In this video I make a restoration of Century old (~100 year) rusted Omega watch. The watch was dead when it came, not running, all of the rusted pivots have jammed it.
I saw this vintage Omega watch at an online auction (sold in my town), it didn't look that special, old Omega watch with oxidized silver casing, nothing to brag about. But…when I came home and opened it, it looked almost like new! It hasn't been used that much for 100 years!

I polished the silver casing but just did a light one, the backside just with a swipe with a towel so the texture doesn’t get damaged.
About the hour hand that is cracked, it sat tight enough when mounted so it will do good.
After the restoration the watch runs around +/- 15 seconds per day in ALL positions! +/- 1 second per day dial up and down, vertical positions had also around a couple of seconds per day and one position was about 10-15 per day (worst one).
