This time I am restoring a golden Breitling from the 1950s. The glass is broken, the case is covered in scratches, the gold plating is damaged and yet the watch is still running.

There was a moment early on in the video when you were disassembling the watch and you were removing parts but springs were still moving. It reminded me of when the Japanese I think it is, cut up live fish for a customer and the disembodied fish is still moving when parts of it are being served. Good to see the socks are back as appalling as they have always been. 🙂

Excellent work on a very nice watch. How can they destroy something like this? It's very sad. I love when you re-gold the case. There is a time machine again, but I see your hand is a bit damaged. Sorry for my bad english but I liked these because I haven't seen the tools yet: Back panel removal machine's new design, main gear puller tool, tube presser, new back panel polisher. Great performance, great channel!😊❤❤❤

I'm always amazed to see that when you remove the balance you just let it hang from the balance spring. I would be afraid that would somehow damage the balance spring, but I guess it doesn't.
