Restoration $4000 Breitling watch after motorcycle crash | destroyed Superocean Heritage Chronometer
This time I´m restoring a Breitling Superocean Heritage from 2012.
It´s powered by the famous Breitling B17 automatic-movement (based on the ETA 2824-2).
The retail-price of this diving-watch is $4,080 and it is chronometer-certified by the COSC.
This watch is badly damaged...
The movement is not working, the glass, the crown and the case are scratched. The bezel is destroyed and loose and even the strap is ripped off.
I need to clean everything up and polish the case-parts. Some parts are beyond repair so I need to replace the glass, the bezel and some other movement-parts.
After everything is cleaned and polished, I can re-assemble the movement with some fresh oil. After that, this watch is in a fantastic beat (+0 seconds per day) again.
I hope you liked this restoration, if so, like, comment and subscribe ;)

    Everytime I see one of your videos, I miss my Father (may G'd keep him at His side) saying to me: "There are no hard tasks, there are the wrong tools!"... How beatiful may be the work of a skilled watchmaker, well equiped and with an artistic eye for videomaking!!! Thanks a lot for your dedication to us, your fans!

    What I find incredible is how this video was created, and this being taken for granted is the best part of it, first as it looks and feels so natural you do not notice it, and second how difficult and time consuming it is to create something like this, all those camera angles and shots while actually doing this restoration, which is by itself a difficult and complicated job. Simply magnificent!

Superbly shot and loved the cool music on the outro. If I'm being fussy the cost of parts would be useful - just a guideline for those that love the smaller details. Great work.
