This is why your channel has grown. Watch and Learn has proved to be an excellent business decision for you, despite being less about your store than your other videos.
I’ve owned diver’s watches for over 50 years. My understanding of a time elapse bezel is that you set the pointer to the end point of the time you want to measure. In other words, if you have 10 minutes of air left, you set the pointer to 10 minutes ahead of the current position of the minute hand. That way you can watch the time count down to zero. It works for cooking and stuff like that too.
I am neither a collector nor am I a watch fanatic by any means, but I do like to know more about the gadgets and tools I own. Thank you for this video in particular, but also for the series in general Just one tip though, if you can arrange the playlist in reverse chronological order (oldest first) then it would make watching through it with Autoplay slightly more pleasant :)
Lots of information here, and it was only the first one. A few things I had never heard of, like not force changing the day/date between 9PM and 3AM, and after pausing the video and taking just a second to think about it, it made perfect sense. I especially liked the way the presentation was delivered, in an orderly fashion and without a bunch of jumping from one subject, on to the next, and somewhere along the line back to the first. I was originally going to cherry pick the episodes I thought I could get the most out of, but I think now I'll just watch them all.
I'm at the beginning my watch journey, and this serie of educational video is right on point for me. Already learnt a lot of thing in this first one. Thanks a lot for that time spent. One theme that would be great (and I don't think you treated the subject yet), is presenting the main watch styles/families. Meaning, what is a dress watch, a field watch, a dive one etc... with precisions about the requirements needed to fit in each category. It perhaps will sound obvious to many watch aficionados, but for a beginner like me, it would be a great light in that jungle.
When I set the time and day/date, I usually advance the time to the 6 o'clock position, then set the day/date to the day before the day/date I am setting to. I then advance the time past midnight and then to the correct time which avoids the do not set between 9 and 3 issue. Also, something a machinist taught me is that when working with fine threads such as on a screw down crown, before screwing the crown down I turn it counterclockwise while pressing in until I feel a click and then screw it down clockwise from that point. That way you know you are engaging the threads at the begining and avoid damaging threads which some of us heavy-handed types sometimes do.
Appreciate the changing date info, I would of never guess that was an issue... just bought an Orient Flight from you guys and I'm loving it, thanks for the great service.
Thank you so much for this you've really put my mind at rest! I just bought my first 'proper' watch and I was getting myself in a tiz about the date change danger zone, now you've explained it, it makes a lot of sense and I just wish the manufacturer had included a little more detail in their manual about the safe method to change the date.
I'm relatively new to watch collecting, most of the stuff I knew already but the reverse/date thing was very interesting! I had no idea. The video was worth watching and I will be waiting for #2
Thanks Mark, I appreciate the professional presentation of your videos. The watches are really the stars of your videos and the presenter's personality doesn't get in the way.
Marc, thanks for a great series. Can you do a video about watch size? Why modern watches are bigger, is it a fad, is there room for small and big watches, what size will suit which person?
I watched your video on how to fix the chapter ring on a SKX. Then another and said let's start from lesson 1. Great content and informative. Thank you.
Like the webshop, very affordable watches and good taste.did not see the Orient brand in the shops here for a long time. Apparently the Vollmer and Messerschmitt watches are only available on the webshops here. I like very much the Tissot Lelocle watch and the Michel Herbelin New Port collection. We have citizen Q&Q but I don't know about the quality.Prices are very sharp on the Longisland website.
30 years wearing watches and i never knew that changing date between 9pm and 3am could damage the mechanism. i wonder how many watches i've broken because of that.
If you have a watch that is running, which you had set previously, you'll know. If your watch has a 24hour-complication, that would be another method. If neither of those above are your case, you'll have to manually cycle through by adjusting the time on a watch to see if the date changes when passing 12. if it changes, you've just passed midnight and entered AM. If it didn't, you have entered PM. If your watch doesn't have a date feature of some sort at all, none of the above should apply to you.
The day & date information alone makes this video a must, for any new or seasoned watch owner that wants to avoid the cost of repairing one of their favorite time pieces, this could save you a lot of money. ⌚⌚⌚⌚⌚ five watch star's thanks for sharing your knowledge Mark.👏👍
Without considering parallax error in the readings, according to the caliper, the case diameter without crown of the Laco, should be 42.75 +/- 0.05 mm :-) Very informative video! Thank you for sharing.
Marc, really good job on the video. For the novice, it is really good information that otherwise you end up picking up on the fly over time. Me personally, I use digital calipers with metal legs because of my training. I totally agree that with watches you should use plastic ones. Keep up the good work and keep going in this direction when you can. It is appreciated.
Nice video for all the starters! One small correction on terminology though: if you occasionally turn the dive bezel, you're not shortening the dive, you actually lengthening it! What shortens is the remaining time. So if you know that you have air worth of 30 minutes dive in general, at any given time during dive you will shorten remaining time and it is safer to go back up earlier rather than later. For people who do not know what crown is and what's a uni-directional bezel is that small detail might be a bit confusing, I think:) Keep up good work and thanks!
Maybe I'm underestimating the average viewer, but to me it was pretty obvious that he was referring to the total dive time, not elapsed time. So you are both saying the same thing.
dtosky may be. May be I got it not exactly right. But as Marc says he's surprised how many people mess uni- with bi-, which seems obvious right? If you ever encountered users of anything in numbers, you should know how many people get so many things wrong. While yourself would get it right even with actual mistakes automatically, because you have the concept on your mind, you have the right idea. And like that old wrod pulzze whit mesesd lerttes yuor mnid hleps you at a glnace, you need to pay attention to see the trick;)
dtosky on a second thought, you write "total dive time", but bezel is about remaining time, not total. Total is how much you spend under water, bezel instead says how much time remains and this is relative time. So you see, terminology is playing tricks...
Mark, Thanks for your commitment to educate your viewers. I have a topic that I would imagine is quite broad; I would like to know more about watch movements. Often, I hear TGV or Fed say..."it has a ETA blah, blah, blah that is quite robust"...robust compared to what? If the issue of movements is too intricate, can you tell us where to go online for more information? Thanks.
Thanks a lot for this great informative Video. I've learned a lot, especially the date/day configuration. Very well spoken, clear and well understandable.
Good idea for a video series. I'm surprised you didn't go into crystals with their various strengths and weaknesses. I think that would be a great topic to cover since many newbies haven't heard the term crystal and confuse it with "jewels". Then when they hear "sapphire crystal," they get even more confused.
Just to be clear, i cant change the date just when the hands are at 9-3, or i really cant change it when jts 9pm to 3am realtime? For example its, its currently 10pm realtime and i want to change the date, can i just move the hands at say 6:30 and change the date, then change the time back to 10pm?
Hey Mark, maybe you could do videos based on the varieties of different bezels, crowns, case shapes, hands, movements, complications, bracelets and or band closure systems. You have tons of watches that could be lined up so we could see all the variations of the same part or the lack of a part. That way you can methodically go through each part of the watch. Personally, I'd like to know the names of different crowns like the onion crown or the... Well idk what the others are called really lol. Also hand shapes have particular names that would be cool to know. Just a thought, thanks for the videos!
Pls do a review on the types of crystals and the ways to check the saphire. Also pls do some reviews on the movements like ETA variants and Powermatic 80 etc.
Thank you for an interesting presentation. Although I knew, as a novice, some of these background facts I still really found this video useful. I am definitely going to buy one of the plastic callipers! More importantly, I intend to view the other videos in the series.
Very helpful video! But can you provide more information about back-hacking? Is it generally safe to set the time counterclockwise, or would it cause damage? Thank you very much, greetings from Italy.
You need a thin fork bracelet tool, you need to get between the lug and bar, and push down/pull. The Seiko bars have no shoulders so its a bit more difficult.
just a quick question, If you can't manually wind an automatic watch when desired, what do you do when the mainspring loosens completely? Do you just have to shake it like a lunatic or what?
I have heard that the other reason for a screw-down crown is that even in water resistant watch, the stem is usually the weak link for water sealing, and since the crown itself seals to the case with a screw down, the stem seal is no longer a factor. Is that true?
Off topic question: Would you do a video about storing automatic watches? I heard I need a winding box while others just say to lay the watch flat. Thanks!
Long Island Watch Thank you Sir. If you look me up on Facebook my profile picture of me is with him when he did a book signing at the Library of Philadelphia. I am a huge Alton Brown fan. Also he is a big watch enthusiast.
My watch gains seconds over time so how can I make sure my watch is on time. Also my manual says to bring the time back before then bring it ahead to where you want it to be
I had a lapse a month ago and broke my skx007 day/date by changing at midnight accidentally. Crown does nothing at first click now but date does still tick over. :-( Could any watch repair place replace the plastic gear or should I send it to $eiko?
Great job man! I'm planning to buy a watch under 600 usd. I'm confused between two brands Victorinox and Certina. Which one would you recommend? or is there any good brand in that price range
nice video definitely a good idea to explain stuff like this really helps guys like my a lot because I'm really new to this looking foreword to the next one
Hi mark, love these watch and learn videos, I'm new to analogue watches, but I'm interested in buying a seiko skx009j1. You have probably been asked this a hundred times, and for that I apologise, but what do you do when a automatic watch stops working? Is there anything you can do or does it have to go back to the jewellers? Thanks Nick.
It's really weird to me that one has to google for case thickness. It's a super important dimension manufactures tend not to put in their websites. Any idea why?
We try to put that info into as many listings as possible. I think most of the public doesn't care, but I do know that watch aficionados care a great deal.
Long Island Watch Yes, that is true of the newer models. In the 1980's and 1990's Casio used resin covered metal cases and screw backs on many of their G shocks (DW-5000, MRG-1, etc). I own a few both older and newer:)
Could you dispel a myth? I've heard that older - 1920s/''30s/'40s watches were supposed to be wound with a back and forth motion rather than unidirectionally. Is that true for any movement?
I have never heard that. I couldn't imagine it matters. When you turn back, you are disengaged from the spring. I don't like to turn backwards since its against the way the crown is threaded to the stem, but that's quite minor.
This is why your channel has grown. Watch and Learn has proved to be an excellent business decision for you, despite being less about your store than your other videos.

I really like this series! Great detail for noobs like me! Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience!
Not only is this series amazingly useful and informative, this is great business too
I've always been fascinated by watches but never really got in them in depth but now that I have it's great to see a videos that can change that
Thanks.
I just started your videos. I’ve learned a lot from you! Thank you so much for your work and time sharing your knowledge and experience!
I love how the camera quality is so good it shows every detail

I just bought my 1st Seiki skx007j1 from you guys and I'm thrilled. You guys RAWK!!
Fantastic idea for a series, really interesting and informative for me. Look forward to the rest of the series. A big thanks from over the pond.
A big "you're welcome!"
Thanks Mark, I appreciate the professional presentation of your videos. The watches are really the stars of your videos and the presenter's personality doesn't get in the way.
Very informative as usual. I also like my plastic vernier caliper - have had it for years - safe from scratching and electrical contact.
True!
Marc, thanks for a great series. Can you do a video about watch size? Why modern watches are bigger, is it a fad, is there room for small and big watches, what size will suit which person?

A critical time to change the date? that explains a lot. (I have so many broken watches) and they do break around the time I change the date.
30 years wearing watches and i never knew that changing date between 9pm and 3am could damage the mechanism. i wonder how many watches i've broken because of that.
Hope you've learned many more new things about watches! They're great tools that need some attention to detail to maintain it for many years of use.
Orient is between 9pm and 4am. I read that in the manual haha, hardly anyone bothers to read them anymore which is a shame.
I'm sorry if I sound stupid, but how do I know if the watch is in AM or PM now?
If you have a watch that is running, which you had set previously, you'll know. If your watch has a 24hour-complication, that would be another method. If neither of those above are your case, you'll have to manually cycle through by adjusting the time on a watch to see if the date changes when passing 12. if it changes, you've just passed midnight and entered AM.

Hi. Man. Ok
Hi Mark,
Fellow long islander haha.
Thanks for these videos. Really appreciate you taking the time to make these vids!
Best,

Very helpful information about the day changing . Thanks , Mark .
Excellent - I am looking forward to watching the rest of the series!
Thanks for checking it out! You will love it.
The day & date information alone makes this video a must, for any new or seasoned watch owner that wants to avoid the cost of repairing one of their favorite time pieces, this could save you a lot of money. ⌚⌚⌚⌚⌚ five watch star's thanks for sharing your knowledge Mark.👏👍
Great videos, love the lesson about the day/date reference of not changing between 9 pm - 3 am! Thanks!
Great! WE did a hole other video devoted solely to it.
I got what I would consider my first big watch, a citizen eco-drive and I want to get into watches and this video is really fantastic, and so helpful
Great to know this information. This is very informative and I have learned a lot. Thank you!
Just started watching your Watch and Learn videos, very helpful as I have just discovered a liking for Horology and watch fixing, cheers. :)
I have the SKX009. When adjusting the time, is it ok to move the hands of the watch counterclockwise? Or will that damage the movement?
Avoid it. Especially between the times when the day and date changes
Thanks, Vanessa. Love you.
Could you do a video on changing links on a steel bracelet?
Such a great series of videos. Thank you so much for taking the time to do this!
Thanks for watching.
very good video very informative please keep these video a regular part.
Great idea for video, even simple things like the date change are invaluable
Without considering parallax error in the readings, according to the caliper, the case diameter without crown of the Laco, should be 42.75 +/- 0.05 mm :-) Very informative video! Thank you for sharing.
Great info Marc!
Hi Mark, Thanks for these tutorials; I have learnt a lot!
Great video for us newbies! I just purchased an Orient Esteem from you and can't wait for it to come in! Keep doing what you do.
Thanks!
Marc, really good job on the video. For the novice, it is really good information that otherwise you end up picking up on the fly over time.

Glad you enjoyed.
Thanks a lot for this great informative Video. I've learned a lot, especially the date/day configuration. Very well spoken, clear and well understandable.
Thanks for checking it out!
Can back hacking damage the movement? Very informative video.
The consensus on this one is "no", it does not damage the movement.
Good idea for a video series. I'm surprised you didn't go into crystals with their various strengths and weaknesses. I think that would be a great topic to cover since many newbies haven't heard the term crystal and confuse it with "jewels". Then when they hear "sapphire crystal," they get even more confused.
Great idea! Putting it in the WnL queue.
Great idea, Marc! I missed it so far but I'm going to watch the other episodes right away! :)
very helpful in changing the day date for newbs watch owners
I ve seen in some watches you can change the date also by moving the hands back and forth between 12 and 9. Is that bad for the watch?
Just to be clear, i cant change the date just when the hands are at 9-3, or i really cant change it when jts 9pm to 3am realtime? For example its, its currently 10pm realtime and i want to change the date, can i just move the hands at say 6:30 and change the date, then change the time back to 10pm?
Really PM is the issue. If its between 9am and 3am, do whatever you want!
Hey Mark, maybe you could do videos based on the varieties of different bezels, crowns, case shapes, hands, movements, complications, bracelets and or band closure systems. You have tons of watches that could be lined up so we could see all the variations of the same part or the lack of a part. That way you can methodically go through each part of the watch.
Personally, I'd like to know the names of different crowns like the onion crown or the... Well idk what the others are called really lol. Also hand shapes have particular names that would be cool to know.

Pls do a review on the types of crystals and the ways to check the saphire. Also pls do some reviews on the movements like ETA variants and Powermatic 80 etc.
Got it.
Thank you for an interesting presentation. Although I knew, as a novice, some of these background facts I still really found this video useful. I am definitely going to buy one of the plastic callipers! More importantly, I intend to view the other videos in the series.
Very helpful video! But can you provide more information about back-hacking? Is it generally safe to set the time counterclockwise, or would it cause damage? Thank you very much, greetings from Italy.
I wouldn't go hours backwards; but a few minutes, OK.
also, great shop. Will continue to shop with you.
Thank you again!
how to remove the solid base jubilee bracelet. i have a skx009k2 and i wanna change it to leather . Any help?
You need a thin fork bracelet tool, you need to get between the lug and bar, and push down/pull. The Seiko bars have no shoulders so its a bit more difficult.
thanks but if you do a video on it will be more easy to do myself. Appreciate it👏👏👍
indeed : )
Put some tape on the case so you don't scratch the watch.
Mark great video, can you tell me where I can get a sapphire crystal installed on my Seiko SKX 173, I don't mind sending it off
I don't get involved in mod work. Do a search on WatchUSeek.com or Reddit Watches. I'm sure there are recommendations there.
Thanks, I will check it out
just a quick question, If you can't manually wind an automatic watch when desired, what do you do when the mainspring loosens completely? Do you just have to shake it like a lunatic or what?
Wear it, like its meant to be.
No uni-taskers! Great A.B. reference
I have heard that the other reason for a screw-down crown is that even in water resistant watch, the stem is usually the weak link for water sealing, and since the crown itself seals to the case with a screw down, the stem seal is no longer a factor. Is that true?
Sort of; check out Watch and Learn #5 and it discusses this a bit more.
how bright is the lume on the Laco? u should do a review on it
Great idea, than you!
I learned something. Great video.
Thank you, that's what I like to hear.
Can you over wind a automatic watch
Off topic question: Would you do a video about storing automatic watches? I heard I need a winding box while others just say to lay the watch flat. Thanks!
Maybe that can be in a more general video, thanks for suggesting!
That's awesome you must be a Good Eats fan.
I had to drop everything to reply to you! I'm watching it right now!!!
Long Island Watch Thank you Sir. If you look me up on Facebook my profile picture of me is with him when he did a book signing at the Library of Philadelphia. I am a huge Alton Brown fan. Also he is a big watch enthusiast.
awesome-ness!
Great video, keep them coming.
My watch gains seconds over time so how can I make sure my watch is on time. Also my manual says to bring the time back before then bring it ahead to where you want it to be
I had a lapse a month ago and broke my skx007 day/date by changing at midnight accidentally. Crown does nothing at first click now but date does still tick over. :-(
Could any watch repair place replace the plastic gear or should I send it to $eiko?
Anybody that works on watches can repair it, they just need the little gear from Seiko (not hard to get).
Thanks.
Are watches like this purchased online at your site brand new?
Yes.
why when you make time adjustment the "second needle" does not stop? So how we can adjust "second needle"?
If it doesn't hack, you cannot. It's not a shortcoming; its just the way it is.
Cool Cool Cool, I think I am going to enjoy this video series
Great job man! I'm planning to buy a watch under 600 usd. I'm confused between two brands Victorinox and Certina. Which one would you recommend? or is there any good brand in that price range
Thank you. It really depends what you want in a watch. Just because your budget is $600 doesn't mean you have to spend $600.
Nice educational video...
nice video definitely a good idea to explain stuff like this really helps guys like my a lot because I'm really new to this
looking foreword to the next one
Awesome idea for a series. Definitely picked up some things I didn't know before. Looking forward for the rest of the series.
Me too!
Ok
Hi mark, love these watch and learn videos, I'm new to analogue watches, but I'm interested in buying a seiko skx009j1. You have probably been asked this a hundred times, and for that I apologise, but what do you do when a automatic watch stops working? Is there anything you can do or does it have to go back to the jewellers? Thanks Nick.
99% of the time it goes to a watchmaker for diagnosis. There isn't much the layman can do.
Long Island Watch OK great, thanks for the reply.
I'm new here and got to say I love the channel!!
Welcome and thank you!
But it's ok to change the time between 9 am and 3 pm?
Absolutely. Safe zone!
It's really weird to me that one has to google for case thickness. It's a super important dimension manufactures tend not to put in their websites.
Any idea why?
We try to put that info into as many listings as possible. I think most of the public doesn't care, but I do know that watch aficionados care a great deal.
Great vid
more please.thanks.
There will be!
Nice vid. Sorry to be a stickler but that's actually an SKX013
Love that Loco!
My skx007 does that back hack when it’s completely stopped. Is it possible?
Aahhhhh ooooohhh! So many things learned. Bravo ! You are fuelling my G.A.S. Big time! Thanks for all this. +Longislandwatch
Thanks for watching and subscribing.
Keep it up, it helps!
Thank you!
Weird, my SKX bezel spins both ways without clicking :/
You need a new click spring installed.
great viedo btw
Thank you
Casio G Shocks are all WR to 200m with screws on the back!
Yes they are. The cases are plastic, and not exactly round. So they don't lend themselves to full threaded backs.
Long Island Watch Yes, that is true of the newer models. In the 1980's and 1990's Casio used resin covered metal cases and screw backs on many of their G shocks (DW-5000, MRG-1, etc). I own a few both older and newer:)
Could you dispel a myth? I've heard that older - 1920s/''30s/'40s
watches were supposed to be wound with a back and forth motion rather
than unidirectionally. Is that true for any movement?
I have never heard that. I couldn't imagine it matters. When you turn back, you are disengaged from the spring. I don't like to turn backwards since its against the way the crown is threaded to the stem, but that's quite minor.
I tried my hand at electrical engineer and multivariable calculus just destroyed my will to live 😂
