This time I´m restoring a Bulova Excellency from the 1940´s. It´s powered by the Bulova 7AA Caliber. I got this watch from one of my biggest fans and supporters. He got this watch from his dad (a police officer in Clarksville) and all watchmakers refused to repair it... until now.
Case and Glass are scratched, dial and the hands are corroded and the movement is running wild.
I hope you liked this restoration, if so, like, comment and subscribe ;)

Можно было бы, и было бы ЭТО замечательно, в конце ролика вставить маленький фидео отчет от хозяина часов - как ОТРЕМОНТИРОВАННЫЕ часы на руке себя ведут. В данном видео смотрелось было классно видео руки полицейского на фоне его патрульного авто !!! It would be possible, and it would be THIS wonderful, to insert a small fideo report from the owner of the watch at the end of the video - how the REPAIRED watch behaves on the hand. In this video, it looked cool video of the policeman's hand against the background of his patrol car !!!

@@RedDeadRestoration Эту идею можно воплотить дополнительно в мини видео роликах Ютуб шортс, когда отреставрированные часы будут у заказчика и он пришлёт маленький видеоотчёт - просто часы на руке на каком либо интересном фоне или достопримечательности его региона. Для нас подписчиков и просто многочисленных зрителей будет дополнительная положительная эмоция. This idea can be implemented additionally in KZfaq Shorts mini-videos, when the restored watch is at the customer's disposal and he sends a small video report - just a watch on his hand against some interesting background or sights of his region. For us subscribers and simply numerous viewers there will be an additional positive emotion.
