    Literally, it's about time. Railroad watches were so iconic in railroad history and horological history.

    My purchase of a Seiko SVBR003 brought me here. I sincerely hope you are still passionate about trains and railroad watches. You seem like such a lovely person and your happiness was contagious for me watching this at 8pm in Los Angeles. Cheers.

    Nicely done video. Technically, I think for a second hand to be a sweep second hand, it must be concentric with the other hands.

    Very good thank you. I am so fascinated by American railroad grade watches that I have bought a few, Waltham, Elgin, Illinois, and Hamilton. They are wonderful pieces.

    Railroads did so much to change America from the Civil War until the age of the United States Highway in 1950's on

    I recently bought my first pocket watch - 122 year old Tiffany dial Patek Philippe and I’m completely and emotionally in love.

    very cute video, i couldn't help but make my jokes while i did genuinely enjoy the video, all i could think was , ohh this guy is full on aspie lol... but seriously have you thought about hosting childrens educational shows? you have a good entertainment to you but atthe same time fun yet upbeat and calm way of presenting material, and your screen moniker, conductor Parker, youd be a shoe - in for a educational childrens show

    I have this same Hamilton conductors pocket watch. It has all the engravings on the inside of the case from every year it was in service and got checked out by a watch smith to make sure it was working correctly. I actually had an appointment with antique roadshow to have it checked out and so they could tell me the history of the watch. But covid hit and they canceled it
