Funny that you mention @wristwatchrevival videos… I too found his videos about four years ago and loved watching him rebuild and fix watches. In fact when I first saw your videos, I thought it was him on a new channel. You are doing a great job and its wonderful to see that you have dove into learning to do this as well.
Thank you. I was definitely interested in watch mechanics long before I ever found his channel, but he was certainly inspirational in my decision to take the plunge and really dive fully in to this hobby. He does such a great job producing his videos, I thought if he can do it, than I can do it too. I wish I could thank him personally, along with a few others that really pushed me 'over the edge' so to speak. I might have procrastinated forever otherwise.
Because of your video I bought an absolutely beautiful Dufonte watch that was just serviced by the seller. Thanks for showing us this brand it fit nicely in my collection.
This video really spoke to me. I’m very new to the hobby and have just disassembled a 1905 Elgin pocket watch. Based on how that turns out, I will probably spend a load of cash getting the right cleaning solution, tools, etc. But videos like these are extremely helpful. Thanks!
just binged all off C S spinners videos. went through a few others. But yours is my kind of channel. This is the first I've watched of yours I've watched but only the second channel I jumped into. Enjoying it a lot so far. Love the narration. Thanks for doing what you do.
Really handsome watch and movement. I enjoyed the history. You should be proud of your production, it is visually appealing and extremely informative. Thank you for the entertainment.
The dial looks beautiful with that sapphire blue color and i really like the brass movement almost looks like rose gold tone. Great work on the watch and video, Salute! 🤌
I enjoy finding vintage gems. Just received a Sellita watch ($50) from the early 1960's, with the Swiss Made Incabloc 17 jewel movement. The watch was advertised as New Old Stock...it looked like it had never left its original box. Works like a charm. Had it in my office for 10 minutes, admiring the perfect dial and crystal...when my teenage daughter saw the watch and said it was terrific...and asked if she could wear it. Bye bye watch.
I really appreciate that you go into a little more technical depth than I normally see from other channels. Those details really matter. And your little errors that you make are honest and are really informative. We all learn more from our mistakes than our successes
As a regular viewer of your videos, I have to say I LOVE your videos! These kinds of videos are always so relaxing and I'm glad we have a handful of great UA-camrs out there sharing their love of this hobby. I think it's great that you were inspired by Marshall over at Wristwatch Revival. I've watched his videos for a few years now and can agree that it's his videos and your are an inspiration to pickup the hobby. It's great getting to hear about the history and craftsmanship that goes into each timepiece. To that I say Cheers to you and Thank you so much for sharing!
I gotta say , I love this watch!! Really wish someone out there made watch case backs to show off these beautiful movements . Guys, I have had the pleasure of meeting Adam and buying this wonderful watch from him. His enthusiasm for his work is genuine and he is a truly nice human being..... And the watch is excellent and always draws comments when I wear it. Thanks Adam.
Pretty sweet! Something I've learned so far is that great watches have great stories. I think it would be pretty awesome to have a watch restored by you during your journey. What a story that would be.
I very much agree that stories can make a watch really special. I have a few watches that are worth a good amount of money, but the one's that mean the most to me, and are worth the most, are the ones that I have a story with. They may not be the most valuable (money wise), but they are absolutely the most valuable to me personally. I really thank you for your kind words. I myself am nothing special, but I really do thank you for such high praise. One day when I get a few things put in place perhaps I can do some commission work.
@@WeekendWatchRepair that's great! In the vid you mention possibly selling this one. I know it wasn't anything absolute, but if you ever do decide to sell a watch you've picked up to restore for content or whatever, I'd definitely be interested. Your channel is great, easy to follow and informative! 🤙
Watching a video on UA-cam and being mesmerised... Totally understand that! That's how I got into watch repair too! Nekkid watchmaker and others! I now have about 30 watches I've repaired and I love the learning curve!
All of the other watch repair channels that you mentioned, I'm subscribed to and watch their videos every time they post. Your video was just recommended to me by UA-cam and since those others don't post every day (unfortunately) I figured I'd give your video a watch, and I'll say this, you sir have earned a sub from me. Fantastic work and I really enjoyed the history lesson behind this unusual yet beautiful timepiece. Thank you so much for being another addition to my watch repair video addiction 😊.
@WeekendWatchRepair I have a Wakemann triple calendar triple register chronograph. Vintage from my dad heirloom. I have been quoted $500-$600 for a clean oil and adjust. Does that sound right to you?
That may be about right. I don’t exactly know what one would normally charge, but higher complications on your watch would require a somewhat higher service charge.
Thank you for another great video on a cool watch with a very nice movement. The way almost all the pieces fell into place just goes to show how much work went Into designing and producing this movement.
It turned out great, nice to rescue an old worn out watch, and it's good, Rolex used one of the FHF movements in the past, for Canadian market Oyster watches.
I like that you keep it real bro, and your good with it! Thanks for being a part of my routine. Maybe ill get the gull to try to do a watch, a cheap one hahaha. Love the channel
I love the dial designs of this era. Some of them seem silly now but many, including this one, are bold and beautiful. Like they were really giving designers free reign with creativity. I don’t feel that with most of today’s stuff.
This was a recommendation and I’ve never had an interest in watches! I watched from start to finish and was completely drawn in. Amazing attention to detail which I can appreciate a little as I build scale models. This is miles more intricate. Fantastic sir😀
I have been purchasing watch tools and i appreciate your advice. Next on the list is oils & grease. I was wondering if you allow that Locktite to cure before closing the watch. I know from past projects that during that cure time there is out-gassing and it may cause problems with gaskets corrosion.
Great job! Brought back pleasant memories of me servicing the same movement. I’d love to see you polishing, and using your home made tool, I think I’d like to do the same. Ta!
A brilliant combination of your skills. Video and photography are excellent. The complete display of all the elements of the disassembly and then the assembly is the icing on the cake. Including all the screw removal and installs is just so good, it explains a lot visually. The second element of the icing on the cake is your commentary. Including the history of the watch and then adding your comments about your own history is so good. It's pleasing that you take the time to mention other members of the watch community and the help that they have given you. You are doing the same for us as well. Others may not realise just how small the community is. Thank you
Another fantastic help in this space, a true master, is Chronoglide. Kalle runs a restoration shop and school in The Netherlands and livestreams weekly. I love your videos. Keep it up, it's a great journey!
I have watched everything he's done. I regretted not calling out his channel by name, but you are correct. He is exceptionally skilled, and his shop can produce incredible work. I definitely follow Chronoglide.
I like the balance between polished and brushed that you achieved on the case; very nice. It seems to me that vintage watches such as this one, have a certain air of elegance and style that many modern watches of equivalent value, completely lack. I thoroughly enjoyed your video, thank you.
I completely agree about vintage watches. They just have a look to them that you don't see in most modern pieces. I appreciate the comments about the case work. I don't really have any professional equipment for case refinishing/restoration, so I just tried my best with what I had. I'm glad you liked it.
What a video! What a clearance in lighting, explaining, showcasing! Incredible, you doing this "only" occasionally and on weekends at night! AMAZING stuff!
I wanted to add another comment. I set and watch your videos and wonder how someone can make all those small screws and gears ⚙️ and make them come together and make the movement work. It’s just amazing.
Amazing Video! I really appreciated seeing the movement from multiple angles during assembly, I love watchmaking videos and I think yours might be the best on UA-cam
Well, I don’t quite know how to respond to that other than to say thank you. I do try my best to produce the best quality video I can. I appreciate your kind words and thank you for watching.
I have learned the exact same way. I had a “women’s/kids” watch my dad gave me, took the back off, just knew I couldn’t handle it. Later a friend gave me a Helios/Precimax. I had found your videos, and Wristwatch Revival’s, and I Watch Repair channel’s videos. And I got that Helios going, so I did a Precimax of the same caliber. Never took a course but I’ve currently got a few watches going with minimal tools
Thanks. I think it turned out really well. That's what I love about working on these old watches. I don't have the budget to buy a lot of very expensive watches for projects. Some of these old models are really a bargain and have great movements & dials. I think that a lot of people don't feel it's worth the cost to restore them. If it's only about the cost to have someone do the work, they're probably right, but these watches are stunning and brining them back is a lot of fun for me.
Much like you, I started following Marshall at WR, took Lovick’s courses, found the Nekkid Watchmaker, and started down the rabbit hole. I’d like to compliment you, as your presentation is much like Marshall’s. Also, the footage you captured on lubricating the exit stone was the best I’d ever seen. Keep up the great work. I subscribed and will be waiting to see your next work my friend!!!
Thanks so much. And I'm sure you found out, just as I did, what a deep rabbit hole it is! While I'm not trying to copy WR, I would by lying if I said that he wasn't an inspiration to begin filming my own watches. A few people have said that the videos are similar, and while I'm not trying to copy him, it is somewhat difficult to be unique when filming watch repair. I try to stick to more of the technical side of things, and explain in detail what I'm doing. I think that makes my channel somewhat unique, at least compared to some of the others. I truly enjoy watching other channels, but I'm trying to do my own thing and set myself apart from the majority of other channels. I appreciate the kind words. I just got back from a week long work trip and began work on the next watch this evening.
Just came across your channel today. You really know your stuff, you've got great patter (something sorely lacking in other watch-repair channels) and your vids are very well done. Thanks for sharing!
I have yet to take Mike’s course, but I watch Marshal (Wristwatch Revival), Joe (Nekkid Watchmaker), and Mike Bolton (Retro Watches) all the time. And of course you too Adam.
Yes, the fontainmelon movement are indeed up there with some of the best movements that were available at that time, ETA quality and reliability and tbh the finish on them is almost Omega like, another very enjoyable video Adam keep up the good work and keep them coming. 👏🙏😉👌
Well said! I intentionally did not say the full name of the movement manufacturer out of fear of terribly mispronouncing it, haha! They are great movements, and this one was a joy to work on. Thanks so much for watching and leaving a comment.
Thts aye nice movement alright,I think your right up with the rest of the other watch guys on you tube I love the naked watch guy and many more so bravo 👏 to you thanks aye lot .I have 15 Seiko dive watches my favourite is the original first addition orange Seiko monster dive watch .Thanks man
I saw this video and started watching without looking at the channel. For easily 50% of it I thought you were the Wristwatch Revival guy's second channel.😂 Cool vid. I subscribed and maybe you will want to do one of my watches someday.😉
Great job, i watched a video on a Rolex Milgause (not sure of the correct spelling) it went through a Airplane crash,when he was finished it looked brand new.
god bless you i got 7 seikos 6139a and 6139b movement every time I got a problem with any of my waches i run straight to your assembly or deasembly of 6139 than I fix the issue spicially the second and the chronograph some times they not rest in place i just hold the bottom rest and line them on the spots ❤
that Elma demagnetiser is awesome i got to save up for that one the one i have is 27 years old from wen i started watchmaking !!! nice channel good voice !!

Glad it was helpful!
Same philosophy and modesty as Marshall. Great job!
That's quite a compliment. Thank you so much.
Nice refurbishment and repair, Yes those oldies certainly do come up nice .
Thank you. Seiko really made some good looking watches back then. They still do, but I'm partial to the old ones!
just binged all off C S spinners videos. went through a few others. But yours is my kind of channel. This is the first I've watched of yours I've watched but only the second channel I jumped into. Enjoying it a lot so far. Love the narration. Thanks for doing what you do.
Thanks so much.
For $45 looking at the workmanship in the movement and that beautiful blue on the dial, that is the steal of the century. Bravo for bringing it back 👍
Couldn't agree more!
Really handsome watch and movement. I enjoyed the history. You should be proud of your production, it is visually appealing and extremely informative. Thank you for the entertainment.
Thank you very much.
Indeed! Marshall Joe and Mark do great watch repair videos.. as do you ! All fascinating compelling and informative!
The dial looks beautiful with that sapphire blue color and i really like the brass movement almost looks like rose gold tone. Great work on the watch and video, Salute! 🤌
Thanks a bunch.
That dial is one of the most beautiful ones I have seen.
I agree, they really did a good job on that one. I'm glad it was still in good condition by the time I got it.
I enjoy finding vintage gems. Just received a Sellita watch ($50) from the early 1960's, with the Swiss Made Incabloc 17 jewel movement.

The little blue clip is called a Circlips
I'm always happy to learn something new, thank you!
Don't worry, video quality is great !
Thanks so much. I'm really trying to do my best on these videos.
Your videos are great too. I binged Marshall and ran out of videos so I looked for someone similar. You're both awesome.
Thanks so much. I'm trying hard to make detailed and thorough videos. I am really glad you are enjoying them.
I gotta say , I love this watch!! Really wish someone out there made watch case backs to show off these beautiful movements . Guys, I have had the pleasure of meeting Adam and buying this wonderful watch from him. His enthusiasm for his work is genuine and he is a truly nice human being..... And the watch is excellent and always draws comments when I wear it. Thanks Adam.
Thanks so much. I’m glad you’re enjoying the watch.
I really like your friendly soft narration.
I think i could sleep comfortably listening to it.
Glad you enjoy it!
Gosh, that's a beautiful watch and you did a fantastic job restoring it!
Thank you very much!
You explained that in explicit detail,well done ,👍
I bought a dufonte too.Thanx Adam great work
Thanks a bunch.
Thank you Adam, fantastic as usual.
Thanks so much.

very nice piece, love the date in blue text and numbers btw
Me too!

For a Lucian Picard that is a beautiful movement......awesome.

Beautiful dial, beautiful robust quality movement, beautiful case, beautifully restored to health 👍
Thank you. I’m glad you enjoyed the video.

Thank you very much!
A great video and such a wonderfully warm easy voice to listen to! Thankyou for all the effort you put in to this, you have me hooked. 👍

Glad you enjoyed it!
Nice watch.Good job.All the best
Thanks, you too!
I have been purchasing watch tools and i appreciate your advice. Next on the list is oils & grease. I was wondering if you allow that Locktite to cure before closing the watch. I know from past projects that during that cure time there is out-gassing and it may cause problems with gaskets corrosion.
Yes, I allow it to cure completely before closing the watch.
Thanks for your work, Adam! The quality of the video is amazing. I enjoy every video you've posted. Warm greetings from Ukraine!
Thank you very much! I appreciate you watching and leaving a comment.
I would totally wear that watch.
Cool restoration with a great looking movement. I really enjoyed learning new watch stuff. Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it
Excellent!!
Many thanks!
the watch came out great
Thanks so much.
That was an awesome video. That watch is beautiful. Love watching your videos and listening to you explain the parts and how they work. 👌
Thank you kindly!
Great job 👍

Thanks! Will do!
Very cool looking watch, surprised it was all stainless case. Great results!
Thanks so much. A lot of them are plated, but the fact that this one was an all stainless case was one of the reasons I bought the watch off of eBay.
Thanks
Thank you so much! I really appreciate it.
Good camera work. Excellent shot during balance jewel shock setting install.
Thanks so much.
Darned great for a newer watchmaker channel. I am very pleased with this video. Subbed.

I think so too.
Adam, consider some of the very small buckles from Tandy to increase the length of your normal-size watchbands.
I'll look in to that. Thank you!

Thanks so much. I absolutely love Seiko dive watches as well, but ironically I don't have any 'Monster' models. Hopefully that will change one day.

Great job, i watched a video on a Rolex Milgause (not sure of the correct spelling) it went through a Airplane crash,when he was finished it looked brand new.
Thanks. I'll try to find that video.

spicially the second and the chronograph some times they not rest in place i just hold the bottom rest and line them on the spots ❤
Glad you found them helpful. Thanks for the comment.
Very nice watch movement!
It really was, I agree.
that Elma demagnetiser is awesome i got to save up for that one the one i have is 27 years old from wen i started watchmaking !!! nice channel good voice !!
I used a very basic demagnetizer for the longest time. I wish I would’ve bought this sooner. I highly recommend getting one!
