Funny that you mention @wristwatchrevival videos… I too found his videos about four years ago and loved watching him rebuild and fix watches. In fact when I first saw your videos, I thought it was him on a new channel. You are doing a great job and its wonderful to see that you have dove into learning to do this as well.

Really handsome watch and movement. I enjoyed the history. You should be proud of your production, it is visually appealing and extremely informative. Thank you for the entertainment.

Because of your video I bought an absolutely beautiful Dufonte watch that was just serviced by the seller. Thanks for showing us this brand it fit nicely in my collection.

For $45 looking at the workmanship in the movement and that beautiful blue on the dial, that is the steal of the century. Bravo for bringing it back 👍

Don't worry, video quality is great !

just binged all off C S spinners videos. went through a few others. But yours is my kind of channel. This is the first I've watched of yours I've watched but only the second channel I jumped into. Enjoying it a lot so far. Love the narration. Thanks for doing what you do.

Pretty sweet! Something I've learned so far is that great watches have great stories. I think it would be pretty awesome to have a watch restored by you during your journey. What a story that would be.

Nice refurbishment and repair, Yes those oldies certainly do come up nice .

Wow ! What a great movement !!!! Well done !!!

this is exactly, what I like...

Gosh, that's a beautiful watch and you did a fantastic job restoring it!

All of the other watch repair channels that you mentioned, I'm subscribed to and watch their videos every time they post. Your video was just recommended to me by KZfaq and since those others don't post every day (unfortunately) I figured I'd give your video a watch, and I'll say this, you sir have earned a sub from me. Fantastic work and I really enjoyed the history lesson behind this unusual yet beautiful timepiece. Thank you so much for being another addition to my watch repair video addiction 😊.

A great video and such a wonderfully warm easy voice to listen to! Thankyou for all the effort you put in to this, you have me hooked. 👍

Really enjoyed the video and your commentary is the best. The pace is terrific,thank you

Watching a video on KZfaq and being mesmerised... Totally understand that! That's how I got into watch repair too! Nekkid watchmaker and others! I now have about 30 watches I've repaired and I love the learning curve!

Indeed! Marshall Joe and Mark do great watch repair videos.. as do you ! All fascinating compelling and informative!

I enjoy finding vintage gems. Just received a Sellita watch ($50) from the early 1960's, with the Swiss Made Incabloc 17 jewel movement. The watch was advertised as New Old Stock...it looked like it had never left its original box. Works like a charm. Had it in my office for 10 minutes, admiring the perfect dial and crystal...when my teenage daughter saw the watch and said it was terrific...and asked if she could wear it. Bye bye watch.

I like that you keep it real bro, and your good with it! Thanks for being a part of my routine. Maybe ill get the gull to try to do a watch, a cheap one hahaha. Love the channel

That dial is one of the most beautiful ones I have seen.

The dial looks beautiful with that sapphire blue color and i really like the brass movement almost looks like rose gold tone. Great work on the watch and video, Salute! 🤌

Same philosophy and modesty as Marshall. Great job!

Thank you for another great video on a cool watch with a very nice movement. The way almost all the pieces fell into place just goes to show how much work went Into designing and producing this movement.

You explained that in explicit detail,well done ,👍

very nice piece, love the date in blue text and numbers btw

Man, I love that watch ! Excellent job, sir !

Darned great for a newer watchmaker channel. I am very pleased with this video. Subbed.

I gotta say , I love this watch!! Really wish someone out there made watch case backs to show off these beautiful movements . Guys, I have had the pleasure of meeting Adam and buying this wonderful watch from him. His enthusiasm for his work is genuine and he is a truly nice human being..... And the watch is excellent and always draws comments when I wear it. Thanks Adam.

I really like your friendly soft narration. I think i could sleep comfortably listening to it.

Nice watch, nice restoration, fun to see, very well done video, subscribed!

You’ve done a great job on that - well done !

Amazing job!! Thanks for posting, really enjoyed watching

Thank you Adam, fantastic as usual.

I love the dial designs of this era. Some of them seem silly now but many, including this one, are bold and beautiful. Like they were really giving designers free reign with creativity. I don’t feel that with most of today’s stuff.

Wow, very nice Watch, and you know exactly what you doing. Just great! Greetings from Germany Michael

Beautiful watch and great video, thanks...

Love that watch ... & video.

Beautiful dial, beautiful robust quality movement, beautiful case, beautifully restored to health 👍

great video and quality, it looks NOS when finished, thanks for sharing m8

Just came across your channel today. You really know your stuff, you've got great patter (something sorely lacking in other watch-repair channels) and your vids are very well done. Thanks for sharing!

Another blockbuster video of a vintage piece! Thanks!

Nice watch.Good job.All the best

I saw this video and started watching without looking at the channel. For easily 50% of it I thought you were the Wristwatch Revival guy's second channel.😂 Cool vid. I subscribed and maybe you will want to do one of my watches someday.😉

Great job! Brought back pleasant memories of me servicing the same movement. I’d love to see you polishing, and using your home made tool, I think I’d like to do the same. Ta!

That is one handsome watch. Reminds me of Wittnauer I had and miss. Love it! Well done.

18:25 very, very nice watch! Beautiful! Good job!

What an amazing coulored watch. The finish is testament to your skills. Thank you for sharing.

For a Lucian Picard that is a beautiful movement......awesome.

A brilliant combination of your skills. Video and photography are excellent. The complete display of all the elements of the disassembly and then the assembly is the icing on the cake. Including all the screw removal and installs is just so good, it explains a lot visually. The second element of the icing on the cake is your commentary. Including the history of the watch and then adding your comments about your own history is so good. It's pleasing that you take the time to mention other members of the watch community and the help that they have given you. You are doing the same for us as well. Others may not realise just how small the community is. Thank you

I wanted to add another comment. I set and watch your videos and wonder how someone can make all those small screws and gears ⚙️ and make them come together and make the movement work. It’s just amazing.

Adam, consider some of the very small buckles from Tandy to increase the length of your normal-size watchbands.

Much like you, I started following Marshall at WR, took Lovick’s courses, found the Nekkid Watchmaker, and started down the rabbit hole. I’d like to compliment you, as your presentation is much like Marshall’s. Also, the footage you captured on lubricating the exit stone was the best I’d ever seen. Keep up the great work. I subscribed and will be waiting to see your next work my friend!!!

What a video! What a clearance in lighting, explaining, showcasing! Incredible, you doing this "only" occasionally and on weekends at night! AMAZING stuff!

This was a recommendation and I’ve never had an interest in watches! I watched from start to finish and was completely drawn in. Amazing attention to detail which I can appreciate a little as I build scale models. This is miles more intricate. Fantastic sir😀

The little blue clip is called a Circlips

the watch came out great

I like the balance between polished and brushed that you achieved on the case; very nice. It seems to me that vintage watches such as this one, have a certain air of elegance and style that many modern watches of equivalent value, completely lack. I thoroughly enjoyed your video, thank you.

Hey man, just want to say, this was a fun video to watch. I liked the camera angles you had, the voice over was very nice to listen to, and as you know, FHF made some good movements so that's always fun! I will absolutely follow this channel along, and hope to see you and it's community grow. I'm a trained watchmaker, and I noticed some small things I'd like to give feedback on. I hope you don't see it as arrogant or demeaning, I don't intend it that way at all. First thing is your screwdriver choice. Please make sure you always choose the screwdriver size that exactly (or if impossible, a touch smaller) matches the head of the screw. That prevents damaging the screw, or the screw hole by scraping it with the blade. Then the capjewels, they should have equal size oil droplets. The first one was beautiful, full 80% (which is the ideal size) of the capjewel filled with oil. But the other one you filled just for 50%, which is on the absolute minimal side of the spectrum. Ideally you should fill the smallest of the 2 capjewels first with 80% oil (if there is a size difference between them), and then match the size of the other droplet to it. That helps with consistency on the timegrapher. I'd also ease up a bit on the oil and grease when it's not in a jewel. Most spots just need a light film, and more than that will do more harm than good, as the oil/grease will run away/out of place in the long run. Just a little is enough, it doesn't need multiple blobs. Your oiling in the jewels themselves is pretty clean though, and I loved the capillary action shots! You might want to pay attention to not getting oil on the sides of the jewel (the flat "borders" if you know what I mean?) but apart from that, pretty good! Oiling the pallet jewels was tad less though, oil shouldn't creep up the sides of the escape wheel teeth like that. Giving smaller droplets of oil will help with that, as would using Epilame to keep that oil in place better. I've found that looking at my oiler through the microscope first to check the amount works better, and then if too much, touch it against my fingernail to dispose of the excess. I got a good few laughs out of your video. The fumbling around, and struggling with the stem... all reminded me of when I started out as a student. That learning process that never really stops, and is just so relatable. Thanks for keeping the video authentic like that, it really adds a lot. You also got that case looking very presentable as well, and I was surprised your your results with that caseback. Especially with limited tools, great job! I really enjoyed this video, and am looking forward to more of it. Kind regards! (and sorry for the whole novel I wrote here)

Thanks for your work, Adam! The quality of the video is amazing. I enjoy every video you've posted. Warm greetings from Ukraine!

thats awesome

That was an awesome video. That watch is beautiful. Love watching your videos and listening to you explain the parts and how they work. 👌

Inspirational!!

Very cool looking watch, surprised it was all stainless case. Great results!

Awesome video. 👍👍👍

Wow tht watch looks awesome 👏 man

Good camera work. Excellent shot during balance jewel shock setting install.

Cool restoration with a great looking movement. I really enjoyed learning new watch stuff. Thank you.

Nice job again 👍

Hermoso, gran trabajo, calidad 👌

Excellent!!

Very nice watch .

Great job 👍

So cool!

A very nice looking watch. ❤ great job, Adam ❤

Amazing Video! I really appreciated seeing the movement from multiple angles during assembly, I love watchmaking videos and I think yours might be the best on KZfaq

Great video. Great job.

Lovely watch, you've done a great job!

That’s a great looking watch Adam. I really like the case work you did

Very nice watch movement!

Yes, the fontainmelon movement are indeed up there with some of the best movements that were available at that time, ETA quality and reliability and tbh the finish on them is almost Omega like, another very enjoyable video Adam keep up the good work and keep them coming. 👏🙏😉👌

that Elma demagnetiser is awesome i got to save up for that one the one i have is 27 years old from wen i started watchmaking !!! nice channel good voice !!

looks great

I have yet to take Mike’s course, but I watch Marshal (Wristwatch Revival), Joe (Nekkid Watchmaker), and Mike Bolton (Retro Watches) all the time. And of course you too Adam.

EXCELENTE SERVIÇO 👍👍 🇧🇷

Good work, good technique, nice result

wow - what a great watch and again an awesome video - i really like it!

Thanks

Great looking watch

Super.

Great job, i watched a video on a Rolex Milgause (not sure of the correct spelling) it went through a Airplane crash,when he was finished it looked brand new.

Such a great restoration! I love how you do your videos. They are informative and concise. Perfect for a little watchmaking whelp like me to learn from.

12:18 Some of the flat drive used to unscrew screws is too big, it scraped around the outer countersunk screw hole and tore off some fragments of metal. Not sure if you were aware.

That’s cool! 🇬🇧❤️🇺🇸

Great video 🙂. Would you share with us your polishing setup, and how you polish watch cases and bracelets and how you apply circular finis on the watch case back? Big thanks🙂

I have been purchasing watch tools and i appreciate your advice. Next on the list is oils & grease. I was wondering if you allow that Locktite to cure before closing the watch. I know from past projects that during that cure time there is out-gassing and it may cause problems with gaskets corrosion.

You sound like marshal from wrist watch revival

59:30 Wow What a Watch!

This video is a breath of fresh air! Other watch channels have you believe that if you're not wearing a Royal Oak, a Nautilus, or a Submariner, you're a "loser." Everything else is a "beginner" watch. I'm disgusted by the watch industry. The Dufonte is beautiful!

Thts aye nice movement alright,I think your right up with the rest of the other watch guys on you tube I love the naked watch guy and many more so bravo 👏 to you thanks aye lot .I have 15 Seiko dive watches my favourite is the original first addition orange Seiko monster dive watch .Thanks man

I am so glad that you set up your videos pretty much like Marshall does on wristwatch Revival the first videos I had ever watched and continue to I love his videos and now I can start loving your videos so good job I like them, I like the fact that you narrate like Marshall does some of the watch channels you don't hear them talk at all and they don't explain anything they just go through the motions and alright watches done but it's like you don't learn anything that way so keep it up my friend

Another fantastic help in this space, a true master, is Chronoglide. Kalle runs a restoration shop and school in The Netherlands and livestreams weekly. I love your videos. Keep it up, it's a great journey!
