Never really been a fan of these watches. But seeing it back in its former glory is something beautiful. The gold plating and orange crono hands and black accents is actually quite sharp. You did an absolutely fantastic job, yet again

The incredible skill on display, the amazing specialized equipment and tools, and the superb quality of the filming, all added together, made this a wonderful experience. Plus, at last I have found out what the watch Brad was wearing in that brilliant movie.

At the end I thought “I still see tiny scratches’ - then realised they were on my iPad….. Amazing talent on show. Great video.

Huge watch fan and I never stop being in awe of the intricate craftsmanship that goes into timepieces. Super satisfying to "watch"

Wow! This is amazing!! 🤩 As a Japanese who loves mechanical watches and who has gotten serviced by our local Citizen Japan craftsmen, seeing you polish up an entire case and not replacing it by “Time Machine” 😆, it’s mind blowing! I know Citizen only replaces an entire case (especially anything plated one). I don’t know if you have worked on a full titanium Citizen solar powered watches but I’ve recently sent one of my Citizen titanium watches to Citizen with a rose gold plated titanium case (titanium base). They only replace a case, and the case itself costs 15,000 yen+ to replace it. 😅 Overhaul service isn’t too bad though ¥18,000. Lol. Imagine the case with a glass cover costs almost the same as fully getting serviced on a watch. 😅 I’m still contemplating if I should get the case replaced. Haha Love your show btw, amazing!

I’m amazed at how you remember all the screw placements once removed, you horological engineers are amazing and not a shaky hand in sight. I’m very impressed….off to watch more of your videos 👍🏼

Reminds me of watching a watch repair man as a kid at my dad's family coffee shop. I was enthralled for hours. Thanks for bringing back that memory.

This ASMR for the eyes! I could watch you do this all day and never tire of it. The skill and attention is incredible. You are truly a gifted craftsman. No, not craftsman...Artist! Thank you so much!

I’ve collected Citizen watches since I met my wife, a love that I shared with my late grandfather. What a trophy it is to have a Bullhead, and what an incredible job of breathing life into this one!

I’m absolutely astounded by the restoration of this watch. Outstanding!

Besides your unbelievably steady hand, the thing that most amazes me is how you can remember when everything goes. Favorite machine: That spinning cleaner. Thank you. I love your videos.

You just become my favorite watch restorer on youtube. Clean work and final result amazing. Best regards!

SAND BLASTING: Clearly one of the most satisfying things someone with OCD can ever do. I got to work in a machine shop when I was younger and the sand blaster was always my favorite tool.

I love the technical precision of watch mechanisms. Your restoration of this timepiece was an equal bit of technical precision. I'm amazed by what you were able to do to resurrect this classic.

This restoration is PROFOUND! Absolutely amazing result. The gold plating was a revelation, and as for the time machine...!

So many tiny little itsy-bitsy pieces to keep track of! How?! 😧 What a beautiful job… I rebuilt a few carburetors in my day, and I thought they were complicated, but they were nothing compared to the intricacy of that watch. That was brilliant!

I love that you finished the hands in orange, it really makes them stand out.

I don't know a lot about watches, but the final assembly and presentation in your videos is always very satisfying to watch

In a time where most things are thrown away after it becomes worn. It is amazing to see something restored in such spectacular fashion!

Even if my father is no longer in this life, I will continue to admire him forever. to be a watchmaker and have that serenity, pressure, temper, intelligence, not just anyone has that commitment since it is a world. Congratulations TEACHER and it reminded me a lot of my father. As a child, I saw those same tools. I recently found hundreds of tiny spare parts, separated into jars. If he reads me and is interested and guides me on what to do with it, I don't want him to end up in the trash. My father's name was Raul Campillo from Chile. I Aldo, if you are interested, do not hesitate to write a contact.

Went out with my wife for dinner and some drinks this evening. Now after having watched this beautiful restoration I can go to sleep peacefully.

To see the restoration on a big screen is making me happy.

This uses Citizen's patented stacked wheel selector, which they developed as a simpler-to-manufacture alternative to the column wheel. It uses a pair of one way toothed gear wheels riveted together rather than a single-piece machined wheel. Frederique Constant's new manufacture chronograph movement uses a similar system but with a star shaped wheels which provide an improvement to smoothness of operation.

I just sat though the entire 22 min video and was never bored or skipped any part. This is pure watch ASMR.

When I saw your "ELMA" parts cleaning machine, it reminded me of my father who was a Master watchmaker years ago. Thanks for that memory and a really nice job on the watch!!!

Awesome skills, never knew so many tiny intricate parts made up something to measure a thing that we can't even see. Time. So cathartic to 'watch' and not only see you repair and replace parts but the tools and machinery that you use are also fascinating to behold. Just a random KZread video but 'what a video' many respects to you.

What a beautiful classic watch. Awsome repair job. Dexterity, attention to detail, patience and steady hand skills Incredibly technical parts . Great video

Really awesome watch restore. This Citizen in particular is one of my favorites as far as Citizen goes.

That is quite simply unbelievable. Hypnotic to watch; your talent knows no bounds. Just amazed.

I don't have much knowledge of the world of watches and until recently, I haven't been a fan of them either. My dad just gave me a watch that my grandfather never got to wear because he died. I like the way it looks and I wear it everywhere. Seeing this video makes me appreciate watches in general. There are so many moving parts and the time that goes into just assembling it is awesome. It's even better to see one resorted. Great video man.

Perfect timing - I have one of these with a silver dial and steel case, the chrono dial hands do not engage properly and the day adjuster seldom works. Now I can see how all the bits fit together :-)

just watching the watchmaker making the watch. I love it. Wonderful work.

I just think it's so cool to be able to gold plate stuff at home. I'm looking at my cutlery drawer now thinking some of you boys might be getting an upgrade soon.

few notes - degrease item with alcohol prior to sandblasting(prevents clogging), and when spray-painting - set your item on a mesh or perforated panel to prevent paint bouncing off from back pressure of the surface you're painting on

I have an 8110 Bullhead in natural silver finish that my wife bought for me when we got married (almost 39 years ago). She got it from the clearance section at the Kadena Air Base exchange.
