Marshall is given a very nice gift from a 10-year-old viewer of the channel, a Doxa dress watch from the 1950s! Alexa watches the videos here on the channel and thought I would like the dial of the watch, so she and her dad sent it to me. Even though they said Marshall could keep it, he has other plans for the watch :)

Hi Marshall, love your channel. Your channel made get interested in vintage watches and watch repair. I find myself in a very stressing situation now. I recently acquired a Seiko bellmatic. I noticed the dial had some dust on it, so I wanted to clean it up. I was having difficulties removing the alarm button and thought that maybe the rotor was in the way of a lever. However, when I tries to remove it, I instead removed the screws of alarm plate and bump the wheels out of place. I believe fixing it goes far beyond my ability. I was wondering if you would be interested on it. I have asked watch repair places and they are not interested in working on it since it's a vintage watch.

I inherited a Doxa just like this one from my father in 2020. He wore it so often that the dial turned a copper brown color. I always thought that the brown color was how the watch was made it is so beautiful. When I had it serviced the watchmaker told me that it originally came in a white linen color, and also that the watch likely had not been serviced in 40-50 years; sounds just like my dad that he didn't bother to service his daily wear watch. After servicing the watch it runs great; I now wear it only for special occasions.

Another great video thanks! The backstory and narrations make them that much better. Nice 1016 you are wearing as well. That begs the question; maybe someday you can share what are some of your favorite pieces.

You sir are a true gentleman. Doing all of that work at your cost and then returning that watch to the young viewer.... She will treasure that watch forever with her dad! Just stand up of you. I tip my hat! You should place those micro screws beside a USA penny to show us just how small they are!

Amazing story along with the watch. Puts it into perspective and makes this restoration journey meaningful, interesting and fun to watch. Keep 'em coming Marshall!

My father in law have a christmas decoration that has a stuck swiss music box movement inside it, that is from his childhood. and after having watched your video's for a while, I got it apart and cleaned, so it now works perfectly again. He looked at it, and said that it brought back so many memories. This is what you made possible.

I personally admire your skill and have for some time. I am in a different craft. The way you speak to what you are explaining to the viewer ( student / hobbyist ) gets a first class education. Myself would like to give back from a machinist skill under the same environment you have done so well to create here. This is both professional and a art form. You certainly are appreciated for your manner and humility and other true craftsmen see that clearly.

This guy got me into watches. I started watching two years ago, and I just recently bought my first mechanical Seiko.

The kid appreciates mechanical movements, patina, watching Marshall service and restore timepieces? Bless her!

I liked to watch Mr. Rogers when he would go to picture picture and watch films of how things were made! It was a precursor to the tv show 'How it's Made' and I loved it! 😃

Nice work! And this gracious gesture will stay with these two kids their whole life. What a wonderful world!

I love this channel, and watching your process. I really appreciate seeing your thought process and not necessarily always wanting something to be perfect (outside of function) but accurate for the time period.

I have wanted a Seiko Automatic 7002 since i first saw it as a young kid in the early 90's, recently purchased a second hand one and watching your videos i now understand the quote to have it serviced from the watch maker. The service is costing more than what i paid for the watch.
