how cool is that Corum Golden Bridge , i wish it was just a bit smaller in length .

It's great to see your channel slowly growing. I saw your videos when you didn't even have 100 subscribers.

Beautiful watches overall many interesting pieces , i would love to spent time on such festivals , 15:38 these vintage Tudor Big roses are very rare to get in good condition , i guess the case and hands were polished and the dial refurbished to make it look new again , i don't know if i like that or not .

Great place 👌 Thanks for sharing those vintage beauties. Will visit Zurich in April, try to do some research before my flight to find some place like in your videos 😁✊

I think the OFAIR looks acceptable as a vintage watch now. The cleanup was fine. The dial is fine.

Did Vincent Calabrese create the little bridge movements in clear cases, one of them with a tourbillon?

What brought you to Switzerland or I should say how did you get tot where you’re at? Living and working on watches in Switzerland is a dream for me but might only be a retirement dream at this point.

@barryscottNEED 11 months ago

What is the maker of the watch at 49:30". It has a clear case and visible movement with at back winding crown. I would love to find one like that.

Hey, i have a request. I have a tissot t touch 2 from a while back and have a lot of my father's memories attached to it but recently it stopped working like it's completely dead and I sent it to the official service center but they said that the watch was too old and they didn't have the spare parts, can you help me?
