Any thoughts not available on this old T R Russel pocket watch. I am repairing it for someone and not sure it’s linage and value.

A Thomas Robert Russell pocket watch dated to 1892.

Here's some history on this maker: https://www.timewornwatches.co.uk/manufacturers/thomas-russell-son/

Value? Unlikely a lot but worth taking a look at ebay sold items to get a better idea.

Your vids are great watch them all the time. The issues you seemed to have is the same I had when first purchased. You will find your preferred methods and cleaning solutions. For the really grubby parts I pre- clean to prolong the cleaners life.  I would not dry for more than 5 mins thou.

Excellent story. This watch has both the royal and the admiral markings so it was likely made around 1890s. Big thanks for the references. Let us see if I can repair it.
