From scrap metal to valuable collectible | 1800s pocket watch restoration | 4K ASMR

In this video, I am doing a watch restoration of an old Seth Thomas pocket watch from the 1800's with a beautiful movement. Made by: Seth Thomas Watch & Clock Company Model: 2 Production Years:  1888 to 1900  I bought this pocket watch at an online auction. Watch was not in the working condition and was sold "for parts". To do a complete pocket watch repair, I had to do following things: Case was full of scratches. People usually don't know how to open this type of watch, so they're opening it with a screwdriver. I had to polish the scratches. Even greater problem that came out from this were damaged screw threads that prevented this pocket being fully closed so I had to clean the threads with a rasp. Also, in this video I am showing you how to open this type of pocket watch easily by yourself, but without damaging the case. Crystal was acrylic, very damaged, and certainly not appropriate for this type of watch. I replaced it with a brand new one made of glass. Crown tube was broken. Replacement was installed. Mainspring corroded, so I replaced it. Micro regulator was missing. I had to install the new one. Balance staff pivots were broken. I replaced the balance staff. Crown was not fitting, I replaced it with an apropriate one. Bow was missing, so I made a new one - of a wire hanger. Bow holder was missing on one side of the case. I made a new one from the scratch. For your viewing pleasure, I recorded this video in 4K ASMR format. If you enjoyed watching this video, please like and subscribe to support my work.
