Marshall, just confirming your "suspicion" that people who don't care about watches find this interesting. I am a video producer, and have no desire to buy expensive watches (or any non digital watch truthfully), yet I am addicted to your content, your ability to calmly walk through the process and provide a friendly space. I put your videos up while editing my videos as a calm way to drudge through hours of interviews. Thank you for keeping this hobby alive and available for those of us who are curious but have no interest in doing it ourselves.

Record while pretty unknown today was known for very high quality movements in the 40s and 50s. They even supplied movements for other companies like Ball. Longines bought them in 1961 and continued to sell the brand until 1991 but their heyday was long over. And as you can see from this watch, they were one of the first to use inca block shock protection.

For those interested, the radium lume is just as radioactive (half life 1600 years) as it was when the watch was new. The lume is made of radium and a phosphor. The radioactive decay of the radium stimulates the phosphor to glow, and that's what you see in the dark. The phosphor deteriorates and eventually doesn't glow. Fortunately the radium decay is alpha particles and they won't penetrate skin. Main hazard is breathing or ingesting any of the radium. My condolences to all the radium girls and other workers (and those close to them) who were indeed treated terribly and many not told the truth even after the hazard was recognized. BTW, tritium is similarly safe in watches but half life is MUCH shorter-just 12 years.

The major problem with radium was they would point the brush with their mouth. Over the corse of years they would ingest a sizable dosage of radium and as a heavy metal, it probably remained in the body for a long time. More careful handling of the material and there wouldn't have been many deaths but that that point in history the danger wasn't well known.

I also live in Denmark & this is also one of my favourite hobbies. My best find was a vintage Oris Worldtimer. Found it in an old barn converted into a thrift market. I bought it for 50kr (7 USD). It's amazing how many watches are discarded in these places! Great find by young Maximilian.

You're so right. I miss mine everyday in a way I'd find difficult to articulate. Make the most of every day you get with them.

Hi Marshall, just want to share my journey in watch making. Your videos has been an inspiration for me to fix my mom's wedding watch. I've been years ago decided to restore it but nobody in my country wanted to take on a watch as vintage and as small as my mom's 60s Seiko. Watching your videos, I finally got that push to try it myself. So i bought a skmei and 2 fngeen automatic watches to sacrifice as my test/training units. I broke one, got a slip of hand while trying to remove the case, ruined the hairspring assembly. The second one, a fngeen runs a bit weird, as the second hand sweeps irregularly. Got that one technically free, the seller just refund me without wanting the watch back. Its $15. So I disassembled it, reassembled it, does it several times and it wont work right until I found that a jewel has tiny crack on it. I harvest one from the ruined movement and it runs considerably smoother with +7 seconds a day. Then, I moved to my mom's watch. Its really just needed a service, its handwound only, so the mechanical side of thing is relatively much simpler but with much smaller parts. I needed a much better digital microscope for it. I really just disassembled it, clean it with ultrasonic cleaner and pegwood, and relubricate it. It runs now, and seeing my mom's adoring face seeing her watch returned to a working state makes me feel great, and I really just sacrificed a $15 watch to do it. Thank you for the videos, its a wealth of knowledge for an enthusiast like me and as I sees it now, for younger generations as well. I love these videos you made and the passion you've channelled through it. Thank you sir.

Just a tip about the ultrasonic cleaner, for those who might be novices with them. You can put your parts in a container or ziplock bag and the action will still work on the parts. So you can have the cleaner filled with regular water, and put your specific cleaners in your container with the parts. Allows your cleaner to go further, don't need to change water, and means your parts are nicely contained. Glass works best but plastic is ok.

I am a telephone cable splicer and was working on a noisy line in a city housing project once and one kid in particular took an interest in what I was doing. I let him see the microfische plat that showed the "map" of the cable I was working on, I brought down the corroded splice module to show him what was causing the noise, I showed him how my meter worked. Who knows where something like this can lead? Maybe the kid will be an engineer someday. Always share what you know!

Just watched a video interview of another of my favorite creators, Brennan Lee Mulligan, where he echoes your sentiment on mentoring: "When someone is looking for something and I can give it to them... there is nothing like the look on their face when they get it and make it their own... Lighting a second candle doesn't diminish the first. Knowledge is something that if you share it, there's just more. There's no scarcity."

Want to say “thank you” on several fronts here. First, for making a dream come true for a 15 year old. Second, for finding these old watches and breathing new life into them. Also, if it wasn’t for this video I never would have heard of the Record Watch Co and thus look it up on eBay. Because of that I found a 17 jewel Record watch movement from the 1940’s for under $25.00. I snapped it up. Will take it apart, clean oil and adjust it. If I am very lucky I will be able to case and dial it. Great find. All because of your video.

Marshall...of course, I already knew you were a great guy, but this video proves it. Been watching your videos for years and I don't even own a watch. Viewing your submissions are a guilty pleasure for me. The specialized tools, the camera work, and your voice overs are all top notch. Thank you.

The complicated engineering is incredible really. Thank you for sharing your interest. Your calm and understandable descriptions of an inherently complicated system were great. My dad was into clocks and watches. When I tried to buy him a set of repair tools, the people I spoke to were very protective of who they would sell to. They wouldn't sell to me as a gift to a hobbyist, for example. Later on, when I went to sell my dad's clocks, most of the questions were about old tools i might have.

Dear Marshall ! Do you at last know, why this watch was running so damn fast at the beginning?

You’re the surgeon for watches. Love your channel and it’s so relaxing watching how all the intricate parts of a watch go together. I never miss an episode.

Well Marshall it happened again. I was flipping through my feed and this episode came up and I started watching someone take apart and restore a watch something I haven’t worn in over 40 years. I kept thinking how does he know where all those pieces he pulls apart and places arbitrarily on a table go after he cleans them. Like all the other episodes I watched I sat here captivated and mesmerized by the number of moving parts and kept wondering how the heck do they make those tiny parts never mind the jewels. The cap to the episode was dedicating the rebuild to a 15 year old that must have contacted you hoping you could repair the watch. Your dedication to your craft and your generosity is to be commended. I may not ever take apart a watch but watching you do so in such a methodical manner makes me feel like I’m in the room with you while you are doing it.

Great work on one of the most likeable sorts of watch. Calling it simple is wrong, but it is not over-complex. I am no enthusiast for self-winding or automatic watches. Somehow the ritual of winding a watch every day is really a natural daily routine. You know you are going senile when you forget! Dear Marshall, your long form videos [on KZread] are ones that I attend to with spell-bound curiosity, just like Mr Carlson's Lab working on old electronic things like radios.

Maximilian, My grandfather got me into watches/clocks also. He was well known in the clock world restoring old clocks. I would go to clock/watch shows with him to sell and buy things he worked on. One of my best childhood memories is that he would let me sit at his workbench with him and he explained what he was doing very much how Marshall does, but I was only 5 years old at the time. Later on my grandfather bought me a nice vintage (1970s) watch at one show and then I inherited one when he passed that I was there when he bought it. I treasure these two watches and they are not expensive in value but the memories of great times with my grandfather is worth more than they ever will be worth on their own. I'll have to have them both repaired sometime but I'll never get rid of them. I've since collected a few of my own watches and a couple cool clocks and it's all because of my interest that he sparked. Enjoy this watch that Marshall so amazingly restored and best of luck on finding your own to work on or just enjoy. I wish you all the best and spend time with your grandpa while you can. Marshall, you're a great person for explaining the work on this one for Maximilian.It was so nice of you to send him a kit of yours.

Thanks for the extra time explaining the main spring and its ends. Most watch videos gloss over how it connects to the rest of the watch.

Great video and especially love the story behind it. Glad to see the next generation getting interested in watches, best of luck to Maximillian!
