What amazes me the most is how anyone can keep track of so many tiny parts and how to reassemble them all.

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.

This is more interesting than any of those stupid Tik Tok challenges

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.

@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.

It's an incredible job. It's a pleasure to watch a master at his craft.

Incredible! When I saw the pivot part cleaning by hand my brain just went „wow, this guy is not messing around”. Great content!

Every time i see your cool old parts cleaner, i always wish a youtuber that restores old machines would make it look new again

This man skill takes years for perfection that was awesome

You are not a master. You are THE Master. Amazing. Also, great camera, sound, etc.

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.

I now appreciate the work of art known as a Rolex and why they are so expensive!

Great work! You should get Nobel prize for crystal repair

@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.

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 a Rolex Explorer II once. Wife made me sell it. Wished I hadn't done that! Your videos makes me want another so bad!

I own a Rolex Oysterdate from the 1960s and it fits like a charm, I hope to pass it on to my son so he can continue to enjoy it.

Incredible as always: thank you so much for making and sharing your wonderful videos with us!

Guy must've thought the DateJust was a Submariner. The rust removal on those tiny parts was amazing.

That dial repair made me crack up! New generation won't get it.

Watch restoration are most satisfying videos on KZread

This was so satisfying to watch. I can't imagine how it must feel to do this all by yourself and then wear that Rolex. Woooo!

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.

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 🤜🤛

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

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.

Reminds me of the scene from Toy Story when that guy is repairing Woody. So satisfying!!

Your work is purely art

Incredible craftmanship.

You got me at the Flux Capacitor part...... I was in shock for a good minute

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.

This what you call precision.

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...!!
