      You remind me of Wristwatch Revival, you have great potential! You know whats funny, never could afford an automatic seiko watch, here they are between 250-400 $, almost a sallary. But i was always fascinated about them, the movement, also, started my own jurney to repair watches. Some dream to have a Rolex, i just want a seiko. :D

    At the age of 64 I still posses every watch I have ever owned except for my "Water resist" pogue that was stolen when my car was broken into over the winter of 1978 / 1979. It was a great joy to see this one so lovingly brought back to life.

    Finally finished getting everything together and I'm officially starting my journey as a "watchmaker". I have a Seagull ST36 that I've been taking apart and putting back together. I have 2 Waltham 16s model 1908 wristwatch movements that have been disassembled and are ready to be cleaned. I plan to case these movements and giving them to my 2 sons as family heirlooms. Thank you, Adam, for giving me the confidence to jump into the wonderful world of watch repair!

I mean, I know what to do, but the balance jewels on this movement I have isn't shock protected, and I can't seem to get them out to replace them since the lower jewel is broken.

Some of the other CZcams watchmakers seem afraid of being too repetitive, but some of us learn from repetition and after a while we begin to understand what the parts are and how they work together to make the watch run. I hope you don't lose your gift of clearly explaining the process to laymen like us. Great Job!

    Many years ago I began repairing cuckoo clocks as I have always been fascinated by clocks. Recently I inherited several mechanical wrist watches and pocket watches from my parents and have been able to take them apart, clean, and oil, and to my amazement they begin keeping time after decades of idleness. That is an amazing feeling. I’m falling in love with wristwatches and I am a little scared I will become a hopeless collector. I owe all of this to watching videos of yours on how to precisely handle the delicate mechanisms. You challenge me, but I’m learning so much. Thank you

      I appreciate that. I was considering dropping it from the video. I didn't know if people really cared to see it, but I enjoyed putting it together. Thank you!

    I watch a number of watch repair videos and find yours thorough and interesting. Thanks for your effort and time.

    Wow! I never had so much fun watching a watch repair video. I also enjoy the pace as I really learn and remember a lot, and it makes the viewing so much more enjoyable compared to most similar channels. I will be back, soon looking forward to the next one.👍

    Turned out gorgeous. Very cool seeing the guts of a Seiko automatic chrono from back then

    I also wanted to mention that I am taking the Mark Lovick courses you mentioned. Good classes.

    After having several technical/craftsman careers in my 58 years, (Electronic repair, automotive technician, professional photography…) you have fueled my fire for watch repair!!!! I have recently accumulated a dozen or so 1970s Seikos in various states of running/appearance! And of course about 800$ of used and new tools! My wife has no idea of this process, but every few weeks she spots a super cool vintage Seiko- with a super cool vintage dial on my wrist and says WOW that’s cool! It’s good for one’s marriage, yes?

      That's fantastic! As far as if it's good for one's marriage, I'll refrain from any further comment, haha!

    When a watch repair video in full movie length got your audience glued to the screen, you can be sure, you have done everything right.
    As always, this video is informative (sometimes educational) as it is entertaining.
    Congratulations to the 10k milestone, imho it is well deserved.

    Wow what a process, I came to the channel after seeing some folks commenting about your work. Love the stuff from the 1960's and 70’s so this one was a treat. You do great work indeed.

    Beautiful job. My grandfather had a similar watch years ago. Nice to see it restored to its former glory.

    I love watching every single one of your Seiko Chronograph videos. You, sir, are a true inspiration to me in my watchmaking journey!

    Heh - that was me noting the single-tweezer Diashock spring a few months back. Now I watch every time if you're going to be so bold again...
