Join me on this nerve-wracking, yet exciting journey as we restore a vintage 1944 Rose Gold Omega! I'll spill the beans on the challenges and triumphs. A huge shoutout to our amazing Patreon member whose generosity made this video possible. This watch would've normally been outside of my budget for project watches, but their kindness made this video possible. Thank you again. If you like vintage watch restorations, buckle up, because this one's a gem!

I've also received several requests for a listing of tools, both essential and non-essential for starting out working on watches. While the list isn't 100% comprehensive, it'll get you 95% there! There are far too many items listed, along with notes on several pieces. You can see & download the full list of parts & links (not all affiliate links) here:
