    The local watchmaker we use to have that’s being generous. His service consisted of washing the entire complete movement in some kind of solvent and then oil the jewels and other points. I never used him I learned how to do it my self and have been fixing all his handy work. I do my own and my friends and a few customers is what I have now, I have been at it a year. I wish I had your tallent Richard. I need a lot more practice I wouldn’t even touch the minute repeater. That would have to be sent to someone like you. I have done several Rolex a bunch of Seikos and several different ETA movements. Chrono movements still give me the pucker factor. But with each service I learn something new. Thanks for sharing your knowledge. Your videos have helped me out several times. Thanks.

    I love watches as they have one of the most amazing mechanics. I love them so much that I purchased 2 pocket watches to get them repaired. It cost a total of $1,100 but it is worth it. Watching videos like this lead me to purchase 2 mechanical watches. At the moment, I have an Elgin, 7 jewel which the movement was produced in 1910. It also has does not have the original case as it was replaced with a sterling silver, Dennison case. I researched into the this watch and it seems pretty special as it could have been used in the first world war. I assume this because the case probably would have been rusted in the trenches (Nickel Backed case) but still not sure. However, what makes it special is the condition of the case as it doesn't even have scratches. The one i love the most is a Fusee pocket watch from 1850 with a decorated front with brass and some weird dial. It is silver cased but sadly it has no makers mark.
    It is really satisfying to see the repair of mechanical watches, especially pocket watches as you get to see the work put into restoring them. Sadly though it is not as widely recognized as it should because of the precision and the craftsmanship involved. Keep up the good work repairing these watches and giving it the recognition it should deserve.

I do prefer a fusee watch over a spring wound watch because of the craftsmanship in the chain. I wonder what it would be to build a watch from scratch and how hard it will be?
