Satisfying Restoration of a vintage 60´s Kingston mechanical Watch - Poljot 2409 caliber
This time I´m restoring a Kingston watch.
It´s powered by the Poljot 2409 caliber, a hand-wind movement with 17 rubis and a shock protection. It beats with 18000 bph and the lift angle of the balance is 42°.
The watch is in bad condition: The case is full of green patina/rust and the plating is damaged, the glass is heavily scratched and the movement isn´t running at all. The mainspring seems blocked and the time-setting is not working.
The mainspring is unbreakable, thats what the dial says. But unfortunately not un-"bendable"... the mainspring is done and I need to replace that one as well as the sliding-pinion (all teeths are broken off).
I need to clean the case in acetic acid to remove the patina and re-polish it. The glass will be polished and the movement cleaned. The crown is damaged so i need to replace that one.
After everything is cleaned and polished, I can re-assemble the movement with some fresh oil. After that, this watch is in a good beat (+1 second per day) again.
I hope you liked this restoration, if so, like, comment and subscribe ;)

@@RedDeadRestoration can I have one watch and I subscribe to your KZhead channel 😀
@@RedDeadRestoration the world War 2 watch my email is 266513@myclayone.net
These restorations is a one of the most relaxing and antistress videos!😊
Can't get enough of that wonderful Elma watch cleaning machine.
Does anyone else find these videos mesmerizing? Maybe it's my ADD, and my OCD.......the precision of the process, the order of the restoration and above all, the quality of the video editing is beyond remarkable. Every one holds a new promise....everything's going to be okay!
Red Dead Restoration and My Mechanics launching videos in the same day? Is this real life? Amazing restoration!
😀 That scooter restoration was awesome as usual
The only 2 restoration channels I subscribe to are My Mechanics and Red Dead Restoration. I feel like their standards are a bit higher
@@lindabyn77 If you like cars, specially BMWs, take a look at M539 Restorations, might like it!
Love this channel. Hate people talking all over restorations. I like the natural sounds and anything that needs to be said can be written as a subtitle. Great job!
Good way to relax after a video game night session and get a proper sleep ;)

I realize I am kinda off topic but does anybody know of a good website to stream newly released tv shows online?
@Byron Kaiden I use flixzone. Just search on google for it :)
@Marcel Casey yea, I have been watching on flixzone for years myself =)
As a mechanic, I am in love with your tools. Also, as a mechanic I know the tools can't do a thing unless in the hands of a master. Outstanding video and workmanship. Thank you for the post.
Im officially obsessed with this channel
I liked the watch itself. Very stylish and elegant 😍.
Drinking a coffee, Saturday morning and checking this video, nice way to start the weekend.
All the sounds in these videos. I can’t think of anything more soothing.
Once again a splendid video! I have serviced many watches with this movement, during 55 years @ the bench! How gratifying to know that my life long craft is in good hands for the future, at 71 i do not know how many more years i can still carry on! So my best wishes & happy watchmaking. With all good wishes, John Anderson, watchmaker. W/sussex. England.
Among other similar channels, your channel is the best. I really admire your craftsmanship and peace of mind.
Your work is MAGIC !
Thats why i prefer this channel: no talkig, Time less
Watching old broken watch transform to nyw shiny watch is such a satisfaction 🌟
Lovely restoration...Sir....Great Apprauch...Thanks very much.✌
this beauty comes back to life. thank you 👍🏻
Great to see how you turn a piece of scrap in a little diamond. The before and after-pics are stunning. 👍👍👍
Kingston watches are so elegant I can't describe what it is but they are my favorite.
You did an awesome job on this watch! I also like that you don't talk, so relaxing!
You and My Mechanics are my favourite two channels!
Excdelent work, excelent using of tools, no overrestoration, respect to the originality of the watch and its age, excelent filmed, excelent details (oiling, mainspringwinder).....
Watching your videos is so relaxing :)
It is so exciting to see that hairspring and escape wheel burst into life. I feel like cheering! I thoroughly enjoyed the video.
Золотые руки у мастера! Спасибо за наш Полёт и Ракету!
Не ваш* ,,Полёт,, и не ваша ,,Ракета,,!это вы их скопировать!!!😎😋🐰🐀🐀🐀⛄🌼❄
Oh my god, this is gorgeous! Richest beauty carefully brought to life by you. The best part is the quality and love and respect you show towards us the followers and you great attitude! My warm hugs for you, sir!
Splendid descriptive video. No talking so one can concentrate on what is being done. Thanks to you
Now that's a bad-ass glimpse of the KZhead 100k subscriber plaque. Congrats!
Incredible....I can't believe how good the crystal came up...this was a total joy to watch..
Professional 👍 have a nice day)
This is amazing work. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Easy to see how you received a KZhead subscriber award. Love the vids and thank you for great content and “edutainment”!!!
absolutely smitten by this watch, perhaps its blend of unpretentious and sophistication in addition the tan band really complements its suave image. No watch resto compares to this channel, thank you.
Fascinating!!! I’ve watched them all. I have so many questions.
Watching your videos is my meditation
Amazing work. Love this channel. Watch almost daily.
Your editing was as beautiful as the restoration itself! Spectacular! 👏
good
Thank you very much I’m a beginner in this hobby and I’m working this mouvement and your video was a life saver! Great work!
Very satisfying work! Steady hands and highly organized tools and workplace. Still watching for more.
Wow...What a transformation, from old to new looking. Great job on the case and the new crown really tops it all off. Strap is cool and adds to the character of the watch.. Like it alot. Kudos to you...
Great My friend. You are very talented. Congratulation from Turkey🤗
I am enjoying whatching. Great your channel
Good video, thanks for posting. For some reason very soothing to watch them being taken apart, fixed and cleaned.
I have a 1963 Benrus 17 Jewel front loading SS case. The dial is just like this one. I really enjoyed your work. I'm glad I found your channel.
Yes very reassembled great job..today where are those genuine people 🙏👍
this is nice to watch and relaxing asmr good to sleep
Beautiful and relaxing , even like the sounds of clicking etc 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Only a word: perfect!!!!
I like the classic design of the 60s-70s. The electro-chemical coating of the dial is resistant. And the mechanism is strong and accurate running should be. Я такие ремонтировал лет 45 - 50 назад. Где же они так... забыты были? S-образная пружина даёт более стабильный крутящий момент. Не правда ли? Механизм в идеале, а корпус пострадал. Мне зрение не позволяет уже. Хоть на Вашу работу посмотрю. Вспомню молодость. Спасибо мастер
Great work very well done 👍
Youre work makes me relaks.
"Unbreakable mainspring" they said… 😅
Well, it didn't break, it just wore out.
You are a really distinguished technician👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
It's always nice to see such accurate work

Your work is ridiculous my friend!! The precision of your tools and your hands. It's incredible!! The sounds in this video are premium ASMR! GOOD JOB MY FRIEND!!
