Some of my favorite words to hear at the beginning of a KZread Video: "Hello there and welcome back to another video here on Wristwatch Revival. My name is Marshall. Thank you so much for coming along." It just makes me happy.

It's so satisfying to watch multiple problems being solved. This is a complicated watch with unusual challenges to get it running again. Thank you for another great journey, Marshal.

Very cool! I'm from Victoria and net Jim Hume and played rugby at the same time as his sons (back in the 1970s). Wonderful to see you restore his watch.

I was checking Mr. Jim Hume’s blog. Incredible, his last post was on April 1st this year, he passed on April 13th. Really a remarkable example for us to follow! Very interesting reading, pity I didn’t know about his blog before! RIP Mr. Hume 🙏🏼 If you wish to check his blog, search Jim Hume British Columbia. Thanks Marshall! Maybe the secret for a long profitable life is a mechanical watch? 😉 ⏰

I had to Google "Jim Hume journalist" and found that he passed in April 2022. And what an amazing read on all the posts of his obituary. That watch is part of Vancouver history! R.I.P. Mr. Hume

Awesome Marshall, it's an early frosty morning here in England, and I'll settle in and watch this as I warm up and get ready for my day, the perfect way to start 😀

One of the perks of having a 4k monitor is getting to watch your videos in the best quality possible. It really makes the movements shine that much more once you get them clean.

I love how Marshall doesn't get fazed when things - to my totally unexpert eyes - go catastrophically wrong, like the main spring leaping out and unfurling! He just gets the right tool and fixes it. Respect.

Imagine being Jim Hume having lived through WW2 experienced the invention of the vinyl record into magnetic tapes into compact disks into fully digital streaming media. Imagine having halls full of shelves replaced by rooms full of equipment with magnetic tape storage into being able to store billions of pages of written text into a device the size and thickness of a fingernail, the invention and spread of home phone lines into cellphones into smartphones and a furniture size tube driver radio receiver turned even bigger furniture television turned color, turned from tiny CRT to big CRT to projection to LCD to plasma and now flexible OLEDs as thin as cardboard... It is astounding what humanity achieved within about 150 years from first steps in electronic and simple circuitry into the first semiconductor transistors making tubes obsolete into logical clusters of millions of those with each being only a few hundreds of atoms in size...

it never ceases to amaze me, that every time the watch comes back to life, it's like seeing a tiny little beating heart! And I love that! But the other thing is, I'm amazed at how Marshall can take apart a timepiece, with all of the endless parts like springs, wheels, and screws, and know where each little piece goes! Marshall, you must be a man with great patients! LOL!! Thanks for another history lesson about each watch you work on!

half of the fun of these videos are the stories behind them, the other half are Marshall’s reactions to the watches and his tools. he’s like the kid who gets a new toy, toys that are hard to not justify showing to everyone else and a kid who is simply overly enthusiastic but not gloating

This guy is the Bob Ross of watch restoration. Love watching and relaxing on the couch while you do it.

I watch several watch youtubes, but no one, I repeat no one, narrates as sympathetically and as informatively as you. Thank you.

I remember Mr. Hume. Reading his articles. Thank You for pulling out the memories.

I finally found my grandfather’s watch and would love to have it restored

Rotary - the first watch I wore, a gift from my Dad.

Yes!!!! Another amazing watch and another amazing journey! I feel like you're really getting into your groove now Marshal. It's great to be able to go on this journey with you. Can't wait for the next one. Take care.

You know you have been sucked into something when rather than just stumbling across content you actively look out for and look forward to the next instalment. This one did not disappoint thanks Marshall and I will look forward to the next one.

Lovely job and great awareness!. Hope you didn't get a smack in the face from that main spring!, I nearly broke a finger letting down a spring in a clock!, Dangerous things. Beautiful watch, my era. Well done Marshall. Adrian.

Truly beautiful restoration . From Sechelt BC we love you and Jim Hume 💕🇨🇦

I knew the sum total of zero about watches until I started watching these posts from Marshal, I love them, I also spotted that the pallet fork hadn`t located first time so, brownie points to me!! Keep them coming Marshal!

I've said it before but for me this is one of the most interesting and relaxing channels to watch on KZread so thanks once again for sharing.

Thank you for sharing!

Aha! So mixing up screws is a problem. Thanks for not editing that out. After watching many of your videos, I always felt that selecting the incorrect screw during restoration would be one of my biggest fears. Excellent video.

Amazing history on the man who owned the watch. Thank you Marshall for another great video.

Enjoyable as always, that band brings back memories of the commercial "The Speidel Twit-O-Flex; so flexible, you can tie it in a knot". Thanks!

Another great job! And a very nice touch putting on the old type writer at the end! I'm sure they will cherish the watch for years to come...

I much rather watch your vidéos than the official news here. Tanks Marshall for this successful renewal.

Thanks Marshall, the best 45 minutes of my week! It's great to hear the stories and see the restoration of these old timepieces.

My favorite video so far! I loved to see the process of fixing this problems you were finding out. 😊

Hands down, my favourite part of collecting _anything_ vintage is getting to hear all the fascinating stories & history that come as part of the package.... and to be honest, I'm more impressed that little Rotary survived decades of solid use including salmon fishing than I am about who Jim was fishing with! What a wonderful timepiece to share with us - thanks Marshall! 👌

Hi Marshall, my name is Justin. I just turned 40 and a couple weeks before I turned 40 I started getting into mechanical wrist watches. I found your channel and have been hooked. I love watching your videos at night before bed. I will watch this one tonight!😊

Love the recent restorations with such beautiful stories, adds a little something extra!

Great service, very nice and clear recording, beautiful watch, wonderful content. Thanks for sharing, Marshall.

Thank you so much for posting these watch restorations. It is so impressive and relaxing to see how these tiny machines work. Can't wait to see the next video.

Another great restoration with some interesting troubleshooting. Thanks for taking us along on this journey.

Your videos are more captivating than 90% of Netflix series. I didn't see the 45 minutes pass.

Beautiful work as always Marshall! Your work is truly inspirational.

Once again a great video of the restoration of this simple but lovely watch. Thanks for sharing your passion and skill with us all.

Thank you for showing us when problems arise! It's nice to watch your troubleshooting process.

Spidel Twist-o-flex. Great for pulling arm hair. Nice job, as always.

I rewatch your videos now and then and I just watched one where you did a pocket watch from the 1880s. In doing so I'm reminded of a question as to how in those days they calibrated watches and clocks the way you do with an electronic time graph? That fascinates me

It is so enjoyable to watch you work and breathe life back into an old watch. You have such a good presentational style and you make it look easy, which I think is the sign of a true professional.

I'm so glad that so many other people share the same passion for watches. Thanks Marshall for your dedication.

this videos are always so fascinating and beautiful. movements themselves are entrancing to look at, even if they're ancient and covered in rust and dirt and caked-on grease. this is going to come off as a not-complement but i swear that's not how i mean it: these videos are basically one of the only things that help me sleep. i've got really bad chronic pain issues plus The Horrors that keep me up at night and your voice and the nice calm methodical approach to things is exactly what i needed to knock my ass out flat. this channel is the only reason i'm functional on the bad days. thanks for all that you do

another great story and great timepiece. Fabulous job and I trust the owner will wear it with pride. Glad you made it happen for him!

Really cool! Another great journey with you! Waiting for the next one! Take care. Thanks Marshal!

your the Robert Woods of watch repair I love watching you at work

Great repair Marshal. Thanks again for the instructions and commentary

Thanks Marshall. It was nice to see an old Rotary getting worked on. I have one that I had when I was younger and have only recently been able to get it fixed so it's now running really we. Mine has an AS ST 1950/51 movement. Thanks again!

Nice salute to typewriter repairmen at the end. Our family business was just that for 50 years. Cheers 🇨🇦

I have watched so many of your videos I can listen to you and know what you're talking about. This means I can tend to the baby and still not miss a thing you are doing. Another excellent cleaning.

And we are lucky to have witnessed you work your magic on this gorgeous time capsule of a watch

I didn't look for this but extremely glad I got here. The editting, narration, quality, precision and most importantly watches. That brings back my childhood when my grandfather used to fix watches, I was there looking how he does all of it for hours and hours. Thank you for bringing my memories back! One of the best things that happened today. Great work! Thank you.

This was awesome love the beauty of this rotary watch

I love how you said Rotary aren't really around anymore and yet because of your channel I've been obsessed with over the last couple of months, I literally asked for a Skeleton Watch from Rotary for Christmas off my Dad as he has always been big into watches.

This really is the best watch repair channel. It's so relaxing to watch too!

I have such a soft spot for those old stretchy bands. Some of my earliest memories were playing with my mom's watch that had a similar but thinner band just like this one.

One of the best watch servicing videos I have ever seen love how you include the mistakes you made as well somehow you manage to make this interesting for the whole time

I love vintage rotary watches they just look fantastic to me. Not sure if the movement in this case was manufactured by rotary themselves because a trademark they used to do was decorating the ratchet wheel with engraved sort of wings but I supposed they would have been on the more expensive watches. I have a rotary supersports cushion watch from the 30s and an Eterna rectangular watch from the 20s that are both 9ct gold and have rotary movements with those wings on the ratchet wheel. Love what you do Marshall, amazing workmanship ❤ Edit- after commenting I noticed the AS stamp on the movement

Excellent video Marshall! Love to see the evolution of your videos they started with a solid bunch of maintenance videos where you would fix or replace a few small things to this video where you are full diagnosing and repairing mode. It’s great to see your confidence in repair growing

Hope you're still doing this at 98, Marshall! My fav, most relaxing YT channel. Thanks for another great video!

A talented man you are, nice to see that you could repair it for the son.

A very interesting story of a decent life of a respected person. And these hours are part of his life. Thank you for your hard work.

I absolutely love these videos, as I watch I lose all concept of time and space. I am always amazed that you can remember where every screw and part goes during the repair. You make it look so easy, thank you for another enjoyable and relaxing journey.

Sooooo satisfying. Love how you figured out the issue with the calendar wheel not clicking over.... masterful stuff 😎

This channel is so amazing. It's kinda got a little bit of everything (ASMR mechanical tiny pieces) but it's super satisfying. Excellent work! Thanks for posting!

Watching this I realized the skill that flies under the radar here is the camera work that gives us the viewer a birds eye view on your disassembly and reassembly. I recently struggled to capture a full size object with clarity under decent lighting, etc,.. well, not as easy as it looks for sure. Thanks for taking us along on the journey. :)

A great restoration. Far more interesting when things don't go according to plan and you have to figure out what is causing the issues. Thanks for sharing. From the UK.

@14:55 very satisfying seeing those pieces presented so neatly

Good work, Marshall, another piece of heritage preserved.

Another wonderful story and great restoration!

There is something very pleasing to hear about a watch that has been worn for so long and on so many special occasions. Especially, as it seems like that Jim Hume did wear it as it's only watch.

Typewriter in the background was a nice touch.

The old “Twist-O-Flex” bracelet, I remember the commercials when I was a little kid. I believe you can still buy them today.

The only thing exceeding the skill of the restoration is Marshall's easy, informative narration. 1+1=10! Thank you for a gratifying 45 mins.

Awesome job. Love the narrative, makes me feel like I have a connection to to owner. My dad collected watches, mostly junk but he had so much fun (trying) to repair them. The videos do make me miss him more, in a good way of course, so thank you! I actually gave him a Citizen watch when I was 16 and my brothers said I should take it back after he passed. It is battery powered, but a good solid piece.

Nice job! Way to persevere and work through all the issues.

That is a great closing picture with the watch sitting on an old, 1950s or 1960s, typewriter. I have to wonder, how far did you have to go to get that shot? Every time I see one of these videos I think, "Oh, I really don't want to spend 45 minutes on a video." Then I start watching and the time flies by. They are so well done with the voice-over narration. I suspect that putting these videos together takes much longer than the actual repair. Thank you.

Your videos relax me and you're very good at what you do. Thank you for your content!

You sir, are talented, with a steady hand, and with excellent observation gifts, as well as good eye sight, methodical work character, and mechanical intuition!

Not all heroes wear capes! What an amazing transformation! And thank you for sharing such an amazing story :)

I love these watches with provenance and photos to back it up!

Marshall, saving one watch at a time! Another awesome restoration!

I like how you're talking to the spring like a dog. Sit! Sit! Stay!

The watch sitting on the typewriter at the close was a nice touch.

Absolutely brilliant 👏 thanks 👍

Fantastic restoration and beautiful watch!

I had several watches that I had to replace the band, and the Spidel bands were always the best and most-rugged of the replacement-types. I never had one break and after a while I could put them on the next watch. My favorite was one that had black painted-segments, it went well with so many watches...

Yes Rotary are still alive and kicking. What a shame they don't still produce a simple classic wrist watch like this one.

Thanks, nicely done.

That was a beautiful looking watch; all goldeny inside...

Great session, enjoyed watching your dedication to this craft of watch restoration.

Such a classy piece

I just read Jim Hume's "life and times" article by his son. Very interesting and touching. A working guys kind of friend to all, he wrote about. A recommended read. Great job on the watch, too.
