Quality video. The "Watch and learn" series is one of the best series of videos on watches on the net. keep up the good work and thank you.

I am very new to watchmaking and horology. Its always been an interest too me but I never really had the time to get involved. Now semi retired I have bought a small tool kit. This great video really help me understand a lot of the tools in it. Really enjoyed it, I found it very instructive. Thank you

Awesome video Mark, keep up the good work! very instructive

My one jeweled quality watch will continue to be taken to the jeweler for battery change. I bought this kit but didn't know how to use, thank you for basic explanation. Carol

THANKS A LOT - HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND

Wife bought me repair kit 6-7months ago and i'm just now having time to watch ur video to learn about the tools & what they r used for. Thanks now maybe I can try and work on a few watches

AWESOME Mark! Thanks so much for all the excellent help! Helped me to open and change batteries on a diverse sampling of my dead watches!

Hi Mark Love the channel - especially the Watch & Learn vids - could you please do a W&L vid on how to change a watch battery please - thanks - keep up the great informative vids

Great info. Covered the tools that just came in my kit.

Why would anyone give thumb down on this wonderful info??? Thanks Marc. Great stuff, no doubt!

Thank you brother for this Video....

Keep posting man thanks.

Very cool. Thanks! 👍

Excellent, thank you!

Mister Mark. I finally plunged in for the Bergeon master kit. I paid nearly as much as my most expensive Citizen watch. In other words, I am officially insane.

I rarely use my laptop upside down, but Orient Speedster was worth admiring. 1:36

I just ordered a kit from Amazon. Thanks for the overview.

Thanks this is just what I was looking for you've earned a sub

Thank you I admire your approach and no nonsense tutorial, bless you.

Great video dude.

Tremendously helped! These kits go for about $18 now on Amazon with the 3 point opener included. Replacing batteries on 3 of my watches. Love learning how to save $$$! Thanks!! Broke 1 round bit on my Nixon 48-20 Chrono. The back opening is strange as it has 6 circular holes to screw off. I could not find videos on how to remove it so I just gave it a go and it worked eventually. What eventually helped me open it was the vice (that comes with the kit) to hold the watch face down securely.

Very cool vid, thanks

Excellent video, man. Information explained thoroughly and precise, yet not at all overwhelming. Thank you, I appreciate it. Nice, soothing voice also

Excellent!

Yes, you are correct in the quality of the Chinese tool set. I too had to upgrade a few things. Especially the case back removal tool. That thing lasted one time. It was the crappiest metal in the world. Anyway, thanks for the excellent instructions. Good description on what these tools are.

Great Video!!!!!!!

Outstanding presentation! Semper Fi

These videos are very interesting. Keep it up.

Thank You, I have a kit similar to the 2nd one!

Thank you kindly ✅

Another great video full of information! I would highly recommend anyone looking for a case back opener to go with the 3 prong version! I've had many scratches from the two prong versions slipping off, where as the 3 prong I have never had slip.

Thank You...well done

I've been wondering about some of the tools in my kit. Now I know what they're for. I'm more dangerous to my watches than ever with a little more knowledge. Probably not a good thing 🤔😅

wow i love the orient speedster. im surprised orange is a color i never wear

Enjoyed your diy video. What tool would you say is the best for taking the back case off with, the one that looks like a knife or the little plastic pry off tool?

Very nice video but I have a question. The watch pin removal tool is pretty simple but what is the other thumb screw for? Is it just an extension ramp to hold the band still?

I love my watch kit!! I love vintage watches and now everyone asks me do theirs- thank you for the help!!

THANK YOU I LEARN SOMETHING NEW, THANK YOU VERY MUCH, U MADE IT EASY TO ADJUST MY WRIST WATCH.. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK.

i'm used to cut clippers after fully opening and straighting to make a short rigid piece of steel and punch out the bracelet, using cork on the other side to slide the pin , cork from for example wine bottle cap sliced with knife in roundes....

Thank you very much i just got started yersteday the video is relevant you covered all in my tool case similar to yours,thanks alot

I like the honesty

It's been 30 years but I seem to remember that without any guidance, I sized the Seiko stainless steel bracelet of a watch I had bought at a department store with nothing more than a standard set of jewelers screwdrivers and paper clips to poke out the clips with. Now that I know a little more about watches, I might want to look for better tools but a little bit of poking with small thin prods seems to do the trick for many things. I suppose I should count myself lucky for not having bent or gouge anything with improvised tools.

Good explanation & demonstration. Tq. 👍👍

Great video Mark, but how do I REMOVE those bits from the 3-point wrench to change them? I can't get mine out! LOL

I have been learning so much from your videos. I recently purchased theZexett kit you recommended and these tutorials are great at instructing how to use them. I'm grateful i have saved my old watches over the years to use as repair guinea pigs!

Great Sir! Great!

Great review, as usual. I've learned a lot. Thanks.

awesome instructional vid! kudos!

I have the same kit from China. My case back opener lasted about 10 seconds. I tossed it and bought a decent one. Other than that, the kit isn’t half bad.

Thank you for this great video!

Hi from Australia! I was wondering if you have an update when the more expensive toolkit would be available to purchase online? Thanks Gavin 😊

Was wondering on the more expensive tool kit if I have to change the battery on an invicta watch that’s 52-56 mm can it handle it as far as taking the back of watch off. Thanks

thx for this video

Very helpful overview ❤️

LMAO! The Incredible Hulk! Thanks for not dragging it out, very informative.

Great video, very informative. I personally preffer to use a ball watch case opener, which is easy to use and doesn't scratch the watch back.

Good video. By that I mean the instructions were good and so was the quality of the video and audio..Great Job.

Tool used to size bracelet (blue thingy) - looks like the same I have (cheap stuff). Unfortunately tool's pins are not match for Orient M-Force bracelet. I broke one trying to remove Orient's pin so hammer had to complete the job. Broken pin was replaced with custom made pin made from stainless steel. Whatever that blue thingy tool is using is cheap alloy not even worth if you get it for free. BTW, Orient's M-Force pins are way different than pins you presented in one of your great videos and require special attention while removing (they have 2 parts, one is tiny tube). What you should mention when working with watches: do it in a bright lit area, use some sort of serving tray as your main work area to contain potential 'flying' parts and never work in carpeted area as you will never find micro pieces if they jump from table to the floor...

Thank you^^

thanks for the informative video. i have a pin stuck in a bracelet and several watch matchers couldn't get the stuck pin out and bent their push tool in the process. is there a way to drill out the pin?

I found some pliers clamped the back back on inside of the watch holder it was super easy

Just Inspired me to change my own batteries- have a couple of watches that need batteries (just lazy to drop off) what made me search on you tube was my movado bold - was told by 2 shops they need to send it to Movado- why? I don't know? this is a sub $400 watch, why the special attention? Thanks for the vids

Very interesting how basic tools work I'm interested about learning how to make repairs on my watches and even maybe my friends too very cool

Thank you

When you go to put the back, back on the watch aren’t you suppose to wipe some silicone on the gasket?

Could you please explain the different bits of the opener, which one should be used in which case?

You can pick up the advanced toolkit on aliexpress for about $11 if $50 is too much.

Thank you Marc! When replacing a watch battery, where is the best place to purchase the batteries?

Hey man, I love this channel. Its the least egotistical watch channel on KZfaq and I've learned a lot from it. I have some very egotistical watch videos if you're interested :D

Thanks for te video ive been eyeballing the same kits. Or very similar on Ebay and other websites i was skeptical as i. Was sure the quality was lower end and i was wondering. If it was worth the trouble but your video kind of convinced me it would work for me that really is only looking to learn As really a hobby working on inexpensive watches And probably the ones ive personally Put in a drawer or just stopped wearing for various reasons over the years lots of Seikos and Timex brands BTW thanks for the channel and the Tutorials

hey, idk if you've done a video about this already, i doubt it, but i have a cheap automatic watch from amazon and the weight or winder in the back is pretty stiff (as in it doesn't rotate smoothly), is there a way to loosen it in any way, i have only just got into automatic watches. thanks in advance.

are your watch kits the same quality as the amazon ones?

Hi when can one buy the second toolkit ?

I realize that Infantry watches are obviously not top of the line. I have tried using the 3-point spanner wrench and all of the different tips that I have for this spanner wrench. Is there anything else that I can try?

Out of curiosity how many personal watch do you have Marc :)

I use a squash ball works excellent on all the ones I have done even if they have never been opened before....

I'd like to see fitness watch battery replacement such as Garmin.

I just purchased a 3 point case opener and it does not open wide enough for my larger diameter Fossil watches. Do your tools work on larger watches? am I possibly missing something?

Hi, re the pin remover tool. It is made of metal. This would damage the edge of the pin finish. Do they have nylon pin removal tips that you can use instead?

Took it off metal for fabric 😲😲😲 Super awesome looking though

Great video, thanks very much.

Marc, can you recommend a good eye loupe? Thanks

Removing links - OK but what do you do when the bracelet doesn't have visible holes (speidels)?

*_You'll never catch me with a nylon or canvas band on any timepiece that I own. Ewwww. Casio man here, but sir those analogs, especially that Orient is splendid._* *_Anyway, very informative video sir. I bought my first watch repair kit off of Ebay paying less than $20 total. Its similar to the kit in the vid, add or take away a couple of items, but w/o the case. I want that case! Those 'lil cheap made in China tools are very effective. I'm looking to affix a watch holder and a watch back case remover tool to my set. I don't know whether to go with the ratchet wrench looking tool that you have or the rectangular one with the two bits on both ends._*

Thanks that's exactly what I needed

Where is that blue ball to remove the back cover? I cannot find it anywhere on web

in the playlist the order of videos are inverted it will be more cool if one see them in correct easy to hardest order...thanks

Lol spent so much time trying to close the back of my watch..I bought a watch press, but it isn't deep enough for the watch crystal..spent so much time trying to use my thumbs with force..then I remembered..I simply placed watch upside down in carpet and used the palm of my bare foot to close the back of case..

Hi i have tried different watch tools but still cant get the back of my seiko watch.

10:34 Just wondering: why not take the damn gloves off? [is it the logo..] Thanks. 15:45 That's a beautiful SEIKO. *cool* video, Mark.

How can one get a watch repair job? I've googled a little bit and Craigslist but didn't see much

I was just about to order Bergeon 7815... How did you know?

What is the best "money is no object" springbar tool?

I have a Timex watch with a pop-open back. I removed the back and replaced the battery, but now the back won't go back on. I tried everything I could think of and advice from Yotube videos. How do I fix it?

🍀👍🍀🤔 righty tidy lefty Lucy? (case back rotation?)

How can I close my guess watch ! I change the battery but I can’t close !! 😆

I just got one of these and thought to my self, how the heck do i even use any of it. This video will saved me.

I am tool master watch scale is tiny. In trades world I am considered an elf as I prefer wood table. Buy 1 tool as you need it. Dermal and grinder, saw saw, torch with button starter. Have saved me from buying tools. I cut wreches in half. I can take 3/8 shave out 10mm. You can feel quality.

Can you use another numbered battery as long as it fits? I put in a CR2032 for a watch that had an old battery of CR2025. It is working okay.

Joey Salads Here! 😂
