a fantastic job you did. I dabble in watch repair. ( never call myself a watch maker) where do you find a replacement balance wheel for a 90 year old Elgin. Such a common issue.

Very good video and you’re very honest so thank you so much

Where do you get your tools from for the watches I want to give the

Ĝood 1 bro You very knowlegletaole.

Thank you for making this, you got my sub.

Nice job 👏

Thoroughly enjoyed this one ! 👍

the Jacot tool is for burnishing pinions, which is different than polishing. Polishing removes metal while burnishing reshapes. It’s less about “straightening” and more about correcting the grooves on pinions that are cut bc the jewels are much harder than metal. This is ultimately done to correct positional variation.

Excellent viewing and what a precision, affordable Chinese tool set :-)

Enjoy your videos. Voice narration would add a lot.

Nice watch, new fix.

Nice job as usual keep up the great job

🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

9:25 I'm here because i saw the similar Starting watch repair tool currently on ebay right now for $250 for the whole set. Kinda wondered what is that, now i know😁.

Thanks for doing this experiment! I am about to try polywatch *burp* for the first time 😁

Saudações! Uma pequena correção. O movimento do vídeo é um espartano Hangzhou 9310, clone do clone série ST-36... Apenas não é decorado como o Sea-Gull. O Hangzhou possui uma vantagem sobre os outros, uma jóia na extremidade da ponta inferior do eixo do tambor da mola principal. Nem Sea-Gull, ETA ou Unitas possuem essa pedra num ponto de grande tensão mecânica lateral mesmo rodando lentamente. 👍

Thanks for the feed back, another tool I need.

Love watching these videos!! If you dont mind me asking, how much are they usually worth after restoration? Obviously theres a large variation, but if you got a broken one for 50 -100 bucks and got it running nicely, cleaned it up, polished some surfaces to jaz it up etc etc How much would it be worth after the work? (Generally obviously lol) Im assuming a broken pocket watch for 100 bucks would be about 4- 500 bucks if it was running perfectly, clean as could be and no huge damage just wear marks.. Would my assumption be correct? Thanks for your time and orgasmic content!!

love your content very much, i was just curious to get the 21 jewels I thought the excapment wheel and the pallet have hole jewels and cap jewels. maybe that waltham has a jeweled barrel i didnt see

Инструмент хорошо, а золотые руки и светлая голова лучше...

Great video. What is the brand of the made in China snap back remover and the crystal press? Thank you! You have a new follower as well!

It's okay to buy something that you just want, just because you like it.. Your new vintage tools are so awesome.
