Disclaimer : Unpolished watches purists gang, please, avoid yourself an attack and leave the video.
In this video I'm lightly polishing a gold Rolex Daytona reference 116528, I purposedly leave some marks to avoid removing some engravings and keeping originals angles, since I don't have a laser for the moment.
Thanks for the love and support on this channel, I will keep moving forward, some cool projects are coming
Don't forget to subscrube for fuck sake
Gah! The way you slap the watch on the table 😭😭😭😭
Beautiful results 🥰
Beautiful finished work.
Brought it back to life!
Wow 🤩
amazing work...would love to see the full video.
Magnifique
The owner must be a car mechanic!
Exactly what I thought! 😁👍🏼
Did this guy go to war with that watch or what? Great work!
Come nuovo vero professionista
Gorgeous.
Amazing
Wow 🤩 bravo 👏
I have one of those Movado Bold watches in bad condition, I think it's a polished stai nless steel gold finish. Are you able to bring it back k to life?
Hello, yes sure! You can either contact me thru instagram @lerestauratheure or either on my website www.lerestauratheure.fr
More details about the materials you use would be of interest to many of us that are also into the watch restoration hobby. You know, buffing discs, compounds, sanding paper grids...all this stuff
Reach out to watch makers
Thank you for making this video.
I would like to get into watch modifications and eventually gradually start movement restorations. Do you have any directions as to what are some things I can be doing? So far I have bought basic tools more geared for modding from DIY watch club using a NH35 movement. (I successfully changed the date wheel, hands,and dial to aftermarket seiko parts not given by the company)
I’ve read practicing on a pocket watch works well being that the parts are bigger and easier to work with. I also want to try and disassemble and reassemble the movement.
Any advise on good books, schools or things that has best served you in the past to help build your skills. Thank you in advance! 😁
I have a rose gold Daytona that needs a polish and glass replaced. How much does that normally cost ?
It depends of the state of the watch, you can send it to me for a free quotation, contact link is on my website www.lerestauratheure.fr
What is the Cost ? And how much of the gold is being polished or sanded to get the satin finish ?
It depends of the work that need to be done. Yes you technicaly "remove" weight but its unnoticable, for a quotation, follow the contact link on my website www.lerestauratheure.fr
Make video longer please. I want to see full process
Whats the price for that job?
Great work. What is the Name of the second polish wheel you use in the video? Greetings
This is a bergeon felt wheel for gold
What's goo used at 2:38?
They never tell you but I believe 320 grit sand paper. Green Brillo pads work well but gives you a more coarser look... which looks good but if you're looking for a true (smooth) matte finish, try 320 with light pressure.
2:48 I watched it again and if you pause it at 2:48 - it looks like he used 2 different techniques. The band on the left looks like it was done with a Brillo pad which has a courser finish and the one on the right is smoother which was probably done with 320 sand paper. Not sure how particular you are or what watch your refinishing but that's the difference between Brillo & 320 sand paper. And then Cape Cod on the polished areas.
ua-cam.com/video/_YZf8zzH7l8/v-deo.html - is this how you would polish back side of case?
Thought it looked cooler before the polish
stop killing watches !!! and learn how to do it
with the way you done it you damaged and distorted the original geometry of the case ,strap ,bezel
all lines and surfaces must remain acording to the original shape and form
you buffed to death all sharp corners ,you can tell by the way ligth is reflect away frome the surfaces its not sharp and uniform like it needs to be
but wavy and rounded
