    Most watchmakers would say restoring this watch is a waste of time given the quality of the movement and the state of the case. I really like that you take your time to restore in such detail and with such care a "hopeless" watch.

      That’s the great thing about acrylic (plastic) “crystal”; it scratches easily but is even easier to make it look better than new again!
      (It’s also much more shatter resistant, hence it being used on the Apollo missions in case of failure)
      Edit: Finally got to that part; saw what you mean!

    These older pin pallet non-jewelled movements can be a devil to work on but you made it look easy with your methodical approach and attention to detail. Especially liked the crystal and crown restoration as others would have discarded these and replaced with new but you went to the trouble or restoring them and thus keeping as much of the originality of the watch as possible which is so important. Really great work.👍

  • @gromit1996
    @gromit1996 2 года назад +2

    This was so beautifully done. Thanks for showing all the amazing steps. Some would argue that re-chroming the case is the wrong move, but in this case I think it is exactly correct in that we know it's an old watch. The dial tells the story. The case needed to be redone to keep this piece serviceable for the future, imo. Great work! I love your tools and bench and that restored cleaning machine is amazing.

    First of all that was fantastic work you shown there. Loved the camera angles on some of the shots. Proof that an old pin pallet can still get done love and was a decent trace on the TG.
    I really need to get into plating my last eat video I have threatened to do it so will be looking for similar liquids as yours !
    I did think the mainspring looked set and possibly warped and not sure why you oiled thr bottom of the barrel like that . Never seen it done before. If it’s not an auto I don’t oil at all.

    outstanding skill & knowledge. I'm just wondering if polishing out the scratches etc, actually devalue the watch. I was asked to restore a victorian table, clean up all the knocks & scratches, then apply new french polish. I told the customer that it would seriously devalue it so he went off to think about it. Met him a few months later , said " I checked it out with 2 auctioneers , & told me that they agreed with me".. he said that he has the table with all the historical knocks & scratches & a conversational piece + valuable.... This chap has brilliant talent & skill with watches. You can only advise the customer. 👍👏

  • @markiobook8639
    @markiobook8639 Год назад +3

    I particularly loved this one- it was not only a masterpiece of horology, but it had pathos and not nostalgia- but something like reflective melancholy. You start thinking not only of the man who wore this watch, but what he did- who did he kill, who killed him and in my humble opinion- the Russian Weltverdrossenheit or is this correct "mirovaya pechal" that war is the source of deep , traumatic sadness. Prayers to those all known only to God.
