Thank you all for the first 1000 Views! A lot more restoration Videos like this with all kind of watches will follow. Next time i am going to fully restore a stainless steel case.
It is really nice to see how you serviced this watch without fancy equipment. The strap at the end of the video was perfect, it really made the watch shine!! If I could offer a couple of suggestions for your consideration (I am a hobbyist watchmaker myself): around 14:54, would it work to use double-sided tape to attach the caseback to the chuck, or superglue the caseback to some kind of a metal bar held in the chuck, to decrease the risk of damage? And, in case you are planning to get one of those Chinese timegraphers, it'd be interesting to see if the watch is keeping time (though with the cylinder escapement, it is probably not going to be good).
@@ppod- Thanks for your comment. Sometimes i do it exactly as you described and glue part with tape/super glue. For exaple dials or other very fragile parts. For the caseback until now it always worked for me with the chuck, but you need to be careful. I have an chinese timegrapher but i have not measured the watch. In daily use the watch is running with +-45s per day.
Well done. I enjoy a restoration without complete refinishing as I like to see the wear marks that show the watche's age and that is worn and loved by someone. The title in the thumbnail says 'Can we safe it?' It should say 'save.' to save is the verb, safe is the modifier.
Thank you, i’m happy to hear that you like the restoration. Don‘t forget to subscribe for more content! I have a lot more vintage watches in the pipeline which are waiting to be repaired. And I‘m going to share all on my channel.
excellent work
