Nice

Wow, that is a complicated watch, not for the faint of heart when repairing.

Did you do a video on how you modified the winders?

Nice

Maybe someone stored it deep inside for safe keeping. That’s how dirty that looks. 🤢

Please tell us about the watch you're wearing during the cleaner segment. Thank you.

I am a little late to comment on your post but I just discovered, and subscribed to, your channel. I see that you decided to continue the narration. I think your clear descriptions are of great value to anyone watching who may not be familiar with certain watches and movements. I agree with your comment about hand winding the mainspring. Once you get beyond the standard set of winders there are a myriad of different size barrels and having winder for each would become very expensive. As long as you are careful, as you were, and do not kink the spring, the only difference between hand winding and a tool is convenience. Finally your mention of Henry Fried’s book brought back memories. My father and Henry were good friends and both belonged to the New York Horological association. Henry lived nearby and I knew him before I knew what he was. Later I got into the watch business and had many meetings and discussions with Dad and Mr. Fried. Bottom line, Henry was a very nice man and very helpful with information. Keep up the good work.

Love the narration, the history talk... I am looking at local ads and there is the same watch for sale, somewhat better condition then yours was. This is one is supposedly running and alarm is working. What's a good price for it?

Wonderful restoration, gear repair was awesome.

Merci pour cette vidéo qui montre votre très beau Savoir Faire... Et ces machines d'une autre époque qui aide vos mains à guérir ce calibre pour ainsi dire à l'heure de sa dernière heure... 😁⌚🖐️🙏

Young boy , again , brilliant work .

Keep up the good work, very impressive workmanship!

Communism restored

I learned something today but I was suprised that you didn't clean the face. I couldn't of done it. Too little for me to deal with.

I have the same watch that does not work. I would like for you to work on it.

Has anyone noticed how the watch case is made to look like those ana digi watches from 70s and 80s

See what you do is take all the parts that couldn't be saved and build a little stand for the watch to be displayed on. Be it hung or be it a base you lay the watch on when you take the watch off the stand you see the parts that had to be replaced encased in resin arranged to where they would have been found inside the watch. While the house fire is a terrible experience it's still very much apart of the history of the watch that would be handed to each generation. You don't have all the time in the world so make the most out of the time you have be then good or bad times.

What would you charge for a restoration/repair such as this?

Bir saatsever olarak terapi gibiydi.Teşekkürler paylaşımın için.

Отличная работа🙂👍

Magnificent documentary! Beautiful videography, lighting. Even your carefully chosen music works nicely, meditative and never distracting. What a 20-minute education, especially with the part names in URH corner! How exciting to restore a castaway antique to like new. I love watching a real pro at work, to see how it's all done. Thank you for making this!

Really good video. There were some issues with shadows by your hand at some points it'd be perfect if you can fix those too.

Hi Chris, another great video, and thanks for the heads up on White watch crystals. I had been buying them in bulk, and that "buy 20 to (maybe) get one" gets old quickly. Also useful was the one vs. three dial washer issue. I have my grandfather's Longines pocket watch, and the hour hand is a bit wonky. Maybe a second (or third) dial washer will fix the problem.

I have around 50 soviet watches. Even ones that only generals could get, then i have one thats only was givsn to desants and other strange radioactive watches. All for sale

I have this type of pocket watch can you fix it for me

At about 22 minutes you about killed my heart when you said for those who can remember the game of operation. lol 👍🤙❤️

Seiko réparation...

AMAZING to say the least. You know when your watching a movie and you et all tensed up? Watching you make those parts, fitting them and then putting the chain back on I'm like at the edge of my damn chair. I've always loved watch's, Seiko being my favorites. But seeing you, and others on yt has really opened my eyes to a whole other world, and I find it absolutely fascinating. If I have to get up for any reason, I make sure I pause it so I don't miss anything. Thank you for showing us a whole new world.

Amazing works

A beautiful thing brought back to life. Great vid.

This is a beautiful watch a little bit of history .I love the quality and workmanship I have a Waltham 1883 that I carry every day it has a daily variation of less than ten seconds. Thank you for keeping these beautiful watches alive

I too watched to the end. I am delighted by the "Gold" etching in the bridges, which is really pretty and tells of the quality. There is a certain elegance with the enumeration of the faces that use the "Dido" style font. Beautiful restoration and lathe work. Thanks for sharing.

Wow, so gorgeous. Great work. I have never worked on a fusee.

russian tank

I wanted to hear the alarm?

Thank your so much for this thoroughly awesome and educational video.. I`m a clock and watch collecter and have minimal repair skills but appreciate your fantastic techical skills

Great job Chris, watch reminds me of the Seiko bell-matic.

You said at 55:10 you needed to set the movement to 12:00 before putting the hands on, how did you do that? Do you have to do that with the dial off so you can see where the sensing gauges are?

Is the alarm the Russian anthem?

"well, oiled"

The balance spring probably dissolved not just because of the amount of rust but also because of an adverse reaction between certain spung steels and certain cleaning products. ScoutCrafter did a vid about this recently.

Please i need your help with my Waltham 1883 17 jewel pocket watch

Hey thanks for the great Accutron Vid!

I'm glad no pivots were harmed in the making of this video. Trust me, you don't want to deal with ASPoP (American Society for Protection of Pivots). Those guys are animals!

Great job on a beautiful watch.

Nice video bro

What a beautiful machine. I want one and I don't do watch repair.

Im fascinated by how this things are working and whom ever invented them and the evolution in technology evolved over time

you're not just a hobbyist you're a miracle worker

awesome one
