    I am happy to say that watching your videos and listening to your wonderfully clear speaking, I've been able to pick up tools and work on my own watches. To date I've rebuilt a 47 Elgin Parklor, an 1892 Elgin #6 Pocket Watch, a late 50's Hamilton Electric, my Omega Seamaster and most recently on the workbench is a 50's Benrus Selfwind that I am fixing for a co-worker. Yes your videos are *THAT GOOD!* I recommend your channel to all my watch friends. Keep up the fantastic work Mark!

      I can't wait to see the fault finding with the timegrapher. I just picked up an MTG1000 timegrapher and I've been going over and regulating my watches with great success in numerous positions but it will be a great to see an explanation of faults that can be found with the timing machine.

    Hi there, as a total beginner in the area, I find this VERY useful. The clarity and the neutrality of the tone is priceless. THANK YOU.

    I'm just a watch enthusiast and proclaim no aptitude for watch repair, but just watching your videos is so absorbing, that I forget time itself! Thanks! So informative, some others have mentioned how clearly you express the topic. Lovely work!

    Great work again, Mark. These videos are superbly produced and clearly explained.

    thank you for doing these videos. I am learning so much about watch movements, repair, adjusting, etc. I'm not sure I will ever work on watches myself (I am much better with a hammer and pliers than I am with fine motor movements and minuscule parts) but your videos are helping me understand what is happening with these miniature machines. Well done!

    I can't thank you enough for your videos! I started my watch/clock interest as the only guy in my shop,( 4th largest furniture retailer in the U.S.) who could actually figure out how to do "simple" repairs on Howard Miller Grandfather clocks we sold. I then took classes by Howard Miller and quickly advanced to "Expert" on Howard Millers Kienenger movements. Good,durable mass produced movements that are "nearly" idiot proof for the average home owner. But not quite.
    Wanting to advance my knowledge base,I started fooling around with other movements,the pocket watches. But,I know when to stop!
    Your videos are THE BEST, for knuckleheads like me. Simple,easily explained,and concise. Not too much info at once. GREAT!!!!!!

    I have worked on antique clocks for a few years. But just started on pocket watches quit a difference in size.
    Your videos are very helpful in all repair methods of pocket watches. This has helped my learning curve to be
    much shorter. Thanks i will keep watching.

    Superlative channel!!! wish were a watchmaker nearer than 2000 km from my home. People just dump any watch, mechanical or quartz. Boxes full with Omega, GP, Movado, Bolaro, Tressa, Orient, Longines, Seiko 6138/39, Citizen Bull Head, Casios, etc. terminated. I saved some from the garbage in great conditions. Cheers from Patagonia, Argentina!!!

    Fancy servicing my 1999 Brietling Cronomat on a video?, needs the bezel ratchet sorting also as the bezel just turns both ways.

    My interest in watches started about 6-8 months ago so I'm quite new to terminology and known movements/types. I was curious if you have a video on removing different types of watch backs, for maintenance such as regulation, and then reattaching, with regard to how tight the back/screws should be. I've got a few automatics and would like to confidentially be able to regulate them myself starting from removing the back. Thanks. Best channel I've found so far to try and learn about the mechanics of a watch..
