This time I´m restoring a Citizen Bullhead Chronograph.
The watch become famous as Cliff Booth (played by Brad Pitt) worn it in the movie "Once upon a time in Hollywood"
This watch is powered by the Citizen 8110A chronograph movement.
The watch is in a really bad condition. The gold-plated case and the painted bezel is heavily damaged, the glass is scratched, the movement stops repeatedly and the bracelet is not original and broken.
I need to get rid of the old gold-plating and the black paint, i´m using my new sandblaster for this job.
After sanding and polishing the case, it´s ready for a new gold-plating. The bezel gets a new painting after polishing.
I need to replace the glass and the crown. Crown and chronograph-pushers were gold-plated originally but Cliff is wearing it with silver colored crown and pushers.
So I´m just polishing the pushers and waive the gold-plating.
The hands can be polished but I need to re-paint the chronograph hands with a nice looking "orange".
The dial is hopeless. I can´t restore that one so I need to use my little time machine again.
After everything is cleaned, polished, re-plated and re-painted, I can re-assemble the movement with some fresh oil. After that, this watch is in a fantastic beat (+0 seconds per day) again.
I hope you liked this restoration, if so, like, comment and subscribe ;)

Wow! This is amazing!! 🤩 As a Japanese who loves mechanical watches and who has gotten serviced by our local Citizen Japan craftsmen, seeing you polish up an entire case and not replacing it by “Time Machine” 😆, it’s mind blowing! I know Citizen only replaces an entire case (especially anything plated one). I don’t know if you have worked on a full titanium Citizen solar powered watches but I’ve recently sent one of my Citizen titanium watches to Citizen with a rose gold plated titanium case (titanium base). They only replace a case, and the case itself costs 15,000 yen+ to replace it. 😅 Overhaul service isn’t too bad though ¥18,000. Lol. Imagine the case with a glass cover costs almost the same as fully getting serviced on a watch. 😅 I’m still contemplating if I should get the case replaced. Haha Love your show btw, amazing!

It's even better to see one resorted. Great video man.

Awesome skills, never knew so many tiny intricate parts made up something to measure a thing that we can't even see. Time. So cathartic to 'watch' and not only see you repair and replace parts but the tools and machinery that you use are also fascinating to behold. Just a random RU-vid video but 'what a video' many respects to you.

I "watch" one vid and think its more complex than the rolex or omega then you pick up another and I'm sat here shaking my head. How anyone designs these with all mechanics in there along with the precision and beauty is just amazing. Totally hooked !!!

Watching your restoration videos calms me down. It's like when I see the Mona Lisa or a Masterpiece.

I have an 8110 Bullhead in natural silver finish that my wife bought for me when we got married (almost 39 years ago). She got it from the clearance section at the Kadena Air Base exchange. Love the watch. You have inspired me to take it in for service as it is running a bit slow. And it is more than I would want to try myself.

Perfect timing - I have one of these with a silver dial and steel case, the chrono dial hands do not engage properly and the day adjuster seldom works. Now I can see how all the bits fit together :-)

Don't do it if you don't have a lot of experience with restoring watches. The chronograph mech is a bit tricky and the flyback needs a lot of grease in the right places to work smoothly.

I own this watch, bought it in Iran in 1978. Still in perfect running condition. Now I can do a little research and hopefully find out what what she is worth. Thanks for the video.
