I'm fairly sure one YT-er told us avoiding the sponsorship shows up in the YT data. So anyone who wants to support you to the max only has to let the sponsorship run, and grab a cuppa instead of watching. So keep it to the end of the vid, okay?

Absolutely to the lathe restoration! I was a machinist, in what seems like another life it's been so long ago, so I always enjoy seeing older machines being brought back to a good life. That's part of why I enjoy watching you restore watches. The other part is that my grandfather was a watchmaker many moons ago and I used to watch him restore them as well!

I welcome the sponsorship, if it means you share more videos with us, your time and effort are valuable to me.

You are a savior to all the watches. Your touch makes them RELIVE THE GLORY, once they had.

yes to the lathe restoration. take the sponsorships especially if it enables you to improve the tools for your amazing restorations. I like when you involve your son it reminds me of my dad teaching me woodwork.

Absolute genius and a genuinely decent human being.

You are a master, and beyond. You never fail to amaze me in your craft, even after watching the same video over. Sponsorship is a must, you fairly deserve it. My comment might be 2 years late, as of this video. Its a pleasure and honor to be able to watch you work. BLESSINGS.

My first and only Swiss watch is a 1987 "Tag Night Diver 1000" in Black... I wore it daily for 10 years , and just had it restored and polished as most of the black finish came off as I worked as a Mechanic for a time... My watch maker , said there was rust internally so he obtained a factory new stock movement and installed it... Im so happy there are guys like you and him to restore our pride and joys...

Who are these people that give you watches to repair in such a tragic condition? Another successful repair is fantastic.

Your fabrication skills makes your channel my favorite. Replacing the jewel in the crown amazes me. Manufacturing the screws is also a highlight for me. I've only seen one other creator build watch parts, mostly pinon shafts, for his restorations. While I enjoy viewing basic watch repair content for my growing stages of watch service, videos like this demonstrate a master watchmaker. Other videos your have on case restoration also keep bringing me back. Wonder if you do gear building and watch face making to keep these relics alive. Thank you and best for you and your family to come.

I could've never anticipated how well the restoration would turn out. Incredible work. You took us on a helluva journey. Videos like this remind why i love watches so much. Thank you.

I'm addicted to this video. It's amazing to see the movement up close. Quality work. Thanks. Um....highly recommend keeping your day job.

I find it very fascinating to view you making screws and parts for this repair. My Grandfather was a jewelers toolmaker and watch repair person. I was also an Eyelet Toolmaker as was my Father and my Maternal Grandfather. I know now why I have very small Taps & Dies that I Inherited. Tiny Driilbits also.👍.
