Marshall is handed a nice vintage dress watch owned by his aunt. She said it had gotten "some fog" in it and had stopped working... As it turns out, that was just the beginning! Join Marshall as he tackles another watch restoration in an attempt to get this watch back on his Aunt's wrist!

This wristwatch manufacturer *Wega* is (in details) the *_Wega Watch SA_* from Grenchen in Switzerland; this watch company existed from 1924 to 1973. But, in terms of this particular logo with the double-hard-shaped "W", this logo shown as such, was copyrighted on April 4th, 1950 to be used until 1972 - year as of which, W.W. started to get sold part by part to be spread & shared with other small Swiss watchmakers like _Wega & Delbana_ (1973-1983) and _Wega & Owix_ (1973-1987), until the _Wega_ disappeared as of 1987/88.

The "pearlage" effect (I'm sure I misspelled that, apologies) is achieved by mounting a wooden dowel in a drill press, applying some fine abrasive to the dowel, and lowering it until it contacts the metal surface. The dowel is allowed to spin briefly and creates that pretty circle on the metal surface. The process is repeated until the desired effect is achieved. In shop class we used to call it "jeweling". Probably misspelled that too.

A note on freeing frozen screws and bolts with heat: When you heat the bolt/screw, it's actually expanding INTO the hole it's screwed into, making it fit tighter in the hole and harder to turn. You're better off heating the metal that it's screwed into so that it hopefully expands AWAY from the bolt/screw. When you do this on larger stuff, you can occasionally hear it "pop" as it frees as you're applying heat. If you have no choice but to heat the screw itself, try allowing it to cool completely before freeing it.

Dish soap will actually make water get into things that might otherwise be fairly water tight, too, since the soap breaks the surface tension of the water. A simple experiment is to take something like a rain coat that water usually just runs off of and take some soapy water and see how differently it behaves. Depending on the coat, you might even get the fabric "wet" and feel the moisture through the seems. The same would happen with the crystal and such here: the soap will make the water flow through cracks much faster penetrate deeper, as well.

I think Marshall is the Ernest Shackleton of watchmaking, the famous Antarctic explorer. Fortitudine Vincimus translates to “Through endurance, we conquer.” It was the Shackleton family motto. That could be the subtitle for his channel. I cannot believe that the man never gives up no matter how bad things look. (Except Marshall has a way cooler watch collection than Schackleton ever had. We only get glimpses every so often, but I watch not only to see him bring back all these “not dead, just mostly dead” beautiful watches, and for his terrific narration, but also to catch fleeting glimpses of the incredible watches in his collection that he wears while doing his work. Keep up the amazing work Marshall!

My rustbelt car mechanic sensibilities are that I'd be doing a full movement swap and told her to feel lucky the dial, case and crystal could be saved. So many times I've told people to scrap rust bucket cars they abused/neglected due to needing 5x the value of the vehicle in repairs. We all work with rust when we must, but mechanically impairing rust and sentimental value is not something I have nor suggest a shred of patience with, and I have no doubt most watchmakers are the same way. She's a lucky gal to have you as a nephew. 😎

@anthonycaryl1079 6 ай бұрын

It looked like an evapo-rust bottle to me.... i've tried it on dials before with mixed results, i think if the dial is in good condition it survives the process ok, but if the lacquer or worse the paint is a bit loose it will come away so i'd avoid it if at all possible, However if you don't have a lathe, and the watch isn't valuable enough financially or sentimentally to pay a watchmaker who does its worth a try (if your careful you can submerge the movement to just below the dial and that may be enough to derust the bits you need to remove it)

@medea27 5 ай бұрын

I would be _extremely_ reluctant to submerge the dial in _any_ liquid, not least a rust remover/converter! You can think of dials as tiny artworks... they are just layers of paint & lacquer on a thin metal sheet, with some decals & hour markers glued on. Over time they start to deteriorate and become more vulnerable to damage. So even if the liquid you're soaking it in doesn't _chemically_ react with the paint or lacquer, it can seep into the gaps & cracks that have developed over time and _physically_ lift them off the metal backing. The dial is virtually the only part that can't just be thrown in the ultrasonic cleaner so it's easy to forget how fragile they can be!

I'm trying to do my best but dang it Marshall made it look so easy. It's very clean. Just needs a service as far as condition goes. So far I know I need: a new barrel (three teeth are missing).

I really appreciate that you speak like a very normal MAN. You don’t fill the narrative with any new slang, and you don’t attempt to be talking “street”-(whatever the heck that is) or employ desperately, annoying yakking. You aren’t attempting to gain views or comments by using this lingo that so many, unfortunately, have turned to in order to draw a certain attention. I know….this is MY issue. You are not doing anything either way, you just do a wonderful job. That, happens to suit me NICELY! However, I am only saying, that I am very appreciative to see and hear content that is considered to be normal to so MANY of us. Having said all that, thank you for the EXCELLENT quality of workmanship, AND your cinematography. I wouldn’t expect better on a learning, teaching film prepared for college grade apprenticing. I am considering, seriously, a basic entrance into this field. You hooked me, and your delivery was pivotal in my being swept up. With warmest of regards, I thank you, Ole Relik.

Hello Marshal!, I’m old age blind but I love watching you, maybe it’s the clear magnification !🤣Anywho, I inherited an ton of nice watches and I’m not emotionally attached to any of them (my watch was stolen 15 years ago and none but that watch will do) Your love of watches so obvious I’d like you to have them instead of a donation, I’ll send them to you for your collection or parts. All I need is an address to mail them. Enjoy, Susan Adair PS I’ll send a photo of my stolen watch If you ever run across one that would be a dream come true.

It was actually refreshing to see that you also struggle at times with a tough train wheel bridge. Can really test my patience.

Marshal, I have a German military watch my maternal grandfather brought back from ww2. I am beyond frustrated trying to find someone competent to repair it. The hands are boogered and it has a few other issues. It means a lot to me, my grandfather told me the story on how he squired it from a German infantry captain shortly after D-Day June, ‘44. Would you be interested in at least looking at it and possibly getting back into some kind of shape. I am a disabled vet myself and not rolling in dough but I would be willing to pay for your services if interested. I don’t know how else to contact you but after watching you I’m impressed with your skills. Terry
