    My absolute favorite watch. When my father died it was the only thing of his that I actually wanted because he had gotten it during the war and wore it for 40 + years, but it mysteriously "disappeared" at the hospital where he was at the end, and it was literally the only thing I wanted, everything else went to my sister. I have looked at tanks since then but they are just simply too expensive for me. Watching you rebuild this was incredibly satisfying and beautiful and it brought back many beautiful memories of my father. Thank you

    As a fellow watchmaker who spent his fair time restoring watches like this I must say outstanding job! My only criticism would be that you went a bit heavy on the case, working with sandpaper fixed to a plain piece of wood like you did with the crown probably would have allowed you to keep more of the shape and make it less „round“ but otherwise like I said, outstanding job!

    I just wanted to take a moment to say how amazing your video was! I was really impressed with the quality of the footage, the editing, and the overall presentation. You did a great job of explaining the topic in a clear and concise way, and I learned a lot from watching your video.
    I also really appreciated the way you made the video engaging and entertaining. You kept my attention throughout the entire video, and I never felt bored or lost. I would definitely recommend your video to anyone who is interested in learning more about the video.
    Thanks again for making such a great video! I look forward to watching more of your content in the future.
