A great hobby. And not for what it does for the watches, but for what it does for the mind of the person working with the watches. THAT is where the attraction lies for me.

I m a retired watchmaker in Sweden and I did find all that fascinating (the oil on the balance jewels made me laugh as it happens for me too) not only for your skills but for the filming that s absolutely amazing. I hope people realise how small those parts are and how clear the picture is! Amazing result really . I guess that oiling pallets and stems is kind of premium rate and would bore people. There is so much work behind that video, obvious and non obvious, and I really appreciated it! Now looking forward to look at your other videos. I appreciated the humour, the patience, and your humility that many people in that profession lack… the explanations and comments are prime too, beautiful work indeed! I loved that video 👍thanks

As a mechanical watch enthusiast who doesn't really understand movements I have to say that watching that was one of the most peaceful 50 minutes of my life. I'm still not much wiser but my God those tiny springs and little plates holding other bits in place. And the way that you have to to carefully seat everything with such precision, not to mention the multiple grades of oil that are used on the jewels versus cogs versus everything else. Absolutely fascinating. Thank you.

I have a background in video production. It takes a really long time to shoot and edit a video this long. It's an hour long video with constant cuts from various cameras that likely have to be synced in post (not necessary for certain moments). Regardless, there's a lot of work that isn't shown beyond the hour long video. The lighting is simple but works really well and is often neglected by most creators. The macro shots are well composed. The audio is clean, crisp, and done in post after the timeline is cut together. The whole flow and pacing of these videos are done very well. His post commentary is really at the heart of these. He makes it entertaining for just about anyone who watches. It It really pulls everything together. He really goes all out on these, and I imagine that most people don't fully understand or appreciate the true professionalism at work here. Undoubtedly, some people are going to minimize his work. That's okay. This man is so graciously humble. I doubt he would mind if his work goes unrecognized by the few that don't care. He clearly has a good head on his shoulders and knows his worth. Let there be no mistake; this guy is a legend who produces free high-quality, informative, entertaining, and engaging content.

It's actually really helpful, that you mention the name and function of the parts briefly in every video.

My brother took the watch, but it hasn't worked in years. He sent it to 3 different Rolex repair shops, and it was returned with a note saying they could not open it.

Fascinating. First time watching someone restore a watch. I had my dad's watch restored after he died and I inherited it. I wasn't familiar with the brand. It's a Juvenia from the late 60s. The crystal was all scratched up and it wasn't running. I took it to our family jeweler, but he doesn't do that kind of work so he sent it out to someone else. Well long story short, it came out beautifully. I thought it was a wind up watch but it wasn't. It was a full automatic. And it has a calendar function between the 4 and 5 o'clock positions. They put a beautiful classic black leather strap on it which makes the light colored watch face pop. I feel my dad with me every time I wear it.

Hi! I only have one watch, a gift from my then-fiancee, and now a wife of 7 years.

Watching your videos gave me enough confidence to take it apart myself and fix it. I can now wear them, and it's an incredibly rewarding feeling. Just wanted to let you know you have an impact even on people who don't own a single mechanical watch :)

I'm like many others that watch this channel, I'm not a watch maker or repair person, but with all the small to extremely tiny parts of watches, dropping or parts going to the floor is bound to happen over time! You should have concluded that wayyyy before setting up your repair shop, and not have used [carpet] on your floor! Just plain lenoleum would have sufficed for that type of work. And knowing that over 90% of watches you are taking apart will end up going into the wash, you should place the wash closer to your station to minimize travel while carrying or moving the parts container to get washed and also to return for assembly ~~~ I guess I've been paying attention some...🤭🤭🤫🙄 Be well and thank you for your contribution to saving such wonderful pieces of artwork and machinery!👍👌✨

Great job on this rare watch. Omega's are some of the best. Have been collecting for over 50 years. You are very professional and have a great attitude. God bless

I feared that watching this would open a rabbit hole. My fear was not unfounded. What an amazing video.

I came across this video randomly in my suggested. Never been a watch "enthusiast" but I'm now beyond intrigued in the process of how these are made/repaired. Wow. Great video. Gained a new sub!

I'm so, so fascinated how you can remember where all the tiny components go after stripping down to clean and putting back together. Kudos to you Sir.

I wish I could send you a broken watch that I have to work on. Your passion shows through in this entire video and that is amazing.

I love how you still keep a playmat around. Super happy for your success with this new venture! It's great to see so many of the audience commenting and engaging with your content as well! Congrats Marshall!

@@breiter4798 ...at least THIS vintage was house made by Omega....years later the Swiss watch industry were crushed by the technically more accurate electronic watches from Japan....so they (the Swiss) grouped together as a sort of loose consortium....to create SWATCH. So there aren't any more "one-brand-only" Swiss watches that don't share the inner workings anymore....maybe now only the boutique brands that cost maybe $20,000. Or perhaps Rolexes costing $8000-$10,000.

I am a retired commercial diver (saturation) and had this same watch for years...of course, you can't wear any watch at saturation depths and moving heavy stuff around so it never was dove.......not sure what happened to it.. I traded it for a Smith and Wesson 44 mag revolver. I love watching stuff be fixed and put back into operation and loved watching you put this beauty back in service.

This channel is an absolute gem.. I know nothing about watches, the best one I own is a citizen eco drive I got for 10 years service at work.. but I could watch these videos until the cows come home..

I’m amazed at how you remember where all the intricate parts go after taking it apart.

It's called studying and practice and notes.

Watching this was surprisingly therapeutic and relaxing. Not so much so that you may fall asleep because you are completely glued to the entire process! Brilliantly filmed and intricately narrated with a clear to the ear understanding of what is being said. This video made me want to take up this art! However, i probably won’t. Thank you for taking the time of putting this together. It was truly a delight. 🙂

This is so true, I didn't want anything heavy to watch at the end of a long day and I randomly clicked on this noticed it was over 50 minutes and I was nope not going to watch all of these and then here we are at the end and nice and relaxed.

This channel has got me back into mechanical watches. I hadn't worn a watch for the last 10 years and I'd given mine to my son, who likes them. I didn't appreciate the intricacies of it all. Its just fantastic.

I really enjoy you working on these watches. I am a car builder and also build airplanes. It is so fascinating to learn how other mechanical thing in life work. My grandfather was a watch smith when I was young. He had 4 watches on each arm and tried to keep them all in sync. I do have some of his equipment but I would rather watch you repair them. Thank you for sharing your expertise with all of us.

You are the person I would leave my watches for repair without fear RESPECT

I’ve now seen enough of your videos to say this with some level of confidence… You’re the Bob Ross of KZread. Your confidence, skill, and kind demeanor make me believe that I too could do this kind of work.

I've never, ever, seen this operation before and it's absolutely astonishing to see, listen & learn. Thank you very much for letting us into this micro-world of precision working AND steady hands! Your filming & editing skills match your horological (if that's the correct term) expertise!

I just sat through an hour video watching a dude restore a watch... with my mouth hanging open... totally engaged. WOW!

man I love your sense of humour the springs with the tattoos and this one has it been on the bottom of the ocean for 20 years

I think it's amazing the we've been able to engineer such tiny components for well over 100 years.

@@bossmoderhino6109 Try about 500 years, if you want to be pedantic :) 16th century saw the rise of pocket watches. While not as miniature as a modern wrist watch, it didn't take long for them to become nearly as small and delicate.

It's amazing how accurate so many of the old automatic watches were when tweaked. I think it's safe to say there hasn't been much improvement in automatic watch designs as far as accuracy in the last 50 years. Well, unless you count the springdrive, which is really an automatic quartz, as I understand it.

I really enjoyed this video! As someone else also mentioned, I too am not into watches, but watching someone who really know what they're doing is really satifactory. Have a nice day and keep up the nice work!

"I know nobody's going to see it, but..." That's the mark of a true craftsman. Well done.

From a non watch enthusiast who just by chance came across this video, I can genuinely say that this was one of the most satisfying demonstrations of craftsmanship I have ever seen. There is something about your voice that is strangely hypnotic like David Attenborough or Morgan Freeman. Thank you.

Hi Marshal! Let me ‘ break cover’. I am recovering from a stroke. ( lived) watching you work is fascinating. I was a Seiko collector. I enjoy their mods. Thanks!

I don't know what's more interesting, you repairing this watch, naming all the parts and what they do, or the ones who figured it out then made it? Those tiny parts... wow. Guaranteed if I dropped any tiny part, it would end up in the 9th dimension never to be found again. You're skilled in this field no doubt.

Dropping watch parts and spending hours looking for them is a right of passage, Great video once again, Thank you 👍👍

Wow this video randomly popped up on my list and I watched for some weird reason and now I wanna fix watches lol. Thank you for the inspiration dude bro.

You skills are off the chart. Equally AMAZING is how for decades they built these watches without Computer aided design or CNC machinery. Incredible.

This is the first video of a watching being worked on that I've watched and I love it. I'm an engineer by trade and love seeing this sort of stuff. I think my plans for next weekend is to rip apart one of my old (cheap) watches and fail to put it back together. I would be happy to have this man service my omega though, he certainly knows what he's doing :D

Stumbling upon this channel today has been unexpected delight. It's amazing to me how stumbling upon one of your videos in my recommended today instantly brought back memories of my grandfather's wristwatch and how fascinated I was with it at the time. And somehow for well over 15 years I had forgotten all about it and my interest in it until today. I love watching and learning about the process and It's making me really consider the possibility of trying to get into restoration one day, though the initial cost of equipment might take a long while to overcome. Thank you for reigniting something I had long forgotten about.

My Grandad was apprenticed as a watchmaker, then entered WW2 with the RAF as an Instrument Mechanic. Watching this has been very theraputic.

I was really floored when you said you were just a hobbyist. Very fun and amazing to watch. Tnx

Absolutely amazing, I was aware a watch was quite complex but wow! I’m an engineer but I could not cope with working with components so small you need a microscope. Excellent video

I have an Omega pocket watch from 1921. Bought new by my great grandfather. I had it restored this spring for my 50th birthday. Part of it was done by a retired watchmaker that had worked at Omega in Switzerland for 30 years. The rest by my local watchmaker. Fun to see how these things are done. 🤗 Great channel!

The Omega 563 has a couple of quirks. 1. One of the wheels on the automatic mechanism has a wheel that has to be disassembled and lubricated. The pivots on that wheel often wear out as well as the bushings that’s keep the wheel in place. People often have to replace the wheel due to it not being lubricated. 2. The original crystal has the letter Omega right in the middle of it. It’s very small. 3. There is a bushing that always goes missing. It’s located on one of the wheels in the center of the watch. This watch is quite accurate considering how slow the ticking is. Enjoy your watch!

Loved your video on the Omega restoration! I just inherited a Omega 1967 pre moon watch and get excited to see the craftsmanship that these watches have inside them!
