      There are many of us addicted to watches after watching the master at work :)

    a watch that age deserves to retain some of the character it's developed over the years, so that gentle approach to the polishing seems very appropriate to my mind

    What I really love besides watching you and your amazing skills and outlook on life, is that you let Mr. Trouble HELP YOU OUT! That is SO important for a child's self confidence and sense of worth. My children are all grown up. I wish I'd done more of that with mine. You are a superb human being.

    I really like that you have shown us the full video of the watch and box restoration by chapter. You have created a great buzz to see the final video. Every step so far looks like perfection. We are all waiting with baited breath for the final reveal.

    Very nice job. It looks great. I've collected mostly vintage Rolex over the years and that Omega band looks like it was made JB Champion as with many USA marked Rolex bands were. They of course had Rolex markings. This was a time when many Swiss watch companies were shipping the heads minus the band to high tarrif countries and then the dealer would fit these JB made bands. I also need to get that small metal vise you used in towards the end as I want to start rebuilding my stretching bands with new pins. That would be a nice video for you to do.

    Not watched one of these in ages. My dad has an old Omega Chrono, the same one that they wore on the moon apparently. It's an absolute beauty but he has been unable to get a battery for it. Anyone got any thoughts on this? I would love to get to get it sorted for him. Thanks for the great video bud.

    Wonderful work and am looking forward to the big reveal , I can never understand how people get these valuable pieces in such a terrible state. I never used a decent watch for work , just a plastic case cheap o . The thought of having a future classic being bashed to bits at work is to me totally bonkers 😂 But it takes all sorts as they say Best wishes and kind regards as always 👍👍👍

    Another fantastic video. Thanks you very much for taking the time to do these. I would love a video about how you became a watchmaker. What training you went through. Did you have to serve an apprenticeship? how long have you been doing it? how many makes have you worked on? thanks

  • @jbacon1861
    @jbacon1861 ปีที่แล้ว

    Thanks for posting this. I have been wanting to get a pie pan constellation with a bead on rice bracelet. But, the bracelets are often quite worn. I was wondering if they could be refurbished and who does that service.

  • @geoff4383
    @geoff4383 ปีที่แล้ว

    Its good practice to label containers with their contents in case there is an accident, you may know what's in the container but you may not be there.
    When there has been an accident the medical staff need to know what a chemical is so that they do not make things worse and to know the best treatment to give.
    Having the right data sheet for the product to hand is just what medical persons would like given to them.
    May as well read the data sheet when you print the copy.🙏

    You should see the state of my dad's spare gold plated case/bracelet for his square omega constellation. Looks like he sweated acid.
    The stainless steel one it's currently on is just 'worn' but since he cracked the acrylic crystal and stupidly carried on using it, the silver dial is green and the mechanism no longer works. Judging by the fact that the case back screws are rust, I think the mechanism is one block of rust.
    He was such an oaf with everything from watches to cars.
