I don't really believe that it's being "told off," it's forceful constructive criticism and it's worth listening to. Everyone wants to do the best job that they can do but over time, we all get into Bad Habits and Cut Corners. This is alright if we still are achieving the best job that we can do..... but when our work suffers and we carry on with the Bad Habits, we need pointing in the right direction and told how and why we are making a mistake. Accepting that constructive criticism, Accepting that we aren't doing the best job that we can do and accepting the fact that in every aspect of our lives, there's always something to learn and there's always someone better than us.... That's the humility!

It breaks my heart to think of how many beautiful watch movements like this one have been chucked, destroyed, biffed and forgotten when all they need is a bit of care and some expertise. This was another wonderful adventure and bittersweet too.

Can we take a moment to admire what a cracking colour and texture the mechanism body is? Another watch that deserves a glass back!

Yes, so much beauty hidden to the wearer. Do we know what the plating is to get that beautiful rose gold?

These videos are such a lovely change from my usual entertainment of old machinery restoration, which often consists of blokes bashing the crap out of old rusty iron with big hammers and gas torches. It's nice to know that not all problems are solved with a big hammer.

I had a head injury nine months ago, But watching your work and how calm you are has done wonders for me, From all of us here in California we say thank you.

With the watches I've worked on, mostly vintage American pocket watches, screws generally fit correctly only where they belong. Some of them, such as bridge screws, might be interchangeable, but others, like those holding down the setting lever or click, probably are not.

Can I ask how much that bag of watches cost? They all look like really nice ones. Looking forward to seeing more of them.

Awesome! You got a few Omega's. I do love those vintage types. See you got a tissot, got the T-classic myself and sadly it is not real gold but got it new way WAY under price! Thank you eBay! I was thinking you had a couple of Omega there. Maurice Lacroix, I knew that one was a gem, well to me anyway.. I knew I would be jealous. I would like to ask, what was the 80's 90's looking round, black face watch with the gold? No numbers just the hour and minute hand. Anyway you look like you got a winner there. For the record, I hate gold plating, in fact I just had to order more solution. I am trying to steer away from plating altogether! OMG the inside surprised the heck out of me! When I saw all that fuzz and hair wrapped around the crown stem I started to gag, then you pull it out of the case, flip it over and like I said, surprised the heck out of me. I cannot remember any used or old watch that looked that good with maybe the exception of my railway Rockford pocket watch. Can't wait to see what you do to that fine lady.. Let me know if you want a 20lb bag of more old vintage gals.. The really really small ones I will have to sell as is. I already got most of them cleaned and running great again.. BTW so many watch brands out there it's not even funny! Anyone ever hear of a Sears watch? Mind you it was made by Sears and even though it is a mechanical manual. Still looks pretty cheap, like it was made at Sears lol. Its nice and clean, runs great now, even took out the scratched up plastic lens out and replaced it with a cheaper crystal. Cheaper as in I didn't hardly pay anything for the who lot of many different sizes from a pawn and jewelry shop that I do a lot of watch repairs and some clock repairs for. They don't like to take clocks unless they know its one I am looking out for. Mainly its Rolex's Rolex's and a pocket watch here or there, then more Rolex's! Honestly I am NOT a Rolex fan. I do like the more rare ones with the leather or gator straps and like mine that has an actual pearl face with platinum case.. I only wore it three times in my life. Wonder if I will ever get to wear my Breitling.. Good luck Mr. Watchmaker! Look forward to seeing what you do as always..

Once again, another marvel of watch repair excellence. I really appreciated that you are using wood to take the bridges out. Very often I see people using metal to pry bridges off or reset shock settings. The visible scratches left behind are like scars on my soul. Those scratches may never change the operations of the watch, but they may also introduce metal grit into the workings and stop the watch cold. Either way, using wood or plastic on metal is the gentlest and kindest way to get the job done.
