I am sure like most horologists I am forever reading horological books, web sites and searching YouTube for watch or clock repairs and technics used. However I also seem to find following these YouTube channels the most useful and informative.
 

These are my favourite subscribed YouTube channels.

Repivot22 

Professional watch repairer who,s vids shows his repairs are excellent Look for his hairspring adjustment techniques which are well worth watching. 

Chronoglide Watchmaking

Shows his techniques and also gives excellent advice. His latest vids  such as how to handle small parts or how to make money as a horologist are well worth a watch. 

Nekkid Watchmaker

This guys work on his watch cases and bracelets are excellent. Also some of his improvised repairs are good.

JD Richard

Really great vids on lathe work, on how to use vintage tools and repair techniques. His pocket watch repairs are excellent. Also is a active member of this forum. PS not a bad guitar player as well. 😊

Tommy Jobson

An absolute must if you are interested in clocks. His work is absolutely superb and shows what can be achieved using skill and the correct equipment. He really does set a high bar to achieve.

Richard Perrett Watchmaker

This guy tends to repair high end watches with the occasional clock. The assembling vids I find interesting. This guy uses a ultrasonic machine for all of his work including watches which is frowned on by some. One of his vids he shows what liquids he uses and it does seem to work. 

Al Takatsch

Great vids on clock repair especially assembly he also sometimes contributes on our site.

Red Dead Restoration

This shows the restoration of completely wrecked watches well worth subscribing.

Watch Repair Channel

This I am sure you all know is run my our Mark Lovett.Stumbling on one of his vids back in 2014 got me interested in becoming more competent in watch repair after many years of tinkering with clocks and watches. His vids are still IMO the best quality in presentation showing the assembly and servicing of basic to complex time piece’s. I still refer back to his vids.

Not many new vids of late but I expect this is due to his very successful watch training course. 

Mr Lostinthisworld

Only a couple of vids buts shows professional repair to Rolex bracelets.

To your list, I would add...

Magic of Wheels is also a very interesting channel. I think it's based on Thailand, but his videos are commented in English. The video quality is great.

      What's your thoughts on this Rolex Sea-Dweller, ref. 16600, calibre 3135 project?

      By VWatchie · Posted

      Well, my fundamental stance is that I want to go in and out without leaving any trace other than a shining, perfectly running movement. So, no scratchings on the inside of the case back lid, no marred screws, no debris, no fingerprints, and so on. That is, my goal is to make it impossible for the FBI to track me down. As a professional, I suppose you might want to keep track of returning watches, but as @JohnR725 mentioned, we can keep detailed computer records without marking the watch at all. That may not be true for every watch, but luxury and COSC-certified movements do have unique numbers. John also says it’s best to leave no sign you were ever there, and I couldn't agree more. Now, suppose the Sea-Dweller I'm working on is one day scrapped, and you want to sell the case-back separately (perhaps the case was destroyed in a plane crash). Then the scribbles on the inside no longer reflect the current movement inside the case. Also, the engraving will likely halve the market value of the case back. It had been "sleeping" for about a week and a half. Yes, the "debris/old lubricant" theory is my hypothesis as well! It will be interesting to see what I find once I have time to start disassembling the movement.

      Help with repairing a quartz clock

      By MikeEll · Posted

      I've repaired a few of these, having some success with stripping and cleaning the mechanism.  They are so cheap though, its hardly worth the effort in many cases.

      A lathe with indexing that won't break the bank?

      By SwissSeiko · Posted

      Id love to see how he has the output shaft mounted to this setup, as I have the same rotary stage and stepper in my build.

      Broken watch stem in watch crown

      By Poljot · Posted

      If you see at least one thread protruding, or even a half, then you may have a chance using this "tool", but don't squeeze hard. Lot's of patience, and if you notice any signs of loctite or other adhesives, then apply several drops of acetone on top of broken stem. Use heat (hair dryer) also. You should be able gradually turn it counterclockwise, just like i did on this broken Timex stem, which was glued with something like nail hardener. Then you can use an extender to save your broken stem. https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/513DVvkfW5L.__AC_SX300_SY300_QL70_ML2_.jpg   You can also try cutting a small grove / slot on top of the broken stem to use 0.7mm flat screwdriver.   Depending on the Crown material and Stem material, you can try dissolving the stem.
