Вставка
- Опубліковано 22 тра 2022
- Today we are fixing the beautiful Rolex Cellini. The watch is in a wonderful condition, made of 18k gold. It has a small, flat manual winding movement, furnished with 19 jewels. It was produced in 1964. However, currently it does not work. In this video, we will find out what the problem is and how to fix it!
The movement is a Rolex Calibre 1601, exclusively used by Rolex for the Cellini series. It has a power reserve of an amazing 48 hours at 19.800 A/h.

I think the Cellini is the most beautiful of Rolex watches. Don't like the others. But the fellow doing the rebuild here is incredible. Doesn't look like this is his first rodeo ! Great job and Great video !
Thank you for the wonderful comment, Edward! Glad you like the watch and the video ☺️
That’s a stunning watch! I don’t know why, but I like the less popular Rolex models, like the Cellini. I find the popular ones like the Submariner to be overly large and gaudy. I know, that’s an odd point of view. Great video. Thanks.
Thank you so much for the comment! The Cellini is a true rarity that you don't see very often :)
I agree i like the Rolex brand but,,,they’re very blingy..some designs that dont scream hey! I’m loaded..! Are nice..
I have the submariner and never wear it for that reason. However, the OP is my preferred selection and would probably suit the low key stylists' taste.
I agree with you. Me too. I prefer the vintage Roleces over the large GMT watches. If I could afford a new one, it would likely be the Milgauss
I have this same piece, recently serviced by Rolex.
Just found your channel and immediately subscribed. At last a real pro who does not talk and knows how to handle a camera. A most beautiful watch by the way.
Thank you so so much for the wonderful comment! It truly made my day and I genuinely appreciate your support ☺️

It really is more than just a watch. It’s a beautiful work of art. I know nothing about working on watches, but from what I can see seems like a masterful job at restoring this watch. 👏👏👏
Thank you for kind words ☺️
Thanks so much for sharing your talent.. Beautiful watch and movement. Looking forward to another half hour of entertainment.

Thank you for watching ☺️
That's a lovely watch, an heirloom worth preserving for generations to come!
Thanks for watching! It is a stunning watch, very happy with it ☺️
Simple yet stunning.
Truly a stunning watch!
I have a couple of Rolex, but not this exquisite Cellini although my sister has the moon-phase version that was gifted her some time ago. Your watchmaking video is absolutely wonderful and I thank you. My sister watched it with me so she could see inside the Cellini's watch case. She loved your video presentation also. Many thanks and best wishes from Wendi in the UK 🌻
Thank you so much for kind words ☺️
The stunning watch! Great video!
Thank you so much!
Beautiful watch and superb tools for sure...
Thank you, Mike! 😊
Absolutely perfect video, nice quality and beautiful image ! This Cellini is a lovely watch ! Final product is mint 👌✨
Thank you so much for the kind words, Alain! ☺️
Thank you for another great video
Appreciate the support ☺️☺️
Great video. I have a 1906 Elgin and a 1929 Omega that needs to be inspected and lubed. You inspire me to attempt doing this.
Thank you! Definitely give it a go ☺️
Incredible craftsmanship!! Lovely timepiece!! Peace brother
Thank you, Lee ☺️☺️☺️

That was Outstanding!!!
Thank you so much, Ernest ☺️
what a master piece love the elegance and top it off a Rolex, gotta love the work
Thank you kindly!
What a beautiful watch! I wouldn't have believed it was from 1964 since it looks almost brand new.
It really is! someone treat this watch carefully. Thank you for watching ☺️
Good work.
Thank you, Nikolaj! ☺️
Superb watch!
Thank you for watching ☺️
rolex watch is our favorite, it has the upper hand over other brands during its performance and quality
Keep uploading!
New project is in the works, stay tuned!
Great job 👌
Thank you, Mustafa ☺️
Great timepiece!
Thank you!
Fantastic work! Beautiful watch and one that isn't featured enough on youtube
Thank you so much for your continuous support, Jason!
Very classy watch without the seconds indication. Reminds me of ALS Saxonia thin.
Yes, indeed it’s very beautiful watch. Thank you for watching 😊
Amazing 👏🏻👍
Thank you ☺️
Great restoration by the way. One question - did you replace the buckle on the new strap with the genuine (presumably) Rolex one?
Just interested.
Thank you ☺️ Yes, the buckle is indeed the original Rolex one!
What a beautiful beautiful watch
Agreed ☺️
Amazing 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻
Thank you, Alan! ☺️☺️
I had a Cellini with the "jubilee" dial. Nice, very slim dress watch.
But I did a straight swap for an Omega speedmaster.
Both beautiful watches! Enjoy your Omega Speedmaster :)
good job
Thank you!
wow ,thats so neat , Why is there so little love for them .
I think this watches have their niche ☺️
Very simple design but gives classy look. I have an automatic Longines watch which hold the power less than 12 hours what likely is the problem ? Thank you for the advice. I did sent to a watchmaker for a service and manually wind the watch 25 turns in the morning.
That is definitely not normal! Unfortunately I cannot tell you without seeing the watch, there could be a myriad of different reasons, such as broken mainspring, etc
@@MagicWatchmaking it has been serviced lately, they didn’t say anything.
Beautiful machining. Broken mainspring was a surprise. Great restoration. & video
Thank you so much for the support, Ron! Very much appreciated 😊
Very careful servicing 🎉
i am a fan of roll - let.
A mí parecer y gusto encuentro este modelo de Rolex muy elegante y refinado.
Totally agree!
great job Maestro…one question: I saw you put some grease onto the barrel also ir you put a new spring, but some watchmakers didn’t do this…could you tell me why?
This watch is spectacular!
Thanks and regards…
New mainspring are mostly lubricated by manufacturers. I lubricate them on top of that with tiny amount of oil.
The watch is truly amazing 🤩
@@MagicWatchmaking Can you please tell me exactly what oil you put on the barrel? Did you use the 8200 inside the barrel too?
Overhaul is in progress. As an amateur, it is difficult to buy a mainspring winder, so I plan to buy a new mainspring. I think it will be of great help if you give me an answer.
For modern handwringing movement I use Moebius HP1300. For old movement with steel mainspring I use 8200.
@@MagicWatchmakingThank you for your quick reply. I am currently overhauling a watch rolex 5115(cal.1601) that looks exactly like the watch on UA-cam. Looking at the color of the grease, the one you used for this watch seems to be 8200, not hp1300, is that correct?
In this particular case I used 8200 as the new mainspring is lubricated by factory
what a beautiful watch.
Agreed ☺️☺️
Top. Serviços
Thank you ☺️
Beautiful
Thank you 😊
The Cellini really is a very handsome watch.
I agree ☺️

Thank you so much ☺️☺️☺️
Gorgeous
Thank you so much!
I bought a similar Rolex Cellini with a top nº5112 and a lower nº9574412 18K, in 1997, in Macao, China. Never needed repair or lubrification and still running beautifully. Can you tell me anything about it ? The one you are dealing with have to replace the main spring and my question is, why a so expensive watch needed to replace the mainspring while a common watch can have it for a whole lifetime ?
Hi Ambrosio! The mainspring on this watch was broken, so I needed to replace it. The mainspring is a part that wears down and replacement is part of a service. Sounds like you got very lucky! :)
it's a beautiful watch but I really like when they have a seconds hand, it just kinda indicated that the watch is doing something
I totally understand, but I think the silence calmness is also very beautiful :)
Dear,
What is the brand and name of the apparatus you used to open case back? Tnx
Horotec MSA 07.115
Thank you for watching
@@MagicWatchmakingthank you my friend. All the best
Perfection comes with patience
Thank you so much for watching ☺️
Now that is a truly beautiful piece, and a very nicely decorated movement. One wonders why it was up for sale, in that condition for that age it was barely used! Clean, lubricate, new mainspring is apparently the minimum work Rolex will undertake, so why did the owner want to sell it?
Either way you got yourself a nice Cellini.
Rolex would want to replace the dial and hands as in their stupid little minds a watch should look like it just came out the showroom. That's why most vintage Rolex owners avoid a Rolex service.
Thanks for watching, Alan! I have no idea why the original owner wanted to sell it, however, I got a wonderful watch out of it :)
Bear in mind that to get this item serviced by an official Rolex service centre may well cost you somewhere north of £600 and probably nearer £1000. Add to that the cost of a repair and it may well make more sense to sell it and hope to make more from it in a non working condition than fix it and sell it in a working condition. Factor in also that this is one of their less common watches, and furthermore from 1964 and the prices therefore may be considerably higher, assuming Rolex are interested in servicing and repairing it at all.
قمة البداعه
شكرا ماجد ☺️
Sempre gostei de relógios com números romanos, como esse, muito lindo ! Mas evito comprar quando o QUATRO não é romano .
It is indeed a very beautiful watch :)
I just knew when you opened the barrel that the mainspring would be broken
That’s why the watch was broken. Easy fix and the watch is really very nice. Thank you so much for watching 😊
Can you fix a seiko 1977 model watch?
Hi, I do not offer any related services, sorry! I recommend going to your local watchmaker :)
That is a beautiful,classy looking watch but I have to say I always find watches without the second hand strange. It is as if they are soul less. To me the second hand going around represents the heart of the watch beating. Even the older models with the sub dials somehow seem alive with that little hand ticking away.
I totally see your point; I do think that watches without the second hand have a calmness to them. It's definitely a matter of preference!
저도 그렇게 생각합니다
Ok
Is regular to put balance on table in this way ? 3:50 and 10:57
Hi Mladen! This is a special mat that does not harm the balance in any way :)
Patience, is a Virtue but this, is Torture! Many Congrats on the Cellini!
Thank you so much! Such a beautiful watch ☺️

Brown Matt finish strap will look better on this beautiful watch.
I find that the strap looks a lot better in real life! It was handmade in Italy, so it's a shame it doesn't seem to translate on screen 🥺
@@MagicWatchmaking It's a glossy strap so I thought it was stealing the limelight away from watch itself.
I might know where the NOMOS's idea came from
Thank you for watching ☺️
Have a great day
That's the only handsome Rolex watch I've ever seen.
Agreed! ☺️
Elegant
It's a beautiful watch!

It’s meant to be ASMR ☺️ thank for watching and kind words
How much can I expect to pay to get my 4112 freshen up ?
Hi William! It's impossible to tell from afar, I recommend going to your local watchmaker for an estimate :)
The way he put in the pushpins at the end just hurt me
Thank you for watching ☺️
Have a wonderful day
Untuk membayangkan saja aku sulit
I have a newer model of the beautiful Cellini DuTime. Wear that more than the PP.
It's a stunning watch!
Is all the Rolex watches are made by hand like this watch. It is very complicated to made a watch.
It is a very beautiful watch, but I'm actually not quite sure if this movement was made hand!
Expensive for a watch with no complications at all.
Rolex prices 🥲
Rolex..👍
☺️
so fishy that the barrel spring is broken like that
Very skilled work and could be nice watch, but the black strap ruins the look!
Thank you for watching☺️
Wich color you suggest?
@@MagicWatchmaking If I were to choose I'd rather buy brown with a hint of red. The one that goes well with gold.
That has to be the sexiest looking Rolex I have seen unique compared to all the other look all the same Rolex's
A truly beautiful watch :)
@@MagicWatchmaking Magnificent Job mate
Wayback 1994 While In Mumbai On A Business Bought A Cellini Rolex For $25 Thinking It Was Fake, My Friend Father Offered To Buy It At $35, Sold. A Few Days After My Friend Dad Had It Checked, Turned Out To Be A Genuine Cellini Rolex. Oh Mumbai 😥😥😥😥😥
Oh wow 😯 Lucky purchase and unlucky sale!
Using steel tweezers on a gold Buckle tang???
You are absolutely right, it would have been better to use plastic ones! I was so in the workflow that I completely missed switching out the tweezers. Luckily the buckle wasn't damaged!
Hmmm. I saw this I think on ebay. You out bid me lol
Oops 😜
@@MagicWatchmaking lol it's all good here. I've sneaked in a few winning bids on other ppl. One was a Rolex Day Date for repair. Best buy so far. I literally won it for 500 dollars. Seller believed it to be stainless steel. Nope. White gold😅😅
interested want to buy
For now it's staying in my personal collection 😄
Heven Alaskan Cooper for sell

Berapah bang
That strap looks like it's been purchased from Woolwrths.
I think it looks very beautiful in person! It was handcrafted in Italy, so it's a shame it doesn't translate on screen 🥺
If you change your mind, Let me know…🤠
Falso o legal
Oh no, not the ten past ten position, it's like looking in a catalogue or a shop window!
The smiling face of a watch 😉
@@MagicWatchmaking That's just psychological rubbish! What about 1:50?? I think a watch looks better showing 6 o'clock...
There is a lot of opinion about this. I agree it’s just rubbish… but nice rubbish ☺️ a watch like this looks beautiful any time
@@MagicWatchmaking It's a bit like prices, when they write £199.99, they really mean it's £200 - do they really believe people can't see the difference?
Beautiful Cellini, handle by a Master Watch Maker. Would you sell this watch? USD
Thak you for watching 😊 The watch is not for sale.
Why would it be risky if you great at restoring watches? That watch is 4K not running in the condition you got it in is a steal! Today that watch is 20k or way more I’m sure, Obama has one!
Looks amazing
Thank you, Joao! Well, in that case I'm happy that it was a steal 😉😊
Obama has the newer one, it's a completely different watch. I think in working condition with box and papers should be slightly under 4k, it's on the higher side if I'm being honest.
All the back cases must be of shappire, its a sin hidde de watchs movements
The movement is indeed very beautiful! :D
Would prefer if you gave us an commentary
Thank you for the feedback, Noel! Still experimenting with the content ☺️
