    Cameron seems to be the guy that can bring the watch makers tradition to the next generation.

      Incredibly grateful for this channel - if Cameron offered IRL courses, I’d 100% make the trip.

    Cameron thank you for taking the time to make these videos it's like a watch makers course but at home it's given us budding watch hobbyist a insight on watch making and servicing

    Makes me proud wearing a watch Cameron made. Might have to add another Weiss to the stable :) Great series. Could watch forever!

    These videos have made me cherish my Weiss watch even more and has made me want to consolidate and purchase the diver.

    Cool video, glad to have Cameron explaining the art. I own one Weiss and had a chance to visit the shop back in LA when I picked it up. I had a chance wander around and ask questions which was a real treat. Keep it up!

    Cool video, wonder why he didn’t mention fix-o-drop, unless that’s the oil he was referring to when he talked about the oil that hardens when there is no friction

    • @thewatchmakersworkshop

      Oh yes! Fix-o-Drop is a very important one. It is mainly used as a wash to increase surface tension of a watch part so oil stays where it is placed. I will probably talk about it on an episode about cleaning movements prior to oiling.

      Hah, thanks. This series is focused on the details, so working with Andrew has been great for it.

    Is Moebius oil better than Nye oil?
    If the oil should be kept out of light, will a skeletonized watch with an exhibition caseback have shorter oil life?
    I hear George Daniels' co-axial escapement didn't need oil, but Omega's more easily manufactured version with looser tolerances had to be partly frictional rest and needs oil. [Edit 12Aug2023: Now I see you covered co-axial tolerances & oiling in "Watch and Listen" episodes 8 & 9.]

    One 55 gal drum of any of those oils will service the entire industry.
