      Much appreciated. That is the one thing I really try to make sure I get on video is the detail items that often get overlooked. Even still, sometimes I manage to forget to hit the record button, like when I adjusted the balance wheel end-shake. Oh well, there's always ways to improve. I appreciate you commenting on the detail in the videos. That's really where I try hard to set my videos apart.

    • @WeekendWatchRepair
      @WeekendWatchRepair  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Much appreciated! It is not a large watch by today's standards, as nearly all of them weren't that were made during that time. It is however a typical man sized watch of the time. I personally have larger sized wrists so that is why I keep XL length straps on hand. This watch would probably look much better on someone with regular sized wrists than mine (which are 8.25"). However, it is a classic watch and I'd wear it still. I have other vintage watches that are about this size and wear them regularly.

    • @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.
