  • Join me on an exciting journey as I dive into the world of watch restoration, taking on a vintage Bulova wristwatch with the fascinating 11AL movement. Watch as I carefully clean and bring this timeless piece back to life, addressing issues like excessive play in the barrel arbor bridge.
    Discover the joy of uncovering the watch's history as I delicately work on the movement. It's not just about fixing parts but also about preserving the magic that makes this Bulova special. The intricacies of the 11AL movement come to life as I navigate through the restoration process, showcasing the heart of this classic timepiece.
    The exterior gets its own makeover too! Witness the transformation as the case gets a thorough polishing, revealing the original shine and charm that made this Bulova a standout in its heyday. Every scratch tells a story, and every polish brings it back to its former glory.
    To complete the picture, I craft a one-of-a-kind leather strap by hand. It's more than just a band; it's a personal touch that adds a bit of modern flair to this vintage beauty. The restoration isn't just about fixing; it's about giving this Bulova a new chapter in its story.
    Whether you're a fellow hobbyist, a casual watch lover, or just someone curious about the world of vintage timepieces, come along for this exciting ride. Subscribe now and be part of the journey as I revive a classic Bulova watch, one meticulous step at a time.

    Appreciate how you name each of the parts. I know that after many videos, other UA-camrs remain silent or start talking about other things but I want to learn. Each video you produce may be the first that a person has seen.
    PS Bulova represents precision, the entry into luxury and great value for money.

    EXCELLENT video! Yes, I love the Nekkid Watchmaker too. Marshal at Wristwatch revival was the one I saw first. I was hooked! So, I have been buying up all the tools and to many watches to practice on. I will be setting up my space this weekend and then will get started. Again... Nice job!
