My thanks to everyone! The 10K milestone was reached much more quickly than I ever anticipated. The giveaway winner will be announced on Sunday, March 24th. If you’d like to win, please make sure you subscribe to the channel and leave a comment on this video. The winner will most certainly enjoy this watch. It has been running nonstop for several days now and is running beautifully, averaging just a couple seconds per day.

You remind me of Wristwatch Revival, you have great potential! You know whats funny, never could afford an automatic seiko watch, here they are between 250-400 $, almost a sallary. But i was always fascinated about them, the movement, also, started my own jurney to repair watches. Some dream to have a Rolex, i just want a seiko. :D

Finally finished getting everything together and I'm officially starting my journey as a "watchmaker". I have a Seagull ST36 that I've been taking apart and putting back together. I have 2 Waltham 16s model 1908 wristwatch movements that have been disassembled and are ready to be cleaned. I plan to case these movements and giving them to my 2 sons as family heirlooms. Thank you, Adam, for giving me the confidence to jump into the wonderful world of watch repair!

I mean, I know what to do, but the balance jewels on this movement I have isn't shock protected, and I can't seem to get them out to replace them since the lower jewel is broken.

Boy, that is one beautiful looking watch! I really like how you include all the details in your commentary and don't skip through parts. Some of the other KZitem watchmakers seem afraid of being too repetitive, but some of us learn from repetition and after a while we begin to understand what the parts are and how they work together to make the watch run. I hope you don't lose your gift of clearly explaining the process to laymen like us. Great Job!
