Level 2

Still like the video length. There were a few spots (i.e. during the video of replacing the mainspring by hand and also attaching the hook to the mainspring when using a winder) that were covered up by hands and a different camera angle would have been helpful. I just received my mainspring winder and keep going back to that video but can’t see what you are doing. I definitely need way more practice with that no matter what and have some old junk watches that I can practice on before I try it out on a nicer watch.
I really liked both videos and will start Level 3 after I practice more with the demo movement and then some of the non-running watches I got off eBay.
I really like the fact that I can go back and view the videos again, and again as I fumble through the re-assembly process.

Admin Response...

Thank you for the feedback and in particular, the issue with having a second angle whilst installing the mainspring.

Whilst I do get many compliments on the quality of the videos, all new content I am shooting is of an even higher quality and with multiple angles as standard - the earlier ones being 1080p as opposed to my subsampling 8K now since camera technology has increased so much over the past 9 years since I started this project. Once level 4 is completed, I will be upgrading all the footage from earlier lessons to the new standard, and replacing the older footage for the new.
