Marshall restores a vintage pocket watch from the 1890s that belongs to a friend of his. It's technically running, but could use a lot of help to look and run it's best. He uses some traditional (and some non-traditional) restoration methods on this one, to a great result!

I thought you might like to know- my 5yo dayghter loves to watch your videos as she goes to sleep. She frequently gets hypnagogic hallucinations as she falls to sleep, things like, there are spiders on her face biting her. This makes it hard for her to settle. Your content isngreat because she doesnt understand what you're talking about but your voice is soothing and pleasant, the images are repetitive and slow moving, it wont grab her attention too much and it lets her relax and escape from the spiders if she needs to by opening her eyes. She is interested in what you do, too, but she can let it wash over her. Thanks for what you do!

@IIREHII Месяц назад

A bygone era. I use to want to have work done (on anything) at a discounted price. Now It seems to take all my effort to have people just do the job they promised. And craftmanship? Not something I ever encounter today. IT is always about someone wanting the most money to do the lest work. Somehow over the years I developed a positive work ethic and do the best job I can. I am not sure WTH this came from but I like it.

@paulschumacker9901 2 месяца назад

Back in the day, people would go to a jeweler who would stock watch movements of different size and quality, and cases that were either gold filled or 10/14/18 carat gold. The jeweler would assemble the final product using the parts chosen by the customer. Frequently people would choose a cheaper movement and put it in a solid gold case (Don’t ask me why …). We now see lots of mediocre movements on eBay, as their solid gold cases were sold for the gold. But as you say, this has created a bountiful supply of cheap movements that many of us have used to learn elementary watch repair skills!

@blister762 2 месяца назад

Ive always had an affinity for pocket watches. My uncle was a logger and carried one and when I was young he would let me carry it. In the military we wore chronographs because we needed the precision. A lot. But in my post military career I worked with high voltages and precision robots and machinery so we never wore jewelry or watches. Our pagers were our time keepers. But I still have a love of pocket watches. In todays world of cellphone wrists watches that keep track of everything, the simplicity of a mechanical pocket watch draws me every time. An excellent video. Thank you.

Hi Marshall. Recently I had a problem with a Pocket Watch that had a Bezel and Bezel Ring that did not want to unscrew. I found an easy way of loosening the Bezel Ring. I took a large piece of Duct-Tape and stuck it to the face of my pocket watch and then I trimmed off the excess tape that hung below the Bezel Ring. Then, I used my 8-Ball to twist off the Bezel Ring and Bezel. Worked like a charm. No problem at all.

I would have replaced the main spring... it doesn't make any sense to completely work on a watch like this and leave it with an old substandard spring. Your penchant for nostalgia I believe gets in the way of doing top-notch repairs.

@brass427 2 месяца назад

Not surprising, though. He has referred to his past interest in classic cars and preserving originality is often an important aspect.

@jeffcotton2235 2 месяца назад

@@brass427 Well, to use that example, then leaving a worn out oil pump gears instead of replacing them would be about the equivalent. Since the main spring cannot be seen I don't know what the bugaboo is on his part about maintaining originality. Why didn't he ask the owner of the watch? The Nekkid Watchmaker would replace the spring. So would several other repair channels here too.
