@8:50 you forgot to mention the walk was uphill, both ways ;)

I collect vintage Smiths watches. I have six or seven in total, Astrals, DeLuxes, a solid gold Everest, an Imperial and a pre-DeLuxe no name model.

Eres un genio gracias por compartir tus videos….

Elle n ya pas grande différence entre 6145 et 6119 presques toutes les pièces de rechanges sont valables pour la 6119

I really enjoy your productions!!! Learning and humor all-in-one! Thank you!

Thank you, really enjoyed your video. The watchmaking skills are very pleasing to witness, but enjoyed your commentary even more. Best regards a member of the grumpy club! :)

My uncle Bjorn Meyer, was Norwegian 😊

Cats do catch rats and mice and gophers...well...mine do...

Stian! Been worried about your absence😢 Thought that maybe you'd been kidnapped by North Korean agents, and shipped in a crate to PyongYang, there to service, under pain of death, the watches of that dastardly regime. Well, that seemed the most logical explanation, to me at least. Imagine my relief when I learnt you'd merely been on your jolly holidays😊

Glad to see you back up and ticking, Stian! Breguet numerals are also another nice legacy of A.L.B.! On the note of Frankenwatches, I’ve had to sharpen my eyes with vintage Seikos due to the volume of “mods” out there. I got suckered with one about a year ago and it really bummed me out. Thankfully my watchmaker was able to restore closer to original.

Thank you for explaining your view on replace versus re-use the mainspring. I am newer and more hobbyist currently and have seen both claims by various channels, most re-use for the history which seems incorrect, but your explanation on lower amplitude to improve longevity over time of the parts really helps.

I bought a brand new "Submariner" Rolex back in the mid-60s for diving. Years later the stem was in need of replacement so I took it to what thought was a reputable jeweler. I got the watch back weeks later, but upon checking it closely later, I found the second hand was not "sweeping" as it should if it was a genuine Rolex; instead it was jumping as a fake digital Rolex does. I'm contain either the jeweler, or whomever they sent it to exchanged the genuine Rolex action for a cheap knock-off digital!! I still have the box, the emblems, and the guarantee with the watch serial number, so I may yet see if I can trace where the real watch action went!!

you could do a 23 and me with the gunk.

I’m considering buying this watch, but not the biggest gold plated fan. I don’t think this was ever made in solid gold.

Die Frage stellt sich doch gar nicht, wie bei der Videoüberschrift. Chinesische Sachen sind Scheiße, und bleiben auch Scheiße! Ich habe in meinem ganzem Leben noch niemals von einem chinesischem Qualitätsprodukt gehört? Das muss da doch erst mal noch gebaut werden! 10 Sek. Unterschied am Tag? Da ist ja meine Timex noch genauer.

Do the pawnshop understand this?

That is one beautiful IWC. Glad it's not for sale because I'd be stupid and buy it.

That is a beautiful machine.

Great looking timepiece. Love the movement, you're clearly familiar with its operation. I enjoyed the nostalgia

What a beautiful watch. Good job Theo.

Just started watching your videos it's incredible the skill you have even making watch parts yourself from scratch wow!! This movememt is exquisite!

Glad to see this in my feed. Welcome back homie. #thuglife

You are a deeply funny humanoid, and a great watchmaker to boot. That's a saying, but it sounds rather aggressive.

Your Sea-gull is a knockoff of Seagull 🙂

I believe that Taiwan currently is the Asian leader in quality manufacturing followed by South Korea and Japan with Malaysia a distant 4th.

Hi Stian, does this bezel removing tool can be used for all bezels with wire spring? Thanks

I just bought on EBay a Zodiac triple date moon watch, so it's very interesting to learn what's under the hood! Thanks

Holes in the case to equalise pressure to prevent the glass being popped off when flying at high altitude and decending quickly.

Wow! Great job!

This was a brilliant click bait by a watch maker. He just wants to make videos showing what he does. The fake question was left unanswered and he never intended to discuss it.

Rolexes are outstanding watches. Sure, overpriced, like Vespas, Harleys, Apples (;)) and most products of other world famous brands. Complaining about makes no sense at all.

Where is good place to buy a 'super fake' ?

A video I didn’t know I needed to watch. Well done indeed! Made me a subscriber… ❤

OMG, This is such a nice watch... I wish I could afford to join his Patreon, but the funds are tight... I hope (which I am never lucky enough) to win this watch!!!

Glad you're back, I particularly enjoyed this video, with you making the parts required for the fly back function. Lovely movement and a very smart watch. In the UK, it is now becoming dangerous to wear nice watches, although I suppose most robbers wouldn't know what a fine watch this is.

Did you know rolex araganated from England!?.and they or a charity that how they getaway from paying taxes!?and that's why they left England the taxes were high.

It's easy to make fake Rolex watchers.

Камера скачет, как бешенное кенгуру 🤕

Very informative and helpful video as well as an important reminder about being careful when buying vintage watches. It was very helpful to see the various ways the watches were problematic with both obvious and subtle changes having been made. Thanks for the education! (Regarding the Felipe Rene watch, the dial said "Incabloc", but there was no Incabloc shock protection on the balance wheel pivot.) ~ ml

You should get a dog to help you out. He would be a watchdog.

Did I make a video that could have been shorter?

The watch came out great, and that bracelet magically looks good too.

Fume extractor huh? Change your diet a bit and you won't need it. Less noise.

Chapeau. It's always a pleasure to see a master watchmaker at work. You are a particularly skilled man. Out of curiosity, have you ever thought to make your own watch from "scratch"? You surely know where to source gears and pinions and where to make the bridges.

Made at Cheltenham = Made in England Made in Great Britain = Wales at Ingersoll/Smiths factory

Excellent work on a beautiful watch. Nice lathe! It's all about the tools...... 😊

Another great video Stain, thank you for sharing!

Franken seiko is common, but franken breguet?? Some rich madman level that I love to hear.
