Can I fix this ruined dial? | Omega pocket watch restoration
Вставка
- Опубліковано 19 сер 2024
- I bought this Omega pocket watch for a good price.
It worked, but it would stop after several minutes. It turns out it just needed a good cleaning, so I was lucky with this purchase.
My main concern now was about the damaged porcelain dial. Somebody tried to restore it before me but it didn't turn out well. I had to clean the previous attempt and do it in my way. After fixing the holes in the dial, I re-draw the markings and numerals with a marker.
I added a new hour, minute and second hands, and also a new crystal. I also polished the watch.
If you like my restorations, feel free to like and leave a comment below the video.

Beautifully done. I use dental crown powder to fill the chipped areas. It's hard and colour can be exactly matched. A thin polyethylene film on top while it cures gives a glazed and even surface.
Perfect! I particularly enjoyed watching you restore the dial……..What powder and black ink did you use? I love your equipment gear!
Truly the work of a master. I cannot understand the patience you have to work with parts so small and precise. The dial repair is flawless! Thank you for your beautiful camera work and editing. Subscribed!
Please continue with your excellent videos, they are informative and well done, I will watch them all. Thanks
I've been watching a lot of watch video's lately even though there good i now know what a watch master maker is!
You're a bloody artist ...no more than that and I don't know what to call you!❤
Fantastic job! Back to life again.
Great job on fixing the dial with enamel powder. Learnt something new today!
Brilliant craftsmanship !
Fantastic job and the dial restore great work👍
VERY NICELY DONE
That was a fantastic job well done, on the whole watch service, the dial repair was excellent, and top class.
First of all, let me say I was blown away with the dial restoration. Truly a work of art! That being said, I too have been working on watches (mainly American) pocket watches, and most all manner of clocks since 2001. I am fully self-taught. I had an actual watch and clock shop for 3 1/2 years. I've serviced and made parts for everything from Rolex's, Atmos clocks, anniversary clocks, and clocks from the 1820's. I have a few questions: What is the "household degreaser" that you use? It really seems to brighten up the gilded / brass plates and dials nicely. You obviously know what you're doing :-). Nice work on repivoting the center wheel on one of your other videos. I want to know what flea market you shop at :-). I get most of my stuff off "Flea-Bay". I rarely find the "jewels" you come across. Your videos are very well produced by the way. While I can't say I ALWAYS use "best practices" there are a few things that I noticed that I find troubling: The lack of use of gloves or finger cots when handling brass plates (like on the Lepine / Bar movement which was gorgeous by the way). The use of improperly sized screwdrivers. The "liberal" use of "glue" to secure jewels, which I was always told was "frowned" upon. When I fit a glass crystal I use a "syringe" applicator to carefully apply a thin line of adhesive around the "ledge" on the bezel. That glue is then cured under UV light. I've never seen anyone use 5 minute epoxy to set crystals. Might make it difficult for later watchmakers to remove the crystal. I understand these are your watches and not client's watches and you may do what you will with them. I just find these practices troubling as I said. And yes, I know, everyone is a critic :-)
I agree, although the dial restoration was nice, He used one oil on everything and drenched it. No gloves, so burned in fingerprints in a few Months, damaged screws from improper size screwdriver, etc. etc.
I'm trying to get into this hobby. I got some old pocket watches to tinker with but I feel hesitant to start opening the and tearing them down.
Bravissimo caro collega !!!!
I love watch dial that screams the time!
Nice job on that dial.
Los relojes mecánicos son un dechado de inteligencia Humana. Me encanta lo analógico, me subyuga ver el movimiento y lucha de fuerzas para producir un movimiento controlado y sincronizado.
Fine restored. Specially the dial restoration was excelent!
A quite beautiful pocket watch. Good job.
😍😍😍🎆
That is masterful, particularly with your left hand, I couldn't do half that with my right hand :).
Wow.. That was a pretty awesome restoration on that dial. Impressive ,! Kudos
Beautiful job, well done.
Omg. You are so good and did an excellent job!!!
Magnificent work, bravo!
Thank you for this amazing video.
Love your videos! Funny to see that Omega choose the numeral 4 to be “IIII” instead of the more common “IV”. Love the dial restoration as well!
It’s called a watchmakers 4, there’s quite a bit of history behind that.
@@NomadicPhoton well my evening is now planned, history reading it is
Great job on the dial, and the case work as well.
Well done sir. Wonderful job. Real artist
Wow! Good job.
Very nice looking job .
Good job, congratulations
I'm in awe, sir.
Perfectly done
It’s really fun to watch these videos but as a fellow hobbyist watchmaker I have to say I’ve never seen someone oil a watch like this, applying lubrication in the flat face of a jewel? Maybe this is common place on old pocket watch movements, in any case I love the videos keep up the work
Perfect, congratulacions
Hermoso trabajo saludos desde argentina
Great video thanks for the video
Interesting restoration of this old pocket watch! What kind of marker did you use on the dial? I am studying to become a watchmaker and I have a lot of old pocket watches with damaged dials that the similar trick would do wonders to!
Brilliant don't listen to the watch snobs
Maestro....regards from Equator
Brilliant.
Good. But what about when you have dial lines of 0.1 mm over a turned edge!
The work, so far looks good, but why you doesn’t use finger protection?
You are really good at restoring watches. Incredible! I was wondering, for a glass crystal, can you use one of those fancy crystal presses to install into the case ring? I've seen people use the press for acrylic crystals, where the press compresses the crystal around the edges so that it can fit snug into the case ring by tension.
Also, what kind of white powder do you use?
Great video, but the 8h roman numeral is missing a V...
Love your videos. No unnecessary babble, just to the point. What type of movement holder are you using? I find that most of the modern ones just plain suck.
Where can i buy this powder?
Very nice
Awesome restoration. Wow!!! It looks like a brand new dial. Great workmanship. By the way Sir, what's your name and where do you live? Love to hear from you. Thanks for this video.
All it took was swapping out a broken Seiko 7s26 for a 4r36 (runs at plus 3 per day) and down the rabbit hole I've gone....
interesante restauración
Amazing
Appreciate the information and your work is exemplary ....the result is what counts. I have got into a bit of dial repair and very difficult....I would like to know what the pen is you use and the ink in it..... Rapidograph pen? thank you for posting the Vid.
Thank you! I am using Copic permanent markers. I tried various, but these are the best.
@@FleaMarketRestorations thank you!
Magnificent watch!, Do you know how to remove cracks from a dial?
Appreciation. Very nice and fruitful. Kindly clear the grinding tools, glue type , powder name please. Regards with best wishes.
CHAMPION DU MONDE !
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Wow~ 👍👍👍
hello...very good work..i want to know what you use for repair the dial? Thank you.
The result is beautiful - but I wish you had explained the alcohol burner and the chipping part. I have no idea what you did in that section of the video.
Lovely job! What pen did you use to paint the dial? What liquid did you put on the hands?
You performed a miracle with that dial repair, that was a pleasure to observe, but what actually was that white filler powder?
It looks like you used a two part epoxy glue to fill the gap around a slightly undersized crystal, is that true?
Your remarking of the dial was pure artistry, you sir, have a steady hand.
This sort of skill level is indicative of why I subscribed.
Thank you for your kind words. Yes, I am using two part epoxy glue for the crystal.
I guess titanium di oxide.
@@FleaMarketRestorations What was the white powder?
@@denvernow7294 Enamel...?
Only 11:28 ... 🙄... lazy day... 🤣🤣🤣 PD: Good work!
Haha, thank you! :D
gran trabajo, que polvo blanco usas para reparar el dial
When you get to a point in life where you say "fuck it, I'll fix it with a sharpie" and it turns out great
That IIII instead of IV bothers me tough 🤣
Just watched the video again. I noticed something: There appears to be a "V" missing at the "8 'o clock" position? I'm sure you've already fixed it after the video was done 🙂
😳😩🤦🏼♂️ Doh!
Awesome video, this video made me subscribe to your chanel I was very impressed with the dial repair. I would love for you to fix (one of my many), pocket watch for me but not knowing where you're located at or if you're willing to do so?
Great job.... where can I get a bottle of that bluing for the hands
Uma pena que errou os números 4 e 8 romanos... Mas ficou bom o restauro do mostrador.
where can I find that powder?
After 7 comes 8 or am I missing something ?
Odlicno je ispao na kraju. Dugo vas nije bilo...👍🏼
Hvala Dusane. Mnogo znace lepe reci od vas.
@@FleaMarketRestorations Kako mozemo da stupimo u kontakt. Potreban mi je savet?
Wot things were u using on the watch
Gorgeous!!! Wath kind os dust did yo use for the hot ennamel?... Thanks!
Thank you! I am using powder for enamel repair. I bought it 15 years ago and label has fallen off in the meantime.
Parabéns pelo seu trabalho e compartilhar o seu trabalho com a gente abraços do Brasil
QUE PRODUCTO USA PARA RELLENAR LOS HUECOS DE LA PORCELANA
WHAT PRODUCT DOES YOU USE TO FILL THE HOLES IN THE PORCELAIN?
It looks awesome but.......Is the 8 o'clock roman numeral wrong? Looks like another 3 to me
You need to use a witchi bro :D
I don’t think you used enough oil. It seems like you only used about a half bottle worth. Haha. I don’t think I’ve ever seen someone use this much and then upload a video of it. I have some finger cots and gloves also if you need to borrow some.
Where can one obtain the powder for repair of the enamel or porcelain watch face?
What is the small heater meths
What kind of ananel powder and marker did you use?
What Pen did you use for the increments and numerals on the Dial?
What do you use for the dial restoration. Is it white shellac?
Som samouk,ale ciferník opravujem presne tak isto,mám práškový smalt,iba fixku by som potreboval tenšiu,tu sa predávajú fixky na cd,sú dosť hrubé,musím ich stenčiť žiletkou...
How does this repair costs?
What does restoration cost ?
Cuz i has another one from 1940
👍👏👏👏👏👏
😍🎆
4 = IV
8 = VIII
WHAT PRODUCT HAVE YOU USED TO MAKE THE RESTORATION OF THE SPHERE
I am using powder for enamel repair that I bought 15 years ago in Germany. I think the company is called Selva, but take it with a grain of salt, since the label has fallen off in the meantime.
Selva Product number 4640031 which I think is actually Bergeon 1590
@@FleaMarketRestorations OK thank you
@@1981juangato Efcolor enamel powder works or Bergeon dial paste. Both are inexpensive.
quite some effort, but you should have left the dial as it were, had more charm...
Thank you :)
😝
Il numero 4 in romani e sbagliato...IV questo è giusto. Il quadrante è da rifare
Pls, STOP this. In nearly every step this clip is is a very good example how to NOT do this kind of job. I can only appreciate the work o the dial but the work on the movement was a kind of an shock-therapy to me...
Quisiera saber qué material es el polvo que usa con calor para restaurar el cuadrante del reloj. Gracias!
