​@@physics77guy ultimately those Memories that You can't Help but post a Huge smile on Your Face every time You think of them are the best "Gifts" for Me, I keep some trinkets For that exact reason, sorry to hear about the watch though, it would have been cool to have had restored, but such is life, at least You have Your Memories, everything else can be taken, and by the time Memory starts to Fail us?... Well ... Other things will fill our minds... 😂 How about trying to find one the same... Or similar, and try to keep it as long as possible, build up the same "love" He had for it.. may not be the SAME watch but You can still build a good relationship with it.

I love watching what you do and especially listening to the stories you tell explaining about the watch history, and the history of the brand and the movements.

My watch used to fuse to my wrist when I was a boy. The Eczema was so bad my wrists etc were constantly weeping and bleeding because as you’ll know yourself, the constant itching is ferocious so scratching is irresistible and the fabric of the watch strap would end up “glued” to my wrist . Had to get my mum to help me peel it off it hurt so bad. It was impossible not to peel off scabs along with it so the bleeding and weeping would start again. I had to stop wearing them, and I didn’t wear any watches for the next 20 odd years. Luckily I can now I’m in my 50’s! All the best to you.

I also admire is that you can leave a watch looking like new without it losing its character. Blessings to you and your family. Keep up the good work!

Thank you Joe for your great videos, your explanation, your love for old watches and the kind way, you explain everything!

How on earth did they do that back then? Mind boggling stuff. I take my hat off to such skilled watchmakers such as yourself who share the processes to the uninitiated with other skills including first rate photography, editing, narration and humour. Amazing work! Thank you.

Beautiful scars on that one, love that you didn't do too much on the exterior.

Beautiful watch. amazing how well it turned out. I am a retired heavy equipment mechanic. I used to take multi-million dollar machines apart and reassemble them. I injured my knee the other day so have to stay off of it for a week, so what to do with my time. KZfaq. Now I get to watch a fellow take tiny little machines apart and put them back together. I find it very relaxing.

Hi hi, my tinkering is on much larger and ugly machines. I love this macro tinkering on gorgeous things just as much. Watching you restore this gorgeous watch to life is awesome.

The video is very satisfying, but it was great that you tried to control the urge to polish the watch case, congratulations on the video!!

I always enjoy watching your work! The voices in my head tell me to buy another old vehicle to rebuild😮 Unfortunately I can't hide one of those in my sock drawer! I'd love to watch over your shoulder next time I'm in the UK. Thanks from Wisconsin!😊

I really enjoy watching your work. I love automatic watches. My watches are usually 300 to 600 US.

So uplifting to see an unloved watch - a hidden gem - given a whole new lease of life in your caring expert hands. Great content, and beautifully presented.

Nice! A Rotary was the first watch I had; given to me by my grandfather, rather, willed to me. I loved that watch and still have it. I wish I could afford a watchmaker to look at my old watches to restore them.
