- Another Rolex! That's right, Marshall takes a flyer on a Rolex Speedking from the 1950's on eBay and sees if he can get it back to its former glory! The watch cost $1,600 even in this state, so there's a lot on the line with this one. Enjoy!

I think the reason I keep coming back to your channel is that I can hear the love and excitement for the hobby you have! Makes the atmosphere amazing.
I might actually take up this hobby if i ever find any tools or watches. we watch while he fixes the watch, watch this watch watches pocket watches the watch in his pocket, watch
That's why I don't miss any he uploads. I have watched every one of them, and some twice. I collect watches and would send some to him to service but I don't know if he does that sort of thing. I would pay of course.
Same here. He reminds me very much of Chef John!
100%, Also He is such a humble guy.. great channel ineed.
His voice reminds me of the guy who narrates books on audible and I find it so soothing.
I'm not even interested in watch restoration, but I watched the whole video. Great work all around -- camera, narration, and skill level. UA-cam needs more people like you.
Same. This video came recommend. I just started watching vehicles being washed/detailed which is so soothing and fund to watch. Now this. 😊
This is my forth video of his and I am in the same boat.
Maybe we are interested in watch restoration!!
Me too! I have no clue what any of the pieces do but he makes it so entraining that i don’t want to stop watching. You can tell that this is his passion
Same here !

Your videos have now replaced - or nearly so - my NF binging and it's caused me to dig out old watches that I've inherited from family over the years - including my great-grandfather's 14K White Gold Filled Waltham Colonial 17 Jewel No 1235. It's non-running and has been tucked away for over 60 years! After watching your videos, I'm inspired to think that it can be revived! Just love watching your videos.
Received a notification on UA-cam that stated "Send me a text" and had a number. Was that you ( Marshall) or is it someone else?
@@mizpelot6684 likely to be spam unless proven otherwise. I'd ignore it for now
Did you get that watch working??
@@MethodOverRide Have not. Just haven't had time but intend to in future.
I stumbled across this video toady. I was mesmerized. Simply amazing skill. And I enjoyed how you transmit true joy in a hobby that you love.
So impressive, bravo.
Thank you 😀👍
I can tell you’re a fellow automotive technician. Very professional for an “amateur”. You’re too humble bro. I’m learning so much from you. Great work! Flat rate, baby 😎
Hey has a TON of experience in voice work and narration. Very successful Magic: The Gathering podcast and is a professional commentator for tournaments. I think it is what makes him so easy to listen to and enjoy , even if you are a not a watch enthusiast.
@@marsh3825 OMG, I had no idea this was Marshall Sutcliffe's watch channel. I've always wondered about the playmat, and knew his name is Marshall, but didn't put the two together. I'm not a limited player so I don't listen to LR, so it's not a voice I'd recognize.
Honestly, I mostly know him from his appearances with Loading Ready Run, and those shoots aren't close mic'd like this.
Appreciate it :)
I'm also learning a ton. I inherited all my grandfather's and Father's watch and clock making tools and these videos have helped me identify the tools I have and what they are for. The coolest part is I have the exact same spin cleaning machine as the one seen in these videos. I've never seen another one like it, anywhere, until I found this channel.
This guy is modestly and intelligently skilful. He could narrate a surgical procedure with ease . And he’s dog owner 😇👌🏻
For a clumsy person with no intention of taking on such a hobby, I am still fascinated. Enthralled, even. Fantastic work!
Speedking is such a cool name for a vintage watch
Marshall, you blew me away with this video! I was impressed how you took the watch completely apart AND got it back together again so effortlessly. I watched the video from beginning to end totally rapt how you went about restoring this watch. Even the photography was amazing and the audience could follow along as if we were looking over your shoulder. Thanks for sharing the world of watch restoration with us. I found your channel by happenstance and I am now a new subscriber.
Best wristwatch restoration channel on UA-cam, hands down. One of my favorites altogether. So excited to see a new video from you!
@Jeremy Thiessen Haha, didn't even noticed I did that.
Totally agree
So, you inspired me enough to lay out some cash and get into the hobby. I had NO idea what I was getting into! Watching your videos, I knew I'd be working with small parts but it's difficult to truly explain just how small these parts really are! Bottom line is, I came into this from fishing reel restoration and the size difference between reels and watches is like going from a watermelon to a raisin. But, at the end of the day, I truly love this hobby and understand your fascination! Thank you kind sir!
Your narrative and parts description exists where other watch restoration shows fail and that's what makes me a fan... I now know names that I never knew existed within watches... thanx4sharing.
This was absoloutly fantastic...I don't know where the almost 1 hour went but you have a new sub here. REALLY great work, thanks for this great content.
Marshall, I started watching your videos a couple years ago during an illness simply because they started playing using UA-cam auto play. Those videos caused a memory from my childhood in the 1970's of being given a couple of my deceased grandfather's watches. Over the past couple years I have watched your videos and the urge to repair those old watches has grown to the point that the other day I dug them out of the drawer they are stored in. They are both old Elgin watches, one is an auto with day and date while the other is a simple wind up gold dress watch. Both watches are missing most of the crowns, apparently Elgin used cheaper materials for the crown and the only portion left is the small brass bit that screws to the stem. Anyway, I have ordered some new parts for the watch with the auto movement, a Swiss Felsa 4009 movement as it turns out, and with the help ofyour videos I will begin to attempt to repair it when the parts arrive. Thanks for videos and your positive, upbeat presentation style.
As someone who may be going into this field. I seriously consider your videos as studying. Similar to Marks watch repair classes. Before taking his classes your videos taught me everything I knew. Especially since you repair more complex and “weirder” watches. I use the hard worked for information you obtain through trial and error, and put into your videos when practicing. Your videos are awesome man. For real. Keep it up
Another watch guy i first started watching these vids on youtube is NekkidWatchmaker.
certainly liked this one what a beautiful watch after it was restored.
You're amazing. As a watch enthusiast, I freaking love you for sharing this with us! You also explain things so well and simple. Subbed!
I love your enthusiasm, it is infectious. I’ve never considered tackling anything like this until watching one of your omega revival videos. Thank you for bringing these watches back to life in the way you do.
I know nothing about watches but I was honestly mesmerized by the process and the your ability to narrate it. Phenomenal! YOU are a very talented individual that has provoked a major new interest for me.
I have to say that my favorite part of these videos is your voice over. The emotion you put into stressed and exasperated moments flows so well in a 48 minute snip of work that takes hours over many days or weeks.
My favourite moment was at 16:49 when I noticed the very cute and amiable pupper sticking her nose in between Marshal trying to sniff out what he was doing. Top tier moment. 10/10 would like to see the pupper again.
Great video Marshall. You have helped me get into the watch repair/restoration. It's so satisfying to see that balance wheel turning.
Can't wait to see the next video.
I really love this watch. As a diver, one of my dreams is to own one of the older Rolex dive watches for everyday wear. Sadly they are crazy collectible now, so that will not happen. But getting to see you bring back these gems to life is also immensely rewarding.
Yeah the old Submariners are insane now
I wouldn’t dive with an old watch tho

Since finding your channel, I've been catching up on all your videos. I'm thoroughly enjoying your infectious enthusiasm, clear calm voiceover, humour and down-to-earth presentation style - its a real tonic. The information you share at every stage in the process is just what's needed for a 'newbie' like myself and others. You've been through the learning process yourself, understand it and share it from that perspective. You've helped me tremendously, given confidence and all I can say is 'keep em coming' please.

I can't get enough of these videos, I've been binging for six hours straight. I've never given a shit about watches before, but watching them being taken apart and put back together in working order is absolutely fascinating. I could identify over half the parts inside of a watch now.
You make it all look so easy and straightforward, but having done some modest work on older watches I appreciate just how delicate this work is.
That was amazing! I love these restoration videos, so clever! I would have liked to see how the lume worked when finished though, but still looked at amazing at the end 👍🙌
I can watch these restorations all day.
I have deep affection for these older pieces, and would wear this with pride. They have a special charm. You sir do have serious passion for two hobbies it seems. UA-camr and watchmaker. Lots of work, and nicely done work on the video as well. First time here, and enjoyed it.
LOVE the running commentry. Explaining as you go....
My first time seeing anything like this restoration, I was totally amazed at your knowledge and patience to work with such miniature components and overall engineering of these fine timepieces. truly amazing...Thank's for sharing
It's amazing to think people have been working on Wrist watches and Pocket watches at this scale for over 100 years too, absolutely jaw dropping engineering and skill must have been required in the pre-computer pre-video-camera age to design and manage all these small parts.
Here's hoping this trade never disappears because it's still far too cool, even in the modern digital age
I do love those old 34mm Rolex. This was a great looking restoration.
I will never watch videos over 8 minutes but once this one got going with your amazing camera work, narration and precise watch repair skills I could not stop watching. Absolutely incredible, incredible work! Thank you for the video.
Thank you for the most wonderful 50 minutes spent with you. Beautiful, careful and precise work. A joy to watch!
I don't even wear a watch and I watched your whole video. Excellent content! I was a little disappointed that we didn't find out how much you paid vs what it's worth after your restoration. But I can tell you're into it for the passion and not the money.
$1600. It's in the description to the video. Cheers!
Bravo, I love watching you at work,and bringing the life back to that gorgeous Rolex
Need to give gifts to family and friends, you can follow me, more high imitation luxury goods
It’s a work of art. Amazing how you can disassemble and put them back together with all this tiny parts what a talent.
I just started watching watch repair and some other don’t narrate with as much information as you do. I love learning and you do a wonderful job of explaining your passionate hobby. Thank you so much.
Congratulations on another wonderful video: it is always a pleasure to watch and listen to you bringing a watch back to life. That you had to pay $1'600 for a non-runner without any complications on eBay surprised me, even though it is a Rolex. You took a big risk there and got lucky, which you thoroughly deserve. Also, I very much agree with your approach to vintage items: do what you have to do, but do not overdo it.
P.S. In the 70s and 80s only pimps, dealers and mafiosos would wear Rolex watches: the fatter, the more gold and the more diamonds the better. For some people - like me - this is a most vivid memory, which is why I could never wear one.
I just found this channel and I love it even though I'm not a watch guy. I was shocked when I heard his voice and was like "That's Marshall!" When I first got into MTG 7 or 8 years ago, I loved watching the coverage of the pro tours; the drama, the skill, the stakes were so fantastic. Marshall was a fantastic commentator, great play-by-play guy for a newb like me watching the world's most complicated game. I miss it. His voice and his ability explain complex things for a newcomer are still great, even when repairing an old watch. Marshall, you're great at what you do.
No wonder he has MTG Mat. I played during revised edition till 4th.
What is MGT ? If I may ask
Marshal, you never cease to amaze.
You’re very skilled and a pleasure to listen to as you take us thru a complete restoration.
Considering how many restoration channels think that they need to make items, some being 100+ years old, look like they are brand new, it is really refreshing to see someone who breathes new life into something without trying to make it new.
There's a pretty cool story behind Rolex's popularity: as you might guess, during WWII, the watch business was not doing all that great, as the watch companies were cut off from their best clients (the Brits and the Americans). That is, until they discovered they had a bunch of Brits and Americans on their doorstep in the form of Allied airmen who had either managed to make their way to Switzerland after being shot down or had been locked in POW camps. Rolex quickly made a reputation to itself among the latter because of the deal they were offering: they literally said, *you must not even think of settlement during the war*, clearly indicating that they're expecting to get paid because they expect the Allies to win the war. Naturally, this was good for both the morale of the POWs and Rolex's business.
This channel has fully inspired me to give this a go. I've loved watching the videos and the explanation of everything and how it works. I'm fully aware you've made it look easier than it is but definitely up for giving this a try.
Taken your advice and brought a decent quality old picket watch to start off and some basic tools and I'll document my progress for when I inevitably get stuck or lost.
Hopefully this can be a great new hobby and I don't utterly balls it up lol
How the restoration of the pocket watch worked out?
@@aglioolio3180 he’s moved on to Japanese bonsai…
This gentleman is the best, he has a gift. Watching him repair the watches is educational... I my self can't even change a battery...thank you.
Greatly appreciate your enthusiasm and excitement as your go about your watch restoration. Closest I get is when I get a watch back from a repair man and see it cleaned up and running again. Wish there were more watchmen, it has been come a lost trade and hobby.
Keep up the great videos and look forward to your next one.
Please do a series like 'tips and tricks' or things to know for those wanting to get into this hobby.
They are pretty beefy built time pieces. Some of those components look to be much better made than some others I've seen on here. Though I suppose that makes sense due to the brand.
Love your work mate, love watching these and hearing your thoughts.
Bringing that beating heart back to life! Wonderful story for this vintage watch. I'll be back for more! Thanks!
Amazing work! I even have troubles getting a screw into a wall 😊 So relaxing to watch.
We just watched the MCU film "Doctor Strange" last night, and I thought of you when his super expensive watch was smashed. I thought "that really just needs a new crystal and some servicing, and I'm sure it'd be fine again." :D
😆
When you use any kind of tap, even to clean threads, you should thread it in a full turn, and back a half turn repeatedly to make progress. Should also probably use some kind of lubricant. I'm not a watch maker or anything, but that rolex thread refresher thing looks like a tap.
Agree but I would say a half turn forward and a quarter backward.
I did
So pretty much after every movement forward you go 50% backwards?
That advice comes from the good old days, as in pre-WWII. Modern taps invariably have chip breakers and gully channels to clear the swarf so the old way is becoming less and less relevant, and you will notice that powered taps do not do it at all. Finally, the tap Marshall is using is a thread cleaner, not a thread cutter; if it came out of a classic set of 3, it would be #3.
@@DutchClawz 2 steps forward 1 step back
I find all of your work amazing. You have an enormous amount of skill…both in watch repair and video tutorial production. Excellent content. Thank you.
An absolute joy to watch you at work and listen to your brilliant commentary. Great to see that watchmaking adheres to the standard engineering practice whereby the bit you drop falls into the least easily accessible place. Really great viewing.
Love this channel! It`s great to see someone so dedicated to preserving history!
The Speedking looks fantastically classic and refined in style (ie without wear and tear) - also in relation to my simple steel 1985 Datejust which I bought new. Less "bling" such as the absence of the contemporary Datejust case and the Jubelee bracelet helps. I do not think that these have aged well stylistically. Otherwise, my 1985 Datejust still works perfectly even after 37 years of continuous use. The watch has been extensively cleaned twice and has had both the glass and the bracelet replaced twice. Keep up the good work :)

These classic time pieces are such a mastery of clean design. Our design class teacher had several drawings with the drawn plans of these watches to exemplify aesthetic excellence.
This is amazing, i love the explanation and the camera work, especially the close up shots. Must take a lot of time to make these videos. You have the most clear restoration videos i have seen on youtube. You are not an amateur, you are a proffesional my friend
Perfect timing (pun intended) I was just thinking today I hadn't seen a new video from you in a while. Quick question, do you sell any of the watches you restore? If so, where can I buy one? love the content Marshall!
He’s mentioned in other video(s) that if he’s gonna put up a watch for sale, it’ll be on his instagram. Hope that helps!
I sometimes sell them via Instagram
How can we find out about your watches for sale if we don't have Instagram? I've tried to open an account for two months to no avail. I live overseas, that may be the problem, but can't get IG to work.
@@WristwatchRevival aah come on… Ebay. I don’t use Instagram…
@@WristwatchRevival Same here Marshall, I would like to be able to see some of your watches that are for sale but I too do not have Instagram. Keep up the great videos!
Marshall, I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE when you restore cases. It’s personally my favourite part of repairing a watch, and I’d love to see you do more!
I do too. I despise "patina," especially in vehicles. But I guess we're the only 2 people who care. Sad, really
The intricacy of these watches is amazing. How do they even make these TINY parts !?
Another success. Thanks for being so informative, conversational, and enthused by what you're doing. It has been fun watching you test your skill set with different problems and solutions. I really like their tool watches and these vintage models are as you say, great examples. I would imagine the trouble would be finding specimens that don't have TOO much wrong with them, but aren't several thousand dollars either.
Always nice to see your videos, Marshall. Looking good... You been working out?
Most definitely not lol
Thank you for your videos. I wasn't really into watches a month ago, but now totally love them. I have acquired a 1903 Waltham pocket watch and I am now looking into some acquiring some tools. Your enthusiasm is contagious. Keep up the great work!
That's awesome, good luck with it!
Well done. I love seeing old Rolex watches come back to life. I own a 1991 Rolex datejust. It never had to be repaired it just runs and runs and runs.
Such a pleasure to watch you at work. You have steady hands and a load of patience. Something to learn.....
I don’t know what prompted me to “watch” this video, but I viewed the whole thing. Very impressed with your work. I think I’ll try to restore my clock on the wall. It runs, but the hands are loose and it seems to be running fast. I also have an old cheap watch that I think I’ll take apart to see if the components are the same as the Rolex type. I just hope my eyes are good enough to see those molecular size parts with my eyeglasses and magnifying glass. Thanks for the video.
Thanks Marshall....you do alot!! I enjoyed every minute of this rebuild!!🇺🇸🎩🇺🇸
I sat transfixed just looking at the master rebuilding this time piece. I have such a watch that I inherited from my Father in Law so this was personal to me. Thank you master for a brilliant video
Fantastically entertaining, instructive and relaxing. First video of yours that I watch, but certainly not the last. Thank you!!
Okay Marshall. What happens to this watch after you fix it up? Does it go into your personal collection to admire periodically as you gaze rapturously on your treasures? Or, do they get sold at a profit because now they ARE working? or ???
I have a bunch of them but really need to sell them so I can fund new projects
@@WristwatchRevival I would love to own a piece that you've brought back to life (A cheaper one, poor student here!) Especially if it would help with the next project. That said, I could totally understand the urge to keep them, look at them, and wear them! :-)

*Why not show the hour like for example **12:30**...just to see if they are in perfect place...*
Because of watching your channel I have bought my own tools and began fixing my own watches and my wife's. It is just replacing batteries, but I enjoy working on them while watching your videos.
I have also purchased my first mechanical watch! A seiko 5 automatic with the 4R36S. I have already changed the band using my newly acquired skills.
Next up is hopefully repairing my late grandfathers watch. It is a Jules Jurgensen from the 70s. The movement is quartz and unfortunately the battery leaked in it when it was passed down to me without me knowing. So my goal with all of this is to restore it so I can wear it. He wore it daily for decades and even though its not a very expensive watch, I want to honor and remember him by wearing it as well. I know all my uncles and especially my Dad will get a kick out of seeing it working again.
Watching this was just pure entertainment snd enjoyment and I’m not even into watches or watch restorations. Beautiful! Good job.
It is so cool to see this channel getting as much interest as it has. I love it! I've been both a watch lover, and a TCG player (which is how I first knew of you Marshall! Loved the old Marshlog Blogcliffe and LR). I've never attempted to do any work on any of my watches, but your videos have given me a better appreciation and understanding of how they work.
Hey thanks for following me all along the way, glad to have you on board!
Thanks to you I've now ordered a job lot of broken watch movements to start practicing a new hobby on - hopefully it'll prove a little less costly, and less oily than fixing up cars. All the effort you put into these videos is most appreciated!
Thanks for that. You have gotten me interested in trying this as a new hobby. I am a retired mechanic, and I think I will love working on these small delicate mechanisms.
You have the same voice as Rob Riggle. And it keeps me coming back every time! Sometimes I pretend it’s Rob himself telling me how he fixes these watches.
That's awesome man! So satisfying to watch you restore something back to its glory again. Nice one 🙌
First time I've watched one of yours and your commentary is so clear and explains things so well. Well done you!
Your enthusiasm is contagious. Very nicely done.
I listen to you fix up these watches while trying to fall asleep at the ambulance station. The attention to detail and explanation really helps clear the busy mind
Watch restoration is the most satisfying hobby i have come across, You have a great talent for this and i hope you channel grows to what i believe is what you deserve
Found your page by accident. Brings back so many wonderful memories of my dads jewelry store and watching him do repairs which included Rolex watches. I now subscribe to your page.
Thank you for sharing this timeless classic and beautiful watch
I know nothing about watch repair or restoration, but I find your videos completely fascinating, satisfying and soothing! My dad left me an Oyter Perpetual, and I love wearing it from time to time!!
Every once and a while, you run across a real jewel on UA-cam such as this video! Thanks......
i love your work , i have seen a lot of people who say they know about watches , you are the only one who knows the right way to repair them keep making your vids
What a lovely watch! As the owner (during high school and college) of a Timex Marlin (the early 80s version, bought new at Woolworths), this is the first Rolex I've seen that actually scratched the same itch, although much refined. Now I am going to have to find one of my own. Thank you for your wonderful channel. You do such a good job of explaining what you're doing over some stellar cinematography.
Mesmerizingly addictive - calm and skill in a time of pandemic. I never knew I would find this so compelling.
48 minutes of total awesomeness! Thankfully, you're just a part-time hobbyist. This blew my mind.
Impressive how well Rolex watches are made, nice work bringing it back to life.
I came across this channel via UA-cams autoplay, and have really enjoyed the videos. I find the videos are perfect to while doing other things on the computer, and the excitement in Marshall's voice let me know when something is really important to pay attention. I have learned a lot about mechanical watches and I'm now considering getting one.
Another fascinating and thoroughly enjoyable video. Marshall, your narration is just so perfect and your enthusiasm shines through. You have me hooked. Thanks so much. Have you ever thought about doing a live Q&A session one evening? I'd definately would join you for that.
Hey Marshall. I'm a hand engraver who like you ,Am not a professional but do it as a hobby. I started about 5 years ago when my Wife passed away from cancer and I needed something to keep myself occupied.I'm 61 yrs old now and was forced into early retirement about 3 years before my wife passed because of a really bad Motorcycle accident I was in. It pretty much crippled me. Luckily I still have full use of my hands and can walk as little bit as long as I have things to hold on to. I found hand engraving on UA-cam and fell in love with it. I mostly do knives & watches. I'm working on a watch now for my son in laws Birthday I started tinkering with the idea of working on watches since I have a lot of equipment and know a bit about assembly, removing & replacing crystals etc in preparation to engrave them.I just never really feel for it the way I did engraving. I purchased a Rolex Oyster date. An older one that runs sporadically.Got it for what I thought was a good price. I was watching your video here( I love watching them to relax ) and a thought came to mind. I realize a lot of watchmakers don't like Engraving watches feeling they ruin them. To me it's a personal opinion. Especially if you plan on keeping the watch . Some do like it. I was wondering if you might have any interest in a barter. I ship you my Rolex and you do your thing and you ship me a watch you would like engraved and I hook you up in return. Obviously the details would need to be worked out thru emails and probably a few video chats or phone calls etc. If your not interested that's perfectly fine. I completely understand.would you still be interested in trying to fix my watch for pay. Like I said it runs on & off .I get looked at the movement under my microscope and got a feeling other than possibly a part of 2 being worn out it probably just really dirty. Let me know what you think . My Email address is: EDGRABOW15@GMAIL.COM. Keep up the great videos.
The amount of a passion built in is what makes viewer delighted!
That was so nice. I really enjoy watching you work on that old Rolex.
Awesome video dude. I am not a watch guy or an enthusiast, but I immensely respect your video editing skills and knowledge on the moving pieces/parts in the watch. Outstanding work my friend! 👍
Outstanding work, thoroughly enjoyed it!
installing the main spring is the pinnacle of each video for me. Thanks for the awesome videos and passion for your hobby.
Love this video. My grandfather used to do this as a retirement hobby in the 1950s and 1960s. I regret not ever seeing him work after seeing this.
More people should appreciate your kind of approach. Fantastic
Love "watch"ing this channel!!! Something very satisfying about taking apart and putting back together such intricate machines. I know you enjoy servicing wristwatches, but have you considered servicing larger clocks ie cuckoo clocks or grandfather clocks? Would love to see a full service on one of these. Most other channels dedicated to larger clocks seem to only repair the cases. Only an idea...keep up the great content!!
