Longines Restoration - A Fallschirmjäger's Golden Gift
This time I restore a beautiful, and somewhat weirdly designed, Flagship watch by Longines. The watch has recently spent several years trapped behind a chest freezer but was eventually rediscovered by an old British Army colleague of mine, Sandy Carrick-Buchanan.

Sandy received this impressively finished Longines Flagship from his Godfather who was a German gentleman called William (Wilhelm) Suckro. William had served as a Fallschirmjäger in World War Two, had been captured and ended up living his post war life in Scotland.

    So why all the hate? It's a good watch and a reasonable price! Maybe Invicta should invest a little in a few better parts and raise the price to cover the improvement.

    I bought a used 1967 no-date Submariner in 1990😂. I traded it in on a new Submariner in 2002. If I had not gotten a good deal on my first, which turned out to be a quite desirable rare model no matter how skinned up it was, I would not have been able to afford the second. There has been a Submariner on my wrist nearly every day since 1990, only coming off for cleaning or service, or when I was in the hospital myself. My Submariner BELONGS on my wrist.

    My mother-in-law's beloved, 18k gold lady president had a stretched bracelet. It was super expensive to have the stretched bracelet repaired in the U.S., so we flew to Hong Kong with a bag of Rolex watches requiring service. The savings in cost of repairs paid for the trip.

    It’s never happened to me before but, my ultrasonic cleaner caused the outer coil retention guard on the balance to vibrate out. I managed to get it back in but it just fell out again. I was lucky to obtain a replacement cockplate but I won’t put future balances through the ultrasonic cleaner again. Beware!

    @24hourgmtchannel64 24 дня назад

    I came from the classic car world before entering watchmaking so maybe I approach things a bit differently but for rusty movements like this, after I remove the calendar disk I'd soak the entire movement in evaporust 24-48 hours before even attempting disassembly. It is not acidic like vinegar and will not harm the rhodium plating, which gives the best possible chance of disassembly without broken screws or other parts. I wish I could convey this to all professional watchmakers.
