It's an impressive trade that goes underappreciated.

Broke his foot first day on the job. It was really sad to see.

I love this at every layer, but cinematically it's a masterpiece as much as the restoration itself. Just wonderful. Just silence and small sound, a bit of room hum. Good clean lighting and great macro camera work, which is hard to do. Especially when you're busy carrying out a restoration I should think. Maybe consider just the slightest of color grading, or a tad more if you're already adding some in post. May work like a lubricant or a finishing polish. An Oyster Perpetual is whole collection of philosophy like that, so that's why I thought I'd suggest it.

I have neither the knowledge, dexterity nor patience to perform this restoration, but I could watch these videos all day and find them fulfilling and relaxing. It's great to see a watch come back to life.

The simplicity and understated elegance of the case, dial and strap are what appeal to me. I have always loved these watches since as a teenager I saw some Rolexes displayed in a jeweller's shop window, and couldn't believe the prices, which started at about £350 at the time.

There's something so soporific about watching these videos, especially when they're not dubbed over with bad Euro pop/dance music. I must've dozed off half a dozen times only to be startled back by relatively quiet pop or bang of a spring or component being replaced. As a proud owner of a 1995 Oyster Perpetual Date, these videos are fascinating and give me even more appreciation for the intracacies and expert craftsmanship that went into the design and assembly of these timepieces, and makes me love it even more than I already do! Thanks for the informative and educational video.
