Restoration of a Rusty Bruno Söhnle Glashütte Automatic-Watch - Sellita SW-200 Full Service
This time i´am restoring an automatic wristwatch. The model is called
"Lagomat" and it´s made by Bruno Söhnle in Glashütte (Germany).
It is powered by an Sellita SW-200 movement, made in La Chaux-de-Fonds
(Switzerland) and modified by Bruno Söhnle. The saphire crystal is
surrounded by a rose gold ion-plated stainless steel bezel. The black
dial with rose gold indices and hands complete the portrait of this
elegant dresswatch priced at approx. 1300 USD.
Unfortunately the watch isn´t running at all, the crown-stem is
broken and there is quite some rust inside this beautiful movement.
The watch and especially the strap is dirty and smells awful.
It seems like some of the rust and dirt has found it´s way to the
dial as well and the hands have tarnished over time.
After disassembling the watch, the movement starts moving again.
But as expected, the movement is in a pretty bad condition and loses
several minutes a day. I need to disassemble the whole movement,
clean all the parts and re-assemble it with some fresh oil.
The crown-stem has broken off flush on the crown. No chance to get
it out by handtools, without damaging the crown itself. After 1 week
in an alum/water-bath the stem has dissolved completely and
a new stem can be mounted.
Dial and hands are cleaned and after some slight polishing of
the case and bezel, the watch can be assembled again. Treat this
watch a new strap and enjoy it on the wrist.
A small downer: The rosegold bezel has some slight signs of wear-off.
Re-Plating the stainless steel bezel is a pretty expensive job,
even more if the color shade should match the original. That´s why
i leave it as it is.
I hope you liked this restoration, if so, like, comment and subscribe ;)

These videos are perfect. Love that there is no narrating; all you hear is the clicks when pieces fall into place. Super relaxing and satisfying. Great job please keep it up.
Exactly... In your silence is the perfection
Jorge Custódio Definitely the full ASMR effect with this guys vids
That's true, I have to try that also on my channel :-). He is doing a realy good job.
@@MrInterkid ⁶😉
Don't forget the socks
So relaxing. No music. No narration. Just the sound of watch tools and movement... Perfect.
I Think what makes these Videos awesome is that it's all About the Artistry.....And not about Self Gratification...How many videos have we watched that is about the Individual and not the work being done ........This Brother doesn't find it necessary to even show his Face.....All About the "CRAFT''.....Well Done Young Man
I need more videos!! I've watched all of yours at least 5x times each, they're super relaxing and I love watching the craftsmanship
Same!!!
Please
Hell yeah keep them coming!
How much watch
Same haha, maybe some even more 😂
Die Videos haben eine unglaubliche Ästethik. Man muß beim zuschauen die Luft anhalten. Ganz großes Kino. 👍
How could somebody let this watch age that bad? Marvelous restoration job as always!
Thank you for not talking...the video and sound are great...I feel so good when I hear your breathing and the sound of your tools clearly...whenever I'm tired and come back from work, and a lot of time I watch your channel's videos before going to sleep...thank you♥️♥️♥️👍👍👍👍
Lets blow this channel up!!! Quality content. Not like those fake "I happened to find a watch in a rice field that needs restoration" channels that gets millions of views pretending to restore fake watches.
100% agree 👍
Lol I saw that one, well the first 30 seconds before I stopped watching.
Music 🎶?
It's after 2am and I'm watching these to soothe me into sleep. Better than Valium.
funny. same here :-)
I just marvel at how small, intricate and delicate some of the parts of the watch are, and not just that he can remove them, though also that someone made them and fitted it all together in the first place!
I’m am just so impressed that you are able to keep you hands so incredibly still. Putting that jewel in the balance wheel pivot would have given me way too much anxiety. Incredible work!
Dude, you are like the Swiss Watch of Swiss Watch restoration.
Great work on a watch that has not had a good past life.
This person has golden fingers. The precision of the gesture is close to perfection, they are rare people because to refurbish this kind of broken thing is a feat. It's a company with a lot of people who made this watch. While he is alone
Thanks I appreciate that 👍😉
Die Geduld brächte ich im Leben nicht auf. Super Arbeit!
How incredibly satisfying this process is.
Stunning work . It took me an hour to put a second hand back on , cased it up and it fell off ....Thanks for sharing your skills with us .
Merveilleux. J'adore qu'il n'y ait pas de musique, ni de bruit autre que les bruits du démontage...Tellement relaxant.
I've always wondered how my automatic watch was built inside. This was very satisfying to observe.
Just the type of Asmr channel I have been looking for!
Fascinating skill demonstration, making each part must be even more intricate.
There is something so relaxing when viewing your videos. I also love the wimsy you add at times. First class all the way.
Something extremely satisfying about watching you work. Lovely to see such skill and care. Making it like new again instead of conforming to the throw away culture we live in Also such a wonderful degree of craftsmanship to create the movement to begin with.
Never heard of the watch brand but it is beautiful and the internal craftsmanship is awesome. Thanks for the video...very enjoyable.
Neat trick using potassium alum to dissolve the broken stem in the crown.
Can’t stop watching your videos.
Brilliant piece of work on a fine watch. Thanks for taking the time to make these videos for us.
the decorations on that selitta are incredible
Also nice how you fixed the broken stem in the crown, good job!
What up, Red? When I found you last month I commented on how much I like your videos. I especially like no narration. The ASMR thing really works for you. And all your little gimmicks & shticks are a crack up. The Time Machine and those socks are my favorites. So I thought I’d take a look at how many videos you’ve got racked up and noticed you’ve only got 37 over the last 3 years. So I was like, oh hell yes siree Bob, I can go back to the very beginning and watch… pun intended… you from the very start and be up to speed in a couple of days. So I got some ‘watchin’ to do. And, FYI, I’ve watched a bunch of other videos and I’ve got to tell you, I really, really like your style
Beautiful job in a lovely watch , I never knew that “Alum” was so powerful, saw it as a comedy item on old Loony Toones cartoons😐😐😂😂👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👌🏻
Awesome skills. It's amazing the effort behind the designing and how such small parts are made.
Really good techniques and skills rarely found these days
Where ever you find these watches please let us know. I would like to stay away from these people. Anyone who treats a watch like that has serious issues. Or did the prior owner loose his life in that tragedy? But as always you do an awesome job. Hey there us a Chinese watch repairer on here that pulls them out of the dirt, out of the ocean and even rusted solid and even in concrete. He works unrealistic miracles in had fantasy world. He should watch your channel. At least your restorations are real. Sir. You do fantastic work! Thank you for another fine video!
Throwing the band in the bin got me
Skill and art to bring this back to life.
That is a beautiful watch. I do not know much about watches YET but this watch struck me as a quality product. It never occurred to me that Germany made any kind of quality watches . but in my opinion this watch looks fantastic.
Germany is making some awesome watches. Glashütte Original, Steinhart, Nomos, Sinn, Laco, Junghans... for example 😉
Die Uhr hat Stil. Gefällt mir das Design!
Absolutely beautiful craftsmanship! Job well done!
Thank you for the intricate and fascinating videos.
This watch is perfect. Your job is excellent. Thank you.
Your videos are like therapy, please continue to making them :)
You can actually see the dirt hop off in the ultrasonic thingy! Beautiful restoration, no music as well (Thanks!).

Well done... That came up great.. Really classy with that new brown leather 👌
