    Love this. That Hamilton is a classic example of the simple elegance of 1960s watches.

    You sound like Marshall on wristwatch revival ,your pretty good I need a microscope

    • @WeekendWatchRepair
      @WeekendWatchRepair  ปีที่แล้ว

      I've heard that a few times now. I seriously do not hear any similarities. Marshall's voice is superb for this type of narration. Mine makes me cringe! Thanks though, lol. Yes, a stereo microscope was an absolute game changer for me. I'd highly recommend getting one if you want to delve into this hobby. I still have loupes (which I never really could get used to), and use them on rare occasion, but mostly I work under the microscope.

    • @WeekendWatchRepair
      @WeekendWatchRepair  ปีที่แล้ว

      Great suggestion. I have my eye on a couple, as it's something I'd really like to show on the channel. It is just a cost thing for me, as I am purchasing all of the watches shown on the channel. I've done my own Swiss chronographs before I began filming. Now that I have a channel to consider content for, I've been looking for a good project at a reasonable cost. Hopefully one of these days I'll find the right watch. It just has to be something that'll make for a good project, but also be something that I'll want to add to my collection once it's completed. I'm really glad to hear that you are enjoying the channel. Thanks a bunch!
