Restoration of the Pulp Fiction Gold-Watch | WW1 Military Trench Watch Lancet
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 20 ก.ย. 2024
- This time I´m restoring a World War 1 Military Trench Watch made by Lancet.
The watch become famous as Butch Coolidge (played by Bruce Willis) worn it in the movie "Pulp Fiction".
This watch is powered by the Adolph Michel 220 hand-wind-movement. Dial and hands are painted with radioactive radium to let it glow in the dark.
This watch is in a really bad condition. The gold-case has tarnished and is heavily scratched, one of the case-lugs is broken, the glass and the sub-second hand is missing, the hour- and minute-hand is corroded and the movement doesn´t work.
I need to make a new lug and solder it on the case with some silver-solder.
After sanding and polishing the case, the bezel is ready for a new gold-plating.
I´m removing the radioactive radium of the dial and the hands, after re-bluing the hands i can add some new non-radioactive luminous-color to them.
I need to replace some parts of the movement to make it running again.
After everything is cleaned, polished and re-plated, I can re-assemble the movement with some fresh oil. After that, this watch is in a fantastic beat (+2 seconds per day) again.
I hope you liked this restoration, if so, like, comment and subscribe ;)

How to reduce more radiation from the watch?
For the finale you should have demoed how to hide the watch.
@@Iiheosnjabskidbxbd Wait 50,000 years.
I have my grandfathers old pocket watch I would like to have restored. I'm not even sure how to message you directly, but if this is possible, please let me know.
You can make the hair line cracks on the dial disappear with some Comet Ultra Bathroom cleaner and some water. Let it sit in a cup for a while or place it on your refrigerator. The low vibrations will losen up the grime in the cracks and you can wash the dirt away
Very impressive, especially considering where that watch has been!
No exposure to air, so it would be well preserved 🤣
JAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJ
@@KingTrump2024 no air but lots of gas.
Consider it is radioactive too.. poor bastards 🤣🤣
LOL
I don’t know what’s more impressive, the watch or the fact somebody still owns a DVD player in 2022
😅 to be fair... It's a blu ray player 😁
Send my regards to Butch, he is sure to appreciate all the work you did to restore his late father's watch.
That's a splendid watch. Seeing you bring it back to such a fine state of health is very satisfying.
Это вторые получается.
Great technique for blueing! Love the prep for that homogeneous blueing and super fast oil dip! And the fourth wheel pivot alignment with that amazing tool! Great piece. Thanks for making this video, really enjoyed it. Cheers!
Thanks 😊
Great job. Ever try putting those porcelain dials in the ultrasound machine for a 30 seconds? It will bounce the dirt right out of the hairline cracks and you won't see them. Give it a shot on a test pocket watch dial and see what I mean.
It’s amazing all the steps involved and the variety of tools and knowledge you use. As always very high production values in the video. Thanks for this. I had the same question about jewels as mihai but will check the link you provided.
I think I have the same watch ...or a very similar one... So thanks for the information about the model...and that restoration was astonishing!
The dome on that crystal is epic.
You have the hands of a surgeon, and the mind of a mechanic. Very well done.
I wish I had a coil spring install tool for small engine recoil string starters. I love watching classy vods like this
I love watching this channel. The science he brings makes it so cool to watch! Plus his restoration of what he’s working on comes out fantastic. He’s not your normal watch service channel. Also his tools he uses are so cool to watch and see how they perform to fix the broken or bent parts that are completely non existent to purchase. True craftsman here.
As a Army Vet this is absolutely breathtaking especially at the end the heart beat !! Awesome video! 👍🏼
I'm a Medical Doctor... I wish I knew how to fix my patients the way this guy fixes watches.
That’s the scariest things I’ve read today.
Every single time I watch a video of yours I am amazed. It’s like watch Michelangelo paint the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel. I’m truly blown away by your expertise.
It's amazingly solid my brother 👍👍👍 greetings to arsenio the traditional gold seeker from Indonesia ️🇮🇩🇮🇩⚒️⛏️⚒️🙏🙏🤝❤️🌹☕🔥👈🙋🙏
My jaw almost dropped when you started playing the JHS Pedals song. Absolute perfection.
First time I watched this I didn’t catch the “uncomfortable hunk of metal” line
This time I did!!!! Genius!
The process of making the hands blue was awesome
When it comes to restoring watches you Sir are the master hands down.
Wow absolutely stunning. All that hard work paid off. Always happy to see when you finish another watch my friend!
Thanks mate 😊
I can't believe he learned all this and he's 27 years old. Crazy.
@@LaurenMiddleton28 who says I'm 27? 😁
@@RedDeadRestoration . I read it in 1 of your older video Comments that someone wrote. I should have figured it was BS. 😂 How old are you?
@@LaurenMiddleton28 33 currently 😉
I read about these metods to restore a watch, but i don t seen until now. Is amazing, i have no words... In my country, i think that no one do this kind of things anymore. Not even the watchmen who work on clock importer maintenance, i mean those who must services new buy watches.
This is the G O A T youtube video…Absolutely the best, an iconic watch, peerless repair encompassing Machining, Hard Soldering, micrometer precision…and a restoration ALL AT ONCE…Thank You for your sharing this, and have a blessed day
Thanks 😊
@@RedDeadRestoration ni de
Great film, great scene, gorgeous restoration 👍
Hope this one doesn't need to be hidden in that place 😎
I love those trench watches. Happy to see one brought back to it´s former glory.
This is one of the coolest watches you’ve done so far!
Absolutely beatiful watch. Magnifique travail. Merci
What a pleasure. Funky editing ("pock pock pock pock"). And what a relief to have no commentary - there's so much yackity-yack on you TH-cam. Thank you.
I really love watching old broken things get put back together. I subscribe to a few channels but I have to say your your work is on another level.
Wonderful to watch you work. Stunning result. Thank you
To me as a watch enthusiast but a complete layman with regard to watchmaking this seems like pure magic. Respect!
Pineapple socks is the best but😂 seriously another skill level, this is a proper restoration!
Love military watches era! Love this Lancet, great job man!!!!!
I can watch this forever I appreciate your editing so much makes the video so much more cinematic and entertaining
Always love the sock shot.
Incredible craftsmanship. Beautiful job sir. 👍🙂
Incredible restoration job, truly bringing history back to life! 🕰️
Such a great movie. It brought me here and the love of watches.
Incredible job. From a damaged and bad piece of work. To a beautiful example of the watchmakers art.
Craftsmanship and artistry combined with amazing cinematography.......! There is no match for this channel on TH-cam. Thank you for your dedication to incredible entertainment..
Smooth operation and soothing to watch. And also when you go for cleaning the parts I always think they’re huge containers . Then your hands come into frame and brings the perspective back!
Meanwhile people in 1910s: I’m radioactive, radioactive!!
It's always a pleasure to watch a true craftsman. You're the Norm Abraham's/Ed China of watch restoration. ❤
Great. Always the most exciting moment is when the balancing wheel is installed and the watch starts running. Special thanks for the socks.
Maybe the biggest and best comeback watch yet. I'd have never imagined you could bring it back that far. Excellent video!
Wow that really is a birthright to pass on to the next generation , love your videos
Much respect for the skill and patience needed to to this type of work.
Your videos are ASMR. The thought and attention to detail you provide is unparalleled. Perhaps the only channel I do not skip forward a few seconds throughout montages and panning sequences. Thank you for providing genuine entertainment amongst a platform of shock culture influencers.
What are you on to come to that conclusion.
4.20 V, i see what you did there!
Awesome restoration!
So relaxing to watch the master!
This is the watch that got me interested in watches. Loved the movie, really loved the watch, and this video is was just absolutely perfect.
When I saw the pulp fiction case I pushed like button immediately, grate work.
Oh, and sick skills and eyesight. Help or not, from someone that could paint a fraction of a millimeter down the face of a40k orc for tribal markings, impressive.
Bị nghiện bài này từ thời Bảo Thy, ko ngờ lại có ngày được nghe idol mới trong lòng mình Đức Phúc cover lại. Cảm ơn em ĐP vì đã cover lại lắng đọng cảm xúc như vậy
I couldnt' do this hobby, I don't have the personality for it-which makes these videos for me all the more amazing and enjoyable to watch. I consider what you're doing to be more of a "highwire stunt" than a skill, it's a form of mastery of something SUUUUPER hard. Anyway. Well done!
Your skill is beyond! I’m blown away…
Mesmerizing. You are a proper craftsman. And the narration-free video put my six week old to sleep, cheers!
Now that was a job !!! Loved it !!!!
There really is nothing better. The machines and equipment he used are all great. and he does it very patiently. I enjoyed watching.
You only think you've skill until you watch something like this. Truly amazing work
This is the 1st watch restoration I have ...watched.
Very interesting 👌
Now THAT'S a watch worth going back to get!
Incredible. I wonder how many people could do this. Not many. Bravo.
That was the best restoration I have seen in my life. Just unbelievable skills from RDR, fantastic video and I want to watch it again to get all the details.
I have just watched Pulp Fiction for the very first time today , Christopher Walkens watch speech is a classic , as is the watch and your restoration.. what a great day 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻🤓🙏🏻
Totally agree!

Beautiful job. It's a pleasure to watch something like this.
OK, the part where you re-blued the hands was super cool!
Your tools and the way taht you use it
Amazing!
You sir are a true artisan of your craft all the specialized tools and your knowledge is very impressive a joy to watch you work
Thank you very much!
Skill. Skill. Skill. The transformation is superb. Always look forward to your videos. Thank you.
Das Bläuen der Zeiger habe ich nie gesehen, Danke!
Tolles Ergebnis auf der Zeitwaage- das zu sehen hatte ich mir auch gewünscht. Sehr gutes Video!

Thanks ☺️
nice job. Thanks for showing how the Jacot tool is used.
Walken would be proud!
Very nice. Always a pleasure watching a real craftsman and I love that movie. Not a watch that I find appealing but it's pure cult.
So 'ne ruhige Hand hätt' ich auch gern..
Klasse Arbeit.
Great restoration. In 1969 Pleiku I wore a ten dollar Times on a big wide hippie band ❤
Another awesome restoration! Well worth the wait.⌚️❤️👍
