Where do you get your tools from for the watches I want to give the

Ĝood 1 bro You very knowlegletaole.

Thank you for making this, you got my sub.

Nice job 👏

Thoroughly enjoyed this one ! 👍

the Jacot tool is for burnishing pinions, which is different than polishing. Polishing removes metal while burnishing reshapes. It’s less about “straightening” and more about correcting the grooves on pinions that are cut bc the jewels are much harder than metal. This is ultimately done to correct positional variation.

Excellent viewing and what a precision, affordable Chinese tool set :-)

Enjoy your videos. Voice narration would add a lot.

Nice watch, new fix.

Nice job as usual keep up the great job

9:25 I'm here because i saw the similar Starting watch repair tool currently on ebay right now for $250 for the whole set. Kinda wondered what is that, now i know😁.

Thanks for doing this experiment! I am about to try polywatch *burp* for the first time 😁

Saudações! Uma pequena correção. O movimento do vídeo é um espartano Hangzhou 9310, clone do clone série ST-36... Apenas não é decorado como o Sea-Gull. O Hangzhou possui uma vantagem sobre os outros, uma jóia na extremidade da ponta inferior do eixo do tambor da mola principal. Nem Sea-Gull, ETA ou Unitas possuem essa pedra num ponto de grande tensão mecânica lateral mesmo rodando lentamente. 👍

Thanks for the feed back, another tool I need.

Love watching these videos!! If you dont mind me asking, how much are they usually worth after restoration? Obviously theres a large variation, but if you got a broken one for 50 -100 bucks and got it running nicely, cleaned it up, polished some surfaces to jaz it up etc etc How much would it be worth after the work? (Generally obviously lol) Im assuming a broken pocket watch for 100 bucks would be about 4- 500 bucks if it was running perfectly, clean as could be and no huge damage just wear marks.. Would my assumption be correct? Thanks for your time and orgasmic content!!

love your content very much, i was just curious to get the 21 jewels I thought the excapment wheel and the pallet have hole jewels and cap jewels. maybe that waltham has a jeweled barrel i didnt see

Инструмент хорошо, а золотые руки и светлая голова лучше...

Great video. What is the brand of the made in China snap back remover and the crystal press? Thank you! You have a new follower as well!

It's okay to buy something that you just want, just because you like it.. Your new vintage tools are so awesome.

Hey yo those aren't finger covers on the thumbnail are they ....

OK, so this is the 2nd time I heard Waltham Watch mentioned. As it is a Massachusetts town, it hurts my ears when I hear the pronunciation. 'We' say Wall Tham, not Wall Thum. I realize that if I went to another area of the country, I would be laughed at for my pronunciation of local names. And that watch is beyond beautiful! So glad it got the TLC it needed.

Thank you for a most beautiful video of an extremely tasteful restoration: 👍👌👏!

Magic Mark, truly :-) A very pretty Elgin with gold numerals and textured enrichment to the dial… I have a similar one in a green gold filled case… I love all well executed inscriptions-so important to history. Wonderful the watch came into your capable, incredibly skilled hands-Thank you:-) your knowledge is awesome for a "hobbyist". PS: liked, subbed and will look at a Beer :-) God Bless you Lisa! Wish there were more sensitive modern owners just like you-BRILLIANT :-) BTW: Mark, I too work in a hospital-have done for over 45 years :-)

You don’t use One Dip to clean the jewelry’s?

Thank you for this. I’ll be thinking about one of these in due course.

Nice job. I just pick up one that will need to be required. This is going to help a lot. Thanks

Tthanks for doing this comparison. I have often wondered myself. As far as your process it might be god to look under microscope prior to polishing to get a reference point.

Hi,would you still recommend after more than 1 year this press❓❓

Off subject, only very slightly. Sometime after VJ day Swiss watchmakers touted the main watchmakers, Elgin, Benrus, Hamilton and learned how many general purpose watches how many wrist and ship chronmeters. <3per vessel >. They were stunned and said they couldn't have done it. Those companies were the only war time plants guarded 24/7 by Marines

nice

Very nice watch and wonderful back story. A veteran that has seen the bloody side of war up close and personal, does not want to talk about it. I can only imagine the helpless, overwhelming and tragic memories and feelings one must have felt when seeing the carnage of war. They do not wish to revisit these feelings and I can not blame them. There is no glory in war for the ones who fought it.

Ok…. Ive always loved watches have a few nice ones but always thought about servicing and fixing them myself… I’ve been watching videos and decided, yep gonna do it! As I’m searching and researching tools I thought “I should make a CZcams channel about my journey!” Next day… I come up on your channel! I have a pretty small budget so my tool buying will have to be in incriminates and very price conscious… but I’ll get there! Got a lot of catching up to do! But bravo on a great idea! 😄 I do want to ask about your sharpening stone… what grit is it and have you thought maybe you needed a heavier or lighter grit…? Excellent info!

Oh good! Another watch repair channel. I really enjoy seeing this process. Elgin made a lot of watches and they were pretty good quality as well as this watch demonstrates. They are also fairly inexpensive even in good working order.

I wonder why pocket watch dials have preserved better than wristwatch dials.

Online serial number database returns 1932 as date for this movement's serial number - so don't believe everything you read on the internet.

Credit to the CZcams algorithm for getting me here. Long time fan of Wristwatch Revival.

Oh, we do not like broken balance staffs... That's like a car with a blown transmission.

You can preheat it in the oven by putting it very close to the broiler. Then just pull it out and hit it with the torch for a few seconds and it'll jump right over to blue.

Thanks enjoyed the Whole Tour!

There is also a town in Texas called Elgin. However, it is pronounced differently. You say it with a hard G instead of a soft G... We Texans just gotta be different! Cheers! This comment was made to bump the algorithm.

Very good work and good luck with your new video 😊

Just happened onto this episode and was pleasantly surprised when the inscription said Lonoke Co. Arkansas. My dad's family all hale from Lonoke Co. Ark. Small world.

Nice video. Good job reviving such a beautiful piece of wrokmanship. But... I think it is a little unfair to call it a "frankenstein" since none of the original bridges were replaced, only some parts that could wear out and/or break in any watch, and were possibly replaced in many of american watches over the last sentury. For me a frankenstein movement is the one where the numbers on the back of the bridge plates do not match the number on the movement itself.

I want to order this one thanks

Great video, was considering getting a clone staking tool now I can see that it will work. Also need it more to shrink hands when the originals are a bit enlarged. Thanks!

Woooooooo love tools seen a lot of old ones and people dont even want them tanks

This micro technology is mind-blowing?..how did they design let alone manufacturer these time pieces!

Very enjoyable video, thank you Mark, you did a beautiful job. I'm a beginner at watchmaking, about 15 months in. I'd just like to add that the little black mainspring barrel closer that you use? I have one too, and it NEVER works for me. I have yet to press on the top of the thing, and get that satisfying little snap that tells you the barrel lid is properly seated. What's the trick?
