As I understand it, Seiko was the first watch company to mass produce the automatic movement. They also invented the quartz movement.

Thank you for covering this, I always told people that the term "overwound" is another word for "This watch doesn't work"..

Everyday is a school day, awesome but of history, thanks.

Great to see you again. I was waiting for new content. I hope you had great holidays.

Nice timepiece

good info

Thanks for that really super cool watch for one, and I'm also really happy that someone lambasted rolex😂😂😂😂❤🎉

What a fascinating watch-and, delightfully, a video short enough to leave one wanting more, rather than droning on unnecessarily to of things out. One thing that leaves one wanting more, however, is the audio editing: it seems that every utterance is cut short, as if the audio recorder was bored and in a hurry to get to lunch.

Much appreciated, brilliant movement.

Happy to see you back at it. Loved the video. I have some stuff coming shortly. Been absent… got engaged and well…..

That is seriously cool!

Rolex has a remarkable track of failed or dubious firsts that were buried later by marketing. The double failure of the Submariner is quite amusing.

Excellent video Sir!👍👍👍

This could explain the loose wrist action of some men that continues on to this day!

Love the knowledge. Always a treat to watch the productions of the Gentlemen.

It's a cool piece of tech. How well does it work in a real world application? Does it wind enough to make it through the night on your nightstand?

Brilliant video and interesting horological history! Thank you Sir!

If you have a watch that needs repairing, servicing or restoring checkout gentlemenswatches.co.uk

What is an overwound watch? After 40 turns of the crown on a manual watch, you probably break the stem... Just wind the watch and if the turning of the crown is blocked, just stop. The watch is fully wound.... An automatic watch will run after a few spins. Then wear it and ik will wind itself to full power in the mainspring....

I love the commentary, especially how you cut each phrase off abruptly, pressed for time!👍👍👍👍👍

Delightful! I came for the MuDu history, stayed for the watch repair and shall certainly remember you for future work. All my local watch repair shops have gone and my experience of postal outfits is vast sums spent on inferior work - so I taught myself! In the process I learned much respect for those who look after watches for a living. Opening a watch for me is to step in to a hell of frustration and shouting, I am certain I would become a mass-murderer if I did more than one in a blue moon! Sadly my favorite pocket watch lost it's balance impulse jewel and I'm still girding my loins for that task! Microscope, balance wheel, tweezers, heat for the shellac and wheel, tiny ruby... did I pick the right size and shape? Try not to loose it or splurge hot shellac everywhere! ...burr...

I loved this video. Thank you so much. I just bought a seagull high copy 1963 19 jewels. And I was afraid to wind it because of the internet. I have one question though: do you think same rule applies to a chinese watch? Could there be an issue due to low quality? Or should I just wind it freely? Still, I fear wayyy less now.❤

I have the beatles wacth 1963 Sweden. I want sell only $6666 USD

Best narration in the watch restoration/repair genre!

Glued on dial? Oh good god that should be a capital crime - I have a lovely little Fremont triple date where some wanker put great big gobs of super glue on the dial feet as they stuck through the main plate holes; said gobs then running down the holes and securely holding the dial in place by it's feet. Forever. No problem I think - acetone dissolves superglue. Well it had dissolved the super-glue after I got tired of trying and left it for 3 months. Then I could carefully pry the dial off. Capital punishment for these wankers. And oh, great narration by the way!

Very interesting, thank you. Sadly it it possible to destroy the entire watch if you wind it too much (mainspring unleashes all of it's power at once), but it happened to me with a vostok watch, and the crowns are voluntarily loose because of the way they make them...

Great videos, your English humor is the best Please keep them coming Thank you

can you fix mine in exchange for a seiko skyliner? it needs restoration

Wonderful tip for ones screwdrivers, I've been sharpening with a stone like a Neanderthal! Rolly world records... Highest AD markup, largest hidden profit, worn by highest amount of morons! 😅

Hello my Brother and welcome back! Been missing your entertaining videos. I noticed a few things while viewing the video. There was way too much play in the barrel bridge. That is probably a lot of the cause of the low amplititude. I also noticed that the lower 3rd wheel pivot was badly scoured. Again, hurts amplititude. The balance wheel was either poorly re-staffed at some point or has bent pivots as seen by the "wobble". Also noticed more play in the main plate on the center wheel than I like to see. I know each has their own level of acceptance for tolorances though. I would expect to see at least 270 degrees of amplititude with the installation of a new, white, mainspring even with a 100 yr old watch. I've see as high as 305 degrees after replacing an old, blue steel, one with a new white alloy one. Looking forward to your next vid! Cheers!

For a second there I thought it was the great philosopher Alan Watts who was making this video!

The thing is with a lady's watch is that its is small. So I would presume a lady's Rolex would be twice the price of a gentleman's Rolex!

My wife has a favourite engine turned Rollie of this vintage, perhaps a close sibling off the rose machine. Thank you for your videos. I greatly appreciate your oiler game!

Why do you think the plating under the crown wheel hub was so scratched up? The hub doesn't move.

My my, what an entertaining delight was this? Half an hour flew right away without one realizing it. Please accept my gift of a click on the famous like button.

Based on the special mainspring removal method, I must be a god of gods! Love it!

Brilliant my friend😁 stop being so busy ......I've missed your vids 😂😂😂😂👍👍

Amazing, beautiful watch good sir. And thank you for mentioning the racoon and monkey invasions, I remember it like it was yesterday. 20:37

Welcome back sir, I was starting to worry, Marvellous job banging some life into the old girl sir and the watch was marvellous to!

This looks a channel I can get in to. Going forward I’d like to see some case and bracelet restoration. Great video !

nice commentary, very entertaining

Well done... :)

May I ask which movement holder you use? Lovely video, keep them coming!

Another great video. What grit sandpaper was your first?

The commentary was astute, the watch tending skills proved average, video editing lacked outrightly. Details better left unseen, seeped indiscreetly, into the published version. Can anything allay watchmaker’s wounded reputation? Alas, only Time, healer of broken hearts will do it, Exacting for His grim labor’s toll, the passing of many generations!

I thought you might of forgotten us. Glad you're back.

Great video! You should patent your special effects I liked it . Who be the next watchmaker to use it lol

A fine job of work, today must be screwdriver dressing day as this is the second new video i've seen today addressing it

Yay. Love the Humour and education you share. Thank you! (Ps. Your voice is still being clipped at the end of sentences. Noise filter artefact?)

Thanks!
