  • This time I am restoring a golden Breitling from the 1950s. The glass is broken, the case is covered in scratches, the gold plating is damaged and yet the watch is still running.

    There was a moment early on in the video when you were disassembling the watch and you were removing parts but springs were still moving. It reminded me of when the Japanese I think it is, cut up live fish for a customer and the disembodied fish is still moving when parts of it are being served. Good to see the socks are back as appalling as they have always been. 🙂
