Your feedback made my day. I'm so glad you enjoyed it. Have a good day and thank you for your kind words.

I agree!

@@wmbchristie Thank you! You might also enjoy my recent restoration of a beautiful Hamilton 992 which was in bad shape! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/h9tkdZOFm5fOo40.html

Sorry to hear about your old watchmaker. Have you tried Paul Davis in Missouri? I hear he's great.

That is too funny! 😂 There's so much to learn in this hobby, even when you think you're just doing a simple repair. Thank you!

Thank you @csspinner. Means a lot coming from someone with your skill.

Hi, I love your sense of humor! Yes, the Burlington Special is a unique movement. Beautiful! Thanks for your support!

Thank you. There are definitely more to come!

Joe! Thank you so much for gracing this channel! "We're not worthy!" ;) Seriously, your videos really inspired me to get into the hobby so I'm humbled. Thank you again.

@@WatchRestorationCottage you’re more than worthy my brother. And your worth is not based on an idiot like me. Keep it going mate. All the best Joe

@@NekkidWatchmaker It's no wonder your viewers all adore you mate. Thanks for the encouragement.

Thank you! Appreciate your kind words.

I agree - he makes great crystals!

HAHA! I LOVE the ticking sound too! There's something very soothing about it. How many do you carry? 3? I need to get myself a nice waistcoat to sport these watches. Thanks for your support!

@@WatchRestorationCottage well I only carry one pocket watch but I also have several vintage wrist watches I wear with them. I like the old Nivada Gretchen and Croton( post merger) mechanical watches. Always have been fascinated by the mechanical movement. Some day I’ll try what you’re doing maybe I can heal humans but this looks pretty technical☺️

@@verncommet1798 wow, so you are the right guy to stop on the street to ask for the time! You can do this, no doubt. My sharing these videos is to encourage everyone. If I can do this, with my limitations, so can you! Give it a shot on a big pocket watch. You may surprise yourself!

Thank you for your kind words and support!

You're welcome. Hope you enjoyed the video!

Gracias!

Hi, I do too! They're not your typical numerals that you'd see in a standard RR grade watch, but have a little more flair. Thank you for stopping by.

Thank you!

Thank you for your kind words

No problem, glad you enjoyed it!

Hi, I appreciate your kind words. I'm still in awe of how unique this movement is. I occasionally work on vintage wristwatches, but I am partial to these antique pocket watches for the reasons you cited. You can see how much pride the people and companies took in producing quality. Thank you for your feedback on the narration. Here's a secret: my initial thought was to make ASMR-type videos with text commentary. But my family is too big and active that it was impossible to get stretches of silence. Again, I really appreciate your support and kind words. Thank you.

Me too!

Thank you for your kind words, I really appreciate it. It is very gratifying to know that you enjoyed the restoration. Peace and ♥️ ✌️

Thank you! Five movements! Looks like some good bonding times ahead. Have fun and hope you get them all back up and running again!

Es un placer. ¡Espero que los disfrutes!

My pleasure, really glad you liked it.

Thank you! I'm so glad you found it enjoyable to watch.

Thank you, appreciate it

Thank you! Cheers!

Thanks for your kind words Mark. I appreciate your support and I definitely appreciate the help from you (and your video) in getting my L&R rewired. Looking forward to more from you!

Thanks Mike! Appreciate your support!

Glad it was helpful!

Thank you for your support!

Thank you! Crown and stems are trickier. As you know, stems have to have the right contour and depth. Dave from daveswatchparts usually comes through for me if I send him the measurements. Good luck!

Thanks for your feedback and support. That sounds like a good idea, but I have a somewhat limited toolset. Possible without a lathe?

@VillageWatchRestoration thanks for your reply. You could use a miniature drill press with a dremel if you feel brave enough, or you can broach out the existing hole until it's wide enough to accept a small bushing, hammer it in with a watchmakers hammer, then broach it to size again. My own toolset is somewhat limited. I have screwdrivers, tweezers, movement holders, oilers, all the essentials. I don't own a cleaning machine anymore since mine decided to tire of life. I'm by no means a pro myself. I've been lucky enough to never have to rebush a pocket watch, but I have bushed some very fine clock movements around the same size. Punch bushes are an approved technique, I have done it myself on cheaper movements as an apprentice. I have had those same clocks come back for the next service and found that the punch bushes wear quicker than replaced bushes. Presumably because the metal is thinner and has been stressed

@@adamoneale4396 thanks for the thoughtful response. I am not sure I trust myself yet to do what you just described, but if I ever come across another worn bushing, I'll refer to this. 💪🏻

@VillageWatchRestoration no worries at all. I am happy to pass on anything that could be useful, and I pick up a lot of techniques from your videos that I wasn't taught. That's part of the beauty of this skill. There's many approaches. If you want to learn bushing without worrying about ruining pieces, you could pick up a couple of smiths or ingersoll (or similar) watches that were mass produced and not valuable, or pick up a broken movement or two from ebay to practice on. I did that a lot wjen learning on clocks. Missing parts, broken pieces? Doesn't matter if all you want to do is practice technique. If you mess it up, oh well, it was already broken or not valuable enough to matter :) I am by no means an expert. I took an informal apprenticeship with a horologist and after his passing, just continue as a hobby. I mostly work on jewelled watches and am a big fan of working on the old Doviet movements. I would argue that a Raketa movement is easily equal to a Tissot of its day. I'm not exempt from mistakes either. I have just fully serviced a lovely, fully working (but dirty) 17 jewel Sekonda, which now refuses to run despite having no visible issues whatsoever🤦‍♂️. I suspect something stupid like a flipped cap jewel, but I am honestly sick of working on it. I was taught early on to step back for a bit when frustrated and come back with a clear head.

@@adamoneale4396 you're giving a lot of great tips. I hope other people who stumble across these comments will pick up a thing or two from you. Thanks for your contribution! 💪🏻

Hi, thanks for stopping by! I want to answer your question, so can you point me to the timestamp in the video? If I had to guess, I think you're referring to the bench anvil ?Thanks again. 👍

Ooops - I meant 6:33. @@WatchRestorationCottage

@@curiousassortment ah, ok. Yes that's a bench block, or bench anvil. Very versatile.

Hi, it's a denture cleaning tablet used to clean false teeth (dentures).

@@WatchRestorationCottage Thank you very much♡♡

@@user-nf8np1zq9h you are welcome

Bingo! Free slice of pizza for you! 😉 Kidding - good job!

You have a great timepiece! I find these Getty models so unique and beautiful. Hamiltons get a lot of the attention from collectors, but these movements can hold their own, in my opinion.
