    Beautiful and interesting video. It looks like a highly skilled movie director and cinematographer worked on it and the time machine is a delightful touch of wit and imagination. It's very nice to see this marvelous watch looking so good and working so well. 😊

    Just another masterful restoration. The attention to detail is just amazing. I notice also all the work making the video. The quality, the shots, the editing. I’ll be honest, of all the channels I’m subscribed to, yours is the one I most look forward to seeing new content.

    With great possibility "kühn" is not a surname. I am german and know only "kuhn" as surname. So it should be used as an adjective what you translated as heroic. My father was probably of the same age AS the Guy who won that watch. And my father became a Luftwaffe Pilot in 1942 and fought on the eastern Front. Took part in the 3rd battle for charkiv and later the battle of kursk. Then with the allied landings in italy he was transferred to this Theater of war, giving him the pleasure of learning a new language but that's another Story.

    I lived in Germany three separate times. I absolutely loved it. I started to learn the truth about WWII, the Wehrmacht and Luftwaffe. It warms my heart to see historical items that survived WWII.
    Thank you for this wonderful video and reminder of the sacrifices that were made.

    Also ich muss mich hier mit einem längeren Kommentar zurückmelden.
    1. Das muss ja eine unglaublich seltene Uhr, bis hin zum Einzelstück, sein. Einfach ein wahnsinnig schönes Stück und passend für deine Sammlung.
    2. Die Benutzung der Werkzeuge ist und bleibt ein Fest. Mein Papa freut sich jedes Mal, wenn er das sieht haha. Du weißt und kennst ja wirklich alles.
    3. Respekt, dass du das Zifferblatt so bearbeitet hast. Sowas kann schnell in die Hose gehen und dann ist es gleich ganz vorbei. Hier ist es echt super geworden.
    4. Einfach immer noch unglaublich und traurig zugleich, dass du nicht von Elma gesponsert wirst 😉
    5. Der Ganglauf für eine Uhr von 1942 ist ja unglaublich! Plus zwei Sekunden, starke Amplitude und halt einfach null komma null ms Abfallfehler- wie machst du das?! 😂
    Naja, ich wünsche dir und allen anderen hier eine angenehme und schöne Restwoche 🙋🏼‍♂️

    Even though I understand the urge of restoring a case to a more nice state, I always feel a bit sad to see the traces of history being wiped out. The engraving 'kühn' was kind of impressive. How did the watch came in your posession?

      the straps aren’t even part of the watch, that’s like watching someone restore a house and complain about what flowers they chose for the garden, it’s easily replaceable by almost anyone with very little skill
