Really cool. The chances of me working on a watch are 1/2 the odds of me winning the lottery, and I don't buy tickets. Still, that was neat to see the process.

I wonder how much that same watch sells for now, as a new in the box, and what that restoration costs. Cost is not why it was done, it was to save a cool old memento. That was not a "cheap" watch new. About $800 today. No Rolex, but still a nice watch.

It is great there are still folks in the world with the specialized tools, and the knowledge to do that. He for sure does not do it just a hobby.
