I enjoy watching you work, as well as listen to your commentary! I learn so much about watches, and I have learned to appreciate the many different complications they have. From one of a kind, hand made parts, to assembly line manufactured parts that replacement parts can drop in and work without having to be aligned or modified, is just hard to believe they can be so small, yet so precise! Having the ability to replace the pallet fork with a new one as you did is a miracle of modern machinery! Thanks for taking the time to show us the process of 'servicing' and repairing such tiny little mechanical computers we all take for granted!

Really appreciate how educational this channel is. Never knew the conglomeration info until now, thanks Marshal! Not really a collector per se. Purchased an Illinois 23 jewel Bunn Special as a dedication piece to my grandfather about 10 years ago. His love of pocket/mechanical watches rubbed off on me. It's my favourite watch. Went a bit off track on the 2nd watch, an Armourlite limited edition isobrite t100 (charged glow skull dial, t100 vial accents in the eyes, hands and 5 min markers). 3rd I'm hoping I didn't get scammed on, but it's appearing to be the reality. A Citizen Record Label "Bullhead" Tsuno. An Elgin, or maybe a Hamilton, pocket watch will probably be the last.
