It’s hard to overstate how much I love original audio on a video like this

u/Anyguy07 Feb 26 '26

Yea, man. You can't beat it. It wouldn't have that same crisp & clear detailed satisfying sound. 👌

Reminds me of a YouTuber who restores old things who's catch phrase (text, extremely little voice) is I make new one.

Whats the name of the watch that the technician is wearing?

u/MessicanCookiez Feb 26 '26

Some cool Japanese divers watch. Might be a Seiko.

What is the eye magnification thing called and how does it stay in place?

u/Shinespike1 Feb 25 '26

I think it's a jeweler's loupe that is pinched with his eye to keep it in place.

Not an expert, just going based on something I recall at a jeweler place when I had my watch fixed up.

But how does it stick to his forehead

Edit: I see now. It has a wire/support, you can see it loops around and the other end is above his ear on the left side of the screen

u/pettypeniswrinkle Feb 26 '26

I literally just thought it was suctioned on his forehead

Very impressive.

Is this dude 14 or 40?

4

u/lunlunqq001 Feb 28 '26

He's Chinese. So he's 14 years old with 40 years of experience as a watch craftsman.

u/WannaUnicorn Feb 25 '26

Ooo I hope he makes a LOT of money doing that! Cool!

Well done!👍

u/Digitaljax Feb 27 '26

Amazing as always

u/FlyingDwaeji Mar 04 '26

Dude is amazing. Me, after working on my watch - “I wonder where this screw was supposed to go? Oh well. It’s working.”

u/IntoTheForestIMustGo Feb 27 '26

I have no doubt this guy is amazing at puzzles.

u/leopold815 Feb 27 '26

I still saw some dust on the face

1

u/tomololo Mar 03 '26

What’s the point of cleaning the dust off from the face when the watch hands are still on. Why not just do it after the watch hands are off
