I've been watching your videos for a year or so. Two days ago I found a really old pocketwatch, non runner but other than that it seemed pretty good. Today I disassembled it, cleaned, lubricated and reassembled it. I had some mishaps, sweaty moments and close calls. I also feel like I'm missing a literal ton of tools. But nevertheless, it's been ticking away for a couple of hours now, hopefully it'll keep going for a long while yet. Thank you for truly inspiring content!

The simple fact you said Rosie was a family member tells me a lot about you. Thank you I have the pleasure of living with 2 Golden Retrievers Primrose and Nous.

I'm a psychologist, and after a long working day, your videos always help me to relax. Even more when it's a watch with such a beautiful meaning like this. I'm always thrilled when you put the balance wheel in place and the watch just jumps back to life. Thank you, Marshall!

My mother died last week and I really didn't have any emotional distress because I watched your watch repair. Keep it up mate

After spending countless hours watching your videos, my favorite part is when you put the balance wheel back in and get the watch running. It's so cathartic. You're a master at your craft, Marshall!

I'm always impressed that you're able to reassemble the watch exactly how it came apart. I'm 66 years old and I tend to forget along the way. I would have to take pictures quite often if I worked on watches. That's a beautiful restored watch.

Watching the service of the watches you work on makes me appreciate my collection even more so. Keep up the amazing work. Best, Mr Valjoux Ps - I can’t find any moonphase restorations in your library, I would love to see one worked on 🙏🏼⌚️

So therapeutic watching your skills at restoring old watches.

Just want to say these "big rose" Tudors with the roulette date wheels are my favorites. It's also worth noting these movements (Tudor Cal. 39X, actually made by Fleurier) are extremely rare & valuable vs the later ETAs... Especially this one: Most Tudors with 390 or 395's had the common copper finish; this type with the rhodium plating was only used in the Submariners and earliest 1st gen Prince-Dates like this. People will pay well over $2500 just for a complete rhodium finish 390/395 with no dial or case or anything in order to use the parts in their Tudor Sub... Nice to see a Cal. 39X without a worn rotor post/bearing and scrapes all over the caseback and movement too! I've owned and worked on several of these, and the rotor post/bearing is a massive weak point. Very common to see these with worn out floppy rotors, and since parts are very scarce and expensive for this caliber, anyone looking to buy one of these should keep an eye out for the telltale circular scrape marks of a bad rotor on the inner caseback. Of course even the badly worn rotors will still function in that they wind the watch, but they will produce an awful rattling noise and scuff everything up.

Wow, Marshall, if that watch could talk, what tales would it have to tell? Great to see two people wanting to save it. Hopefully it will go on fo many more years now. Thanks for sharing. From UK.

Well this is great. From someone who knows Marshall from his work with the MtG community, I bumped into this channel by accident a couple weeks ago and thought "Hey, this guy sounds exactly like Marshall from LR. And his name is Marshall. I'm sure it's just a coincidence, but the channel is awesome." I then noticed the playmat on the restoration table. Then I saw the news channel interview, and it was actually Marshall from LR. I've found a whole new admiration for your work, and now I can't stop watching your restoration videos and they've been great company for when I'm working late. Thanks for all you do, you've provided me with thousands of hours of entertainment with MtG content and now I've got hundreds more to go through on this channel.

I’m not a big animal guy but REALLY RESPECT you for taking on this project…. So nice to see people thinking of others….and just being a really great human. MUCH RESPECT.

Condolences for Rosie, congratulations on Jose's newborn. Great time piece. Outstanding work as usual Marshall. Another great video.

God bless you sir, it’s amazing how much love and attention you put into your work. Congrats to Jose for becoming a daddy and my condolences for losing a beloved puppers.

What a lifesaver this video is, I took the plunge and have been restoring a non-running 7909 Tudor Oyster Perpetual as my first repair. Extremely smooth process and all she needed was a new balance setting. I did have to deal with Radium and have re-lumed it. Luckily, I am a chemist as my main profession and knew how to properly handle this. Sufffice to say I am addicted to my new hobby and have you to thank for it. Keep up the great work.

This is fantastic, My Tudor Pelagos LHD has the same color combination date wheel. Its called a Roulette date wheel due to it being Reds/Evens - Black/Odds. Condolences for Rosie this is a great way to remember her. Brilliant video content as always Marshall.

Great job, love the way you put a story behind the watch itself. Gives it a better feel. Keep up the stellar work.

Loved the thoughtful closing shot of the wonderfully revived Tudor set down next to the dog bowl and kibble. I appreciate how you provide us with a parting shot that relates to the watch's history. Oh, and when you got the movement running, I'm pretty sure I was smiling as much as you were. Great vid.

Your admission of a mistake for not knowing the sequence of installation keeps it real. That was very satisfying seeing that old Tudor put back to working condition . I'm sure Jose' will be thrilled to have a reminder of Rosie with him on his wrist. Well done.

Thank you! Always appreciate your videos during times of turmoil. Have awesome days!

Hi Marshall, I noticed that after the final installation of the balance bridge, after tightening you moved the watch and the bridge moved very slightly. May just be a tiny bit of flex as the bridge is canterlevered, but it may be that the bridge screw is slightly too long, which could partially explain how the pallet fork became bent. Edit: can also see the barrel bridge wobbling while running during installing in the case

I have one of these in gold and had it restored. It was my Grandfather's. So cool to see a rebuild!

the moment the watch begins to run again after the extensive work you put into restoring it is always so, so gratifying. congrats on yet another wonderful revival, marshall!

I love your videos! It is rewarding to see the improvement in your equipment process and skill improve over the years you have been making videos.

It is very calming watching you fix watches. Having the skill set you have and keeping a steady hand while doing the work. Also the way you narrate the story is w also calming. Thank you Marshall and keep up the good work.

Thanks for this I watched to learn how to do this on my dad's old Tudor oyster prince. What I have learned is that this is WAY above my pay scale! I am amazed! My dad bought his watch new and wore it for about 25years, and put it in a drawer after receiving a new watch from Esso. It's mine now and I now know I need to send it to someone else to service it and get it ticking again.

What a beautiful little watch, well worth the effort to repair, Love your enthusiasm as it kicks into life. Keep the videos coming

What a great looking classic.. A super restoration to this Tudor Rose...broken parts discovered then replaced. It must've been banged around a bit of the years, but now, will be cherished and worn with pride. A wonderful remembrance to 'Rosie'. Thanks for the tour Marshall... Kudos

With as many of your videos I've watched, I am continually amazed by your amazing attention to detail!

Beautiful restoration Marshall, and quite emotional as well. I’m an animal lover and was moved by the story of this watch. Thank you

Wow marshall, what a stunner. I'd like to thank you for getting me into watchmaking. I'm kinda a depressed teen and watchmaking really helps.

Marshall, I started watching your videos maybe six months ago and I love coming back to your channel and seeing the updates. I recently got a family heirloom, my great-grandfather's old pocket watch and I'm hoping I can clean and service it myself. I'm a long ways from that goal, as I'm just now dipping my toes into the hobby. However I wanted you to know that these videos and your insights have inspired me to this goal. For a long time I wanted to send it in, but now I want to do the service myself and I would have never gotten to that point without your videos. Please keep it up!

Usually I'm calm when I see you working your magic but this time you really took the cake. I was on the edge of my seat wondering what would happen next. Thanks from Centralia, WA.

The editing on this video with the perfectly timed camera angles and commentary is phenomenal!

I can’t sop watching these videos. Great watchmaking and even better commentary & storytelling. Watching this intricate work kind of washes the stress of my day away, strangely enough. Thank you for the content.

Such a different movement--one of the best videos from you in ages. Watching these brings me to a happy place.

Great story behind this watch. It came out beautifully.

What a lovely sentiment behind the ownership of this watch.

Your off-handed comment saved my x-mas plans. I've been learning the hobby this last year and I purchased an old Seiko automatic for a friend's gift. I found that, while the watch worked fine as an auto, it wouldn't wind manually. I didn't want to give something that only 'sorta' worked, and was really bummed out. After confirming, I now know that I had a movement designed without manual wind and it was a great gift!

You’re like a heart surgeon, literally bringing back something to life!

What a beautiful watch and restoration. I recently managed to buy a similar watch, a 1950's Tudor Oyster Prince Junior and I love it. Thanks for the amazing video.

Preserve working with your hands!

Great to see a watch brand that I actually have in my possession on the operating table, that being a Tudor Oyster Prince Rotor Self Winding. This watch belonged to my father and was bought in the early 1960s. I've often wondered what the insides looked like, so this video would probably be close. Thanks for another entertaining timepiece service, Marshall. Just so relaxing to watch.

However, I found this video so well made and so informative and coupled with your enthusiasm and extraordinary skills was an absolute pleasure to watch (pardon the pun). I am 68 and have my late father's Rolex Oyster imperial chronometer which I always had serviced by Rolex until 30 years ago when Rolex said they no longer have the parts, although they wanted to buy it for their museum. It still works and keeps excellent time for it's age which is now close to a hundred years. 🙏🙏🇬🇧

I’ve seen most of your videos, I like that you explain all the parts every time, I’m getting to where I can name parts as you do, getting to know how one works. I’m considering one of those “put it together yourself” kits, as I’ve been a watch nut for years. Also, I liked the second brown strap better, made the dial markers “pop” in my opinion. Thanks for a great channel.
