      @@tetedur377 yes! That is standard practice, those are previous watchmakers that have serviced this piece. They used to actually etch it into the case back but we’ve since moved on to just Sharpie’s. It does a great job of letting each watchmaker how long it’s been and that helps us know what we might be needing to take a closer look at when we do an initial look.

    I've actually only just stumbled across your channel and find this absolutely fascinating. You actually gave me the confidence to remove the back of my Armani watch to reset the automatic winder (not sure if that's what it's called) which had popped off and I got it working again. It was my 21st birthday present from my mum so over 10 years old now. What amazes me still is how you just pop the bits down and know what to put where when you're rebuilding the watch. I hope to get one of these kits to build my own watch and explore the hobby further! I guess I'm saying thanks for spending the time making these videos.

    Great Job Marshall! You are right (at least in my case).. I have been working on cars and small engines since I was a little kid and continue to this day. About the watch cleaning machine.. I did want one. However they are kind of expensive and hard to find. So for now I use four flat sided jars in a base and a basket system I made. The jars contain one with L&R #111, two with #3 and one with 99.5% IPA. The basket I made is attached to a steel rod and I lower the basket with the parts into the solutions and spin them by hand for about 5 minutes each and then using a cordless drill to spin fluid off of each one before moving on to the next. I then dry with a regular old hair dryer I bought for the purpose. This works wonderfully well for me for now. I do have plans and a parts list laid out to build my own little machine so I don't have to do it by hand anymore. In the end it will cost me about 200 dollars. Its a good solution for me anyway.

    Being from a mechanical background I’m absolutely amazed by not only the complexity, but the level of craftsmanship on these older watches. Like, you think that a car engine from the 60s was ahead of its time, but then you see a watch with its intricate details at a vastly smaller scale and it’s absolutely astonishing.
    I’m always awestruck watching these and am split on attempting to pick this up as a hobby because I have several watches that need some TLC.

    Hello. At around 17min mark. Your talking about the artistic/mechanical mix of watch works. For me, i find the vintage, mechanical watches as 1 of the closest examples of mechanical beauty that people have achieved. Really, when i think of the mastery of manufacturing processes involved in making these small, intricate, perfect parts and gears. The engineering and design and assembly involved.
    Truly extraordinary achievements.
    For this reason, among others, im drawn to vintage mechanical watches. I love the simplistic dials of that time. The sound of their workings. Everything about them.
    Thank you for your content and explanations.
    Take care.

    Re Servicing watches:- Every 5 to 10 years Rolex would like you to write them a blank cheque and allow them to service the watch. They decide what needs to be replaced through wear or not being original. This also applies to the bracelet if you are daft enough to let them get their hand on it. (They also apparently keep all the old parts)
    How much of modern day Rolex is just down to advertising and their tight control of product availability? I have always wanted a Rolex but there is no way that they are worth the price-bubble of today.

    I figured it out.
    You are the reason I enjoy these videos.
    You calmly explain what everything is and what it does.
    You have a good time (most of the time) and that comes through the videos.
    The enthusiasm you have can be felt and is contagious.
    It is rare anymore for people, men in particular, to be sincere.
    It is "cool" to be aloof, to not care about anything.

      I wanted a hobby where I could work with my hands again (don’t have space to work on cars anymore), and I am mostly self taught, though I did take the classes from Mark Lovick from watchfix.com and they were very useful for me starting out.

    I love to turn on your channel as the most chill, calming background sound when I'm working (I work from home). I'd love to see more of the brands you talked about that are crazy high end like you talked about on another video (much higher than Rolex because of fit and finish of the mechanism, etc). Only because I'd love to see you challenge yourself more and more because you're amazing! Love ya and the channel!

    Hey, Marshall! In the gap between your last video and this one, I was actually given a mechanical watch second-hand! Unfortunately, it's not running very well, and the one guy near my home who works on mechanicals can't figure out what's wrong with it. It's a basic manual-wind watch without any calendar or chronograph options, and it will randomly lose 5 or 6 minutes after running true for a few weeks, even when wound fully every day. I still love it though, and it has become my everyday wear.
    I'm only sorry I don't have the knowhow or access to tools within my budget, so I could try to get it better myself.
    Have you ever worked on HMT watches? They are a goverment-owned company that makes reasonably affordable mechanical watches.

    When you put all the pieces in the basket for washing aren't you concerned about them bashing into each other especially when the basket is spinning? The pallet fork jewels for example are easily damaged.

      I wondered the same. I mean obviously it doesn't so I guess them being submerged and being so light weight equals no damage. But, yeah, the speed/force with which it was rotating the mesh baskets surprised me too.

      No, being suspended in liquid essentially takes all of the risk out. Even then, I do put the smaller stuff together and the bigger stuff in the other basket though :)
