This time I´m restoring an old military watch from the WW2-Era. It´s a Sanford with an AS 1123 movement. The watch is in a really bad condition. The chrome-plating of the case is heavy damaged, the glass is scratched the movement is full of dirt and stops repeatedly. I need to grind off the old chrome. After sanding and polishing the case, it´s ready for a new chrome-plating. But i need to add a layer of nickel before. The glass will be polished and the movement cleaned. Unfortunately the old radium-compound on the hands fell off so i need to re-lume the hands with super-luminova. I will add some coffee to it to make it more "vintage-looking". After everything is cleaned, polished and re-plated, I can re-assemble the movement with some fresh oil. After that, this watch is in a good beat (+6 seconds per day) again. I hope you liked this restoration, if so, like, comment and subscribe ;) Subscribe to my channel: https://www.youtube.com/c/RedDeadRestoration?sub_confirmation=1 Music: "Our Volunteers Waltz" by United States Marine Band "Et Voila" by Chris Haugen ___________________________________ Follow me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/reddeadrestoration Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/YTRedDeadRestoration Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/Reddeadrestoration ___________________________________ Acrylic Glass Polishing Compound: https://amzn.to/2XIP8vF ** Case Polishing Diamond Paste: https://amzn.to/2Ye1MSo ** Case Polishing Wadding: https://amzn.to/2UlNfme ** Thermo-Tape: https://amzn.to/30YktME ** Fiber Glass Pen: https://amzn.to/2AQfpzi ** UV-Lamp: https://amzn.to/3iuOSJ8 ** UV-Glue: https://amzn.to/3ghGSZK ** Rodico: https://amzn.to/3eWtTN2 ** Multi-Purpose Watch-Repair-Kit: https://amzn.to/2XIQ7Mn ** Multitool: https://amzn.to/2BNryW9 ** Buffing Wheels for Multitool: https://amzn.to/30gJCSF ** My Camera: https://amzn.to/32er4BJ ** ** Affiliate Links Disclaimer: This video and description contains affiliate links, which means that if you click on one of the product links, I'll receive a small commission.
