Through this whole video I was expecting Marshall to suddenly sweep everything into the trash and say “ at this point I bought her a new watch “ 😂
Through the years of working on cars and things that are comparatively gigantic, watching someone take a watch apart is a special kind of brave. Those parts look so delicate and easy to lose. I have the utmost respect that you can take that apart and then return it to working order
One of the surprising aspects of watchmaking is how important healthy knees are, for crawling around looking for parts.
and one aggressive hit on a car loosens a bolt, on a watch it shatters it into thousands of pieces.
I can not imagine working on a watch especially one this small. I'll stick with the gigantic car parts. :)
The "heat the screw" trick has worked for me on auto repairs. If I have that gut feeling a stud will break off, I heat it up red hot, let it cool a little, and clamp the vise grips on to wiggle back & forth. Then add a few drops of light oil after its completely cooled.

Looks like your aunt needs a dive watch for when she washes the dishes. Another fantastic video, absolutely amazing skill levels on display Marshall, this watch was tiny!
30:12 "He's reverse-screwing that one, that's got to be the crown wheel."
I either am learning or am watching too many watch repair videos.
Yes
You won't be bored for an hour when Marshal uploads.
So true. Great Job again!
Truth
Depends what happens in the remaining 18 minutes.! Though I could watch at 3/4 speed. Or go down to 1/4 and watch a Drunk Marshall.
I literally use these to fall asleep to
@@Grom-rl8bm I agree. It's kind of ironic that this video was uploaded at night for me.
This wristwatch manufacturer *Wega* is (in details) the *_Wega Watch SA_* from Grenchen in Switzerland; this watch company existed from 1924 to 1973.
But, in terms of this particular logo with the double-hard-shaped "W", this logo shown as such, was copyrighted on April 4th, 1950 to be used until 1972 - year as of which, W.W. started to get sold part by part to be spread & shared with other small Swiss watchmakers like _Wega & Delbana_ (1973-1983) and _Wega & Owix_ (1973-1987), until the _Wega_ disappeared as of 1987/88.
Never a dull moment “watching”Marshall do his magic..good stuff always. Thank you 🙏.
I love how he starts out enjoying the watch when first looking at it, to really appreciating the watch having spent some time with it.
I always have a great “time”
Haha he said magic
The "pearlage" effect (I'm sure I misspelled that, apologies) is achieved by mounting a wooden dowel in a drill press, applying some fine abrasive to the dowel, and lowering it until it contacts the metal surface. The dowel is allowed to spin briefly and creates that pretty circle on the metal surface. The process is repeated until the desired effect is achieved. In shop class we used to call it "jeweling". Probably misspelled that too.
hey everyone get a load of this guy misspelling made up words! (just kidding! 💟)
I'd call it a "manual machining operation", as an in-between to numerically controlled or purely manual work.
That same technique is used by hotrodders to decorate the firewalls of their cars.
You got real close. Just delete the first "a".

Thank your aunt from us for giving you such a nice wreck to work on (well for us to enjoy) 🙂
Very few channels where I can sit through a whole video without skipping, this is one of them. Thanks for another great one.
Wow, Marshal! This was a true rescue mission. You saved quite a bit of original parts; surprising how effective the anti rust liquid was, but still could not perform biblical resurrections on some parts. Thanks again for a well spent time 👍👍
You make this stuff so engaging and accessible that you almost make me think I could do the same!
yea makes me think same........ then i wake up eyes of bat, memory like gold fish hands that turn cream to butter
@@philiprice7875hahahaha sorry but I relate too much to this
What surprised me on my watchmaking journey is that working on these small ladies movements isn't much different to working on other movements. It's just a step from 'bloody small' to 'really bloody small'.
all you need to do is take different magnification the microscope
I got my first mechanical watch 2 days ago, only ever had quartz watches in the past - it gave me a WHOLE new respect for what your doing, I know the parts are small and you have demonstrated that in the past but when I saw the little balance wheel going in my watch (exhibition back) I couldn’t believe how small it was 😂
Yours is bigger than Marshall’s aunt’s watch’s movement
It's a good day when marshal uploads
Marshall I feel your pain, I recently did a restoration of a lady's watch with the ETA 2510 which is very similar to 2412 and I struggled for more than an hour to put that train wheel bridge back. It all worked well in the end and the wife has a new dress watch 😅
I can see your skill level increasing with every new video that you upload.
You oiled those jewlels with such precision and on a really small watch too.
You`re getting to be like a true professional. Very well done for saving the watch.
I really love these videos where you use new techniques that shake up the formula of these videos. Seeing the rust buster in action was so satisfying as well.
A few more years to retirement...I enjoy the quality and narration of your videos immensely. When I was a kid I was a pretty serious model builder, as an adult I've have life-long hobbies involving miniatures (among other things) and I could absolutely see this being a hobby when I retire. In large part thanks to your videos. I have a lifetime of watches and inherited watches and would love to be able to service them myself and them pass them on...so thank you. Keep making these fabulous fascinating meditative videos, please. And thank you 🙂
That's a really nice restoration!! Well done, and I hope your aunt is happy too 😎👍
As usual I am blown away by the ability of watchmakers to create such small precision parts. I also wanted to give a shout out to Patron Alex Traxler .. the surname is a Germanic occupational name in origin so not necessarily a connection but fun to acknowledge.
I'd like to see how they make those tiny parts especially from long ago. It is amazing to me.
Your videos bring me so much joy! Thank you so much for being here!
What a lovely watch! Nice job doing the restoration!
Marshall, you are a gifted story teller. Thanks for another great video.
Ya know, I find this sooooooo relaxing to watch.
And the narrative is soooooooo relaxing to listen to.
Great repair! What a wonderful nephew you are, Marshall :)
Such a wonderful, sensitive restoration. Thank you!
Almost 700K! Nice work saving this wreck of a watch from your auntie! I thought for sure it would be a total loss when I saw the extent of the rusting, but you saved a fair amount of the original internals.
I've been amazed watching your watch repairs after every episode... I love the relaxed procedure that you pay detailed attention to with your skills as a watch revivalist... if this is your Hobbie, then you are absolutely Killin it! Good work is the key to good fortune and self satisfaction. Bravo! 👏
Ah what a perfect timing Marshall! Sitting in front of a new diver project i was gonna tear into on my free day! Thanks for the entertaining video while im tinkering!
I love your videos! And your voice is so great! Awesome to see your channel grow! Please keep on going!
Very well done, it's nice to see the clock running so smoothly again. It's a very beautiful little clock.
A bit of an epic adventure with that one! Your aunt is lucky to have you to save the watch ☺
I appreciate you telling us how long you spent on each task. It helps to get the proper perspective on the level of difficulty.
A fine job on this watch for your dear aunt. That rust may well have been more than a one time oops in the dishwater. Surely you'll remind her to take the watch off when doing dishes. Well done sir...well done.
Beautiful work! This will never ever get old.
Marshal that was incredible my friend , what a lovely little watch , brilliant restoration , thank you .
Wonderful job. I thought that watch was done for! I find your videos so therapeutic. Thanks Marshall!
ive never really had an interest in watch repair, and i dont even own a watch.
but i still find these vids captivating for some reason.
Evapo Rust is a great resource for removing rust from watches, knives and everything else. Amazed at how delicate these parts are. Wonderful video
I love how you record every single video as if it was the first one or if it was made for people with 0 knowledge in watchmaking. Hearing you explaining everything never gets old. What an amazing restoration 😍
Hi Marshall, a fiendly tip:
Heat is effective but you will achive the best results if the item the screw is screwed into is significanly warmer than the screw. Getting the area around really hot - so that it expands - while the screw is chilled so that it expands less from the heat than the area around.
Thank you for a wonderful channel.
Beautiful watch Marshall, Love your content! Thank you. I bet your Aunt is going to be a very happy lady.
What a lovely watch! I hope your Aunt enjoys!
Masterfully done. Thanks for the video, Marshall!
Another great video. I really enjoy the "adventures" like this one. When you put the movement into the overnight rust removal bath the first time, I had visions there being nothing left in the container the next day but a few small particles of metal.
Marshall -
I certainly enjoy your videos and relaxing voice. But I really amazed how steady your hands are. Thanks for what you do.
like that you showed this especially since this watch had so many huge issues. So thanks for showing us your way of solving those problems. Also it kinda shows that only after years after it propably being first introduced to dishwashing it stopped and just how much rust was there when someone realised it needed service badly.
Now that was satisfying. Great job reviving that watch!
A note on freeing frozen screws and bolts with heat: When you heat the bolt/screw, it's actually expanding INTO the hole it's screwed into, making it fit tighter in the hole and harder to turn. You're better off heating the metal that it's screwed into so that it hopefully expands AWAY from the bolt/screw. When you do this on larger stuff, you can occasionally hear it "pop" as it frees as you're applying heat. If you have no choice but to heat the screw itself, try allowing it to cool completely before freeing it.
Good to know a parts movement can bring a cherished item back to life! I have a few of those ready to "help out".
Great work, let us know what she thought 🙂
That was an amazing restoration. That was one I didn't think would work again.
Loving the frequency of these recent uploads!!
Another great video Marshall, thanks for your efforts.
Another outstanding video Marshall. I’ve got a couple of ladies watches in my pile but it’ll be a while before I tackle those. Thanks for what you’re doing.
Hi Marshall! I can imagine the sense of accomplishment you felt when the crown pulled out! It took two years of coaxing and penetrating fluid when suddenly a stuck tuning slide pulled out of one of my antique horns! Great feeling! Great video as always!
Another great video Marshall, and a really interesting watch. See you the same time next year after she has washed the dishes in it again !! 😇. Thanks for sharing and please keep up the good work.👍
Fantastic as always. I wish you'd show a reaction video when your family/friend gets a look at their restored watch. Would be a cool addition to the channel. Maybe a separate video series from the restoration ones since these restoration videos are so clean and well done as is.
You do briefly get to see the owner's reaction in a few videos, and you'll often find the owner and/or their friends & family in the comments section. But keep in mind that the watches are the stars of these videos... many people aren't interested in being filmed for UA-cam, and the timepieces are often sent interstate or overseas. That's why I always scan through the comments on his videos, because you often get their reaction & occasionally some bonus history about the watch too!
I'm sure that your Aunt was delighted to get this beautiful timepiece back in working order. Given the water damage I'm sure that many commercial/professional serivce companies would have said "Thank you, but not today" and written it off.
These days many professional companies write it off if you have a tiny scratch
It really is a shame, and an indicator of our throwaway culture. True "watch repair" shops are nearly extinct. They used to be on most corners like the shoe repair shop, or the appliance repair shop. Now, if you can find one, it's either someone who just changes batteries, or it's a high end shop that only works on luxury pieces.
I love to see your videos, I learn a lot about watches. Keep it like that! It would be fantastic to have videos more quite often but I suppose there is a lot of work behind. Thanks!
Thanks Marshall! Your videos are truly amazing!
Great work as always, Marshall!
Excellent video as usual.
As soon as I saw the rust, my thoughts were "that's toast!". And duly confirmed moments later by Marshall our resident expert. 👍🏻🇬🇧😎
Enjoy your programs. They are helpful with my new hobby!
Thank you Marshall for this lovely video. As always: 👍👏👌!
I really enjoyed the drama of the rust discovery and its setting the stage for how you would overcome - made the video very enjoyable. Personally I would absolutely enjoy the comparative assessment in choosing each of the replacement parts, but understand that exposing the facts behind the magic may have lead to a ship of Theseus kind of concern .
I just wanted to take a moment to say how amazing your video was! I was really impressed with the quality of the footage, the editing, and the overall presentation. You did a great job of explaining the topic in a clear and concise way, and I learned a lot from watching your video.
I also really appreciated the way you made the video engaging and entertaining. You kept my attention throughout the entire video, and I never felt bored or lost. I would definitely recommend your video to anyone who is interested in learning more about the video.
Wow...what a rust bucket that one was.. Great that you had a donner for a number of parts that couldn't be salvaged from the original one. Excellent job on the restoration and bringing that little beauty back to life. Im sure your Aunt will be thrilled. Kudos
I restored a watch with a similar, but smaller, ETA movement and I have to tell you, at the time I thought that I was absolute trash at working on watches because of that god forsaken train of wheels. I've never been so happy to see you struggle as it gave me an immense amount of hope in myself hahahaha.
I've only worked on 4 watches as of right now but I watch you videos religiously and take most of my inspiration from you, being that you're not a professional.
beyond thankful for your introduction into this hobby and keep up the good work!
when getting that dial off took that long and we just saw layer and layer of rust, i thought this was going to be a replacement part video (or a full movement replacement) but it's amazing to see how much that de-ruster did and also how much of that was just staining.
Marshall you've done it again what an impressive feat restoring this to working order and also your videography is, as always, stellar.
I use that same de-ruster, it's popular on youtube maker channels, and ngl, it's for good reason.
If I were him (and not doing this for UA-cam purposes) I honestly would have called it a write off as soon as I saw under the dial, although I’m not a watch maker.
Outstanding restoration!
That "de-ruster" works great in combination with an ultrasonic cleaner, pour some in a jam jar or similar & give the parts a few minutes. Speeds up the Evaporust massively in most cases.
There is a scene in Last Samurai explaining the beauty of a cherry blossom, where, Moritsugu Katsumoto says to Cpt. Nathan Algren, “The perfect blossom is a rare thing. You could spend your entire life looking for one, and it would not be a wasted life.” That’s how I feel about your videos, not boring, not a waste of time. Can’t wait for the next video.
Excellent video really enjoyed how you’ve saved this watch.
Thank you...somehow this provides an escape from modern chaos and your voice is soothing...cadence tempo and clarity...Bless you....Hope you van do some vintage bulovas...214 or 218...❤
Again you are an amazing technician. Always enjoy your videos.
It was actually refreshing to see that you also struggle at times with a tough train wheel bridge. Can really test my patience.
Hey Marshall, you are by far my favorite UA-cam channel. I'm 21 years old and have grown up working on cars and hope to get some tools to start working on watches this Christmas. I was wondering if you could make a video showing how you would clean a movement just using a hydrosonic cleaner or do you have a video already where you did that? Anyway, thanks for your time, and thank you for brightening the world of another guy with a passion for tinkering with things.
Your aunt need 3 watches in the house, one in the kitchen, one in the living room and one in the bedroom. I suggest you by them at Walmart and give them to her as a Christmas gift. This watch is only to use at special occasions, birthdays, weddings, or just hanging out with friends. Great video thanks for sharing.
I’ve learned when working with small springs that if the parts are small enough I place them in a ziplock bag when installing. It’s saved me so much anguish throughout the years.
Watching you rehabilitate this watch gives me faith in the Eternal Watch maker that my life can be used to His glory, without the rust!
Great work as always Marshall.
You inspired me to actually get a good pocket watch. I went through 10 of the quartz ones this last year, so I bought a couple if nicer wind-up ones. Much better quality. Thanks for inspiring me.
Great videos.
I couldnt imagine how many times he held his breath or thought...dont sneeze.... very well done
Nice job as always Marshall 👍
Amazing! I thought that watch was toast by the rust, even more amazing is Marshall finding another movement to get parts from for an obscure watch like that!
Love the videos Marshall! As a Machinest this fascinates me I ended up getting a pocket watch to work on it has a broken mainspring, I also made my own movement holder in my garage machine shop. Keep up the awesome videos!!!
Thank you for continuing to share your repair and service work. It's actually inspired me to actually look at getting a couple of older/cheaper watches. Specifically; Trench watches.
Trench watches were made from pocket watches, and (some) were even derived from dollar watches (interesting history)!
I'd love to see you do a restoration of some older trench watches, and/or even a dollar watch (just gotta be sure to get ones with screws as opposed to riveted on parts).
That's what I call a great save. Nice work, Marshall.
"Maybe You are too cool to care about the seconds..." Man, this is philosophy and a bit poetic. Amazing !
Although ive watched Marshall for a long time now, seeing all the tiny bits on the bench makes me anxious 😂
owwww, winced when I saw that rust on taking the cover off, come on lady you're going to owe your nephew a coffee after this one :)
Masterful as always Marshal 👍😁 can’t wait for the next one.
The magic of CLR.
Nice save!
Sir i love your videos, i'm eating breakfast right now, got a good colombian coffee, some toast and an egg. It's soooo relaxing watching your vids. Calm, warm voice. Nice information on any watch you fix. Awesome.
Aunty comin in clutch! ✨⌚️✨
I think Marshall is the Ernest Shackleton of watchmaking, the famous Antarctic explorer. Fortitudine Vincimus translates to “Through endurance, we conquer.” It was the Shackleton family motto. That could be the subtitle for his channel. I cannot believe that the man never gives up no matter how bad things look. (Except Marshall has a way cooler watch collection than Schackleton ever had. We only get glimpses every so often, but I watch not only to see him bring back all these “not dead, just mostly dead” beautiful watches, and for his terrific narration, but also to catch fleeting glimpses of the incredible watches in his collection that he wears while doing his work. Keep up the amazing work Marshall!
Wow what a mess. Great result as always.
Wow! Amazing job!
Great stuff here!
Extremely enjoyable to watch and listen to!
👍👍👍👍👍
