Trash to Treasure Ep02: Full Favor Automatic ETA 2783 Service | Vintage Watch Flip & Restore

Welcome to Episode 2 of my “Trash to Treasure” series – where I buy forgotten vintage watches, fully restore them, and flip them to fund the next project. In this episode, I restore a 1970s Favor automatic watch powered by the popular ETA 2783 movement — a reliable and widely used Swiss caliber known for its durability and ease of service. This video features a complete disassembly and full service of the movement, including oiling, cleaning, and regulation. Whether you’re a beginner or an advanced hobbyist, this step-by-step guide should help you better understand how to work on this movement. But the restoration doesn’t stop at the movement: I polished the mineral crystal back to clarity The case was cleaned and refinished And the watch was fully reassembled and tested Favor may be a lesser-known brand, but it has an interesting history. Originally founded in 1909 as Schätzle & Tschudin in Weil am Rhein, the company was Germany’s first to produce raw pocket watch movements. From the 1920s onward, watches were sold under the brand name “Favor” and often included Swiss influence and parts — culminating in the use of ETA movements in the 1970s. This Favor is one of the later models — and now, it’s ready to shine again.
