Restoration of a Radioactive WW2 Military Watch - German Wehrmacht - Helma AS1130

Video Description

This time I´m restoring an old military watch from the 2nd world war. It´s a Helma with an AS 1130 movement (also known as "Wehrmachts-Uhrwerk"). Based on its engraving on the caseback it´s an official military service watch worn by the german armed forces (Wehrmacht) during the war. The missing "H" (Heer / Army) after the serial number indicates that it could have been a watch of the german air-force. The watch is in a really bad condition. The chrome-plating of the case is heavy damaged, the glass is scratched the movement is full of dirt and broken. I need to get rid of the old chrome-plating, this time i´m using a sandblaster for the job. After sanding and polishing the case, it´s ready for a new chrome-plating. But i need to add a layer of nickel before. I´m using the nickel and chrome electrolyte of @TifooTech The products are available at: https://www.tifoo.de/ (Note: The nickel electrolyte is only available to commercial customers) The glass will be polished and the movement cleaned. I also need to remove the old radium of the hands and re-lume them with super-luminova. I will add some coffee to it to make it more "vintage-looking". After everything is cleaned, polished and re-plated, I can re-assemble the movement with some fresh oil. After that, this watch is in a good beat (+0 seconds per day) again. I hope you liked this restoration, if so, like, comment and subscribe ;) Subscribe to my channel: https://www.youtube.com/c/RedDeadRestoration?sub_confirmation=1 Music: "Waiting" by Andrew Langdon "Kurt" by Cheel ___________________________________ Follow me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/reddeadrestoration Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/YTRedDeadRestoration Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/Reddeadrestoration ___________________________________ Acrylic Glass Polishing Compound: https://amzn.to/2XIP8vF ** Case Polishing Diamond Paste: https://amzn.to/2Ye1MSo ** Case Polishing Wadding: https://amzn.to/2UlNfme ** Thermo-Tape: https://amzn.to/30YktME ** Fiber Glass Pen: https://amzn.to/2AQfpzi ** UV-Lamp: https://amzn.to/3iuOSJ8 ** UV-Glue: https://amzn.to/3ghGSZK ** Rodico: https://amzn.to/3eWtTN2 ** Multi-Purpose Watch-Repair-Kit: https://amzn.to/2XIQ7Mn ** Multitool: https://amzn.to/2BNryW9 ** Buffing Wheels for Multitool: https://amzn.to/30gJCSF ** My Camera: https://amzn.to/32er4BJ ** ** Affiliate Links Disclaimer: This video and description contains affiliate links, which means that if you click on one of the product links, I’ll receive a small commission.
