  Marshall, just confirming your &quot;suspicion&quot; that people who don&apos;t care about watches find this interesting. I am a video producer, and have no desire to buy expensive watches (or any non digital watch truthfully), yet I am addicted to your content, your ability to calmly walk through the process and provide a friendly space. I put your videos up while editing my videos as a calm way to drudge through hours of interviews. Thank you for keeping this hobby alive and available for those of us who are curious but have no interest in doing it ourselves.

  As always. Shout out to the radium girls. Brave workers who gave too much.

  As a professional engineer (not specifically into watches) but I&apos;m very pleased to see you supporting and encouraging Maximilian&apos;s interest. Excellent stuff.

  I was so stoned when I watched this first time I thought you had no fingernails for like 30 seconds

  Digital devices are great, but the sheer mechanical precision and complexity of analog mechanisms is timeless.

  As a little girl my dad use to give me old watches, &nbsp;I don&apos;t know why, but with out any &nbsp;help I &nbsp;knew how to take them apart &nbsp;and put them back together right. &nbsp;But I couldn&apos;t fix them. I really enjoyed &nbsp;this ! I didn&apos;t have any &nbsp;special &nbsp;tools ! Seeing what was inside, &nbsp;all the little &nbsp;jewels &nbsp;! &nbsp;I wish I had , had someone to teach me back then. I&apos;ve always liked &nbsp;knowing &nbsp;what&apos;s inside of things. &nbsp;Later in life in became a &nbsp;Prototype engineer in &nbsp;foot wear!

  My grandpa left me a vintage 1970s Rolex Datejust. At first I was just going to sell it, but the more I looked at it and thought about it, I realized I was in love with the watch. I got it serviced and reconditioned and now I wear it daily. <br><br>Your videos popped up and now I’m absolutely hooked and so glad I kept the watch. It’s a timeless piece and I get to remember my grandfather every time I look at it.

  The &nbsp;moment you opened the watch up knocked my socks off. What a gorgeous movement

  Honestly, these are the only 45+ minute videos that I can sit down and watch from start to finish. Thanks for putting these out there Marshall.

  Was lying in bed, sicker than a dog with covid, when your vid posted. &nbsp;Now I have something to distract me as I cough up my kidneys. Lol. Thanks Marshal.
