A machine called ‘The Flux Capacitor’. Either some humerous hubris with lasers and 3rd party stickers, or something more…we will never know.

I wonder: what was the client's goal?
The video started with ‘the client inherited his fathers watch that got salt water inside due to swimming in the ocean and forgetting to lock the crown’. It sounded like it happened early in the life of the watch, but the case wear says otherwise.

Me too. I really wish a restoration video wouldn't skip the restoration. Oh well. Fun video anyway.

Nice restoration but painful to see the polishing !!!
I don't think it's bad at all. Refinishing gets a bad rap. In skilled hands, it is great - even on a vintage piece.
