Another piece of Vintage Watch brought back to Life

Here is another piece of vintage watch back from the dead, initially the watch is not working and the crown is worn out. As you can see from the video, the crown is worn out pretty bad and the watch is not ticking. The rest had been restored.

Vintage Enicar Gents Swiss Watch Prior and After Restoration

See the difference prior and after restoration. I am always asked how much should I pay for restoration. It is a very difficult question to answer, pending on its availability of the parts and the skill of a watchmaker. Unfortunately, both are hard to come by these days. In Singapore, when you approached the retail shops be prepared to pay a few hundreds. It is sad because it basically deters the hobby of watch collecting.

Here is the picture prior to restoration:

The watch is not working at all. The watch crystal is worn and the crown is worn out as well.

The rarity of 1925 Vintage Rolex Oyster

Just when I thought I have seen them all. Once in a while, a unqiue piece will blow your mind away. I just love Vintage Watches.

1940s Omega and a 1930s Art Deco Found in the Flea Market

1930s Art Deco

Once in a while, you will find some pieces of treasure. These are getting harder to find. The Omega is in working condition but the case is worn out. The Art Deco piece is not working. I will send these pieces to a good watch maker. Hopefully, you will see the finish product soon.

1960s Vintage Models of Rolex

I guess we have to move to the swinging 60s. Rolex was there too. Here are some of the models.

Relax with a Rolex.

Vintage Rolex is a Guy's best friend, just like diamonds are Gal's best friend..

Talking about vintage Rolex watches, these pieces are worth their places here for everyone to view.

These pieces are the bygone era of 1940s and 1950s. Unfortunately, they do not make things like they used to do. Everything now is mass produced, looking at their serial numbers, you will see that every year, the production numbers kept increasing.

Restoration of a 1960s Vintage Gents WristWatch

It is always interesting to find a piece of watch that you think it is a total junk and restored it to its formal glory. The below piece is a 1960s Vintage Gents WristWatch which I bought from a second hand shop overseas.

 The watch has a new crown, a cleaning job done on it and a broken part replaced as shown below.

So remember, you can turn a junk into a jewel if you are willing to put the effort in it.
