Respect the dedication. There is no way I'd have torn it down a third time. Edit: Omg, 4. 😟

Marshall , you do beautiful work ! I'll guess that you are a retired Heart / Brain surgeon .

LOL re: oil changes. Many European cars have a first change at 20,000 miles - but watch servicing at 5-7 years is a great idea. Don't wait for something to happen.

Impressive work

i wish I could send you my grandfather's Rolex but on account of him never having one! I watched this video 2 times (at 1.25 speed) and it had me the entire time! I do not even know HOW this was recommended to me but you earned a sub and a like and a share...

where can I get those lesbian finger condoms?

I got a smaller one! Part of a cuff link. Until a few minutes ago I thought it was a quartz movement. Nope. It has a main spring. I'd tell you the watch maker, but I need a magnifying glass to read it.

Good looking watch!🏆

Brilliant job

I recently got a neat Benrus watch from my grandfather, it doesn’t run very well though it loses a couple seconds every minute

That watch has a beautiful patina.

Wow! First time I’ve seen a watch maker actually do this. What a skill. Gotta know what you’re doing here.

C’me on Marshall, you took one look into the insides of this watch when you opened it up and you knew right then that it had a broken main spring and not much else wrong with it. It looked so pristine that it couldn’t be anything more than that. Coupled with your knowledge about blue metal from the late ‘40s early ‘50s. Dig down to the main spring, replace it and away you go.

Scammers deserve a very special place in hell

How do i get in contact with you? I have a watch that every watchmaker is refusing to work on cause they say it's too difficult, but i really love that watch so I'd like to see if it can gain life again someday

When he mentioned "refinished dial" he just cut the sale value by $50k :D. I hope the dude wasnt planning on selling it right away

Great lookin watch!

Wow man what an amazing job you did and it was a joy to watch you work !!!

I have a spider Watch that dont run from 1780 or something, is that something interesting to do a movie on, if so make a PM

Great job, as always!

Ahh, rust. The bane of my existence.

I'm glad you did what you did by sending back the pile of parts to let him put it back together. You are truly a mentor and a super swell dude!

The piece you cut off can be made into a keeper. I do this on Leather ZULU straps. I also remove all hardware except the buckle. Then I make two leather keepers from the removed section and so I can use the strap as a single pass with the buckle and keepers under the wrist like a normal strap. To make the two keepers you need to cut the leather lengthways, measure it, skive it, glue it, and add a stitch or two.

Its beautiful even all scratched up

Your videos have been inspirational for me as they have been for so many others. So proud of how far you have come and how well you are doing…look at those subscriber numbers! Keep it up

fascinating post, good tech!...so enjoyable...great dialogue and animating...please be well!

Im glad you left on some of the age spots on it

Hi Marshall, Great channel. I’ve spent many enjoyable hours watching you disassemble/describe/reassemble watches. So very enjoyable. Question: Have you ever worked on jump hour watches? I have a Sicura (circa early 70’s) that could use your skills. I’d love to see you get in inside and bring it back to life!

What book, chapter and verses of the Holy Bible provide the text mentioned in this video?

"Isn't everything a sandwich?" Is a great tee shirt idea

Not everyone has watch knowledge like you. Some random normal dude was probably just trying to get his watch to work again and couldn’t afford to take it to a repair shop. Let it go, not everyone is you.

What gives a feeling of pleasure in an especially mechanical watch is this autonomous and protected miniature mechanism that we carry everywhere we go. A small time counter that shows the time and has a beat. One of the most valuable and useful inventions of human technology.

I love the mose pad

A beautiful watch. Thanks for the entertainment and education.

Plot twist Marshall is Zeth Rogen :O :D

Rejected by Rolex? Very disappointing that they wouldn’t doctor their own. I would think that would be part of what you pay for.

What about vintage tools that you find in eBay ?

Do you ever restore old quartz watches eg Raymond weill

How in the world can the time grapher report amplitude in degrees by apparently just listening to the sound of the movement?

The video is impressive. You're doing a great job! I'm speechless. Many greetings from Germany 👌👍

You would be more likely to spot Sasquatch than to meet somebody who has an encyclopedia of knowledge in his head of the most niche industry in the jewelry manufacturing/Restoration world. This guy is nuttier than squirrel turds when it comes to his craft and his attention to detail, and in this day and age is unheard of. His narration skills are also second to none. THIS, IS THE MOST INTERESTING MAN IN THE WORLD.... thank you sir for entertaining us all.✊🏽💯🙏🏽

Very interesting to see Bakelite here. In my experience, Bakelite has proven to be fairly tough. It was used in everything from jewelry, to clocks, radios, AK47 magazines (I actually have one of these) and all sorts of other things. The old commercials when it first came out showed them suspending a car using a single rod of Bakelite. Crazy stuff. Going beyond that, I find it fascinating that they used Radium for the lume. Is that sort of thing even safe to wear? Great vid and hats off to anyone who can work with such precision. Well done sir.

i like how you make it sound like as if the commentary was live

Honestly I wouldnt even restore or fix it, the wear and tear gives it so much more personality than any brand new shiny one

I have a similar watch. Can you help it servicing?

Ok!! I have watched a few uploads of yours Marshall that I now feel save to sub... Absolutely love watching a watch get rebuilt, don't know why but it's awesome nonetheless.. Thank you sir.

Wow, absolutely mesmerizing watch (double meaning!).

Cool
