My AP Royal Oak Gets Polished! - Watch How The Pros Do It!!
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
Having a watch polished can be a scary thing IF you do not have the right person. I for one am a watchmakers worst nightmare lol. I like my watches done a certain way. I always say that the right watchmaker can polish a watch 100 times but it only takes 1 time for a bad watchmaker to leave permanent damage. Knowing the right person is very important. This particular person that I use is one of my friends and has over 50 years of experience. He is located here in Miami and is one of the few that I can trust with my personal watches from my collection. Most people think that this is a fast process but really do not understand all the steps that it takes to really get a correct watch refinish completed. Hope you guys enjoy this video as much as I did.

Have you bought a watch yet ?
This "how its made" style of video is unique bud....I think you've stumbled upon your lane. Wow and thanks for making this!
I felt like I was in a movie, where a small group of soldiers defeated 10000 enemies. But in the meantime, they "just" cleaned and polished Eric's watch. Loved it!

Can only echo the comments below. What a superb production piece. Bravo to Eddy and Sons Watchmakers. Love to watch your work! Thanks also to Eric and the camera / production team. Wow, wow & wow!
it's astonishing how i'm always blown away at the original craftsmanship of APs, etc. and the restoration process every time i see it
Now this is brilliant. Us diehard watch enthusiasts crave this kind of technical content, and man the skills it takes to do a full polish on a high end piece like this. I hope this isn't a dying art.
What a fantastic idea for a video. Was literally just thinking about this last night, wanting a video like this!
Your making go to watch content. It’s not only watchable it’s hypnotic 👏👏👏

What a follow up from the cuban chains video. This absolutely rocks and it settles the age old debate whether to have a watch polished or not!
Awesome video thanks for sharing! The AP is my holy grail.
after almost a year, re-watching it, so much more appreciating the watch makers, and loving my royal oak
I found this soo satisfying, the only way to restore such a beautiful watch ready for more wear 👏🏼👍🏼 wear it, repair it, enjoy it.
That was one of the best watch videos I've seen on KZread, thanks watch Eric

Great video Eric!! Have you ever had a Rolex polished by Rolex? If so..did it turn out just as nice as your Royal oak? Love your enthusiasm and honest opinions when it comes to these timepieces. Keep up the great videos!!!
That was really interesting and nicely done! At the 6:58 mark I briefly see a jewelers loupe. Is there a particular brand of loupe you like to use Eric? Thanks for all the great content.
One word - Amazing!!!
Nerve wracking!! A master craftsman
Dang good video Eric 👌
It’s nice to see a watch collector and dealer actually get their watch polished. I get so tired of hearing about not getting watches polished and them looking like the fell out of my Jeep and got run over.
Very interesting! Thank you for the Video!😍
Love the music. Got a Miami vibe going on there fella.
That’s the care I need for my watch too well done
