I guess the animations are animated gifs now instead of Flash?

There is a YouTube channel that I enjoy watching called WristWatchRevival that details the disassembly, cleaning, repair, and reassembly and verification of various high-end watches. I find watching it to be therapeutic.

I have it from a good source that it's all ball bearings now. TRUTH

Fascinating! I watched a few minutes of the author taking apart an 'automatic' (self-winding) wristwatch. Sent to grandkids; maybe one of them will be interested.
Thanks for the link.

WOW!
I just watched his restoration video of an Explorer exposed to seawater.
The owner must have left the crown unscrewed.
The video is two years old, so I wonder if the guy is still in business.
I've got a watch I'd like to have restored.
This guy is also a great presenter.
Very good commentary sans blather.
Thank you for the link, z.

He posted videos a few days ago.
Re: How mechanical watches work - ztirffritz - 04-29-2025
He has dozens of videos.

I saw that he had a lot of videos, but didn't note that he posted recently.
An email was sent, though the sight says it can take a week or more to reply.
I'd love to get my Watch refurbished, more likely than restored.
But I'm more than a little wary of what it might cost.
As I mentioned, this guy is a great presenter.
No blather, very few misspoken words, and almost zero, if not zero, repeating or halting phrases.
I've only watched on video, but there will be more.
