This time I am doing a pocket watch restoration of an antique Longines pocket watch, cal. 21-54, stainless steel model.

The mechanism of this model dates back to the year 1880-1890. Since it has a Kingdom of Serbia coat of arms on its back, I am assuming this pocket watch belongs to the pre-1914 era.

There were several issues with this pocket watch restoration:
- It was extremely dirty
- Glass was missing
- Dial was damaged
- Case front was cracked
- Barrel bridge was in bad condition
- Case back had a dent
- Hands were missing
- Top bow was in bad condition
- Balance bridge needed a fix.

Please let me know what you think about my pocket watch restoration in the comments below the video.
