This time I´m restoring a Bulova Excellency from the 1940´s. It´s powered by the Bulova 7AA Caliber. I got this watch from one of my biggest fans and supporters. He got this watch from his dad (a police officer in Clarksville) and all watchmakers refused to repair it... until now.
Case and Glass are scratched, dial and the hands are corroded and the movement is running wild.
I hope you liked this restoration, if so, like, comment and subscribe ;)

Although frustrating for the owner, I'm glad that the other shops refused to work on it, so that we all had the chance to see you work your magic on it! You did great honor to his father -- well done, and thank you!

I have a similar watch, an Elgin, that other watchmakers have refused to work on. It's a shame that something could survive this long, yet be considered "useless".

If my pause analysis is correct, this watch dates from 1940… you can tell because Bulova puts a date mark on the back of all of the cases. L0 indicates 1940, M0 would be 1950, N2 would be 1962 etc. As always, a beautiful restoration. I am continually impressed with the steadiness of your hands, you should’ve been a surgeon!

I feel like the little bit of patina left on the dial just completes the whole look. It's like seeing just a little bit of this watch's history on display, and I think there's something beautiful about that.
@KingZarus
@KingZarus Год назад
I believe that he actually replaced the dial with another one, without the crack. It’s the only point of critique I have on this otherwise amazingly produced video. I’d rather see the old dial in.
