Dude lays every step out so nicely that I bet a 5th grader could repair a watch with some supervision
Nah, he makes it look easy... but don't forget, the screws are small enough that you could lose one because it's stuck inside your nails...
Setting them back up to work correctly is harder than it looks here.
@@aserta Agree, yesterday i opened my first watch and things doesn't look big as in the videos! 😅😅
Definitely not lol
Watchmaker here also. Absolutely not. It's less about understanding the mechanism itself, which for a simple 3-hand watch aren't complicated; and more about developing the fine motor control and dexterity. It takes _many_ hours of practice and much patience to get to the point where you can competently work without worrying about losing or damaging things. This channel is however better than most in being clear and concise in both narration and work!
That being said, there are watches that even after 20+ years I hate working on. You haven't lived til you're faced with a vintage $30k triple-date moonphase chronograph that a client wants repaired, serviced and restored...
What makes these contents so interesting is the storytelling. Marshall first tells the story of the watch and its owner before he even begins to work on the piece. That's like character-building in a story and that's got all of us rooting for a good ending. That he doesn't even charge says a lot about him. Great job.
Viewer gets a working watch, WR gets a video+its revenue, win/win situation.
@@Tunkkisand we get relaxing entertainment. Win, win, win
Yeah, I don't even wear watches, nor do I own one. I just stumbled over this channel, and it's really nice to watch, ;)
@@RustyXXL Me Neither, never liked to wear watches when I was younger as opposed to a lot of my School Friends. Since watching about 5 or 6 of Marshall's videos. I'm actually tempted to buy one now. Certainly will have to be a low end watch to suit my current budget though.
@@georgemcmahon78 I have an extremely basic Casio watch that my father bought me on a family vacation to Greece (first and only time - thus far - that I've been outside my country) but the sentimental value is far higher. I usually don't wear watches because my skin is sensitive and having something wrapped around my arm can make me uncomfortable when I'm stressed... but I make an effort either way.
I mean this as the highest compliment. You're the Bob Ross of watch restoration and repair. So calm and peaceful and enjoyable content. I love watching your videos Sir.
@@rogiervdheide he's kind of the grandfather of video tutorials, i think it's a glorious title
@@rogiervdheideThe huge number of people that Admire Bob Ross, perhaps?
Have you seen some of the recent sale prices of his original works?@@rogiervdheide
@@rogiervdheide He was a great dude. Huge compliment.
@@rogiervdheide Why would being the Bob Ross of something be a negative??
Never thought I'd take the time to watch a video like this and I couldn't turn away. The craftsmanship is incredible and the tone of the video is so well done. Can't believe all that goes into these things and the level of knowledge required to service them.
You've managed to beautifullly capture my thougts/experience watching this video. So mesmerizing!
i'm not a watch guy. not even a little. but watching people be passionate about their hobbies, seeing all the love and care that goes into something i normally take for granted, is something that always fascinates me. i randomly clicked on this video in my recommended because it seemed interesting, but the love and enthusiasm in this video was absolutely infectous! an absolute joy to watch, especially around 25:45 or so when the train wheel bridge fell right into place. i have no idea how finnicky those normally are, but just in that reaction i could tell something special had happened. that kind of stuff makes me so happy to see.
i literally went to the comments to say this exactly at 24:45 and just wanna say ur a great dude
The title got you and now you are here
💯
sometimes people lies so much that they even dont know the stupid figurure theya re doing, they realy believe in their own dellisunional lies. "He Wore This Rolex Every Day for 53 Years".
So funny completely in the same boat! I have seen this same comment on this channel a lot
it's incredible how 54 minutes passed by and I didn't notice, it's hypnotizing how good your videos are, just plain calmness
Fuck I watched it to the end and didn't even realize how long the video was.
Damn I just realised that it was that long after finishing it
I read this comment before watching the video, and I thought you were overreacting but it seems like you were right all along.
Yes. This was fascinating
wht nobody is talking about is that hes now made this watch worthless by fixing it they should have sent it back to rolex
You are such a wonderful and selfless person Marshall the generosity you showed to this nice old man almost made me cry.
you do realize this video has 2 million views right?
The ad revenue more than pays for the service. The watch owner also is a Patron.
Nevertheless, he made the watch completely free of charge. Sure, he gets money from UA-cam, but the owner didn't have to pay anything, especially as he is a voluntary Patreon member
He got 2,4Mio views ... i think the "generosity" pays off quite well ... ^^
The level that this guy is working at a mechanic grade is second to none. Watch guys will always amaze me. I've been a professional heavy duty guy for a while and the complexity of watches is really impressive, great job sir.
For a watch that ticked well over 1.6 billion seconds during it’s 53 years of use,the wear and tear on the inside was absolutely minimal!. What a testament to craftsmanship. There’s something to be said about a ‘One and Done’ watch collection. The looseness of that Jubilee bracelet shows the love and use that the watch has had-with more use yet to come!. Enjoyed this video so much.
He only had to replace the crystal and the seals. Every other part was still good!
Them Swiss can only make watches run For Half A Century+!? Where's duh Quality Control?
@@joseph7105 you're joking, he's taking about, sapphire glass with is just lab grown sapphire, or plexiglass en that is plastic or just a lab grown crystal of some kind.
@@joseph7105 It's Rumored That Jedi knight Obi Wan Kenobi wore a Rolex & bequeathed it to his daughter, duh Princess Leia. Can anybody confirm & tell which Rolex model it was? Thanks.
Marshall, so excited to see this one. My father bought 2 of these while serving in Vietnam. The exact same dial, bezel, et Al. He kept one and sent one to his dad. My fathers was stolen in a burglary in 1973. His fathers was passed around to his brothers after his dad died.
My dad passed 2 years ago and my uncles presented me with his dads watch. It’s a beautiful and understated piece. Thank you for sharing this.
Whoa, what a story it carries! Thanks for sharing
I have wathced a few of these types of videos and there always seems to be an old vietnam war veteran that has bought the rolex. Why is that? did they have a store in vietnam that everyone just went to?
@@maxgronros6728 Soldiers purchased goods while deployed via the PX (post exchange) and among the many things they could order were Rolexes, which many did. Depending on model I think most paid between 100 and 300 USD. They're completely legitimate.
@@GlennWatsonHome Yes I saw that as well, the guy fell over when he was told it’s value.
Love the story. I bet that was the least surprising, but best gift you’ve ever received (same circumstances, it would have been for me).
I can't get over how you did this for free for this viewer. I mean, it's such an amazing story having this watch for decades and him not knowing where to get it serviced and what to pay. You're the best!!
2 million views. He WANTED to do it free. Stories aell
@@BGraves My thoughts exactly. Kids don't understand the world.
He offered to do it for free because he knew how much the video would be worth.
Usually the watch stuff goes over my head but he is really good at explaining this stuff to us casual viewers.
OK, be honest. How many of us rewatched at 11:57 and had a mini heart attack because it looked like that screw took off like a rocket? Love the content sir. Thanks for sharing your talent and pssion.
I seen that and went straight to the comments to see if anyone else seen, and would’ve said something! 😅
I do not know about that 11:57 but at 14.59 I believe I saw a clip of some sort go bye-bye see you later let's see if find that one. Someone else said it is so relaxing watching these videos and I absolutely agree I love watching them. But I did notice that spring clip thing at 14:59 go way never to be found again.
@@JustMM1 I noticed this too and was happy to see the spring clip in the upper right corner of the screen at 19:40; the display of cleaned parts.
I rewatched him scratch that wheel at 7:30 a few times.
Its like when an SMD component goes ping.
As a mechanic, carbon composite technician, I just want to say that even though my heart and passions are with cars. I've always had a deep fascination with watches. The design and engineering behind them is quite literally timeless. I think I may have a new hobby 😊
Why not, buy some cheap broken watches off Ebay and buy some tools and off you go! :)
So r u an auto/ diesel mechanic and a carbon composite "technician" (we just used to call it body work). Never met someone who calls themselves a mechanic but refers to themselves as a body work "technician"? Or do u fix composite working equipment (chopper guns, etc)?
@TrapperAaron automotive. Carbon composites was with Multimatic building the Ford GT chassis and Aston Martin Valkyrie. I've since moved on to do my own thing.
The mechanic side of me was thinking to fill the entire thing with automatic transmission fluid lmao.
Welcome to the club! Watch guys are often car guys and vice versa!
My 5513 submariner bought back in1978 has been on my wrist for 45 years,now getting a overhaul at Madrid Rolex....your videos are awe inspiring,im 69 but my next life i will be as a watchmaker thanks to you!!!
It's always enjoyable to watch you working on a Rolex. Apart from a few days when I've had it in for service, I've been wearing my Oyster Perpetual Datejust every day for 46 years since I bought it in mid 1977 and, so far, so good 😁
how old were you when you bought it?
@@Jonas1998Skov I was 28.
A Rolex used as it was intended, not drowned in diamonds, fantastic.
I don't mind the occasional _conservative_ use of diamonds on a fancy dress piece, but 99% of the "bling" out there is tacky as hell. Also, unless it came from the factory that way, all those added stones ruin the value of the watch as non-original modifications if you ever want to sell it. A Rolex (or other high end brand) will always hold or even appreciate in value if it's well-kept and original.
@@J.DeLaPoerWatches won’t hold value while there is normal demand since a new watch is always preferable. What we have seen in the market are manufacturers who raised prices and a bunch of new rich people trying to show everyone.
@@chaotus Well, 25+ years dealing vintage watches says you're wrong. Not _all_ watches obviously, I'm talking about the high end/luxury brands (and especially the popular model ranges). I'm obviously not saying if you buy a new Rolex and sell it the next day that you'll get 100% of your money back either -- at least not until the watch is a classic model 30 years from now. But new-bought luxury watches will hold the vast majority of their value (~80% or more) for many years as long as they're kept in good shape, then eventually start to appreciate. If you buy a *used or vintage* luxury watch though, you _will_ get 100% of your investment back at sale immediately -- or even more if you wait a few years. Luxury watches are almost a static market as far as value retention: they retain their value, and slowly appreciate after about 10 years OR if the model in question is particularly popular.
Watches that are already vintage, particularly Rolex, Patek, Omega et al, have also been steadily appreciating in value in the last couple decades to the point they often exceed the price of the current new models. Like anything else you have to know what you're doing, and I'm talking in general terms here. But there's an extremely large contingent of collectors out there who only want vintage. The used/vintage market in general has been in perpetual boom since the 1990s at least (partly because of the "premium pricing" constant-increase strategy of the major brands which makes buying used the best option for most regular people. That's exactly why the demand for new watches _isn't_ there for the majority of people who own luxury pieces. It's actually only a small fraction of the rich who keep the new market alive).
The only other consumer goods I can think of that will hold or appreciate in value like watches are firearms. That goes for lasting multiple lifetimes of use as long as they're take care of too. Pretty much every other major consumer item from appliances to cars to TVs to smartphones takes a massive hit the second it's bought and becomes obsolete and basically worthless within 5 years -- no matter how expensive it was or what brand made it. Guns and high end watches follow a very different trajectory of value.
Regardless of the product , imagine having something for 53 years that still works and looks almost new! 💯
I’ve got a Waltham pocket watch from 1904 and it’s in great shape. I have no idea how much it was used but for it to have floated around for 119 years and be near perfect is impressive.
I've dreamed of owning a Rolex for as long as I can remember. Watching this video was almost a spiritual experience - I was in awe on many levels!
Nice to see you do this for Rodney. Shows how craftsmanship is something that is still not forgotten.
I would just like to point out how amazing the commentary is. I know that the voice over is recorded after to narrative the job, but sometimes I catch my self second guessing with how you are able to react so realistically to what is happening that it sounds live at some points. Absolutely amazing, this is why you have the best watch servicing channel on youtube. A+ entertainment that keeps us coming back
honestly, he and jerryrigeverything. at first, i thought the narration was done live. had no clue it was done after the recording, until i saw some comment mentioning it
if I am correct, Marshall does commentary professionally
Marshall Sutcliffe has been a Magic: The Gathering commentator for over a decade, plus has hosted a podcast since 2009. So is very comfortable with commentary.
Agreed on the commentary. Good job
Great to see a watch repaired from an older gentleman who's still with us. The stories of an elder's time on this Earth coming to end and a broken watch coming into the hands of an heir are always sweet, in that they remind us of the bonds we share through our possessions. But it's a breath of fresh air to see someone who's still around and kicking getting their Ol' Reliable fixed up a tad. :)
Dude, So nice of you to do this for gratitude we could all use a bit more of this in out lives.
I can't tell you how glad I am to have found this content. I am a locksmith and thought I dealt with small parts. My hats off to you sir and now I want to restore watches! How beautiful are these watch parts 😍. Thank you sir for this!
I love this show. Thank you, Marshall !! The incredible history behind the watch and its restoration process is a fantastic combination.
You make this look so easy. With the magnified view, I have remind myself how tiny, precise and delicate the parts are and what steady and practiced hands you need to work with them. Bravo and thanks for sharing this fascinating hobby/occupation.
You lose the sense of scale after a while... Then his fingers come into the shot :O
Marshall gets paid quite well🎉🎉. He's able to not just put a Rolex watch with a human history on his show but also to display his incredible talent so bonuses all around. Marshall gets to mention his generosity, the owner can have a great time-piece looked after ,, and the viewer gets to see a wonderfull talent and well put together informative show 😊😊😊
It's so relaxing to watch you service these intricate machines and explaining the beauty of their design makes it so great to listen to!
Your description of the yoke spring pinging off and landing somewhere far off in the room reminded me of someone I knew years ago. A long time ago I worked in a large department store and I became friends with the manager of the watch department, and he described his work area as "the little bench", that is, his regular work bench where he did his repairs, and "the big bench" which was anywhere else in the entire department where something might land if it fell off the "little bench." 😂
Man really had to post right before I was going to go to bed 😭
Lost an hour of sleep to watch this and I'm perfectly okay with it
nice to see someone who takes such enormous joy and pride in doing something nice for someone else ...
I just watched almost an hour of someone just cleaning/restoring a watch....worth very second! Thank you, please keep up the great work!
Rolex? ✅ Worn every day for 53 years? ✅✅✅ Awesome
Man, it's Art how he takes this apart and lays it out so beautifully. And putting it all back together, making it work as it should, damn, maaad respet for him and people like him
Can you imagine designing and machining all of this? Incredible feat of engineering vision.
What an enjoyable experience!
I've only recently become an avid watch collector, but my taste (and budget) runs towards more affordable quartz watches, at least for now.
Seeing the care and attention to detail that goes into servicing even a relatively simple mechanical watch helps me understand the cost of (and need for) routine servicing.
Seeing Rodney's watch transformed into like-new condition was surprisingly touching, and I hope it gives him many more years of service.
Consider me subscribed!
You’re my hero, Sir. Thank you for taking the time to put this video together. Enjoyed every minute of it.
Always very satisfying watching how you pour all those tender loving care into those watches that you are working on. Pure joy💖
I don't have any of these fascinating stories below Marshall but I would just like to say how much I really enjoy your videos. Your enthusiasm is so infectious, as I have said many times before but the whole journey is just so enjoyable. I am sitting watching while enjoying a really nice old malt whisky and basking in your greatness. Thank you, Marshall.
Thanks David, I appreciate you coming along for the journey with me :)
what an amazing surprise, watching and hearing you narrate MTG and the all of the sudden came with you being a watch restorer. Amazing work Marshall
What a wonderful journey! I was completely attentive and marveled at every step to take out, clean, oil and put back in or rerplace every small piece of this watch! I have a love of small hand tools as I enjoy simple jewelry repair but I had no idea until now how small and important every little piece is to running a fine watch like this gorgeous Rolex. Thank you for this wonderful tutorial! Your very calm, clear and nicely explanatory manner of the step-by-step work you did is highly appreciated and highly commendable! A true work of love!
I love your quality content, i wish more creators would use commentary to such high degree like you, makes time flow so fast.
So therapeutic watching Marshall do his thing another great job.
This gentleman makes it look so easy and it’s very melodic listening to him discuss the history and the process of servicing these watches. Amazing process.
I’ve tinkered with old watches in the past unaware of the tools available to me. They don’t sell a tool for shaky hands and patience I’m guessing though. It’s a real pleasure to watch you do your thing. One can really tell how much you truly love doing it. Bravo.
Both Rodney and I are proud of you on this beautiful service video. The watch looks gorgeous while the timegrapher proves a job well done.
This is a clear example of having a passion for your job as it's the intense enthusiasm and excitement for what you do. It can be the difference between doing it and getting done well. Being excited about your Mondays the way many people are only thrilled about Fridays, it can be the difference between enjoying your job and struggling with it. Thanks so much for sharing your craftsmanship with the world!
I found this channel recently and i love it. Just wanna say great work and thank you for taking care of Rodney and restoring this beautiful watch. You’re a good man and restoring history one piece at a time.
You can really sense the passion he has his hobby. Beautiful work
Love watching the close ups where you can see all the gears turning. Watches are truly a precision instrument.
People have no clue what a good video tech Marshall is.....getting lighting and focusing correct at these minute distances.....NOT easy at all. He makes it look so easy so that's how we know he's goooooooooooooooooooood. 😳
You often forget how small the pieces he's working on are because it's so well filmed.
Can I say as a subscriber for about a year .....while you are absolutely fantastic at watch repair and your videos are just so well done ..... can I just thank you for being more than a watch repair channel for me ..... I'm working in Oregon but I live in New Jersey ....and seeing a new video is like Christmas for me as while I miss my wife and kids while I'm gone ( 8 weeks out 1 week home ) having your channel and videos is like having a piece of home with me .... this channel is my anti depressant/ anxiety medicine and I truly thank you from the bottom of my heart .
Ah thanks for saying so Michael, hang in there!
There are not enough words in the dictionary that could in any way describe the admiration I have for your skill, storytelling and patience. One of the best restoration videos I have had the pleasure of viewing.
I'm months late to this video, but these are my absolute favourite kinds of watches. The patina, the simple silver and cream colour combinations, just...magnificent.
It's wonderful to observe a dedicated an highly skilled craftsmen at work. His enthusiasm is infectious. Alas I didn't understand very much, but it made my day to know that craftsmen still exist in a world of printed circuits.
Please keep the incredible work coming in Marshall. There's so many people who need your videos.
I hope there are some therapists out there paying attention........
I’ll say it again your videos are a way to get rid of stress and get to enjoy seeing you fix the watches. Bravo!
I have no idea why this video popped up in my recommended list, but it was a wonderful thing to see. What a masterful skillset you have! Watch-makers and repairmen are truly amazing to see in action.
This was a fantastic revival of a classic watch. I hope this watch is passed down and is still running 50 years from now after the love you put into it.
Love the before and afters at the end and dwelling a little longer on the finished watch, really gives us the chance to appreciate your great work and these incredible watches. Thank you!
Hey Marshall. You are great. Your voice, your timbre, already show you are a nice person and a professional working so meticulously. God Bless you.
Beautiful work, attention to detail, and crystal clear narration. Bravo. 💚♥️🎅🏻
The passion is just amazing! I'm not at all a watch enthusiast, but I can appreciate a beautiful watch and an enthusiastic person willing to bring something back to life specially when you get to know the story.
It's crazy how many little parts you can find inside a watch, and the amount of tools you need to do everything in such and elegant and soothing way.
Incredible job!
You make it look so easy, which actually means it’s not! So satisfying to watch you go through this process so effortlessly, also nice to see how robust the Rolex caliber is. 👌🏼
This channel is my new meditation. The enthusiasm expressed by this guy is near joyful and I could listen to him explain the history of toenail fungus in the middle ages. A real find!
What a fantastic job you've done taking us all on an amazing journey of watching this beautiful timepiece go back in time to its immaculate original condition!
Perfect "timing" Marshall. Always great to get an alert for a new video.
Curse you! Your videos popped up at just the right time in my hobby hyper-fixation cycle and now I have 8 watches on the way and a whole bunch of new tools on my work bench that weren't there last week! I absolutely love your videos. They're super informative and a great way to kill some time. Thank you for making watchmaking interesting!
I love to hear it! Good luck with your watchmaking journey!
I hood you realize the positive impact you are leaving on the world. All these people watching your videos with fresh curiosity, enjoyment, and peace. Most of us have crazy daily lives, stress, worries.. it’s so nice to spend time watching you work on these amazing little machines.. thank you ❤
I love watching these videos. No matter my mood, or level of anxiety, watching Marshall work and listening to his story telling always mellows me out and prepares me for a good nights sleep. 👍
The explanations for every step in all of your videos plus the story telling makes these videos such a peaceful and relaxing experience to watch. A wonderful hour to disconnect from stressful times
yea a lot of vids you think well that was 30 mins i wont get back but EVERY video Marshall puts out the time flys carrying away stress and at the end it is always "wow that was an hour"
Fantastic job. I bet he was thrilled. What a wonderful gift to someone and we get to enjoy the amazing work done. That’s good for another 50 years!
Your videos are so fricking amazing. The level of attention to detail is amazing. As is the quality of your restoration. Wishing you all the best. Will continue enjoying your content!.😊
What doesn’t go unnoticed is your watch repairing abilities, but what I do think goes unnoticed is your filming and editing abilities. I mean the different types of macro lenses, the lighting, the editing. That almost takes just as much work as the repair itself. Well done my friend!
I love how you repeat explanations of the steps and facts every video. It really makes me remember everything and understand what's going on. Great job!
When i discovered the channel a while back I was afraid it would get repetitive, but it's the total opposit. Every video is a new lesson on how watches work and I love the feeling of being able to name something before he does. It's always a good day when Marshall uploads.
Thank you for being a positive force on the community! Love that your helping the owner. And we get a great video!
I am impressed by this watchman. I rarely watches being serviced. I always watch this guy all the way through. He comes acrossed as a pleasant person!
I just found your channel today. I'm most of the way through a pot of coffee, binge watching your videos. Brilliant stuff... thanks for sharing your talent with us.
I am totally in awe of your ability to work with these watches. I've worked with small electronics, but nothing like you do. Amazing. Simply amazing. I couldn't believe the level of disassembly that you did - ALL of it. Wow. Many thanks.
Great job. More than anything is your love for what you have accomplished. Congrats!
When I find myself all wound up after a long frustrating day I know of no better way to unwind than to watch one of your videos. For an hour or so I can sit back and watch and listen (to a subject I know nothing about) and all my cares melt away. Thank you SO much!
Good use of puns
Man, wth
I know nothing about watches but
Here I am at the end of the video with a smile on my face, never knew I could enjoy a 30+ mins video about some guy watch repair process
I
NEED
MORE
Awesome that Marshall did this for the guy, and for us. That is a beaut! Love that second hand. Also, WOW, Marshall has all the cool tools. This was a really fun revival.
Amazing patience as usual and the joy you get from doing it, is contagious...Good health to you and yours...
The artistry on display in this watch is absolutely beautiful and a feast for the eyes.
Compliments to the chef.
First time I ever watched anything like this. The story got my attention and I enjoyed the whole video. Thank you.
It's been so great to watch the improvements in skill, tools, editing, and videography over time on this channel.
Always nice to watch these videos!
I bet this man really appreciated the time you put into this watch. He must feel great to put it back on his wrist Bravo!
It simply amazes me how many parts there are to a mechanical watch. They are simply genius in design, manufacture and assembly. I can’t even imagine how these parts are even made, and would love to see a video of that process.
When I clicked on this video I was actually planning on fast forwarding much of it just to see the finished work. I found myself mesmerized watching the process and listening to the narration. Very interesting and entertaining. Thank you
I am so impressed with so many things about you. The fact that you help this man out is a fine example to all and I deeply appreciate your talent. Thank you for being an example.
What a gorgeous watch! 😍
I'd wear that any day, every day!
Another great journey, Marshall! And thanks to Rodney for sharing his prized posession. 👍
What an incredible video. I’m a watch guy but certainly not a technician. You really know your business. So many components. Thanks for sharing.
Awesome restoration man. Love the way you walk us through exactly what you're doing!
I’d love to see an interview of Rodney talking about his watch and how he reacted when he received it !
Hey Marshall! Your channel is phenomenal. I’m quite familiar with precision machinery having been a professional Euro/exotic automotive technician for 26 years. Watching you work is a pleasure. You are truly talented and highly skilled. I also love your narration . Keep up the beautiful work, I can’t wait to see what’s next!
Sir I'm loving these videos, detailed, constant, and yet it honestly knocked me out.😂 love them keep em up.
First time i watched a watch taking good care this long. Thank you for sharing your love for watches.
Another wonderful video and story behind the watch. Happy to see the watch will be reunited and working with its owner. Great job again! 👏
First of all, I hope that you read my message, Marshall. In all honesty, your watchmaking channel is the best I've viewed on UA-cam. You take the time to show each aspect of cleaning and repairing these watches. Your descriptions and explanations have fostered within me a strong desire to take up this hobby myself! It's apparent that you're a natural teacher and mentor. I look forward to each of your videos and demonstrations.....particularly regarding Rolex watches! Thank you so very much for posting your videos! Keep up the EXCELLENT work, my friend!
I do believe this is the first time I have ever watched a watch servicing video. Glad it was you and Rodney.
Stunning work, as ever, Marshall. You're fantastic.
