I Traded Running Watches For A Non Running 60s Eternamatic Kontiki, Will I Be Able to Make It Work?

In this video I try to restore a watch to make it run again. The original owner said it would run and stop for the last year. However, when reviewing the watch it was not running at all! It was supposedly serviced sometime in the last 3 years..... Going to have to replace the crystal, as well as, find out what is stopping this 1960s Eterna Matic Kontiki 20 from running.

I'm always looking to buy pocket watches, wristwatches, watchmaker tools or parts. I sell, trade and repair as well. If you have any items you would like me to look at, please send pictures to my Email and I will get back to you as soon as I can. Preferably continental US. But open to outside the US as well, just a little harder with shipping and customs.

Excellent video Joe! The part with the mainspring made me laugh -- struggling with those springs can be a real pain 😂 Beautiful work.

Nice work Joe - love these Eterna Kon Tikis! So great to see your enthusiasm for their history and you enjoyed getting this one running once more - wonderful dial

I just found your video. I always liked these Eterna 20. One thing surprised me. I never saw the Oyster style bracelet that is on your watch. It really suits the watch. Do you know if it is stock?Usually, they come with a Gay Frères BOR bracelet.

What do you think now? Was it worth the trade?
