Thank you so much for the shout out Marshall! I’m glad that my, let’s be honest, poorly produced videos compared to yours, can be of some help! I really should get working on another one. 😅 Great work on the Rolex!

Marshall I have a Seiko I would like for you to service. It’s a 4006 bell matic bought in 1969 in Japan as a gift to me from my brother. It is running and all original except for the crystal replaced in the 70’s. I’m 80 yrs old and want to get it serviced so I can give it to one of my sons or grandson. This is special watch for me and I don’t want to send to Seiko since I’ve seen only bad reviews. You’re one of the best craftsmen I’ve seen on KZread and really want you to service the watch.

Marshall has a podcast called Limited Resources which is an MTG podcast, usually about upcoming sets and how to use the new cards in the Limited format.

I want to thank you Marshall. Because of your calm, collected, and thorough videos, I decided that this indeed can be done by even me. You inspired me to venture into the world of horology, and in the wee hours of this morning my first all original build was born. It has a Seiko NH36A heart beating inside a 40mm Sub style stainless steel case. With parts ordered from eBay, and your "anyone can do it" inspiration I now have a nice watch that is all my own. Thanks again, keep up the great work.

Haven't owned a watch in years, nor do I have any interest in watches. But yet, I find these videos fascinating!

What I love about watch repair and servicing is the fact the watch may look dishevled and dirty on the outside as old as it may be, but when you open it up it looks as clean and new as the day it was made!

I love that you shout out Ashton, i got a watch serviced by him 2 years ago! Great guy very happy to be able to meet him in person! Very very knowledgeable!

Ashton overhauled my Dad's (Canadian) WW ll Rolex Sky-Rocket last Fall. During the winter, I also had him overhaul my Grandfather's 1928 Longines.

Shut Up and Play the Hits is one of my absolute favourite films, and the voiceover ofJames nervously saying to the crowd "I hope it's OK, I'm wearing- I'm wearing my dad's watch" right before the band launches into their last song has always stuck with me, so when I heard you say "James Murphy" my immediate thought was "wait, surely not *that* James Murphy?", and then when you confirmed, I could barely believe it. Hearing the full backstory of the watch makes me want to see the movie again.

Hey Marshall! I just watched your podcast with James over at Humans of Magic, and I wanted to express my appreciation for your approach to this craft. Refusing lucrative sponsorship deals for the sake of preserving the purity of the content speaks volumes to your passion and integrity. I am in the process of watching all of your videos and will reach this one soon, but I wanted to comment here so you would likely see it. Thank you again for all that you have done for the watch/restoration space on KZread, and the passion you’ve instilled in me to begin pursuing the watchmaking hobby!

You are amazing! That hairspring repair blew my mind! You’ve become a master. You’re appreciated!

After watching this channel for quite awhile, I had gotten comfortable with anything Marshall flung at us, then BAM!!! He throws a tool and process at us!!! I had never seen him do such detailed work on a balance before so this was a treat!!!!

Absolutely amazing! Just love watching you take those old, broken watches and bring them back to life.

I own the date version of this movement and learned more about this watch from your video than during all my years of ownership. You make it look easy. Well done!

I just saw LCD for the first time last weekend - what a coincidence

As I'm watching this while my wife's night club is hosting LCD Soundsystem. They are doing an after party following their back to back to back sold out shows The Paramount in Seattle. I'm going to mention to him that I saw his watch on KZread when I head to Monkey Loft in a few minutes. Small world. 😁

Trivia ..... James Bond wore a Rolex Oyster Perpetual first mentioned in Live and Let Die published in 1954 so this is exactly what Ian Fleming had in mind when he gave his character a high quality watch. Great video, great work :)

That is a stunning watch. Nicely done Marshall

What a fabulous watch and another superb restoration. Marshal, your knowledge and care for these historic timepieces is exemplary. Always a pleasure watching you work, regards Michael

An amazing watch! So gorgeous. Id give up all my watches to own a beautiful vintage 50s Rolex!

What a stunning watch. I love rolex from this era. And that strap, oh my days, that is lovely.

wow, what a treat. I thought for sure you would have to replace that balance. Masterful work.

I never really liked wearing a watch, even though my dad is a watchmaker by profession. But your channel has made me love them a lot now. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!

I always enjoy your videos. I am a Rolex wearer of almost 30 years. I've gifted them to my kids, also. Originally, I had a Datejust. I wore it scuba diving, all the time, from 96 to 99, when I was stationed in Hawaii. It's not really a dive model. But, yes, as you mentioned, Rolexes are beautiful watches, but also real workhorses. I really enjoyed seeing you replacing so many damaged pieces, in this video. Great job!

Wow, just Wow. Nothing as enjoyable as watching a professional at work.

If only Rolex made watches that look this good nowadays.

I have a Omega in gold from 1957 and its stunning. My favorite. Old watches has something special.

I love that watch and the old, beautiful band it has.

Great looking Rolex…it’s an amazing watch.. for its age.Thanks for the video Marshall.

Sorry, about the long post. Your videos are great. I appreciate you editing I don’t think anyone could enjoy this in real time. Thank you.

Just an amazing watch from an wonderful human being. Spoke with James on his forum, and he's so normal, despite making totally jaw-dropping music. Good job!

Just so fascinating to watch! I love the commentary and seeing the process and thought through it all

One of my favorites from your restoration videos And it really shows off your watch making knowledge & skills. Thank you Marshall !!!

I watch this knowing nothing about watches but it’s actually very relaxing!!

What an amazing restoration and a real beautiful watch.

It was a pleasure watching you perform C P R on a Fathers watch given to a Son.

Nice job Marshall. You've come a long way. And BTW, that's among the most beautiful watches I've ever seen.

Thank you for convincing me toNEVER work on my own watch. Ever. Your patience and attention to detail are truly amazing.

I'm not a watch collector nor an expensive watch owner. I have a cheap-o swatch and recently bought a smartwatch. But, oh boy, your videos can put me to sleep in seconds. My smartwatch rates my sleep above 90/100 since I started watching your videos. Thanks a million, I owe you a precision screwdriver.

I have an almost identical watch (1953 oyster perpetual) that belonged to my grandpa who bought it overseas while on leave right after the Korean war, and it's amazing to see you work on something almost identical so I can essentially look inside my own, thank you!

Finally a new video. Just wanna say you inspired me to get watch that needed work and fix it. Granted it's a seiko kenitic but I wouldn't have thought about buying and fixing it with out this channel so thank you

Whale blubber was used for a LOT of things. The fact that it trickled down to creating a tiny watch is an amazing example of hunting, human endurance, and ingenuity.

Hello Marshal, you have a fantastic channel and frankly your underlying enthusiasm in each video makes the channel. Two questions: Do you ever discuss the amount of time invested into each restoration or do you feel that takes away from the hobby. And, did you replace the seal common to the crown stem on this restoration?

Great video, I love the fact that you make this look soooooo simple, even when there are issues.

Great job. Lot of work for this. Paid off beautifully. ❤

Marshall, I found your channel by accident. I have watched all your videos and started looking for other watch makers. No one even come close to your videos. No one explains watches like you. I'm not someone who would ever try this "hobby" but I enjoy the craftsmanship. Actually, I'm a 7th grade English teacher.

Well done Sir! Thank you for taking us with you as you repaired and serviced this absolutely gorgeous example of a well worn and obviously cherished Rolex timepiece. This was a real treat!!

Marshal what is IMHO unique about you is the controlled and sublime way you comment on your task at hand. It is so relaxing and calming, love it. Thank you again for an absolutely absorbing hour of pure bliss. Cheers from sunny Scotland.

Marshall, I’ve been watching your videos for some time now. I got accepted to be a training watchmaker for Rolex last week. Amazing videos, great inspiration. You helped me kickstart my career. Great video showing a balance reassembly!

Have been watching this channel continuously since finding it. His voice is like a professional TV host with great intonation. What a master watch maker. I have always been interested in watches and may try and order a basic watch kit from his website. Marshall, thank you for sharing your talented skills.

I can't wait to get my complete kit from your website! I would love this as a hobby. If you ever feel like blessing someone, I'm right here!! I appreciate you. -Alex

"I have a tool for that" one of my favorite phrases to say or hear. I enjoy this channel more than I feel I should.

You have some awesome videos and I am amazed how you make it look so easy. I am sure this came with a great deal of trial and error. I can honestly say I don’t think I could ever be comfortable with what seems to be natural to you. I would love to see you make a video on how to find a vintage watch on eBay or elsewhere. You have enough knowledge on the subject but it would be awesome to have some insight on finding a vintage piece worth restoring. As I am sure you know there are too many sellers that are listing fake pieces for sale. Thanks for all the awesome videos and knowledge of classic timepieces. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Marshall, I started watching your videos a few weeks ago cause I figured they help me fall asleep. They did for a while. Then I got hooked. I’ve ordered my first set of watch repair tools from your site and I’m going to give it a try! Thanks for turning me on to a new hobby!

Gorgeous watch, and a great restoration.

Wow!! Such a stunning watch!! Your rebuild and commentary was exceptional as always. Well done. 👍

What an amazing restoration. Very nice! 😁

I love your voice and demeanor

I remember watching like just last year when such a rebuild would have been a Herculean task for you (not that it wasn't now) and now I see this video where you just breezed through all the super hard repairs. Hair spring fixing, balance staff replacement, jewel replacements, shock absorber replacements. Insane work Marshall. I am in awe at your skill right now.

So cool to lookup photos of James and see THIS watch in the vasr majority of them! It's like getting a look behind the scenes!!

I can't believe how skilled he's become.

3:28 i still believe you should add your watchmakers mark. Its part of the tradition of watch making. Its like signing the back of the flats/set when you act/direct/are in a play on stage.

So awesome! Beautiful watch

I couldn't stop smiling throughout this video.

Fantastic work on a beautiful watch. Thank you.

Dear Marshall, I can't take my eyes of your videos. They are so inspiring and act like a mind switch toggling from daily boredness to spiritual calmness and joy. Tks a bundle Sir!

i love to go thru and watch your older videos and then your more recent ones and always take note as to how long your Patreon member list has gotten. Way to go, Marshall. You deserve the attention.

What a beautiful movement! This is the sort of vintage watch I would want. Great work saving it.

I love watching these, they are somehow relaxing to have in the background and your voice is great for them. I don't have many watches but I love the ones I do and they're all Swiss or Japanese made. I also love all the comments that go: "I hate watches, detest them, if I see another watch I am going to burn my house down... but I love your channel!"

Totally absorbing, thank you. I found myself almost repeating parts of your commentary and chatting along with it, I was following the process so closely and you were commenting on the exact same issues that were puzzling me! one more time THANK you for some amazing and educative viewing.

I love how you master one of the most complex and complicated professions in life and call it a hobby. WOW 😮. I’m flat out changing the batteries in the tv remote.

It's amazing how much I have found myself loving these watch repair videos & the tools used are amazing ninga like tools . Rug cleaning videos are also enjoyable and relaxing to watch , amazing 🙏.

There’s another fellow on YT who does similar to what you do, but doesn’t speak and does all ASMR with his. I want to let you know that I really enjoy your commentary and look forward to your new vids. Thank you!

Thank you so much mamacoo for taking us shopping🛍…my wish list just got longer

This watch has seen a better day. Glad somebody knows how to restore it. I would never know how to put this back together.

Idk why I always get obsessed with this channel only around Christmas when I’m home but you got me with the 54 Rolex in the summer!

I like how this guy is telling in the beginning that we can probably do the same work as well, and then he is bringing 20 different unique tools to work on the watch and 10 more rare components that are obsolete&expensive&hard to find and he had to buy few donor parts to get them. That is really impressive work and somewhat antique watch to work on!

I love a watch with a story, it gives a real meaning.

Great work Marshall! You are such a gifted communicator and storyteller. This channel is the cream of the crop. You've single handedly generated an interest for me in watches, particularly vintage rolexes. The more understated the better, for me. In my humble opinion, this might be the most handsome piece you have featured.

Wow you got to pull out all the toys and tricks for this one! Maybe my favourite video of yours i have seen so far!

As always Marshall thanks for all of your time and patience in producing a fantastic video for us all to watch. That really is a beauty and great to see you showing some more involved repair work. Excellent- keep them coming.

It's a blessing in disguise to get a watch with lots of issues. That's how you learn. Then people will trust you with their time pieces. Great work!

Thank you Marshall for your videos. The work you do is awesome and the encouragement for others to persue this craft and hobby is humbling. Personally I would love to do this but watching others work is one thing but on the other I have an attention disorder where I can"t even read a paragraph one time. But you do great work and your manner of teaching and voice is top shelf,,,thanks

Marshal, your videos are so enjoyable to watch. You are obviously doing something that you have a great love and interest in. Thank you for sharing your passion.

I always enjoy watching you fix any watch. It's been awhile since I've seen one of your video. Great job on restoration the Rolex.
