Restoration of a Police Officer´s Gold Watch - 1940´s Bulova Excellency

- This time I´m restoring a Bulova Excellency from the 1940´s. It´s powered by the Bulova 7AA Caliber. I got this watch from one of my biggest fans and supporters. He got this watch from his dad (a police officer in Clarksville) and all watchmakers refused to repair it... until now.
Case and Glass are scratched, dial and the hands are corroded and the movement is running wild.
I hope you liked this restoration, if so, like, comment and subscribe ;)

It may be a biased opinion but I dare say one of the best restorations so far!
Thanks mate 😊👍 it was a pleasure to work on that watch, hope you like the result even when it's back with you ⌚
Agree!! 👍🏻🤠
Нет не самая лудшая , он цыферблат не смог отреставрировать .
New to this channel bro? 😊
😊❤😊❤😊❤😊
Although frustrating for the owner, I'm glad that the other shops refused to work on it, so that we all had the chance to see you work your magic on it! You did great honor to his father -- well done, and thank you!
I have a similar watch, an Elgin, that other watchmakers have refused to work on. It's a shame that something could survive this long, yet be considered "useless".
Speedy I'm sure you noticed the equipment involved! IF the shops you went to had that equipment,they would have to charge You quite a bit! They simply don't Care to or can't go to the Expense!
@@davidcrandall4958well said and I agree
I never saw in my life, someone more professional than you. No matter what level you beat or who. You have all my respect .
My uncle gave me the exact same watch back in the late sixties. I still have it. Had it cleaned up in the late eighties. Still runs. I will keep it forever.
In a world where mediocrity and incompetence are everywhere, these videos, with their exactness and professionalism, are like a fascinating ray of light.
Kudos!
Thanks 😊
Especially with the Christmas socks
chill man, he is just repairing watches
@@RedDeadRestoration Hello, there is an old Bulova pocket watch that looks golden, and I want to check if it is original or not. It looks like a wonderful masterpiece. How do I contact you to send you pictures?
@@petrub27And What are you? A Nuclear physicist?
Very impressive use of alien technologies to bring this masterpiece back.
Absolutely amazing..it's Bulova time..
It's nice that there are people like you who keep important cultural assets alive for posterity. Thank you.😊😊
+6 seconds/day and zero beat error on an 80 year old watch? That's....damn awesome!
You are truly a talented person. I'm at awe at how you worked your repair magic.
Фантастическое удовольствие, наблюдать за работой мастера, настоящего профессионала! 100/100!
Whoever this guy is, he is a master watchmaker, incredible
Just wonderful. Thank you for your precision and care for something that is timeless and has so much sentiment attached to it. In a world where we throw away so much, it is heartening to see you restore so many things to their former beauty.
First time seeing an original Bulova USA movement. My first Bulova is the 98A255 field watch, Miyota movement. Now u made me believe that indeed Bulova is one of the best watch maker from USA. Thank u👍
The scale of this just blows me away.
Its so tiny, my mind has a hard time wrapping my head around it!
what a wonderfull video! When I tell flea market watch sellers that push filthy nonworking watches on me and say I sold my Equipment and, they say "All you need is a couple of Screwdrivers And some oil and grease" I laugh!
This is all very expensive equipment!
The flux capasitor treatment was awesome haha
Very good restoration of USA 🇺🇸 Bulova . This watch was famous at that time, as one other company “Cyma”” produced similar watch design & still it is with me & working accurately.
I recently found a Bulova accutron 10KT rolled gold watch at a yard sale.
Невероятное терпение и такой кропотливый труд! 👏 Bravo!
I love how you use the old faces vs. getting new ones. Awesome little detail!
Refuse to repair = too lazy to repair. Great video work!
Flux Capacitor!! 😅😅😅
Awesome.
That soothes my mind. Brings me away from the mayhem these days. Appreciate the good. And on top of all, this is my absolutely favored design for wrist watches. Square, real numbers (Ziffern). No Schnickschnack. Classic. Thank you for preserving this precious.
I notice you didn't, Re dial the watch ,BRAVO!!!
I like that you/customer kept the dial display intact. Nice patina
That was great! It's so nice you can restore these beautiful old timepieces.
Beautiful restoration.
Watching your work (restoration and video production) is like therapy. Thank you!
And if you think this was hard imagine what skills needed to build it in the 1st place. Simply amazing. I am a PE and I am amazed.
Young boy ,brilliant work.
I feel like the little bit of patina left on the dial just completes the whole look. It's like seeing just a little bit of this watch's history on display, and I think there's something beautiful about that.
I believe that he actually replaced the dial with another one, without the crack. It’s the only point of critique I have on this otherwise amazingly produced video. I’d rather see the old dial in.
A beautiful timepiece restored, a family regains an heirloom. Thank you
A wonderful restoration of this lovely old Bulova watch, the owner will be so greatful of your amazing skills restoring it. Thank You 👍 Au
This is the next level of professionalism ..... Is there any kind of equipment not in this workshop! Just wow 👌 👏.....
Well done restoration of a vintage Bulova! Really appreciate your skills.
Beautiful! Putting the watch on a cheese grater was very imaginative and what an amazing effect!
😂
I own a 1931 Longines Tank watch that appears very similar.... amazing detail.
I found your channel watching red dead 2 videos ❤😂
She is absolute gorgeous and your work outstanding…. Respect
Bravo. Wonderful work my friend.
The text "Bulova Excellency" on the old dial definitely looked like a redial to me. Beautiful little movement though, and awesome results.
A well experienced technician. Congratulations
Truly exquisite.
Chef kiss on that patina, right? I was stationed at Ft. Campbell so Clarksville is home. Amazing resto and watch.
I enjoy every moment! Snowstorm lol
09:50 : just perfect ! (even more than the socks ! :)
Beautiful watch and beautiful restoration. I enjoyed every second.
Just beautiful That watch was a corroded mess. The case restoration was excellent but getting the movement to that level of accuracy with no beat error is nothing short of magical. Fantastic work!
What a WONDERFUL watch and what a WONDERFUL restoration...!!! Red Dead... you outdid yourself...
👍👏Excellent restoration, bravo. They look like an eight-day fireplace clock of the early twentieth century.
Love the fact that there's just enough patina and history left in the watch to show its age.
Really nice. Clarksville is only thirty miles from me and was my paternal grandmother’s home. Awesome restoration
Such a beautiful watch, restored by a master craftsman.
I don’t know much about watches but I would say that that was one well made time piece in it’s time. I like it’s simplicity in design and quality.
❤️🇬🇧 well restored!
Just a follow-up on my previous review..in that this is a fabulous job on restoring this 1940' Bulova... Im sure he, the family are so pleased with the outcome. Great work, cleaning all the parts and making it run once again as it should.
I like your socks... and your work too.

I love these more "ordinary" watch restorations you do. I like the fact there is no commentary just great filming. Mesmerising.
1A very nice complete job of restoration. Thank you!
В фильме"Скорость"из подаренных наручных часов сделали детонатор для бомбы.Символично.
Beautiful great jop you the best master congratulations
I have to say that I thoroughly enjoy watching your restorations, it must be so satisfying to take something that is in such ill repair and bring it back to an as new condition, superb craftmanship !!!
I never tire from the sock shots ❤
Beautiful watch, and amazing restoration ! Well done indeed.
Every time I watch your videos I’m impressed by how good you are.
Precise and detailed restoration, piece by piece. Excellent presentation
It seems that this was a lot of work. Beautifully done.
Beautiful Art Deco styling, what a stunning watch. Bravo.
Your work is fantastic. The level of skill is just something else . Really look forward to your stuff.
BEST RESTORATION I HAVE SEEN......EXCELLENT PHOTOGRAPHY...ENJOYABLE TO WATCH...
You really set the standard for photography
maybe one of my favorite restoration of yours so far. well done for such a beautiful watch.
To watch excellent job like this is like meditation ! It brings peacefulness and satisfaction.
How a police officer can afford gold watch?! Honest work no doubt 😂 . Great restoration btw !
Isn't this like a standard retirement gift for police officers? Every old cop in movies seems to have one.
An absolutley beautiful job, Sir. Another one brought bad from horological oblivion. Thanks for sharing. From UK.
That's so amazing to look at :) Bravo
Absolutely impressive
Time Travel is the best part in most of the sessions
Magnificent craftsmanship
Beautiful restoration, each one you do has a different vibe. Always enjoy watching, best, William
One hell of a restoration BRO.Keep the great work up.👌👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Можно было бы, и было бы ЭТО замечательно, в конце ролика вставить маленький фидео отчет от хозяина часов - как ОТРЕМОНТИРОВАННЫЕ часы на руке себя ведут. В данном видео смотрелось было классно видео руки полицейского на фоне его патрульного авто !!!
It would be possible, and it would be THIS wonderful, to insert a small fideo report from the owner of the watch at the end of the video - how the REPAIRED watch behaves on the hand. In this video, it looked cool video of the policeman's hand against the background of his patrol car !!!
Thats a nice idea 😁
@@RedDeadRestoration
Эту идею можно воплотить дополнительно в мини видео роликах Ютуб шортс, когда отреставрированные часы будут у заказчика и он пришлёт маленький видеоотчёт - просто часы на руке на каком либо интересном фоне или достопримечательности его региона. Для нас подписчиков и просто многочисленных зрителей будет дополнительная положительная эмоция.
This idea can be implemented additionally in CZcams Shorts mini-videos, when the restored watch is at the customer's disposal and he sends a small video report - just a watch on his hand against some interesting background or sights of his region. For us subscribers and simply numerous viewers there will be an additional positive emotion.
Excellent job superb.😍😍
