- Marshall restores another vintage watch, this time a Rotary watch that belonged to Jim Hume, a journalist in Canada for over 70 years. He was 98 when he passed away, leaving behind a long career in journalism as well as this watch. His family wanted to have it restored to working condition as it has stopped running and has a weird issue with the hands.
Join Marshall as he dives into this restoration and learns a few new things!

Yo Marshall! I GOT HIRED AT CITIZEN AS A WATCHMAKER. Took a lot of inspiration from your vids!
@@RussianFans-vn6cj I'm not interested thank you
Do you know anything about old wittnaur movements? I just have a question
What kind and how much actual training have you had Winston?I am very interested in knowing!
That’s awesome!
Might share some percent of ur salary to the man...😅
Time to get settled in for an awesome video! Anyone need any refreshments, go to the bathroom, do it before you watch! Thanks Marshall!
I'll take some popcorn
❤❤❤ gummies for me please 🙏:3
😂 before you “watch” 😂
@@WristwatchRevival That butter can’t be good for the movement.
Love this channel, just like “Journey to the Microcosmos”. I’m fascinated by the small(er) things in our world
Some of my favorite words to hear at the beginning of a RUclips Video:
"Hello there and welcome back to another video here on Wristwatch Revival. My name is Marshall. Thank you so much for coming along."
It just makes me happy.
I watch several watch youtubes, but no one, I repeat no one, narrates as sympathetically and as informatively as you. Thank you.
One of the perks of having a 4k monitor is getting to watch your videos in the best quality possible. It really makes the movements shine that much more once you get them clean.
I much rather watch your vidéos than the official news here. Tanks Marshall for this successful renewal.
This guy is the Bob Ross of watch restoration. Love watching and relaxing on the couch while you do it.
It's so satisfying to watch multiple problems being solved. This is a complicated watch with unusual challenges to get it running again. Thank you for another great journey, Marshal.
@@RussianFans-vn6cj Get lost !
@@MrPleers Hey, at least he's not one of those "you've won a prize" Tele-gram scammer impersonators.
@Fawad Khan I respect your sense of responsibility. By why did you select me on this website about watch repairing when my comments have absolutely nothing to do with Islam?
@tradde11 I did as well.
Very cool! I'm from Victoria and net Jim Hume and played rugby at the same time as his sons (back in the 1970s). Wonderful to see you restore his watch.
Imagine being Jim Hume having lived through WW2 experienced the invention of the vinyl record into magnetic tapes into compact disks into fully digital streaming media. Imagine having halls full of shelves replaced by rooms full of equipment with magnetic tape storage into being able to store billions of pages of written text into a device the size and thickness of a fingernail, the invention and spread of home phone lines into cellphones into smartphones and a furniture size tube driver radio receiver turned even bigger furniture television turned color, turned from tiny CRT to big CRT to projection to LCD to plasma and now flexible OLEDs as thin as cardboard...
It is astounding what humanity achieved within about 150 years from first steps in electronic and simple circuitry into the first semiconductor transistors making tubes obsolete into logical clusters of millions of those with each being only a few hundreds of atoms in size...
Hi Marshall, Rotary are a UK company and are still going strong, I have two of their modern watches myself. :) Great videos BTW
Me too. Mines a quartz (I have a lot of 'real' watches as well) but I lusted after the particular model I have from the age of 15 in a shop in Southend (UK) . At age 45 I got back into watches and bought it from a UK retailer and had it sent to me where I live now in Australia. Crazy world.
@@neonteepee8453 you on Watchcrunch?
@@RussianFans-vn6cj ummm is that a watch thing??
@@RussianFans-vn6cj You are misusing this channel for your propaganda. I am not amused.
They were originally Swiss, and then moved their head office to London. Sort of like Rolex, but the other way round. 🙂
I like how you're talking to the spring like a dog. Sit! Sit! Stay!
I love how Marshall doesn't get fazed when things - to my totally unexpert eyes - go catastrophically wrong, like the main spring leaping out and unfurling! He just gets the right tool and fixes it. Respect.
The narration clearly isn't live.
he was surprised since he clearly cringed and moved back, and it hit something as it sprung loose so he reacted to that as well…it’s a metal spring unfurling with a lot of energy, it could easily slice into you leaving a gash if you’re not careful!
@@milesrout and he jumped back a little when it popped outj
@@RussianFans-vn6cj How do you know this?
Typewriter in the background was a nice touch.
Enjoyable as always, that band brings back memories of the commercial "The Speidel Twit-O-Flex; so flexible, you can tie it in a knot". Thanks!
I remember Mr. Hume. Reading his articles. Thank You for pulling out the memories.
Awesome Marshall, it's an early frosty morning here in England, and I'll settle in and watch this as I warm up and get ready for my day, the perfect way to start 😀
Funny, I'm in MN usa & it's the middle of the night, but I'm up reloading the fire & warning up as well! Although it's a bit past 'frosty' at -4f / -20c outside.
I knew the sum total of zero about watches until I started watching these posts from Marshal, I love them, I also spotted that the pallet fork hadn`t located first time so, brownie points to me!!
Keep them coming Marshal!
your the Robert Woods of watch repair I love watching you at work
I cannot stop watching these video, they are so good 😁
This was awesome love the beauty of this rotary watch
it never ceases to amaze me, that every time the watch comes back to life, it's like seeing a tiny little beating heart! And I love that! But the other thing is, I'm amazed at how Marshall can take apart a timepiece, with all of the endless parts like springs, wheels, and screws, and know where each little piece goes! Marshall, you must be a man with great patients! LOL!! Thanks for another history lesson about each watch you work on!
I've said it before but for me this is one of the most interesting and relaxing channels to watch on RUclips so thanks once again for sharing.
I was checking Mr. Jim Hume’s blog. Incredible, his last post was on April 1st this year, he passed on April 13th. Really a remarkable example for us to follow! Very interesting reading, pity I didn’t know about his blog before! RIP Mr. Hume 🙏🏼
If you wish to check his blog, search Jim Hume British Columbia.
Thanks Marshall! Maybe the secret for a long profitable life is a mechanical watch? 😉 ⏰
Watch makers never cease to amaze me with their patience and skill
@@RussianFans-vn6cj not interested in your fantasy bullshit
Beautiful detail at the end of the video with the typewriter…as always I enjoyed at lot . Thanks!
Lovely job and great awareness!. Hope you didn't get a smack in the face from that main spring!, I nearly broke a finger letting down a spring in a clock!, Dangerous things. Beautiful watch, my era. Well done Marshall. Adrian.
Another great job! And a very nice touch putting on the old type writer at the end! I'm sure they will cherish the watch for years to come...
Patient problem solving. And what a great story. Relaxing entertainment from an engaging channel.
Spidel Twist-o-flex. Great for pulling arm hair. Nice job, as always.
The old “Twist-O-Flex” bracelet, I remember the commercials when I was a little kid. I believe you can still buy them today.
Main spring tool! YAY! Also, lots of jumpers this episode. VERY EXCITING lol
Nice salute to typewriter repairmen at the end. Our family business was just that for 50 years. Cheers 🇨🇦
I finally found my grandfather’s watch and would love to have it restored
You sir, are talented, with a steady hand, and with excellent observation gifts, as well as good eye sight, methodical work character, and mechanical intuition!
I had to Google "Jim Hume journalist" and found that he passed in April 2022. And what an amazing read on all the posts of his obituary. That watch is part of Vancouver history! R.I.P. Mr. Hume
Amazing history on the man who owned the watch. Thank you Marshall for another great video.
I have such a soft spot for those old stretchy bands. Some of my earliest memories were playing with my mom's watch that had a similar but thinner band just like this one.
@14:55 very satisfying seeing those pieces presented so neatly
I'm so glad that so many other people share the same passion for watches. Thanks Marshall for your dedication.
That’s sage advice when it comes to attempting to clean a dial; best just to leave alone as very often can be made worse in a cleaning attempt. One issue I have had with that Speidel band is the multi fit lug width type is spring loaded and it causes a lot of damage to the inside of the lugs! I have actually ground the lug ends and polished the ends so there’s no spring tension pressing against the lugs. This is something customers have not taken issue with and preserves the case itself. Thanks for sharing!
Sooooo satisfying. Love how you figured out the issue with the calendar wheel not clicking over.... masterful stuff 😎
Hands down, my favourite part of collecting _anything_ vintage is getting to hear all the fascinating stories & history that come as part of the package.... and to be honest, I'm more impressed that little Rotary survived decades of solid use including salmon fishing than I am about who Jim was fishing with! What a wonderful timepiece to share with us - thanks Marshall! 👌
Yes!!!! Another amazing watch and another amazing journey! I feel like you're really getting into your groove now Marshal. It's great to be able to go on this journey with you. Can't wait for the next one. Take care.
It's hard to believe you can turn servicing a watch into such am exciting Adventure.. Big thumbs Up..
Awesome job. Love the narrative, makes me feel like I have a connection to to owner. My dad collected watches, mostly junk but he had so much fun (trying) to repair them. The videos do make me miss him more, in a good way of course, so thank you! I actually gave him a Citizen watch when I was 16 and my brothers said I should take it back after he passed. It is battery powered, but a good solid piece.
It is so enjoyable to watch you work and breathe life back into an old watch. You have such a good presentational style and you make it look easy, which I think is the sign of a true professional.
I'm always excited to see when he drops in the balance spring if it will spring to life, and when it does its like YES!!!!!
Thanks Marshall, the best 45 minutes of my week! It's great to hear the stories and see the restoration of these old timepieces.
I said it before and I say it again. Your videos are so interesting that it's hard to do anything else until watching it to the end. It's not just your skills Marshall that your viewers appreciate but your commentary makes your videos very appealing to watch. My hat's off to you Sir and to those who engineered it. From Canada 🇨🇦.
I am not a watch repair tech or watch repair hobbyist at the moment, but I found myself watching these videos which are very interesting! Thank you so much! 😊
That was a beautiful looking watch; all goldeny inside...
The watch sitting on the typewriter at the close was a nice touch.
Marshall, saving one watch at a time! Another awesome restoration!
Your videos really help me to chill after a tough day at work. A great narrator and "hobbyist".
Love the recent restorations with such beautiful stories, adds a little something extra!
A very interesting story of a decent life of a respected person. And these hours are part of his life. Thank you for your hard work.
You know you have been sucked into something when rather than just stumbling across content you actively look out for and look forward to the next instalment. This one did not disappoint thanks Marshall and I will look forward to the next one.
another great vid,,, we love sharing the trip with ya
Thank you for showing us when problems arise! It's nice to watch your troubleshooting process.
Awesome work, an absolute pleasure to watch....
I always learn something new and a new skill as a watch hobbyist...thanks
Love watching your videos. You are a great narrator too. Easy to listen to and very informative.
Great video and once again you have returned the dead to life. Thank you.
2:19 It’s so nice to see a watch from someone from my country whose name I haven’t heard in the last few years.
I have watched so many of your videos I can listen to you and know what you're talking about. This means I can tend to the baby and still not miss a thing you are doing. Another excellent cleaning.
This is very, very cool! I remember reading and discussing Mr. Hume's articles while studying political science at Memorial University of Newfoundland and Labrador.
One of the best watch servicing videos I have ever seen love how you include the mistakes you made as well somehow you manage to make this interesting for the whole time
I cracked up when you told the little spring ".....errrr......no......sit". Talking to an inanimate object. LOL
I do so enjoy your videos. (^_^)
The only thing exceeding the skill of the restoration is Marshall's easy, informative narration. 1+1=10! Thank you for a gratifying 45 mins.
Truly beautiful restoration . From Sechelt BC we love you and Jim Hume 💕🇨🇦
A talented man you are, nice to see that you could repair it for the son.
Hi Marshall, my name is Justin. I just turned 40 and a couple weeks before I turned 40 I started getting into mechanical wrist watches. I found your channel and have been hooked. I love watching your videos at night before bed. I will watch this one tonight!😊
Excellent I really enjoyed this one. Fault found and fixed, well done Marshall.
@@RussianFans-vn6cj another book of fairy stories, same as the others.
i just picked up my first wrist watch a used Seiko 5 automatic 21 jewel, and I feel like a new man. I can't stop looking at it, and I seems to be keeping pretty decent time as compared against my cell phone time.
I picked this watch up because of you Marshall, you made me fall in love with watches, and their complexities.
Same here! I had forgotten about mechanical watches but then I bought a lightly used Seiko 5 because I happened across these videos from Marshall. It keeps great time and set it and forget it. I'lll be putting it on in a few minutes here as I'm heading off to work. My moving keep its heart beating and we are inseparable.
Aha! So mixing up screws is a problem. Thanks for not editing that out. After watching many of your videos, I always felt that selecting the incorrect screw during restoration would be one of my biggest fears. Excellent video.
Fantastic restoration and beautiful watch!
And we are lucky to have witnessed you work your magic on this gorgeous time capsule of a watch
A very good job, nice that the clock is running again.👍
another great story and great timepiece. Fabulous job and I trust the owner will wear it with pride. Glad you made it happen for him!
I'm a watchmaker myself. Slightly more than a hobbiest. Taught by my grandfather who was a master watchmaker with his own shop. I've been binge watching your channel for about two weeks. I'm hooked. Great job!!!!
There is something very pleasing to hear about a watch that has been worn for so long and on so many special occasions. Especially, as it seems like that Jim Hume did wear it as it's only watch.
I didn't look for this but extremely glad I got here. The editting, narration, quality, precision and most importantly watches. That brings back my childhood when my grandfather used to fix watches, I was there looking how he does all of it for hours and hours. Thank you for bringing my memories back! One of the best things that happened today. Great work! Thank you.
This really is the best watch repair channel. It's so relaxing to watch too!
Hope you're still doing this at 98, Marshall! My fav, most relaxing YT channel. Thanks for another great video!
Your videos relax me and you're very good at what you do. Thank you for your content!
Great service, very nice and clear recording, beautiful watch, wonderful content. Thanks for sharing, Marshall.
Half a million subscribers. It still blows me away, but then, besides getting watches back to working and educating us, your narration is like that fine lubricant, making everything work like a champ!
I love your videos. They made me love watch movements and buy my first Hamilton. I am debating on getting into watch repair myself because of your videos.
Bob Ross of watches. Love the videos!!
Once again a great video of the restoration of this simple but lovely watch.
Thanks for sharing your passion and skill with us all.
Your videos are more captivating than 90% of Netflix series. I didn't see the 45 minutes pass.
Great stuff again!
I love this channel and didn't miss a single video.
Thanks for your effort to "watchtain" us!
Hi, Marshall. Just wanted to say how much I enjoy your videos. I find them calming; a place for everything and everything in it's place. It's so nice to experience an orderly world for a while - before I have to go out and confront the chaotic one again. It's also nice to depend on there always being a happy ending - at least so far anyway. And I love hearing the story behind each watch. Looking forward to your next adventure on the bench!
Me too -You must be either a nurse or social worker! LOL
I love how you said Rotary aren't really around anymore and yet because of your channel I've been obsessed with over the last couple of months, I literally asked for a Skeleton Watch from Rotary for Christmas off my Dad as he has always been big into watches.
Great repair Marshal. Thanks again for the instructions and commentary
I'm always excited to see when Marshall drops in the balance spring if it will spring to life, and when it does its like YES!!!!!
I love how you readily admit to your errors. Even the best can make mistakes.
Great restoration! Love Rotary watches, I have 3!! They are still in business, quite well-known here in the UK. Fairly solid, pretty reliable, some good-looking watches! ⌚️🤗🤗
I’m in Vancouver and met Jim Hume years ago! I love the whole video but your last shot of the watch sitting on the keys of an old typewriter is just brilliant!!
another enjoyable educational video... Thank You!!!
