“Wristwatch Revival”
Marshall is handed a nice vintage dress watch owned by his aunt. She said it had gotten “some fog” in it and had stopped working… As it turns out, that was just the beginning! Join Marshall as he tackles another watch restoration in an attempt to get this watch back on his Aunt’s…

Bravo sir.
Marshall (or anyone else that knows):
Where did you say you got your training? I remember you saying you completed video courses, but I can’t remember the name.
I covered the outside of my ultrasonic cleaner with off brand dynamat sound deadener. I have the giant 30 liter model for my motorcycle repair business, it was LOUD. After applying dynamat, it is much much quieter. I have not noticed a difference in cleaning performance before and after.
You know it's bad when you show the video to your wife, who has no interest in watch repair whatsoever, and her reaction to the rust is a cringing, "Ew." You sure had your hands full with this one, Marshall.
Did u always dabble in wrist watches or was there something else that got u into the watch repair/building hobby,ie pendulum clocks?
There’s a buffing compound for plastic that works well on plastic crystals. Use a little Drexel or flexshaft with a little buffing wheel.
When the story of the watch includes a nephew fixing it the replacement parts are part of the story making it more of a family heirloom 15:16

What’s the circular pattern finish called? He said it it starts with a P.
The spelling I can’t quite catch it
Welder here. You want to heat on the outside of parent metal so basically around the bolt hole area. Dont rest heat on screw it’s self. And it’s gotta stay heated longer then the few seconds you had it on there. Lol that being said they way I extract broken or seized bolts are way more easier then you.. good luck and I really enjoy the videos!!
You must really love your aunt. 😂
Dish soap will actually make water get into things that might otherwise be fairly water tight, too, since the soap breaks the surface tension of the water. A simple experiment is to take something like a rain coat that water usually just runs off of and take some soapy water and see how differently it behaves. Depending on the coat, you might even get the fabric "wet" and feel the moisture through the seems. The same would happen with the crystal and such here: the soap will make the water flow through cracks much faster penetrate deeper, as well.
what was the name of crystal polisher? thanks
I like how you have a watch on for working on watches. 😊
Can you please comment on or add on the screen some information on how long operations take? You make them look much faster than they must be. Anyway, love your videos!
Old would have done a soldering iron trick again and got it a lot more hotter where's the penetrates in fluid in it
Good ole CLR 🥰
i use white vinigar to clean battery connections and rusted screws in repairing cameras
I have to be honest I would have cleaned up the reverse of the dial and used the donor movement. Tadaaa, I fixed your watch, Aunty!
I'm not sure if there were any parts I'd want to use from the old movement unless they were needed on the new movement and were still serviceable. Probably all the unrusted movements parts were better than the original movement. I can see that the new movement needed the stem and crown but couldn't see a need for the other parts. I always enjoy watching work and your commentary.
