Cool YouTube video; restoring a 1968 Datejust
An amateur watchmaker bought a non-working 1968 Datejust at a bargain price on ebay and recorded disassembling, finding the problem, cleaning and lubricating, and reassembling it. Apologies if this has been previously posted.

There are a couple of channels that highlight this kind of "rescue". It really makes you understand the amount of work that goes into it.
Great vid, thanks for sharing.

An interesting video, especially when he finds out what is causing the problem, and easily corrects it. All hobby watchmakers should be so lucky!
