This time I´m restoring a Citizen Bullhead Chronograph. The watch become famous as Cliff Booth (played by Brad Pitt) worn it in the movie “Once upon a time in Hollywood” This watch is powered by the Citizen 8110A chronograph movement. The watch is in a really bad condition. The gold-plated case and the painted bezel is heavily damaged, the glass is scratched, the movement stops repeatedly and the bracelet is not original and broken. I need to get rid of the old gold-plating and the black paint, i´m using my new sandblaster for this job. After sanding and polishing the case, it´s ready for a new gold-plating. The bezel gets a new painting after polishing. I need to replace the glass and the crown. Crown and chronograph-pushers were gold-plated originally but Cliff is wearing it with silver colored crown and pushers. So I´m just polishing the pushers and waive the gold-plating. The hands can be polished but I need to re-paint the chronograph hands with a nice looking “orange”. The dial is hopeless. I can´t restore that one so I need to use my little time machine again. After everything is cleaned, polished, re-plated and re-painted, 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 😉 Subscribe to my channel: https://www.youtube.com/c/RedDeadRestoration?sub_confirmation=1 Music: “The Jam” by Slynk & Mr Stabalina Thanks to all my patrons
