The Beatles 1967 Apple Watch Restored

I've made a terrible error. In this video I say this watch was given to Miss Grime working at Apple Records. It was actually Miss Gore. Please accept my apologies.
We delve into the Beatles' involvement in the creation of the original Apple Watch and the brief but iconic history of the Apple Store, which closed after just 8 months. Learn about the lasting influence of the Apple name on today's modern Apple Watch.
See this vintage timepiece come back to life, fully repaired and working. A must-watch for Beatles fans, watch enthusiasts, and anyone intrigued by the intersection of music, history, and technology.

Cheers Andy, had a lot of fun making this.

[@kieronmaughan6940]

Glad to see it all up and running again!

[@home-dp6oh]

It probably runs better now than it did when new!! Good performance for a pin pallet movement. Great macro photography too. I always enjoy your presentation and look forward to the next video. Cheers!

[@GentlemensWatchServices]

Thank you. I've had a couple of these run really well. Probably won't last as long, but they can be pretty good.

[@TerryMurrayTalks]

Top notch, your wit, dexterity and edits are a joy to behold.

[@GentlemensWatchServices]

Thank you Terry, very kind.

[@GentlemensWatchServices]

Thanks mate.

Got to love a BFG 866 (and amazed to see the yoke/yoke spring wasn't broken about 80% of the one's i've played with have been)

[@GentlemensWatchServices]

It's a miracle. The movement was in very good condition

[@mullrump2]

This is entertainingly educational! Many thanks 😊

[@GentlemensWatchServices]

Glad you enjoyed it!

Another winning video. I have worked on several of these BFG movements. Although fidley like described, they are good fun to work on. Thanks for the clarification on where to apply oil for the escapement.

[@GentlemensWatchServices]

Thanks Nick

I have a lovely Old English with a Teddy Bear sitting on the dial.

Such a beautiful click spring for a cheap watch

[@GentlemensWatchServices]

It really stands out doesn't it. Because it's also the click, and the part doesn't need a recess machined to accommodate it, overall it's a cheaper way to do it.

Great quality, love the comment

[@GentlemensWatchServices]

Thank you so much.

[@WMIYC]

So many BFG 866 movements in need. So little time.

[@GentlemensWatchServices]

They are everywhere.

[@adfpv1153]

Excellent dude just excellent 👍👍

[@GentlemensWatchServices]

Thank you so much 😀

I’ve used cat whiskers for the capillary probe. No felines were injured.

[@GentlemensWatchServices]

The pivot on this was so wide it'd be a very big cat.

A man at the pub told me a trainwheel bridge on a bfg866 is easier than resolving an argument with one's spouse while operating a motorcycle. I beg to differ. They appear to be bulletproof, and run reasonably accurate with a little attention. (I swear I'll never do another!)😅
