Today we have David's watch on the bench, a 1970's Memosail regatta watch that belonged to his father. The topic of this video is at what point is a watch too far gone to do anything about it and sadly, this video does thus not have a happy ending.
Join me for a discussion of how to deal with rusty watches and what we have to consider when dealing with a badly damaged watch like this one.

Such a shame, but it happens. For the rest of us we should learn that any watch dunked in salt water should go straight to a watchmaker to get the salt water out. It's so corrosive, and keeps corroding until removed.

With watches, salt water is definitely the gift that keeps on giving. 😢

@bullnose01 Год назад

It served honorably, but its time has passed. Fair winds and following seas. 😪

Unfortunately this one couldn't be repaired, vintage watches should be kept away from especially salty water. Congratulations 👍excellent video, Greetings from Switzerland🇨🇭

Somewhere in the world, in a box in the garage of a dead watchmaker, a Memosail regatta cries out, "Let ME be saved!"

If it was my dad's watch, I would pay 1000 Euros to fix it for sure.

@ThePaulv12 Год назад

Yeah, it's a vice watch. I'd pay it.

….Aaaand he’s BACK! Hope you had a nice time during your vacation! You seem to be in a good place both health wise and spirit wise! Happy or ya’!

You are probably the only YT Watchman putting up a video where you don’t do a miraculous fix on a far gone watch. I will have the same question re an old Zodiac I have. Will have more info next Wednesday.

I am restoring a Bulova with a 11ANACD movement for a customer, it has great sentimental value and he wanted to see it working again. opening up it to had water ingress at the stem and red with rust, also never been serviced since bought in the 70's. he was lucky it just stoped working and put it away so the rust was just confined to the keyless works, its now on test working again but i have had source a winding pinion from Australia and i'm in the uk!! parts are becoming more and more difficult to source. Hope some of the parts from yours can see another day in another movement.
