    Well said, I've just done a video in which I release some power from the spring and the watch starts ticking again. I pointed this out in that video as a curious coincidence. If they are going to crucify you, they will have to come get me as well. Nice video

      Perhaps it’s time to take on WOSTEP with Alternative Watchmaking based on homeopathic principles?

      I took one of their alumni out for a pint a few weeks ago. We practised some homeopathy by diluting some gin in some tonic, which worked surprising well. You might be on to something.g @@GentlemensWatchServices

    Excellent and very entertaining video from a watch geek's perspective as usual. Massively underrated channel.. If you were to fix the abruptly ending audio at the end of each line, it would be close perfection by any standard.

    THANK YOU! 😂 I am so sick of hearing the term “over wound.” It’s absolute gibberish - pure poppycock, I do say! 😜 It’s akin to saying, “that car broke because the gas tank was over-filled”. Well anyway, enough rambling from me, great video as usual GWS!

      @GentlemensWatchServices  7 месяцев назад +5

      Exactly! I was going to title the video “Behold, the grand tapestry of untruths woven around the supposed folly of overwinding timepieces! A fanciful concoction, crafted by the imagination's deft hand, yet alas, devoid of veracity.” But it didn’t fit.
