Broken Cartier from eBay - Vintage Cartier Tank Restoration for less than $1,000
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 27 июл 2023
- I´ve bought this Cartier Tank from eBay for $680 - let´s see if I can restore it and get a Cartier watch for less than $1,000.
This Cartier Tank is powered by the Cartier 120 Caliber (based on the ETA 2000-1). With 19,4mm in diameter, this is one of the tiniest movements I´ve serviced so far.
This watch is in a really bad condition. The case is badly worn, the glass is broken, the dial is dirty and the movement doesn´t work at all.
I hope you liked this restoration, if so, like, comment and subscribe ;)

You, sir are both an artist and a surgeon. As the owner of a vintage Cartier tank I cannot tell you how much I enjoyed watching this, and how now, more than ever I appreciate the craftsmanship that goes into making these watches.
My absolute favorite watch. When my father died it was the only thing of his that I actually wanted because he had gotten it during the war and wore it for 40 + years, but it mysteriously "disappeared" at the hospital where he was at the end, and it was literally the only thing I wanted, everything else went to my sister. I have looked at tanks since then but they are just simply too expensive for me. Watching you rebuild this was incredibly satisfying and beautiful and it brought back many beautiful memories of my father. Thank you
Hey there, everything looked great except for the zebra strap. I personally think black leather would have been a better choice.
Anything but zebra strap would have been better looking 😮
Agreed!
Yes such a gorgeous watch with a tacky bracelet
@@jarozlawus you prove the point, just anything looks better than zebra strap 😁
Please not that strap
My grandpa gifted this me 4 years back.Your restorations are worth watching. Love from India 💙
Really
Entha ayindi bro Mee tatha gariki
Hope it running..and that you're wearing it...
@@sasi9285 Pardon
@@jatco84 Yeah i serviced it last month at banglore and its running fine. But I only wear this for any occasions.
Utterly fascinating. Not only do you have amazingly steady hands but you must have a phenomenal memory to remember where each part goes and the order of assembly. Truly engrossing to watch. Bravo!
Nicely done! The sound was delicious when you showed the reassembled train wheels spinning freely.
Hi Mike!
@@IShootWatches hi Dayton! Lol, I thought that was Mr. Red Dead saying hi. I haven't heard from him in a while.
Genius... I especially like the Flux capacitor part of your footage.. 🤣
As a fellow watchmaker who spent his fair time restoring watches like this I must say outstanding job! My only criticism would be that you went a bit heavy on the case, working with sandpaper fixed to a plain piece of wood like you did with the crown probably would have allowed you to keep more of the shape and make it less „round“ but otherwise like I said, outstanding job!
Thanks mate 😊
@@adriantch6692 your comment is the only overdone thing. lol
I was crying when he was "polishing" the case. He rounded off all the corners and edges, made it look like a cheap copy.
Great work done. And I love to see this channel grow. More over I have an Omega vantage Automatic for sale 1972, Anyone interested can should let me know. I’m in Dubai. 😊
There goes your chamfers!@@csanadbarczy9153
It's pure pleasure to watch your videos. Everything looks so easy but I know it's not.
Really enjoyed that. I liked the way you showed the examination. I was even pleased with myself when I made the diagnosis at that time, and later on, you demonstrated I was right. I'm getting more knowledgeable! Your videos are excellent for instruction. Thank you.
Another amazing restoration. And gotta praise the video production quality as well with those macro shots and editing. Always a pleasure to watch your videos.
That was an amazing restoration. Love when you carefully assemble everything together and restore the watch back to its full glory . The meticulousness of it all, and the craftsmanship. Honestly, such a joy to watch
This is so smooth and calm I fell asleep in between many a times! Dude if you’re selling these stuff please let us know. I’d be down to purchase!
Oh damn, that's a Cartier 120..... a beautiful restoration, great skill.
I assume someone from Elma has finally reached out about sponsorship for your channel?
Amazing video as always my friend.
Also... That watch band 🤯
I just wanted to take a moment to say how amazing your video was! I was really impressed with the quality of the footage, the editing, and the overall presentation. You did a great job of explaining the topic in a clear and concise way, and I learned a lot from watching your video.
I also really appreciated the way you made the video engaging and entertaining. You kept my attention throughout the entire video, and I never felt bored or lost. I would definitely recommend your video to anyone who is interested in learning more about the video.
Thanks again for making such a great video! I look forward to watching more of your content in the future.
PS: I outsourced this feedback to AI.
Amazing work, turning that little gem into glory again! Thanks for sharing with us...
Questi non sono semplici lavori...ma assoluti capolavori di maestria, un fantastico viaggio di 21 minuti e 11 secondi ..Grandi complimenti e saluti dall' Italia 🇮🇹
In realtà è più difficile trovare un Cartier a quel prezzo 😂
Love the level of professionalism- have watched quite a few of your videos. What most do not comment is your sense of humour and use of camera angles- all fantastic
Wow,beautiful restoration. Might be worth sourcing a new crown with the beautiful blue orb. Would go nicely with the strap.
Every restoration you do is better than the last. This Cartier Tank is beautiful. Also, liking your socks, looking forward each episode for the quick shot of the socks. I missed my chance to work at Hamilton in Lancaster PA, having retired from the military a bit too late.
I think this is one of the most satisfying jobs in the world. Well done!!
I enjoy all your restoration videos. The humor with the flux capacitor to the quality of the videos themselves. Its exciting to see what you'll come with next!
Love it.. Such a great restoration on a classic piece...Looks fabulous, especially the new strap. Superb addition to the restoration. Kudos
A beautiful watch restoration!! You are so smooth and precise. And you have some of the craziest socks!! Always love seeing them!!😊
What a nice restoration ! Each step are perfect and final result is stunning ! Accuracy is ✨! Thank you for sharing always happy to follow your channel ! 🙏
Absolutely exquisite!! As always, your workmanship is second to none. Great job!!
Workpersonship.
Wow, what a transformation, the strap was a nice touch.
Un vero maestro!!! Complimenti per la professionalità! Un restauro impeccabile e un orologio bellissimo!!!
Another ASMR masterpiece, and the RDR strap is outstanding.
Yah!
I seen your PRO clocks fix and i can say only wow!!
Excellent work!
😊
Excellent. Amazing how you remember where all of the parts go back together again.
Very nice restoration. The inside looked pretty clean compared to the outside, which was a good thing. 🙂 I noticed the adjustment screw for regulating the watch... I wish all watches had that compared to those imprecise, hard-to-adjust levers.
This is so amazing!! I want this watch 😂!!!
Great you saved it. - Originally only the sides of this case were polished, the rest was brushed. All polished case on the precious metal versions.
Amazing restoration as usual. You must be so pleased with it.
Amazing job, as usual! You should totally do a giveaway one of these days.
Maybe on 1 million subs? 😁
Very relaxing to watch and a great job bringing it back to life. Cheers
Как надо было носить эти часы, что-бы довести их до такого состояния? Работа, как всегда, на отлично!
Сам думаю об этом. Но люди разные. Мало ли чем мог заниматься человек...
The fact that you have a Cartier for under $1,000 is incredible, let alone a Tank Française.
Excellent work, as always.
Another amazing restoration. Nothing Dead about these watches you give them new life.
Absolutely excellent. As usual Sir. Congratulations.
Excellent work, and a beautiful restoration!
As always, excellent work!!! Watched your old videos, since then the equipment class has grown significantly!
Nice timepiece. Great restoration . Plain soft black strap, for my tastes.
Case restoration is what makes this channel my favorite
Nice job. Much will that retail for now?
Not a big fan of the straps, tbh I would have gone a straight swap brown for brown.
What a lovely watch, never get old this design
Oh I know my weekend is going to start great when red uploads
That's a awesome watch. Nice job on the fix of it
Magnificent work on the restoration.
Another amazing video. Keep up the great work 😄
Absolute soul restoration, keep on bro👍🏼
Good call on the strap. That is perfect.
Utterly brilliant! Well done, AGAIN!
Amazing as usual. Both skills and production. Class fair play.
My silver watch Nika looks like Cartier Tank. And I'm very glad see your work! Thanx!
Mais um lindo trabalho... Parabéns!!!
I find these videos so unbelievably relaxing. Top one. Nice one. Get sorted! 😎
Thanks 👍
Stunning work.
Such a beautiful watch. Thank you for sharing, maestro.
That accuracy of 2 seconds is amazing
Impressive work on the restoration, can't wait to see the end result! 😊
Watching from Marikina City, Philippines
Amazing work. They’re a great looking watch, I’m tempted to get one.
watch less than $1,000.... Tools more than $20,000..... nice work!
I’ll bet that new face and crystal cost a pretty penny. Beautiful restoration.👍🏻👍🏻
Man! You have a tool for everything. The Crown tube removal. Incredible work as always, you are truly a master! Always a pleasure to watch !
I've always watched your videos and always slept in the middle of the video at night, it's truly great 😂😂
really great, great camera, good cut, interesting quality work, I'm thrilled, always enjoy watching, fascinating, bravo and thank you...❗️❗️❗️👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks 😊

Gorgeous watch. Nice job!
Отличная работа, спасибо автору. Не увидел, сколько же стоил ремешок на часы.
I think you are spot on. I like the fun element of it. And if I’m ever near a swatch shop I will have a look and may even buy one. Even if it only lasts 6 months
Nice timepiece. Great restoration
Gran restauración y bonito reloj
Thought you might bring the dial back to life! So sad
Beautiful work!
Beautiful movement, Beautiful watch.
Still a very cool time piece, well worth the effort. Nice work!
Looks so good together with this stripe:) super good!
Stunning, great work
