- In this video I make a restoration of Century old (~100 year) rusted Omega watch. The watch was dead when it came, not running, all of the rusted pivots have jammed it.
I saw this vintage Omega watch at an online auction (sold in my town), it didn't look that special, old Omega watch with oxidized silver casing, nothing to brag about. But…when I came home and opened it, it looked almost like new! It hasn't been used that much for 100 years!

I polished the silver casing but just did a light one, the backside just with a swipe with a towel so the texture doesn’t get damaged.
About the hour hand that is cracked, it sat tight enough when mounted so it will do good.
After the restoration the watch runs around +/- 15 seconds per day in ALL positions! +/- 1 second per day dial up and down, vertical positions had also around a couple of seconds per day and one position was about 10-15 per day (worst one).

I bought this watch at an online auction just to check if an old pocket watch could be interesting to me.
The seller lives in my town so I just picked it up and went home. At home I opened the watch and realized it looked almost brand new, the movement looks almost untouched for 100 years!Maybe this watch rusted stuck when it was new and then have been left alone for around 100 years.
The watch could be restored without any new parts (except mainspring) and the hour hand seems to work fine.
The performance of this watch is great, it's near 0 +/- seconds per day in every position except one vertical position.
My friend, this is what I call art! The final shots followed by the slow motion made me tear up! Amazing work, amazing watch, just amazing! You could have replaced the hands with blued ones to make it like new, and glue the original hands on the inside of the back cover, not glued permanently, with some sort of soft glue or something.
@@Cristian8767 many thanks, very glad you liked it! :)

FINALLY! A watch repair channel where a watch is actually being repaired. Ive watched hundreds of just cleaning and oiling a watch that runs from the begining.
Many thanks!
Your Channel is literally one of the best Restoration channel on CZcams in terms of Cinematography and Filming. Keep it up.
Whaaat 😀 Your too kind! Many thanks.
Beautiful restoration. Blown away at the fact that this watch was created 100 years ago .
I agree, when I opened it and it looked almost untouched for 100 years I knew I wanted to restore it back.
I have one. No glass. 😢
Even “Masterful” is a gross understatement! It was a privilege to watch!
Моё почтение мастеру! Замечательная работа требующая очень много терпения и усидчивости!👏 Тонкая работа , мне очень нравится👍 Не бросайте своё дело ни когда!😊
Love videos like this that show that old watches are more than a match for a lot of the very over hyped and priced watches of today.
Hello Gary, Hope everything is fine! True that, well spoken words! /Josef
This is literally an Omega. They make the "over hyped and priced watches of today."
To see the fly wheel begin to pulse, irresistible, it's the heartbeat of the watch.
Thank you for restoring this old pocket watch back to its former glory.
It is not a restoration, it is a wonderful resurrection. It is so pleasant seeing balancer moving again like a heart 💓
Many thanks! Glad you liked it :)
😅
The camera work on something that small and intricate is superb
Many many thanks Craig and thank you for watching my video 😀
I didn't just 'LIKE' your work I 'LOVED' it! Absolutely awesome work. God Bless You.
Many many thanks Harsha, bless you 🙏
Excellent choice of watch, fantastic images, and the pleasure of seeing a master at work, bringing true works of art back to life.
I am near to 70, and I had forgotten how finely detailed your work can be. We do not see how ultra careful you have to be in your work. All we see is Chinese cheap watches, not the old time really fantastic clockworks that were available long ago. I am very glad to see you at work, and will appreciate a master watch maker such as you much more!! Thank you for a fascinating time.
I thoroughly enjoy watching the love you put into restoring these little pieces of history.
Wow many thanks Sutekh, I appreciate alot your kind words 😊
@@Watcheyes You’re welcome! Also, I’m not 100% sure but I _think_ the bird singing is a Great Tit.
"A last goodbye" to the beautiful movement you very skilfully restored. Poetic.
I would say that your skill displays the height of precision, dedication and technical knowledge. Not everyone can do this.
Wow! Beautiful timepiece. I bet if the watch designer was still alive, he'd be proud of this restoration.
Nice 👍 very. Good
I love your work, not only the details but also the video and the tools you've use. It's all very satisfying to watch.
Glad you liked it, thank you :)
Excellent restoration with wonderful end result👌👌👍👍
That was amazing. It's so good to watch skilled people at work.
Appreciate it a lot 🙏
You have to know what you are doing, and be very patient. This is more than just being a mechanic, you have to have a feeling inside of how things are going. Very calming and interesting to watch !
I've never seen anybody work with the stuff you use it and get the results you get, you are good thank you for entertaining
Thank you for your time :)
You blend artistry with science and training, mixed with patience and a bit of humor! Thanks!
Thank you Doug :)
I daresay, this is a time travelling watch gracing us with its beauty today from a time long gone. what a beauty.
Sir, you are a true talented craftsman...how I would love a watch like this
Nice to see a watch be restored, that I actually have in my possession. Thank you!
This is the third time I watch this video just because I like this kind of job. Very impressive.
Love the nice close up filming. Nice to be able to see the quality and engineering of the watch components. Great work.
Wonderful photography and a handsome watch !
The revival of a legend is a miracle.❤
You tell a story which is pure beauty.. thanks 🙏🏻
Hello Alan, many thanks for your kind words :)
Magnifique restauration, à la hauteur de la qualité du mécanisme.
La fin m'a ému.
Wow. A bang up job. You really did that old watch justice young man. Great video
An utter expert at your profession, bravo
Nice.... I just finished a 38.5 LT1. It had issues with worn pivot holes center wheel and barrel. Now she is like new....
Thank you! Aha, nice work Mike, my work with this was a lot more easy, nothing was worn, it was almost like new:D
For a guy with 3 years experience, you have some serious equipment. 👍🏻
The touch of the master's hand. Great job!
This beautiful Omega deserved your amazing work. Thank you so much for sharing!
watching the end of this video, I noticed that the pulsar of the spring, with each expansion and retraction, is similar to our hearts beating for the time that goes by. Your work is an art, magnificent. Congratulations my friend. A big hug from Daniel, São Paulo-Brazil
That was great i really appreciate your ability to transform this old watch into a thing of beauty. I have an old Illinois pocket watch it probably needs cleaned it was my fathers i am now 76 years old. I works i wind it once a week i am afraid to let it out of my sight.
Mine gussl The new watch is great! I've praised its realism many times. I really recommend checking out their selection.
23 minutes passed without even blinking. great stuff
Your quality in details is top notch. Amazing. 10/10.
Hallå Hasse, tack återigen för de fina orden :) Toppen att du gillade den!
Congrats on this phenomenal restoration job. Outstanding!
Seu trabalho deve ser muito gratificante, pelo vídeo parece ser.
É a primeira vez que vejo um relógio que abre a parte do visor, dando acesso aos ponteiros.
You are correct 😀, thank you for commenting!
You got amazing results on the dial face.
Perfect! Thanks for letting me see and admire it!
You did put water in my eyes because my father have had one exactly the same modelo. Thanks a lot.
Beautiful sounds, especialy the first one of opening cover with knife.
Thank you :) Have a great day!
У меня много старых часов есть, они все работают когда их переворачиваешь и потом они останавливаются, им всем нужен такой же ремонт который вы сделали. Мне их очень жалко что они лежат и не работают😢 вы молодец что даете вторую жмзнь старым часам🔥👍
I see :/, it's not easy but you can do it :)
Fabulous work and photography. very impressive. Love watching your work. Thank you!
Wow, that looks great! Well done.
What a beautiful video. Simply amazing. The watch is also so beautiful. Thank you for sharing.
"Nicely done", and a beautiful pocket watch as well !!!
Many thanks James!
Interesting to watch this multiple times! Masterful!
Many thanks for your kind words, have a good day!
Very nice "bookend" storytelling. Creative and unique. Nicely done. (14:20) too funny. :)
#1 This reminds me of seeing my father rebuilding a four barrel carburetor only much smaller parts!
#2 seeing the 4-speed automatic transmission from my car disassembled on a work bench, "just how many parts ARE THERE?" "About 500" 😮
Mesmerizing! Thoroughly enjoyable to see, thank you!!
Many thanks, wish you the best! 😀
Very valuable talented &labourious job.I am very happy to watching this.I have also have a similar pocket watch.
Excelente trabajo de restauración de ese reloj Omega Pre WWll..!! Llego muy maltratado y salio como nuevo..!! Watcheyes eres un maestro relojero..!! Excelente video..!!
Old turned into brand new, amazing job, I always says mechanical things can always be fixed, modern tech no update not working.

Magnifique travail, je dois absolument réparer la montre à gousset de mon grand-père. Merci pour cette belle vidéo
Amazing!!! I have the same watch, it originally belonged to my great grandfather and now it's mine
I need to seek a watchmaker to restore it, I think that it is with the same mainspring problem
and another superb restoration video, thank you
I'm very glad you liked it 😀 Have a great day!
Да!!! Отличная работа! Есть у меня такая ОМЕГА ...лежат ...там где я живу их некому отремонтировать, по номеру механизма часы мои примерно 1914 - 1916 года выпуска.
