Join me for a lot of rust removal and other repairs as we try to get this watch in running condition. There will be the usual banter and tangents and we'll get very acquainted with the two words uh and oh in that order! ******************************************************************************** Join this channel to get access to many more videos and perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCaoHoXGQL5BDONt4vbaTw_g/join Or join my patreon page: https://www.patreon.com/VintageWatchServices89 ******************************************************************************** See our watches and read our blog at http://www.vintagewatchservices.eu See our current selection at Chrono24: https://www.chrono24.com/search/index.htm?customerId=26311&dosearch=true ******************************************************************************** Tools and resources for watchmaking as a hobby: https://bit.ly/43yQRmw Watchmaking books https://bit.ly/3N3rlz3 Watchmaker’s loupe https://bit.ly/43vOcu4 Watchmaker tweezers https://bit.ly/3Nm0lfc Moebius lubricants https://bit.ly/43ITWjM Screwdrivers https://bit.ly/468B8wq Case opener https://bit.ly/468Bfbk Rodico https://bit.ly/3J8mX0u Polywatch https://bit.ly/42wAZQf Presto tools https://bit.ly/3J6UND7 Bergeon tools https://bit.ly/3X21iwL Horotec tools https://bit.ly/3X2xiAU Chinese made watchmaking tools https://bit.ly/3qFqgWk Digital microscope https://bit.ly/3CkZt4f Ultrasonic cleaner https://bit.ly/3qAAPtX Ultrasonic cleaning solution https://bit.ly/43V9HEr Denture cleaning tablet https://bit.ly/3X1rpUl Chinese “Horia style” jeweling tool https://bit.ly/3P5EQR7 Demagnetizer ******************************************************************************** Follow us on social media https://www.instagram.com/vintage_watch_services/ https://www.facebook.com/Vintagewatchservices/ https://twitter.com/VintageWatchSrv https://www.pinterest.ch/vintagewatchservices/watch-of-the-day/ ******************************************************************************** #watchmaking #vintagewatches #watchrepair #watchrestoration
