I love watching this type of videos,they are relaxing. This is why I love mechanical watches and watches in general. The mechanical movement and parts are like a living being that can tell the time.
Fascinating! I miss working with a watches. Never got to professional level(like my dad), but learned enough to “hobbying” around with old watches, pocket watches and some clocks. Watching you working flawlessly, one might get a wrong idea, that its not super hard, just take a bunch of pictures, to remember where what goes- its far from the truth, even the simple looking tasks, takes enormous amount of practice, patience and (occasionally) crawling on all four, looking for a tiny part. So those who tasted even a simple horological experience, can truly appreciate how professional you are. Thank you for a great video.
I used to study watchmaking and that allows me to respect the amount of work you put in and attention to detail you have. I haven't seen any youtubers/watchmakers going to the extent you do. Keep up the good work.
They both are really good with their full restorations, case polishing and re-plating, but the Nekkid Watchmaker is next level I think. He has fabricated oddly shaped crystals by hand, and other stuff like screws and other parts.
How complicated are rolex watches, but with a professional dismantling them, paying attention to the smallest details, repairing and maintaining them, they will remain for future generations with your presence. Thank you, you are talented man
Not particularly more than others, in fact they are less than others in the same category as Omega, Zenith or GS. This is a great job, but I mean that Rolex movements aren't particularly complicated.
@@RedDeadRestoration I don't have words for the level of respect I have for your work in this video. Restoring parts that would ordinarily just be replaced is just breathtaking
This is the most meticulous display of fine craftsmanship that I’ve ever watched. Sorry no pun intended. Seriously. Thank you for sharing. If I ever needed a fine watch restored, I would look you up.
Amazing attention to detail. Time machine is a nice touch and as always. Thanks so much for putting the time in and not using music or talking over the video.
Amazing work! It boggles my mind how someone can take such poor care of a watch to begin with! I'm glad there are watchmakers like you who can breathe new life into these classics.
@Taylo Ren. That's a simplistic and very narrow-minded answer. Expensive wristwatches are purchased and worn by a wide range of society. For example, military personel, oil rig workers, construction industry, as well as those who wear watches as 'costume jewellery', or evening wear. I've had my submariner for over 20 years: I've served, I've ridden my motorcylce on almost every continent on earth, through African deserts to far reaching places such as Deadhorse, Alaska. It's taken some bashing, has many many miles under its belt but still works perfectly. Therefore, with such wide use as I've described above, through many tough terrains, in extreme temperatures, rugged landscape to formal dinners, the Rolex is made to last BUT is not immune to misshap when travel / events do not always go as planned. Maybe the owner was involved in a serious incident, that wasn't his/her fault, who knows! Anyway, the point is that it is entirely possible that this watch has had a tough life, so to say that someone, "...can take such poor care of a watch to begin with!...) is just guesswork on your part. No offence intended but please feel free to broaden your mind.
Every time I watch one of these videos I am amazed that the very skilled artisan doing the work is able to get the watches put back together. I am reminded of many times I took stuff apart over the years but . . . well let's just say I was less than successful at reversing the process!
Serious question, it doesn't make sense that you would use the time machine to repair the glass, you should have put the entire watch in there to get the day one edition back. Regardless of this oversight I have subscribed and will continue to watch this channel.
Remarkable restoration. That poor DJ was hammered. It's hard to believe anyone would let any fine timepiece like that get so far out of whack. Well done.
@Lee In the 60s and even 70s you could buy a new Rolex for the equivalent of 900-1000$ in today's money. These watches were meant to be worn your whole life in any kind of situation.
I started watching your videos a long time ago and I have to say you inspired me to get into watchmaking as a hobby. I sold my motorcycle and a few other things and have purchased some of the tools you use here. I took some classes and have messed up a lot of watches but finally last year I began to make them tick. it's the most satysfying thing ever. I thank you for your attention to detail in editing and showing your skill. I love this hobby. Again, thanks and keep doing what you are doing. Oh and your sock game is on fire!!
I had this watch. Bought it in 2010 for £1300, upgraded a few times over the years but will always love the anniversary dial. Amazing how they have increased in value.
Watching these videos, gives me real perspective on the concept of the “value” we place on things. As a watch collector and enthusiast that DateJust is like the holy grail, but to another person that could care less about watches or horology as a whole, sees that same datejust as just an archaic waste of metal that only tells the time.
Not only am I amazed on the restoration but I'm also amazed on how someone would allow a Rolex to get in such a pitiful condition. Excellent channel and video(s).
Just to give my two cents on how to get to this condition: My best guess would be somebody used the watch like it was intended to be used, as a sports watch rather than some bling just to flex. AFAIK ROLEXes are "work horses" known for precision but also sturdyness and the former owner may have put this to the test. At some time somehow the glass/crystal broke (due to impact?) and also water entered the casing (shouldn't have taken it into the shower with a broken glass?). Handed it in for repair/inspection and company denied to work on this piece, due to the water parts started corrosion and when testing how bad it was the crown broke off when trying to manipulate/make dials move... Then it went into a drawer until the owner decided to sell
Great work ..I've collected wristwatches over 30yrs..never saw a crystal repair of that level ..this person is very good & probably a watchmaker .they don't do hairspring repair in my area .have to send off ..very talented person ...
Wiedermal einsame Klasse! Ich hatte es schonmal geschrieben aber kann mich nur wiederholen, bitte mach das weiter so, dass du absolut perfekte Qualität über Quantität setzt. Lieber ein Video alle paar Monate und dafür so ein schönes. 👍🏻
What a fantastic restoration job to this classic Rolex. A great movement. Love your tools and finessing of the parts to get them up to spec. A fair bit of a list for new parts, but necessary to bring this beauty back up to snuff...and the readings look awesome.... Great job on the bracelet and clasp..- Love it...- Kudos to you...!!
Love these videos, very relaxing and inspiring. I invested in some basic tools and over the last few months have been able, with limited skills and tools, to diagnose what was preventing some family watches from ticking and have been able to make them tick again. Thank you for sharing your skills and inspiring videos.
It's 10am on New Years Day 2023 here in south west Australia and I can't explain the Mesmeric quality of these videos. Please keep them coming, they're riveting.
It would be interesting to see how the bracelet was restored and the costs involved. Nice to see a bracelet being kept and not just replaced with a replica or leather strap. Thank you for posting another enjoyable and informative video 👍👍👍
I've only owned watches that you throw away when the battery dies. They keep perfect time for about 5 years, 15 bucks a piece. I'm amazed at this watch and the craftsman.
Glad to see a new upload!! You’re my favorite watch resto channel. 20-ish minutes is perfect and you always have very interesting pieces. I’ll be back to give this a full watch later tonight 🤜🤛

Too bad you had to spend a lot for replacement parts, but what an outstanding job! And your socks will even make BigStackD jealous! Looking forward to your next master repair/restoration!
Always do like you doing it for yourself. I was watching so many youtubers that repair watches and when they start with assemble they don't clean dial, and I'm like how can you do something like that, or you can wash your hands but I would not suggest you to go swim with him... Such a good job you've done! I would definitely buy from guy like you.

Wow!! I can't believe how much work was needed to restore a neglected watch. Very nice video. so much incredible detail outlining the process. Lots of skill & patience needed to work on such small & precise fitting parts. Just amazing that parts so small can be made so exacting.
I see what you did there and I loved it. I have 2 HMT watches in my family and 1 times which needs servicing. I would be great ful if you could take a look at them.
Cool video! I have a 1988 model of this Rolex, only difference is mine has a blue Rolex logo dial. Mine is in pristine condition, I had it serviced by Rolex about 5 years ago. It's the only Rolex I own, given to me by my late father, I'll never sell it.
That was one hell of a pool party haha :D. Interesting to see the cost of all parts, dough this watch seemed to be extremely rusted, well done job to sort out the mess! That new Elma machine was nice to see also, well done resto 👏
I mean: W O W ! ! ! Never seen something so beautyful as a work and dedication to details and.. Man! What a superb result! (I wonder how much this watch is worth after all this repairs) 👍👍
I love silent UA-camrs. Their action alone is enough to show their professionalism.
Soy Fan de este canal me encanta. Saludos
What amazes me the most is how anyone can keep track of so many tiny parts and how to reassemble them all.
Not something you learn and remember over night. But knowing HOW a watch works is the key.
Simple, you trace them via video and photos.
@@traviswalker8933 yeah, sure as a hobbyist probably 😂
@@traviswalker8933 This, and for me, keeping the movement in segmented trays, so each bridge is with its screws.

Go ahead and take the screws and jumble them up together, that's how you build visual memory
Great idea to use the flux capacitor to repair the crystal. Haven't seen anyone do it before
