Marshall restores a very early Rolex watch from 1916! These were likely used by military officers as they have a full hunter case configuration which allows them to be protected while out in the field. These were some of the earliest wristwatches and offer a fascinating glimpse into the history of Rolex and wristwatches in general! Enjoy!

"Trench watches" (of which this is a prime example) typically had custom-made cases allowing a wrist strap to be added to a pocket watch case. The one you are showcasing is especially interesting because a traditional hunter case had the lid hinge at the 9-o'clock position, which was opened by pressing in the crown at the 3-o'clock position. It is actually more work to align the hinge in the 12-o'clock position and add a release - so it was done for a reason. This case was specifically re-worked for use in the trenches with the hinge at the 12-o'clock position so when it was opened the inside of the lid wouldn't reflect any light outward towards the enemy as you held it to read the time. The opened lid would actually block the light you were using to read the watch. Pinpoint light sources (such as cigarette lighters, matches, etc.) were common targets for snipers so anything to either block or shade the light was much preferred.

@Hykalith Год назад

A much safer way to adjust the beat error is indeed when you still have taken it apart. You can actually just use your small oiler and gently put it into the gap of the collet from above (careful not to touch the spring) If you now just with the tiniest amount of pressure, slightly turn your oiler, the collet will actually turn as well. If you havent taken the balance appart and the pallet fork is still build in, you can turn the balance until the fork barely touches the sides of these posts and mark the position of the upper attachment point of the spring on the balance. The middle of these two points is of course also going to be the middle of those posts. Just remember to use something to mark that you can erase afterwards again lol i apologize for the essay

Thank you Marshal. Great channel.

@Daindrais Год назад

Recently I sat with two broken pair of reading glasses in front of me. To salvage one usable pair I needed to remove four tiny little screws, giants by comparison to the teensy-weensy ones Marshall encounters. This would have been a frustrating and quickly abandoned effort except for the lessons I have learned from watching these videos, the main one being that of patience. It took nearly an hour, but I got it done. Even after dropping one of the little screws on the floor. Thanks for the mentoring, Marshall!

@JagerEinheit Год назад

To anyone getting into the hobby, please be aware, old watches that glow (1900ish to 1940s) are likely radium painted. If your timepiece glows without needing any charge of light like modern lume, be very careful. Wear PPE and read up on how to deal with radium dust. Don't want anyone suffering due to ignorance. Happy watch repairing or just watching.

The fact that you left the lume on the hands original was the right decision. Not just because it's radium, but because it looks so much better! It would have looked extremely awkward with new lume against that beautifully aged dial. I don't think any form of "artificial aging" of new lume would have looked right. With the new crystal and clean case, this piece looks ready to be put into a museum. Fantastic work Marshall! Thank you for sharing this beautiful and historic timepiece with us!

I’ve been watching this channel for a while, and I don’t have any expensive watches, or work on them. I just enjoy watching and listening to Marshal revive watches

Hello Marshall. I enjoy your videos and of course your work. I do watch lol other channels but enjoy yours the most. I use it as a stress relief. It’s your voice or actually the tone of your voice. It’s really relaxing to listen too. And as well on how you film the video so i find your channel very enjoyable. Thank you

Thank you for your channel. I'm not the first person to say I find the channel relaxing: especially after a stressful day at work. As a collector of many vintage items and watches I get a chance to get excited about watches and their construction by watching this channel. If you have time can you drop some hints for us viewers about what to look for in a jeweler or person to clean, restore, and service a vintage mechanical watch. Thank you.

What a beautiful watch. Just shows how well made and the design was/is , Rolex definitely knew what they we’re making. Excellent work as always.😊

By far, the best artists have to be the watch makers. The skill of designing such intricate pieces and putting them together for an object essentially for giving the time of day is mind blowing.

I truly enjoy watching your videos. I especially appreciate your calm manner and explanations.

@happygimp5167 Год назад

Marshall my friend. I've been watching your videos for quite some time now. And I'm always amazed by the technical and the beauty of all the timepieces I've seen your work on. And I have to tell you, I could never handle how small some of the little springs and screws that have to come together for a timepiece to be able to run. Also, the fact that you have to do much of the work while under a microscope! Holy cow! LOL!! And this particular timepiece was just beautiful! Thanks so much for sharing your expertise and wonderment of all things, Time!

@scottperine8027 4 месяца назад

That was one of the most beautiful and historic watches that you’ve ever serviced,it was a pleasure to see it back to 1916 and running like the day it was made!

@sueg2658 Год назад

I found your channel from Adam Savage too. I have been binge watching and enjoying your channel. I’m very impressed with your skills rescuing and restoring these beautiful watches. Thank you.

Marshal; how do I send you a watch to service on your RU-vid channel? I love your videos! I can’t wait for the next one. Time is absolutely precious. Thank you for the best content!

@@Wristwatch_Revlval So I sent you a couple watches and transferred money to you. the watches were returned "unable to deliver" by USPS however the money has not been returned. Can you contact me to straiten this out?

Hey Pat, that was not me you were dealing with, it was a scammer. Be super vigilant about who you talk to online as there are many scammers out there!
