This is a good video, could you investigate what causes Tudor GMT with the date issue? This is a well known issue for the watch...
@@carzakone333 it just old design and never bothe update with today tech and fixed...
@carzakone333 totally agree and was just searching for your exact comment (Y)
I recommend this channel to anyone that’ll listen. It’s such a treat to watch perfection
Thats really good to hear Anthony Įødīçę, thank you so much. And thanks for watching.
Yes 😍
When I see someone take the time and effort to do something right, it gives me some hope for a better future. No matter your job, do it right and take pride in doing so.
Its great to see such skill, in this day and age of the throw away culture, great vid and very relaxing to watch you work.
simon tompkins you're absolutely right. I recall back in the 80s at least most watch retailers would have a watchmaker on site. The advantages of this was that you could walk in explain for example your watch needed regulation or examination to see if it was magnetized. The watchmaker could observe you how you wore your watch ask how you put it down at night and regulate it there and then. Nowadays with most retailers you have to have it sent away for weeks with no guarantee it will perform better when it returns. And they call this progress.
Fascinating. I'm working towards attempting my first watch service ever and I can tell you it won't be a Rolex lol I bought a vintage citizen from ebay to play with and if that goes ok then I have a Seiko to try too. This will only ever be a hobby for me but I may end up enrolling with you if I get stuck. My mum has always called me "Miss fix it" as I love fixing broken things and figuring out how things work. Thanks for the great content, I have binge watched most of your videos and find them very informative but also extremely relaxing. Looking forward to your next offering, take care and stay safe.👍🙂⌚
How’s your watchmaking journey going? You should begin working on Elgin, ETA, or Juvenia movements. Citizen are too hard to start off with, and many come with a bunch of plastic parts. You won’t get a good feel for future watches with citizens or Seikos. Basically anything Japanese/Chinese. The 3 movement manf I listed are not only widely available, but are also cheap with many parts available. To add to that, you will see that these movement manf I listed will provide a strong base for you to do future watches. The way citizen is assembled, you will more than likely get a feel for citizen watches and not Swiss ones which will be your bread and butter. If you’re still well on your journey, hit me up, I can help out.
Wish every watchmaker is like you.
I love how thorough you are with the testing and repairs. I've never fixed a mechanical watch, but I'm the kind of person who'll fix something to working order, notice it's not 100% perfect, try to correct the problem, then ruin it beyond repair in the process.
I loved the visual aid you had to show the spring in action, if this is what I can expect of your classes, I'll sign up soon.
Awesome, thank you!
Fantastic illustration. Even though it's a simple problem from an engineering perspective, you illustrated it much better than any professor here would do.
A good watch repairer is in fact a GOOD DOCTOR of faulty watches
When you were cleaning the dial with bluetac can’t speel rodico? I was screaming at you to remove the hair. Then realised it was ON MY screen
Thank for the detailed explanation 👍🏻
Yet again I admire your patience and skill. I hate doing a job more than once and to have to strip a watch shortly after fixing it, even partially, to fix something else would drive me nuts.
It’s such a treat watching you work! Your trouble shooting skills are impressive. I look forward to your new content every single time.
So fascinating and relaxing. It looks so easy (as far as it is "only" a mechanic device), but it's not... Really great skills !
Great video! I have a Rolex GMT made in 78 which I’ve owned since new. I wish the crown were larger and that it had the quick-set feature- other than that it is a great watch. It probably needs servicing but it keeps reasonably accurate time. Keep up the great work and thanks for the education.
Great video, very interesting, the animation and before and after were really helpful in understanding the problem. I also really liked seeing how the water test device worked. Thanks again
Your videos are so informative, I love it. Is there by any chance a video planned for a tour of your workshop and the tools you're using? I'd love to see that!
Mark is a true influencer. I didnt his course, watch his videos and I can work on basic swiss movements gradually building up my skills and workshop
Good Job catching the Issue. I don´t think many Watch Repairers would have noticed it.
The last part of water test was amazing I never saw and heard a good review how it works like you did. Many thanks for that
That water resistance tester was such a nice simple but very intelligently designed device! Might have to build one just for the sake of it!
What a coincidence, I actually needed this knowledge for a project just days ago.
I am so thankful!
Nice to see that some fixes can also be rather straightforward.
Simply amazing work! The attention to detail and thoroughness of the post cleaning and testing essentially made the Rolex even better than before. I was just surprised that a spring like that can actually fail.
Not uncommon for springs to fatigue - this is a watch manufactured in the '80s and the spring goes under tension every day.
@@WatchRepairChannel Thank you for sharing all your art with all of us. I always learn something new with each episode. I'm just impressed with your level of discipline on handling the movements as well as when conducting a complete overhaul.
It's nice to watch someone who takes pride in their work!
Thanks Robert Calk Jr. - Appreciate the comment
Looking forward to the water resistance test. Thanks to whomever suggested it!
One of the things that has always been in the back of my mind watching watch repair videos is: Do you need to take special steps to insure the environment is dust free? Does air movment have to be limited and are watches even particularly sensitive to a little dust here and there when their case backs are open or you are working on them?
Always amazing job.. if u go to Indonesia I will show u the heaven of vintage watches
Its that kind of attention to detail thats becoming harder and harder to find, great job !!!
Watching these videos kind of makes me sad - my Dad had a Rolex he bought in the 60's, got it serviced a few times but it started keeping bad time. He ended up going to sell it, only to find out that at some point, someone had replaced the original movement with bits of other Rolex watches, making it more or less worthless. Sad times. Still, I also find these videos very informative! I think I'll pay for the online course at some point, try and learn some more.
Nowadays for repairs you can no longer trust people, especially on expensive watches, if is better to do it yourself after proper training and practice, which is not tough to obtain nowadays. I got a watch repaired thrice from company authorized service centers of Titan (an Indian watch brand), still it wouldn't keep accurate time, it would slow down by a few hours every week, I opened it myself, and found that watch movement was very dirty, it was never serviced by them properly! Opened it, cleaned gears and everything in isopropyl alcohol, then fixed it back, along with properly lubing jewels and various other places. Now it runs like new with only a second or two slower per day, which is acceptable for me as it is 15 years old quartz watch. I wanna keep it because of sentiments.
Crazy fascinating repair ! Spring fatigue, so I assume the watch is very very old and have been used a lot. I have the same calendar problem on my oyster 34 steel, and I was thinking it was the way it should work... But you have clearly demonstrated that it is not the case ! Thanks for such wonderful sharing !
An artist 👩🎨 admire your work 👌🏼
Pure perfection is the work of this master.
fantastic video, as always congratulations, because you learn a lot from your videos ... thanks for making them.....we see you from Spain
Great video, great voice and great explanations. Also, really terrific graphic explaining the date change cam mechanism. Well done, helping keep us sane in lockdown.
Outstanding ...! what more can one say....when I look at my GMT in future whole new prospective . Love the channel. Take care sir !
Thank you so much for the detailed video on the problem as well as explanation on rectifying it.
Never knew how pressure tests were performed on a watch. very interesting to see.. thanks!
Your skills and attention are remarkable Sir...an enjoyable video...thank you...
I’m an electrician and can turn my hand to most things mechanical but I’m afraid watch repair is not one of them and so, I admire you for that. I have done minor watch repairs but everything is so small that I find it just hard work. I spend a lot of time looking for lost screws, which have flicked off the end of the tweezers. I could do with the largest magnifying glass in the world but the expense would be horrendous. I enjoy watching you work and your craftsmanship...
We learn something new every day. Thanks for this & Stay Safe
probably my favourite Rolex model of all time. style, function, size, look. It doesn't get much better
Excellent video Mark. Thanks for sharing. Ahhhh I wondered how the waterproof test didn’t let water in the case, I’ve learned something there.

I admire Mark's skill and his video illustrates that Rolexs can still be repaired and serviced without the £80,000 plus equipment required by Rolex to become a Rolex accredited watchmaker to gain access to parts.
I admire the dedication to detail.
Always amazing to watch you work. Could you down the road explain to us what features in the movement justify the high cost of a Rolex? I don't care about the status, just the mechanics, metals, and machining parts.
You are a master. My faves, the blue and red ones. What price tag does a watch in perfect condition like this usually justify? Thanks.
Bet you that replacement spring costs more than any of my watches, probably combined. Thank you for a great video.
Wonderful to watch, very therapeutic!
I enjoy watching your videos you’re very talented and professional
HI ,great video as always, can you tell after servicing the movement is it more accurate now? how many seconds - or + before and after? thanks
Thank you for the explanation and video! A true genius at your craft!
Bravissimo come sempre, video ed inquadrature super, sei un maestro. 😃
I'm so glad you did this video because I've been longing to see the way Rolex does the instant date change in detail. Thanks!
Всегда очень познавательно смотреть ваши видеоуроки.
great revisit, especially loved the animation, just really enjoy your videos, so informative and educational content, many thanks...
This explains much! My 1665 MKI has the same problem. Care to service/fix it?
Really enjoy your videos and explanations- thanks
Fantastic explanation and proof of fix video....love your contents
Dear Sir, thanks for the lovely video. I am an owner of rolex 126711 chnr and the date changes at 12.05am, is this abnormal and also if i run the hands manually I notice that date changes exactly at 12am. Please tell me what I should do
Very good job and nice video. I love this watch very much ❤
Thanks for explaining the leak test.
I recently watched another channel and the same spring broke in the Rolex he was repairing. Is this a problem with all Rolexs?
Great channel , fascinating watching you work 👍🙂
awesome love your attention to detail
That’s is awesome QA. That’s hard to find these days. You are a credit to your profession. I need my Sub Mariner serviced. I would trust you with my only piece of jewelry. Interested? It would make a good video too.
Thank you Drew McNicol
Hey, Mark, I miss you ! Too few videos on your channel and it has been over a year since the last one.
I have a Vostok Europe automatic that I really loved - when I got it !!! Problems arose and would love for you to fix it - or at least information as to where I could get quality work done in the US
looks like this a common fualt with, I've seen this spring in a bad shape a couple of times
Nice job, Mark. Interesting video!
Thanks for this outstanding tutorial!
Ur choice of bgm is awesome 😊
Thank you Jai ShriRam, really kind of you to say
デートカムの構造解説と、ドライブスプリングの交換、すごい技術です
Another common issue are people
using the wrong tool (a screwdriver) to remove the calendar driving wheel screw, and thus reducing the endshake and causing the wheel to drag

The only watch I've ever had lust for. Someday I'll get it. Aloha
Beautiful work! However, the hour hand goes closest to the dial not the GMT hand
You did a Great Job, Thanks for Sharing, Cheers.
Love watching your videos but I’ve never seen you remove /replace a Rolex bezel and spring
Wondered if there was any reason for this
Keep up the great work
Micro engineering, ...truly amazing! 🙂👍
Is it just me or has the bezel-insert on this particular watch aged extremely well..? The faded blue looks especially pretty and interesting ....
Totally agree looks beautiful.
Now that’s a watch channel
Love the matte dials on these old vintage Rolexes, could never understand why they went over to glossy dials.
For the shine, the bling, the pop :p
Lovely watch. Do you think that spring issue is a result of fatigue over time, or a material defect?
Incredible videos, thanks so much.
Great Video as always, can I please ask where you are located, I would pay you to repair an Omega Seamaster 1960s which I inherited from my father, it keeps stopping and the back does not come off it seems seperate at the centre, I dont even know if its hand wind or auto, assuming hand wind as I cannot hear a rotor, its in beautiful condition
One day, all the watches in this world will be touched or fixed by this guy.
Thank you, sir. I ask for a simple request. I am a beginner, so I want to advise on how to set the time and the hour working without stopping. In other words, the power gear is in contact with the gear of the watch. I want to imagine how it is set. Adjustment movement
Do you usually test waterproofing with the movement back inside?
I bought some Rodico after seeing your videos. I didnt know of its existence. Since its a maleable putty, does it leave any residue behind?
Amazing work and very educational!!
Thank you! Cheers!
Very interesting video!!
With the water resistance test, Is the resistance now to the same spec as original?
I wish Rolex did a heritage line. I much prefer the old case to the maxi and a cross with the modern movement and the slim case would be great I love GMT's and collect them.
Great fix,and trouble shooting
Beautiful work as always. I look at these rolex watches and just think "ghastly piece of tackiness".
Nice to see a "classic" Rolex running like......well, *_a Rolex!_*
I have a 1968 GMT one, that my father had put a black ceramic bezel on. How do I reliably find a Pepsi bezel that can be put on this watch. Although I might not put it on the watch I at least would like one available for the watch. I'm also interested in perhaps a ceramic version because the original version were horrible at maintaining their color.
That was a very informative video, thanks for the upload😃😃
always wondered why the minute hand is on TOP of the hour hand? shouldnt it be the other way around?
