You really shouldn't have touched that watch... only basic service. It has great patina and you ruined it with new set of hands and mov. Basically you did a franken watch. Put original parts in and have a great original watch with history and usage.
Hello mate yes I agree and I normally try keep my restorations original as seen in my other videos, I bought this watch for its patina, it came from the Philippine's so the movement was a rusted mess and beyond saving as were the hands so thought it was a good opportunity to try the upgrade and give it a new lease on life. In the future if I get a set of old but usable hands I may put a 7000 movement back in.
@@120CLICKS66 Oh, I guess I missed the first 15 sec of the video. Your video is fine and you brought that watch back to life, but... This is the example of how not to do a restoration... you know it, I know it... everybody knows it. The only ones defending this are the people You supposed to educate how to do a proper restauration. If the watch is beyond repair... than it's gone. I just saw Caseback Watches channel where his viewer send him vintage Omega Speedy from the 60's for review. Guess what, the case is wrong, the back is wrong, mov is fine but how did he fit that into a case? If he sells that watch as a speedy to someone, it would be a fraud. So this is... kind of a bad comment, but it is what it is.
I saw one of those watches about a week ago.
I did a skx009 with a nh35 movement upgraded.
An excellent upgrade for a great watch.

If you just watched even the first 15 seconds of the video you would hear him say the "movement is beyond servicing."
