WW2 Rolex In PIECES Restoration - Broken Pivot - Speed King - Vintage Watch - Cal. 710 - ASMR

Video Description

In this video I make a restoration of a vintage WW2 Rolex Speed King watch that came in a metal box from someone that I know. The condition of the watch was bad and quickly I realized some parts were broken.

Contact via mail (see contact info) or https://www.instagram.com/watcheyesone/ It's a manual watch (you wind it via the crown). The movement is called cal. 710 (10.5 Hunter). This video is only ASMR. The information I got from the owner of the watch is that it was bought from an old watchmaker that stored the watch in this box, maybe he wanted to repair it in the future but after a while sold it. After the restoration the Rolex watch runs around +/- 20-30 per day which is stated by the timegrapher and the amplitude is around 250-300 degrees. For this watch I think it's approved as it says on the movement it's only adjusted in two positions.

Here we found that there was 2 worn holes, too much wobble. The balance staff was broken and the regulator pins under the balance bridge and a driving wheel was out of round etc. *Manual cleaning, pre-cleaning, I do this with Rodico (Bergeon), some toothpicks, pegwood and with IPA (isopropyl alcohol). Then after pre-cleaning I let all parts be in benzine and later a double bath of IPA (Isopropyl alcohol) for rinsing. The pallet fork gets a benzine bath and a Epilame treatment, balance wheel will only be cleaned with benzine. *Cleaning the hour/minute hands and the dial, repaint the hour/minute.Cleaning the casing etc with an ultrasonic machine. *Assembly and oiling all relevant parts *Dynamic poising to find any heavy points on the balance wheel and checking with the timepragher If you like this video, I’m very happy if you push the Like button (maybe put a comment?) to my channel, more videos will come!
