    Dear Mark, I just want to thank you so very much for sharing your knowledge and skill. Although I’ve been in the watch business for over 20 years, I only last year began learning how to service mechanical watches. Last week I took an exam over the 2824 for work and more than just passed it. I completely blew them away and it’s all due to having watched this video until I could do it in my sleep! Up next illl be studying the Rolex 3135 and am looking forward to it! Again, THANK YOU !!!!!

    It seems almost unbelievable that something so tiny and so complex can work at all, let alone work accurately to a couple of seconds per day for years at a time.
    Gives me an even greater appreciation for the thing that sits on my wrist and tells me the time.

    Thank you so much for making this video. I can't tell you how much it helped when I was installing taller hand gears. I'm working on my own watch design (as a hobbyist - not a professional) and needed more clearance under the hands to accommodate a more 3-dimensional design. When I first saw what it would take to replace the second gear, I almost gave up without trying. Thankfully, this video helped me. I will likely sign-up for one of your courses when I'm ready to focus more on movements.

  • @atilaatik7304
    @atilaatik7304 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    I've been planning to buy an automatic watch. I previously watched another complete stip-down service video on TH-cam with the idea that I'd service the watch after the first service myself, and after watching that video I thought "No wonder it cost so much to service an automatic watch, there is no way I'm opening an automatic watch with the silly idea I can service it myself." After watching this video, which is probably the best I will ever see, because the entire dismantle and rebuild is shown clearly step by step, I think I'm going to buy myself an automatic watch. So, thank you very much for sharing your knowledge and the detailed instructions were brilliant. A grateful and generously appreciative fellow human being.

    @markcoveryourassets 4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Thank you, friend. This really got me out of a jam. I have run into keyless works issues with the ETA 649x movements, especially with skeleton watch assembly, but those keyless works are forgiving. Clearly I have been pushing the release too hard on these smaller automatics, and after considering what they look like inside I can see where that could create too much room for the parts to loll about. By the way, in the US we have performance vehicles with an engine design called a Hemi. The phrase is, "Got a hemi in it?" For the watch in this video you could say, "Yes, I do!"
