In this episode, we take a nostalgic journey back to a galaxy far, far away through the restoration of two iconic vintage Star Wars timepieces: the 1977 Texas Instruments "Vader" digital watch and the Bradley C-3PO & R2-D2 mechanical watch.

Follow along as I clean, polish, and revive these classics—bringing them back to life after decades of wear and storage. Along the way, I share some personal stories, history behind the watches, and even a look at a vintage Star Wars watch box with some unexpected nicotine staining from years past.

Whether you're a Star Wars fan, a vintage tech enthusiast, or just love a good restoration, this video blends nostalgia, history, and hands-on care for these collectible treasures. In the end, both watches find their place in a sleek protective display box, preserved for the future.
