Longines Restoration - A Fallschirmjäger's Golden Gift
This time I restore a beautiful, and somewhat weirdly designed, Flagship watch by Longines. The watch has recently spent several years trapped behind a chest freezer but was eventually rediscovered by an old British Army colleague of mine, Sandy Carrick-Buchanan.

*********************************************************
Sandy received this impressively finished Longines Flagship from his Godfather who was a German gentleman called William (Wilhelm) Suckro. William had served as a Fallschirmjäger in World War Two, had been captured and ended up living his post war life in Scotland.
The Longines Calibre 340 in this Flagship model has many design approaches which are different from other watches of the period and in these video I show each of these.
Music is from the CZcams Audio Library

I Blew Up A Dive Watch!

www.majorwatches.co.uk/product/major-sea-wolf-original-black/ This time I show how, during my endeavours to create a good quality but affordable Dive Watch, I ended up exploding a Dive Watch in the pressure testing tank. The video tells the story of how I created my SEA WOLF Watch and the theory behind the pressure testing of a dive watch. It also shows what happens when a watch fails the test ...

By luck I heard the mainspring on this clock the moment it snapped. It was as if the clock was crying out to me for help. So in this video you see the repair and restoration of the clock and the cal...

    great video, 😉looks like you lost all the numbers on the bottom chronograph dial perhaps it's the way the light was hitting the dial. 😱 also, i kept hearing a loud ticking noise like a really loud clock or a super loud quartz watch in the background, perhaps it's just me. 🙄the kind of ticking that an old world 💣would make.🤭😂

    I came from the classic car world before entering watchmaking so maybe I approach things a bit differently but for rusty movements like this, after I remove the calendar disk I'd soak the entire movement in evaporust 24-48 hours before even attempting disassembly. It is not acidic like vinegar and will not harm the rhodium plating, which gives the best possible chance of disassembly without broken screws or other parts. I wish I could convey this to all professional watchmakers.

    Hi, this is one excellent video on g10. A question: I have one G10 with an acrylic crystal (CWC), is it possible to replace it with a sapphire one? If so, can you please show how, or just point me where to get sapphire crystal which would fit, it would make one already excellent watch a true masterpiece. Thanks.

    Hi Richard, I've recently inherited my Father's Logine watch and can't find the exact model online. It was his everyday watch so somehow we never talked about it, only his other 2 Omega watches. But I chose the Longines one which looks like the one in yiur video with a separate second hand (sundial?) Any info gratefully received 👍

    Thanks for the video, but I really can't believe that you didn't have the patience needed to release that rusted screw the second time. Penetrating oil soak, and a soldering iron would have given you what you wanted.

    Why would you wear a watch like this on a work site, more money then sense that’s for sure

  • @trevorhare9393
    @trevorhare9393 Před 16 dny

    Well now, on the strength of this review alone, i have just ordered one from Casio UK. They offered a 10 percent discount voucher. (I’d rather get one direct from the company than via an amazon or ebay 3rd party trader.) i realised that everything i have in the house - with a clock - is a computer or iPhone or iPad. There is a clock on the gas cooker but it’s cumbersome to drag it around when the internet is down or the phone needs charging or there’s a power cut. I can’t see any reason to spend more. (Not until I win a Euromillions jackpot anyway!)

  • @DeadlyDigger
    @DeadlyDigger Před 16 dny

    I’m just curious if there is a watch repair that has ever really challenged you, seems this one was a little too easy for you. One thing that always amazes me is despite how difficult it is working on a watch, the videography of the repair is exceptional. Really feels like I’m there with you looking over you shoulder.
