The $20 Benrus: A Bargain Bin Watch Worth Fixing?
Weekend Watch Repair
@weekendwatchrepairAbout
This channel is all about bringing old watches back to life—one project at a time. Whether it’s a vintage piece from the bargain bin or a watch that hasn’t ticked in decades, every timepiece gets a shot at redemption here. I’m a hobbyist watchmaker learning as I go, sharing the full process along the way. From teardown and troubleshooting to casework and reassembly, I try to show it all—successes, mistakes, and the unexpected problems that come with working on old mechanical watches. If you're into the technical side of watch repair, enjoy seeing how things work, or just appreciate the art of putting something broken back together, you’ll feel right at home. My goal is to make each video as informative as it is satisfying—sharing tools, techniques, and a few tricks that don’t always make it into other videos. Whether you’re learning the craft or just enjoy the journey, I’m glad you’re here.

Video Description
In this video, I take on a $20 Benrus watch I picked up from the bargain bin on eBay, diving into a repair project that was anything but straightforward. This vintage watch arrived with significant corrosion, major timekeeping issues, and signs of overall wear and tear. My challenge was to see if I could address these problems and bring this watch back to life as a reliable daily wear. Creating these videos requires a significant amount of time and effort, and I truly appreciate every bit of support I receive.
