Amazing work! Even though I have questions about the process, I wont bother asking, as it looks like you have a process that took years to master.
Hi, there! Thank you so much for watching and for your interest in our craft! We truly appreciate your support and we hope you enjoy our future videos. Have a wonderful day 😊
Nice job by a professional never mind the hands and solvent been doing that for years washing bearings by hand
Hi, there! Thank you so much for watching and for your kind comment. We truly appreciate the support and insight about solvent safety. Yes, our team has been doing this for years and knows when to wear gloves for more hazardous materials. You can tell that they definitely put in the work! Have a wonderful day 😊
Great job. Can you tell me what type of paper were you putting on the dial when you polished markers? I want't to try polishing the markers on my old watch but I don't want to loose beautiful patina.
Hi, there! Thank you so much for watching and for your interest in our craft. Unfortunately, we cannot give the specifics of the materials we use as they are kept as a trade secret. We appreciate your understanding and hope you have a great day 😊
Beautiful result. I would like to know why these many steps are done. Polishing, rinsing, plating, varnishing (repeat) Be carefull with all that thinner and acetone on your skin.
Hi, there! Thank you for watching and for the kind words.
Our process has a lot of repeating steps as we want to make sure that the quality of the restoration is at the utmost quality it can be. The texture, color, intensity, etc. are all important to get right at that step, or else we would need to start the entire process over again. We always want to make sure the outcome is perfect!
Also, thank you for your concern on the chemicals. For the harsher chemicals, they do wear gloves, however, most of the time, they prefer handling the dial restoration without them 🙂
Have a wonderful day!
Nicely done. I❤
Hi, there! Thank you so much for watching and for your kind comment. We appreciate the support and hope you enjoy our other videos as well. Have a wonderful day 😊
So glad you guys did another video, they’re really great 👍
Hi, there! Thank you so much for continuing to watch! We appreciate your support. We hope you stick around for more of our future content!
How does the stamping works ? The printing is very good.
Hi, there! Thank you so much for watching and for your interest in our craft. We use a vintage pad printer and have a large collection of genuine dial printing templates that matches the original dial print. We appreciate your patience and we hope you enjoy our other videos as well. Have a wonderful day 😊
Nice job, but he used more water for cleaning a single dial that I've used showering, LOL.
Very nicely done. Final polishing of the indicies rounds or destroys the sharp edges. Perhaps a different technique or a modification should be implemented in order to retain the edge sharpness and originality.
Hi, there! Thank you again for watching and for your insight. We appreciate your comment and will be continuing the work we've been doing since 1926 for both our clients and partnerships alike. We hope you continue to watch our future content and wish you a wonderful day! 😊

Hello, may i know who is the supplier of the matte plating solution? thank you
Hi, Great Work . I was wondering What is the red liquid you used to mask the dial at 06:05 in the video?
Hi, there! Thank you so much for watching and for the supportive comment! Unfortunately, we can't share exactly what we use to mask the dial, but it's used in order to create the two-tone design of the dial. We appreciate your understanding. Thank you and have a wonderful day!
So interesting. I used you guys in the 80's
Wow! Thank you so much for your continuous support! We appreciate you for watching and for reaching back out through the comments 😊
Amazing work. Thanks for the video. I want to ask that I didn't understand. What is this white powder that you rub on the dial and what does it do? Thank you.
Hi, there! Thank you so much for watching and for your interest in our craft. Although we can't share the exact details of what the white powder is, we can say that it's an abrasive that helps clean up the dial before we add any color and paint.
@@kirkrichdial Understood, thanks for the reply. I would like to visit you some day.
@@kirkrichdial ok
amazing craftsmanship, really enjoy the whole process.

What is the purpose of repeating the plating and scrubbing procedure?
Hi, there! Thank you for watching and for your interest in our craft. Our process has a lot of repeating steps as we want to make sure that the quality of the restoration is at the utmost quality it can be.

@@kirkrichdial thank you for the very detailed response. I admire your team’s meticulous work and appreciate that you’re willing to show the process. I aspire to make and restore dials as a hobby. Do you know of any good resources or books on how to make a dial? Or how I can begin to learn the craft?
@@kirkrichdial What is this white powder that you rub on the dial, and what does it do? Thank you.
No sabia que se podía restaurar el dial de un reloj. Excelente!

Mal. Los bordes de los números o indicadores quedan con restos de pintura.
Bare hands in a solvent. That's not very good for long term exposure.
Hello! Thank you for your concerns. For the harsher chemicals, they do wear gloves, however, most of the time, they prefer handling the dial restoration without them 🙂
Also the small luminous dots where either radium or tritium. You don’t want that permeating your skin after being dissolved in that liquid! At least it would be good if you used nitrile gloves which are thin but still protective. Take care!
Time is a dead god Cronus 🌹🌚👍 Rest in the good news 🌹 Okay bye
powder is vim
Creo que este video está sobreactuado. No veo la necesidad de un proceso tan largo y repetitivo para restau una pieza tan pequeña. Por supuesto, esto sirve para que la gente crea que el precio es alto porque el trabajo es mucho.

Ridiculous number of steps. Seems to be edited out of sequence.
