Thanks you lovely people, and keep on tinkering!
glad i found this before scuffing the entire back of mine trying to pry it off, I bought mine because it was cute and small, if it runs or not doesn't really matter to me, but now I know I don't have the right batteries for it anyway. Thanks for this!
OMG i bought the same one today and it was not working so i was trying to find out how to fix it what are the odds of
edited: but mine only cost 2 dollars
Got the same one only the front on mine is a ribcage. Really cool!

As soon as you see that is says *Quarts* you know it is not a good watch.
Fixed a pocket watch
Proud of myself
Good job!
@@backofficeshow I mean I did just get the battery out and put it a new one but thanks
It was not working before, and it's working now. That's as good as you can get 😂
@@backofficeshow yes
I don't even know how to open it without damaging the whole thing, your lucky!
❤️ Haha you are such a Legend! Perfect!
no battery in mine....can't wind. ..real cheap...lol
i have the same pocket watch but i cant figure out how to get mine to work. i think it might just be the battery but not 100% sure
Hello, can you make a video teaching how to take off the front part?
I m the type to ruin the next day You a God send.mate God bless. I luv you as a man Christian
Cool that it works - but boy does it need a clean!
Shall I scrub off the fake patina?
The Backoffice There parts that look like bronze and some parts that look like pewter. Just looks a bit grubby to me.
I bought one of these $2 pocketwatches recently too for work, cause i didn't want to ruin my more expensive ones.
I stripped it, soaked it in nailpolish remover to get the coating off, and polished it with brasso, it actually looks pretty fancy now.
And it doesn't painfully obviously look like a standart Chinese watch anymore at glance.
I remember doing the same once many years ago to a break barrel air rifle. The butt was terribly painted but actually really good wood underneath that just needed a little oil 😂
FairFight14 i’ve got the same one it needs a clean a little bit but not much i’ve cleaned mine it made a difference but not massively.
Ah thanks have the same exact one hahah
Nice fix ^_^
+Jikyuu nice and simple!
can you repair my pocket watch?
Probably not
By the looks of it, you can use this video as a general guide to what could be some quick fixes
I got one from a market for the equivalent of £4
(but it’s like 40 of whatever currency I decided to pay with)
