I'd love to sit and watch someone like you work on a watch and ask questions as you work. It's always amazing to see a professional do their job well

Most impressive, and thank you for the step-by-step documenting of the process. The old girl deserved a bit of TLC after a hard shift!

Damn.....that was interesting. I've watched a few videos of pros servicing watches, but you don't always know what they are doing or why. This was perfectly explained in Swenglish!
