Enicar Ocean Pearl (Affordable!) Vintage Watch Restoration

This time around Marshall gets his hands on a sweet Enicar Ocean Pearl from the 1960s, and it was only 70 US dollars! This is the type of watch he recommends for learner watch repairers as it's not a huge investment and is a simple, time only watch. Join Marshall on his journey with this watch and thank you for stopping by!

I’ve been a viewer for a while, and I’ve watched every single one of your videos probably two to three times each. I’ve been going through somewhat of a difficult time recently (mental and emotional stuff), and I wanted to let you know that you bring me some peace. I watch one of your videos every night to go to sleep, you’re part of my routine at this point. I just cycle through the videos, waiting for you to post another. Love your content man, hope you have a lovely day if you see this. Thank you man.

I like how you compliment the action of doing complex enough work with a nice explanations and easy going speech. All of that goes so nice together.

I have one coming right now from Australia, used to be into watches 5 years ago or so when I was 17 and had some cheap modern models like Bulova and citizen, found your channel and fell in love with these vintage pieces, regardless of cost. So soon after I first watched this video I went and bid on a 1960s blue dial like the this one and am currently waiting mail to run to get it. $140 shipped

Your photography and close ups are superb - together with your calming voice and explanations = best watch repair channel by far 👍

I just have to say this Marshall.. when I was at school I was horrible at maths, until I got into the last 2 years when my teacher changed.. the way he described things somehow clicked with me and he's the best teacher I've ever had.. I went from getting an F in Maths to getting a C+ because the way he taught and I get that same vibe from you.. you make the repetitive seem different with every video and keeps people interested.
Just bought my first "luxury"ish watch.. it's only a Casioak but 🤷🏼‍♂️ it's luxury to me at a 1/4 of my monthly wage lol
Thank you for the videos

Each of your videos is like an hour at school, a learning lesson, like a studious student, I listen to them and watch them carefully. I learn a lot. The black tea on the hands, haha well done
Thank you, Marshall!

I met a retired watchmaker and he showed me the basics, but on a pocket watch. Final exam was to disassemble and reassemble, and have it work. Fast forward, I'm watching your videos to work on wristwatches. Note to newbies...don't sneeze when it's disassembled in front of you!

Simple yet satisfying. 😊 I am liking your videos as you throw in a lot of humour and good conversation along the way. Keep up the good work!

This is a truly very well engineered watch. Multiple bridges with individual pivot points and bearings strengthens and reinforces the delicate parts inside the watch. I can see this watch enduring rough use for decades with little or no wear as long as reasonable service intervals are provided, Truly a credit to the watch builder as a simple but well engineered durable watch, Kudos to Marshall for an excellent job refreshing this well engineered but simple watch! What a treat thanks Marshall great work!

The commentary really does for me, I didn't see myself watching a 1 hour watch reparation video but all the anotations you make in the process it really smooth out the whole thing.

My grandfather gave me his Enicar Ocean Pearl a few months before he passed. It has a different dial design with Roman numerals, its manually keyed and it also has a fabric strap like the NATO strap. And the reason I get hooked onto your channel is because my grandfather used to repair watches as a hobby. I'm really happy to see you repair a similar watch and its kinda making me emotional. Fascinated by this one. Cheers!
P.S the watch doesn't work now but I will find a watchmaker to get it repaired.

Just spent a thousand dollars on watch repairing tools because of you, thanks bud!😅

[marksaathoff]

I learn something new every time I watch one of your videos. Keep up the good work.

I am getting into horology because of you and your videos, Marshall! Thank you for making them for us. Also thanks for plugging some of the suppliers where I can find some of the tools to start pawing around some of my own watches!

I've made a huge mistake about a month ago before I started watching these vintage watch restoration videos on YouTube. I bought a Fossil watch from the store. If I had bought it today after watching these vintage watch videos after a month, I would've returned it. Sure my watch will run for a long time but the low quality was immediately apparent after I had it for a week. I must be spoiled. The vintage mechanical watch has always been an intriguing thing to me. So many small parts. Although I'd likely not wear a watch everyday as I used to, I'd still like to rock an old one....just cuz. No one else would notice but I would feel awesome.

Hey man I cant tell you how much I appreciate that you take the time to "Share" your knowledge, I leave in Alaska and there is no way I could access this information in any other way (ok I have books yes), is almost like having someone in the room teaching you hands on! Keep up the good work Holmes..

Hi I've been watching your videos for a while and now made my first investment into the tools need and have already rebuilt my first movement, im a stone mason so this is very different to my day job but thanks to your videos I'm hooked. Thank you from the South Coast UK

[jjtinkler]

Fantastic video. Much more engaging than a watch repair video usually is - I enjoyed the way you brought out your thoughts and expectations about the watch and the tricky elements as you worked on it.
Thank you so much for doing this.

I recently purchased an Enica Ultrasonic 17 Rubis watch, I'm not good enough to repair it myself, it will be sent out for servicing, restoration. 👍

I ran across your channel while perusing general content. Your knowledge and your ability to communicate in a manner that drew in someone with no previous interest in watch repair/restoration but a love of how all things work had my full attention for the entire first video. The algorithm’s have brought me more channels (including some you have alluded to) on the subject. Even though you are a hobbyist, you are by far the most enlightening and entertaining, thank you for the great content.
