I bought this Omega watch at auction. The state of this watch is horrible and I will try to restore it. The watch is not working and some parts are missing. Giving the state of this watch and with my hobbyist skills, this is more a watch resurrection than a watch restoration. Hopefully I will ba able to bring back this Omega Speedmaster back to life.

That was the most complicated watch repair and restoration video that I’ve seen so far on RU-vid. Very impressive considering the identification of numerous missing parts was required as well as the replacement and repair of damaged ones. While I appreciate the desire to not to perform a more complete restoration of the dial I thought the decision to not further improve the appearance of the case was curious. The expert restoration produced a beautiful movement deserving of a case in better condition. Now that I have offered my unsolicited armchair watch restoration opinion I will return to the peanut gallery where I belong.

at 39:53 that green flaky buildup is caused by Oxidation and sometimes called verdigris. moisture got in and probably there was some bare metal on the pushers and that got the process going. a very common place to find it is on brass fittings, copper roofs and your car battery terminals. excellent video, watched it from end to end!!!😉

11:52 that was a close-call. The spring swung around and hit the table, just barely moving one part. I think it hit a winding gear. Just as you started to pull the barrel arbor out, I was thinking how it would suck if the spring popped out and hit all your parts. lol

@FrenchWatchCollector

Thank you Arnaud. You need to start with some simple watches with no complications (date, chrono, automatic, triple calendar...) or even on a pocket watch. You can buy some very cheap mechanical watch on ebay with a simple movement. If the movement is standard (like an ETA) it will be easier and cheaper to find parts. After you need a lot of tools even to start doing simple work. I might do a video on this.

@@FrenchWatchCollector wow! Given the amount of parts you had to source, I was expecting even more time! I sometimes have to hunt for one single part for 3/4 months… Another interesting aspect is the need for specific tools. As a hobbyist I sometimes face a challenge where I don’t have the required tool for a job, in your case the broken screw, so the cost of a new tool adds to the overall cost of the restoration process and that can mean a delay too. It is a game of patience!!

My father passed away and had this watch in his collection. It’s the only real one with meaning and beauty compared to the others and unfortunately sounds like the main spring is broken. It’s in great condition overall and I’m gearing up to take on the task of opening it up to maintenance the movement (my first watch movement ever) but I’m determined to do it myself. I want to do it, because when it’s done and working, I want to look down and remember the effort it took and the masterpiece which runs behind the face of the watch, and remember my father who bought it back when it was on retail for purchase. Yes, I’ll probably break something, but I’m okay with that. I’ll try not to, but I’ll do my research and have already been doing countless studies on this specific watch and others and there are many similarities between them. One day, I’ll give this to one of my daughters and explain it to them. Thank you for your video though… it’s helped me immensely to become more familiar with what is fast becoming a project of huge proportions.

Salut Monsieur 😃Le resaltat apres votre travaille est tres beau. 👍 Especialement, si tu considerier le condition originale, le reparier est bon 👍. Excuse me, but my written French is pathetic mate 😃I'm originally from Montreal, Quebec, Canada, so they don't speak your kind of "Francaise" anyway 😉😂. I would have thought you would spend some time working on the case (???) 😳 I don't like the condition of that watch case - The aesthetic with all the dents and scratches doesn't work for my eyes. Overall, I think you made a good investment. 👍😃 I think you were quite fortunate not to have a busted ballance wheel. The ballance wheel looked broken to me when you first opened the watch.👀

Hi Mark. Thanks for your comment. I thought the balance was broken too. After is the balance staff is broken is not that complicated to change. For the case I agree with you. I am not a watchmaker and right now I don't have the right equipment to refinish a case as complex as this one. Maybe one day I will get the machine to do this type of work and will refinish it.

You really need to stop fixing all these beautiful vintage watches. I‘m running out of money to get them a version of them at the gray market 😄

The Mark III is my grail watch. I deeply regret not getting one five years ago when prices were half of what they are now.

They are nice and I think they will still go up. They are still good value for money because the watch has few more complications than a standard omega chronograph

It is all the debate on vintage watch. Some people prefer to keep the vintage/patina look (which is my case) and some other prefer to have a vintage watch that looks like new.

I admire your work and effort, however I was disappointed that you reused the same dial and hands. They look terrible. I know this was a "fix-it" watch, but why go thru all that work to have a terrible looking watch? I know this is an expensive watch, but I would not wear it.

For me if you want a vintage watch that looks like a new watch just get a new watch. Vintage watch tell stories and are unique.

This is not a restoration, everything should be polished.

You don't necessary polish a watch. Polishing remove the value and the history of the watch in most cases. After it is a customer choice.
