I bought this Omega pocket watch for a good price.
It worked, but it would stop after several minutes. It turns out it just needed a good cleaning, so I was lucky with this purchase.
My main concern now was about the damaged porcelain dial. Somebody tried to restore it before me but it didn't turn out well. I had to clean the previous attempt and do it in my way. After fixing the holes in the dial, I re-draw the markings and numerals with a marker.
I added a new hour, minute and second hands, and also a new crystal. I also polished the watch.
If you like my restorations, feel free to like and leave a comment below the video.

Beautifully done. I use dental crown powder to fill the chipped areas. It's hard and colour can be exactly matched. A thin polyethylene film on top while it cures gives a glazed and even surface.

You are really good at restoring watches. Incredible! I was wondering, for a glass crystal, can you use one of those fancy crystal presses to install into the case ring? I've seen people use the press for acrylic crystals, where the press compresses the crystal around the edges so that it can fit snug into the case ring by tension. Also, what kind of white powder do you use?

First of all, let me say I was blown away with the dial restoration. Truly a work of art! That being said, I too have been working on watches (mainly American) pocket watches, and most all manner of clocks since 2001. I am fully self-taught. I had an actual watch and clock shop for 3 1/2 years. I've serviced and made parts for everything from Rolex's, Atmos clocks, anniversary clocks, and clocks from the 1820's. I have a few questions: What is the "household degreaser" that you use? It really seems to brighten up the gilded / brass plates and dials nicely. You obviously know what you're doing :-). Nice work on repivoting the center wheel on one of your other videos. I want to know what flea market you shop at :-). I get most of my stuff off "Flea-Bay". I rarely find the "jewels" you come across. Your videos are very well produced by the way. While I can't say I ALWAYS use "best practices" there are a few things that I noticed that I find troubling: The lack of use of gloves or finger cots when handling brass plates (like on the Lepine / Bar movement which was gorgeous by the way). The use of improperly sized screwdrivers. The "liberal" use of "glue" to secure jewels, which I was always told was "frowned" upon. When I fit a glass crystal I use a "syringe" applicator to carefully apply a thin line of adhesive around the "ledge" on the bezel. That glue is then cured under UV light. I've never seen anyone use 5 minute epoxy to set crystals. Might make it difficult for later watchmakers to remove the crystal. I understand these are your watches and not client's watches and you may do what you will with them. I just find these practices troubling as I said. And yes, I know, everyone is a critic :-)

You performed a miracle with that dial repair, that was a pleasure to observe, but what actually was that white filler powder? It looks like you used a two part epoxy glue to fill the gap around a slightly undersized crystal, is that true? Your remarking of the dial was pure artistry, you sir, have a steady hand. This sort of skill level is indicative of why I subscribed.
