Woohoo for MuDu. Beautifully done and wonderfully narrated. Always a pleasure to watch and learn.
Thank you Ross!
Enjoyable video as always. History lesson always a treat.
Thanks again!
I watched.
I liked.
I subscribed.
My maternal Grandfather purchased a 30 jewel MuDu on the day that his first child, my Mother, was born. He gave me that watch on Sunday 22nd May 1994 after a wonderful lunch at a nice restaurant in Matlock. The following morning at 08:30, he sadly passed away.
And so started my keen interest in unusual and predominantly vintage watches.
I think we need to have a chat? So an email will be finding its way towards you in the next hour or so.
Thanks for the sub!
Another great video my friend. Well done.
Thanks again! Hope you’ve been getting some time at your bench?
Currently awaiting a pallet fork on a 1922 Elgin which also had a broken mainspring. Didn’t notice the enter stone was chipped. Improved my audio for the next video. It’ll be up soon.
@@Js2060 Looking forward to it.
Great video as always sir you never disappoint bravo!
Thank you Andy, trust everything is marvellous your way.
Paddy was a bermondsey boy, i used to see him a lot around the blue(market) until sadly he was killed must be forty five years ago now. Anyway i love watching your expertise,its very therapeutic.
Thank you
Dude, had a slight dilemma. Saw both you and Marshal from wristwatch revival had both posted. Which one first!!!!! Anyway off to watch his vid now😋 excellent presentation and extremely entertaining as usual my friend 😁👍👍👍👍 thanks my friend and can’t wait for the next one 🤪🤣🤣
Hey AD! Good morning. Poor Marshal had that pin pallet to work on. Funnily enough I’ve got an Old England watch coming to me for repair, something a bit special though.
Cool 😁 something to look forward to 👍👍👍
Very nice, and great oiling btw!
Thank you Trevor!
Loved the video, especially the colorful history. Wow, 19 different screws. Quite a bit of tailoring.
BRILLIANT Guvnor
Cheers mate
Very original presentation, congratulations
Thank you very much!
Well done! I love how it came out and the intriguing backstory! 😁
Hi Mike. I don’t think MuDu made it across the pond in any numbers, but all the ones I’ve worked on have been pretty good.
@@GentlemensWatchServices I'd never heard of it. It sounded like an acronym, not a brand.
Great video. Loved the back story.
Thanks! I had a lot of fun making it.
Excellent good Sir or should I say geezer 😁 as always informative and more importantly entertaining. I love a Felsa movement, have a soft spot for them. Keep up the superb work my friend 👍👍👍👍
More to come! I’ll race you to the next video 😂
@@GentlemensWatchServices your on 🤣🤣
Wow; watch servicing by candlelight! Beat that.
Who's looking out for 'the old Bill'?
Can’t say, no grassing!
Ive just inherited a MuDu from my late uncle, it not running an id love to get it running again

Did you find Paddy Onions' initials under the case back?
1:10 He's yelling at me .
Nice watch. Omit the date change check and cyclops, eh?
Oh, I didn’t show it did I? Date flip was within about 40 mins or so, those big round jumpers are always going to be a bit vague.
