[ASMR/CC] Worth it to Electroplate? JunghansVintagee Quartz Watch

Please turn on subtitle/CC for commentary

Dear watch lovers, welcome to the @NoobWatchmaker channel!

My name is Joon, and I'm a noob watchmaker since summer 2023.
Most of my tools featured in this video are from Aliexpress, and some were 3D printed at home.

In this episode,
I attempt to restore the case and glass of this cool vintage Junghans from the late 70s or early 80s.

Please comment below if you have any questions or advice. Thanks in advance.

This was a complete restoration of the J93 Trilastic watch. However, I refrained from uploading the plating process to shorten the video. If you want additional info or footage, let me know!

Thank you very much!
