These videos are nothing short of meditative.
Agreed
+Stig Hansen that and there isn't any annoying background music.
Agreed. I love listening to these at work to drown out the noise from the cube farm.
If we could just get GentleWhispering to do the narration.

I love watches, I love watching you fix watches.....I can watch you do this all day long. After typing that I realized it could come off as a joke but I meant it whole heartedly, you're amazing. What makes your channel so good is during the repairs you take the time to name the parts and explain what you're doing. Thank you for doing these.
I take my hat off to you Sir! Reassembling the movement was a joy to watch and I am very impressed with your skills and knowledge.
The work that goes into making timepieces like this is incredible.
A bottle of wine, and this video...just took 10 years of stress off my shoulders. ☀️😎☀️
Strangely therapeutic!
How in the world did man conceive this design? It’s layers upon layers of flat sections, like pie crust. Simply amazing.
Such a pleasure watching you work. With steady hands and cool calm reassuring voice. Much like surgeon in operating theatre.
First success watch was the Rolex Presidential bought roughly in 1992 and for another item was the Rolex Daytona (all gold, with the Zenith movement) but during my divorce it became painfully aware that I had not succeeded. I sold the Presidential in 2002 but no one will take my Daytona. An incredible video, I cofounded a SW company but this is “My Hats Off” compliment to the repair or builder of the watch repairmen, you are diligent and precise, bloody well done....
Very nice job done. Watching this video was more relaxing than a Thai massage. Thank you.
And the Happy Ending is less messy.
good job you didnt have stopwatch on :}
After watching a bunch of these videos I'm starting to get a feel for how things go back together once disassembled, but I can't fathom how you tell which screw goes where. I'm in awe of your patience and skill.
A real engineer working on a beautiful, precision instrument.
Sir I watched your video servicing that Valjoux 7750 and enjoyed it immensely. Looking at that Valjoux 7750 and the condition that it was in I honestly didn't think that you could have brought it back to life but you did. I have to commend you on a job well done and you should keep up the good work. A big thumbs up for you Sir. I will continue to watch your videos because I do enjoy them.
I really have to give credit where credit is due. I looked at the task at hand and see that it was a difficult task based on the condition of the watch. And with those magic fingers of yours and your knowledge you transformed that watch. I still say a BIG THUMBS to you.
Strangely, this is one of the most cathartic and relaxing things I've ever watched on UA-cam. As a watch geek and Breitling owner myself, this was basically "WatchPorn" LOL. I need a cigarette now.
Same page there *ShempBob* . . .
agreed !
Exactly!
This is not my normal type of video i watch, It poped up on my feed. Out of curiosity I then started to watch it i could not stop. What an amazing talent you have, And thank you for sharing.
Its videos like these that make me appreciate the Timepieces I have even more! Much respect tho this man!
What a fantastic skill! I wanted to say that this isn't watch repair, this is surgery, but it's more or less been said. I have an old Breitling
'Top Time' from the 70's that could do with this sort of treatment. I hit it on a street bollard several years ago and it has never recovered. Excellent work.
Mine was a1967 navitimer cosmanaute It cost 150.00 USD
Truly gifted, gifted, gifted....oh and your memory must be astonishing!!
I can't imagine having such talent! You're nothing short of a physician of time pieces!
This is the only comment section on UA-cam where no one tells the creator that he's doing it the wrong way.
He touches everything with naked fingers. I would never give him my watch, it would come back full of grease marks oxidising (getting brown) over time.
Thibaut Barthélemy I would think you’d lose all dexterity wearing any gloves.
Jems Meneses
a very accurate observation from u sir, and i totally agree.
Ultra sonic cleaner would have made things much better, that's what I would have done to guarantee proper cleaning
@@roulanalvarez3951 _I'm in!_
WOW! and again...WOW! I've ALWAYS been partial to wind-up watches and really do appreciate Bulova, Elgin and others I own. Swiss movement in particular continues to keep time exceptionally well 😊My point is...I appreciate ALL my time pieces SO MUCH MORE after watching you re-create beauty 😊! My city grandfather was a GIFTED TALENT as you are and his home was filled with so many beautiful loud, musical clocks and projects in different stages... THANK YOU for sharing and FLOODING me with amazing childhood memories 😊! I know I got my joy of collecting melodic clocks and wearable, useful time pieces from watching the pleasure he got from working on them 😊 THANK YOU again and God bless you and yours 😊
Best thing I have ever seen. It is like surgery.
Agreed... one of the best videos I've ever watched. (No pun intended) :-)
And so much less gory ;-)
Hats off chap. I couldn't do that puzzle if it was 10 times the size. You've got to know your tiny parts. Nice work
Great video! It would be weird if there was a subculture of people who enjoyed watching me do my job, but I still enjoy watching some people do theirs. This is so much better than watching cat videos! Thank you for an outstanding video. That was so much fun to watch.
This is like watching Bob Ross painting, you KNOW you're in the presence of a master.
I always wondered about the complications of fairly high end watches.
This was a real joy to watch.
Thanks for posting, liked and subbed.
Me and my girl are watchin this and we're having a blast
Puns and Funs?
Making time?
My heart is shrinking about my knowledge when I see your stunning craft
For the love of God, how do you know what part goes where as well as which screw was used?! SO MANY PARTS!!!
Thanks for the video, was super interesting.
You are looking at a watch-surgeon performing a whole body surgery operation. Successful Operation!
I can do this and even I got an extra part when I'm done!
🤣
Before I married my wife, her dad would repair her car. He'd almost always end up with a ziploc bag full of miscellaneous nuts and bolts and bits of kit. She had a theory that if she let him work on it long enough, she'd end up with enough baggies of parts to build herself another car. :D
I had a half dozen lug nuts left over... LOL
I could do way better then you. I would have all the parts. I just won’t have them put together 😂😂
First of all, the level of craftsmanship exhibited here is a wonder to behold. Some questions: how many years does it take to achieve this level as a craftsman? Beyond knowing to to handle the parts, repair them, remove rust, etc. How long does it take just to remember what all those tiny things do and where they go? Thanks for sharing this with us. Just a reminder of how amazing old world craftsmanship can be -- people who devote entire lives to just getting it right.
My goodness, what talent you have. The service alone was amazing but taking the time to record and explain everything as you went along is truly going the extra mile. Thanks so much.
Talent for sure, but try to rebuild such a clock without video documentation of its dismantling:))
@@dropanatomicbombonchina2565 why are you spamming this comment??
Incredible work Mark. I thoroughly enjoyed watching it. Your patience and skills are nothing short of amazing. Thank you for sharing!
Awesome patience and talent! How do you remember the order and location of these parts? Astounding memory! How could anyone do this to such a finely crafted watch? Criminal neglect!
i began as an apprentice. the master whom i worked with/for passed away. :( so alot of this. i had to teach myself. including assembling a 7750bought a couple non operational units from ebay, one not worth repairing, and one i will eventually. but this sir has to be the most thorough video of a repair ive ever seen./ thank you. and yes i did subscribe.
This video was amazing, this looks Harder than open heart surgery
my thoughts exactly, my hands are cramping just thinking about it
That's because it's open watch surgery.
@@TheBierzeit Tony that was classic. Classic.
Don't know much about repairing watches, but this is such a relaxing thing to watch
I'll admit it, I got a little verklempt when the watch started ticking at 5:04.
Fred Grabara Yes - it's encouraging when you see life when death is suspected :)

Just bought a new Zodiac with this movement, amazing piece of engineering! Thanks for great demo on rebuilding the watch. Your a very talented jeweler.
This is why I love the Valjoux 7750. It's incredibly resilient.
Fascinating, you have the patience of a saint!
That's interesting that once you pulled out the shaft connecting the chrono it sprung to life!
Thank you so much for this video. I appreciate your precision in the handling of the mechanism, something very British on the other hand. That partly explains why UK it's a great country. It has a very meticulous professionals. On the other hand, even though my understanding of the english is not very good I have to thank you for your good pronunciation which has allowed me to understand all your explanations without problem, which is not always the cae.
I spended for some while whatching this vedeo and only one thing can i say:Yes Sir.. You by your self,are a Masterpiece with two golden hands.👍 Thousands likes .
that was an intense watch of a watch
It i a great pleasure to have chance to see such a intricate work . I bet , just based on this video many famous brands would hire you on the spot .
Brilliant videography and craftsmanship!!
This video is one of my favourites from the 'Watch Repair Channel.'
All excellence is Art. Not all art is excellent. . Your Quality is King. Thanks for the great view on your work!
I didnt understand watch repairing but this is the right tutorial its good for a guy who have knowledge on this kind of work they can catch this easily
Holy crap, I would like to see how those small parts are made...
watching ur videos made me appreciate my automatic watch even more. thank u for sharing your amazing skills.
Even with a diagram, I have no idea how one organizes and keeps track of all of the tiny components within a watch. I'll leave that line of work to the experts, but I'll always enjoy observing. Thanks for sharing!
I found this so fascinating. I do not repair watches, but this video came up and I was so intrigued I watched the entire video. Excellent work. I will view others you make as well.
I'm curious about how much a service like this cost - both in time and labor. I hope that's not something we're not supposed to ask...
John -- I had Breitling provide a CLA on my Chronomat (basically the same watch and movement) about 10 years ago. $850 USD. Came back looking and working like new.
I have chopard mile miglia with water damage like this. I want to get it repaired. Hoping it cost around 800 - 900, its a 7000 dollar piece amd limited edition of only 10000 pieces
So moving to see the watch come to life as you dismantle it. Amazing video, thank you! 🙏❤️👍
Lots of patience and steady hand. Great watching.
I enjoy your channel so much, calm me down seeing your working. Thanks to put all process out there...
Afgetrede Marine Master Machinist, baie beïndruk met u werk. Nou weet ek waarom ek met reuse-reduksieratte gewerk het. Dankie!
Trubble en Freddie...Cape Town, SA.
I think with your skill set you can call the rapid day changer anything you dam well please! Many cams, springs and plates to assemble; you're astounding!
Lovely video very relaxing to watch, my question is how/where do you learn this trade??
+SuperJackdaripper go.osuit.edu/academics/watchmaking/
Love your running commentary, much like a tense snooker match...
Excellent work. You must have patience. Russian watches you not working?
It is astonishing too see a complete restoration of eta 7750, respects to you.
Attempting to service mt first 7750 this week thanks for the video big help 👍🏻just finished was all good apart from showing 2 springs and setting thr min counter up but now sorted really appreciate your vids
Pushed into a pool? More like found dead at the base of a fish hatchery....
Believe me! The chlorine in the water will do a very quick job rusting steel like this. It is worse than salt water. It even stains and rusts certain types of stainless steel.

And I thought that the watch was water proof at a certain depth.
It is...but not if you leave the crown up and not screwed down as in this case. Which he states at the start of the video.
I see, thanks.
Very interesting and well made video, impressive crafts. I don't think I should try this myself, not even on a less expensive watch, but very fascinating to see how a real craftsman performs the art of making those tiny mechancs work. Thanks for sharing.
Phantastic clip of this small world of rotating parts!
Excellent & informative Video. I have never seen how a watch is being composed of. It is really fascinating to say the least. Thank you for posting it on UA-cam.
One of my favorite movements and a real pleasure to watch this one getting de-gunked and revived. Thanks for posting this.
i took a moment here to think about my best achievment or best thinking and i felt like if that was my best and my reach across the biss of the wonders of the world i could only imagine the mind of this fella or a watchmaker, sitting there contiplating i think another round of sprockets will do ,lol. amazing video my man beautiful relaxation.
Brilliant technique, as well, what a wonderful demonstration of patience!!
I don’t know how you remember where each bit goes when you put this back together!
I found on the ETA website the correct placement for the day and date changing wheels. My question is at what location do you place the hour and minute hands?
Without the hands fitted: pull the crown into the hand setting position, then turn the crown (making sure the hour wheel is turning clockwise, using an eyeglass to observe the hour wheel is going in the right direction helps) and keep turning slowly until the day and date changes, immediately stop and you know the watch is at 12 o'clock midnight - then you are good for fitting the hands accordingly :)
I hope this helps.
Thanks! I took the day/date plate off and found out that the wheels were in the correct location so I just had to reposition the hands like you said. It was good that I took the dial off because the screws for the day/date plate were loose. Used watch from ebay so I not surprised. This movement keeps time very well.
I think this answers my question on your overhaul of the Rolex GMT as well thanks
iF YOU USE YOUR BRAIN YOU WILL FIND THE ANSWER, the watch change day at midnight , right? If i were you i wouldnt touch on that watch
Man im so high i dunno how i got here. But how theraputic? I absolutely loved every second of this thank you good sir.
I love your videos.
You could of made this video three hours long if you wanted to .its incredibly soothing to watch and fascinating so I wouldn’t fall asleep. No matter what’s going on in my life watching disassembling and reassembling movement it’s quiet amazing!
You said its not perfect. Well it looks perfect to me. Well done I admit I wouldn't know where to start.Many thanks and all the best.
Just got my second 7750. Going to dissect one.
I can't stop Watching these videos... There so relaxing
I am new to your channel. It is quickly becoming my favourite. I must say I like all of the episodes, but particularly those without background music. Thanks for a great channel!
Quite a steady hand, how did you know where all those parts go amazes me. Thank you and I'm not a watch repair man either.
The best of all your amazing repair videos on you channel ever, Mark. Really. You're the Best of all here.
What complexity! If I go into the pool I'll be at the watch repairman's ASAP and not counting on it self drying. :)
“The Time Surgeon” ... Thank you sir.
You are a true Artisan, amazing work. And very meditative to watch.
calm and steady
you have a talent sir
The way the watch suddenly sprung to life mid-disassembly.
"I LIIIIIIIIIIIIIIVE!"
Excellent video! For Rust removal I soak in Bar Keepers friend cleanser. It has Oxalic acid.. It has a very fine grain and does not scratch polished surfaces...
God i stumbled here by accident and just couldnt stop watching amazing work
Beautiful this is such a beautiful piece I love your work and the videos that you release I hope one day soon I can start trying to make stuff of my own
You make that look so easy. You are very smooth and deliberate with your mechanical skills, a sign of experience :)
A fantastic bit of technical excellence indeed :) Well done!
This is great. I own a Sinn 203, which is powered by this mechanism, so I loved watching this. Thank you.
Tank you for making this. It is good that you have not put this to music.
I'm not sure if I breathed for a whole 40 minutes...excellent work
very very nice . i really love your vídeos . i am trying to learn something and with this tutorial vídeos it is a pleasure of seeing things being new again. thank you
I'm not sure why, but I keep holding my breath every time you reach in for another part during the disassembly!
Great work! The great Watchman inspired by a greater Watch Man
Great video! Nice skills to have. I don't believe the owner was unlucky. He was careless.
Fabulous, very interesting. Thanks for going the extra mile and recording it all.
Why does this have 655 dislikes? Absolutely fantastic work!
