I Turned A $10 Pocket Watch Into A $1000 Wristwatch - you can too - DIY asmr

[@NekkidWatchmaker]

Hi everyone. You’ve all been asking for links to the parts. I got them from eBay but I’ve added some parts on my amazon page link in the description. I couldn’t find the same case on amazon so shop around and get the best deal for yourselves. Also please manage your expectations with the quality of some of these parts as I have not tested parts from all these suppliers. Good luck and happy tinkering

Sigh...When I was 11 years old I fixed Timex watches. And researched "Watchmaking" in the local library. At that time the best resource was the Reader's Guide to Periodical Literature in the public library. But that was just before the Quartz revolution and I abandon my aspirations to be a watchmaker when that happened because literally nobody wanted a mechanical watch anymore. sigh again. Now there is KZbin. And I am extremely grateful for folks like you, Mr Nekkid who so generously share their knowledge and skill. An thanks for the encouragement to get back to at least trying to do it again...i just love watches.

Thanks for this. The Unitas/ETA 6497/98 series of movements are my favorite for these types of conversions, flieger watches, and overall ease of learning for beginners. I have a number of watches I've created for myself, family members, and customers over the years. I still find myself on occasion scanning eBay for original Unitas branded movements. I also love the variety of skeleton and plated versions to spice up pieces without dials or with just a chapter ring.

[@MrSloika]

A few issues need to be addressed with this video. Fist off the Unitas/ETA 6497 is still in production by ETA. The movement is offered in a number of grades from plain vanilla to highly decorated chronometer rated versions. The basic 6497 can be purchased for around $200 Murican. Currently a watch parts supplier in California has new 6497 movements on sale for less than $200. Good luck finding a pocket watch powered by the 6497 on fleaBay. The auction site junk watch peddlers are demanding more money for beat up 6497 equipped pocket watches than the price of a new 6497 movement. As regards the 40 dollar Asian 'clone' movements, you get what you pay for. The Asian clone movements, which are new, will need servicing right out of the box if one desires acceptable performance. If one is happy with the sketchy performance, or places no value on one's own labor, go for it. If you want to build a watch like this, my advice is to start with a new ETA 6497 movement.

[@rickansell661]

I see someone is using a Pocket Watch as a a Desk Clock lower down. It was over 35 years ago, but when I worked on a farm the Tractor Driver hung his Pocket Watch in the cab. With the dirt and grime and moving machinery a Wrist Watch was going to be battered and could be unsafe. So the Pocket Watch hung in the cab or was carried a pocket, in a round padded tin that protected the gold from the farming. Even my cheap Casio came off and was pocketed whilst I worked on my job on the trim and pack line, gritty dirt, dirty water, and hard steel are not kind to watches. We all used the wall clock rather than watches in the Packing Shed but, of course, the Tractor Driver couldn't read that from out in the fields and, in those days, his cab didn't have a clock (at least, not one that worked) and mobiles, the modern replacement for the Pocket Watch, didn't exist. ... I use an old, much battered and loved, Mobile, without a SIM Card, as my Desk Clock.
