Very interesting. I have a 1917-built grade 610 Waltham I inherited from my grand father. I will need to do a full service at some point. It can run for 23h on a full wind and doesn’t loose too much on that period. But you can tell the jewels make the gears struggle.

I have a Waltham, American Watch Co. that belonged to my great grandfather. It needs glass and a sub second hand and a bow. It will run, but only if it's laying flat. The silver case is hallmarked in Birmingham in 1896, and has seen a lot of action. Personally I like the dinks and the patina because it shows its history and that it was clearly a daily use watch. I'd love to get it properly working.

I have not attempted to operate it to preclude causing undue damage or wear until it can be professionally serviced.

@MacroTime28800

It’s nice to own such an old pocket watch that belonged to your grandfather. Pocket watches always give me a pleasant nostalgic feeling. It will most likely need a service but don’t be afraid to give it a wind to see whether it works, try to set the time too but don’t force anything. If you feel any resistance then you must stop doing whatever you’re doing. It might have been used for many years without being serviced and if it runs for a few hours it will make no difference, nothing serious will happen. The watchmaker will set the time and will wind it anyway to see whether it works.

Thank you very much! I try to make them as clear as possible so almost anyone could follow my videos. I’m glad to hear you find them helpful.

Excellent video! Please give us more like this! Wrist watches too please. Great job. Loved it.

More to come! And wrist watches too 👍

A thoroughly professional renovation on this exquisite Waltham watch. (I knew a watchmaker who was an instructor at the Waltham school in the 1940s, during the war.) Your videography was as carefully done as the watch repair; clearly such a video was not banged out in an hour. In focus, in frame, well-lighted, judicious use of slow-motion, well I’ll stop gushing now.

Your comment caused a sudden imbalance of chemicals in my body, it was predominantly dopamine that was rushing through my brain. Joking aside, it’s really nice to hear that you appreciate the work I put into my videos. I can’t produce them as often as I would like but there’s more to come 👍

Great camera work on this watch restoration. I really like the details of the work you are doing. Very good job, Thanks

Thank you, more to come! The hand polishing and bluing tutorial should be finished and published in couple of weeks.

Wonderful video, as usual Leo. I can’t imagine how much work goes into producing the quality video shots that you do, while still accomplishing the work at strange angles I’m sure. I also enjoy you occasional dry humor as well. Thank you very much.

Great work! As someone who just started learning watch service/repair during the pandemic, I find this content extremely helpful. I also just got my 1st elgin pocket watch Grade 572. So I'll be servicing it in the near future while watching this video to remind me of the lubrication points 👍subscribed
