Super Scratched Rolex Yacht-Master 40 116622 | Polish Refinish Restoration [ASMR] | Watchtrader & Co

Ойын-сауық

Relax and enjoy the meticulous polish of a well worn 2013 Yacht Master 40. This watch has a stunning bright blue dial and is dressed in Rolesium, Rolex’s proprietary platinum alloy. We received this piece into the store and immediately knew it would need to be polished to restore the full beauty of this timepiece. The watch had been polished in the past but we were confident that our skilled polisher would bring it back to us looking like a million bucks.
The refinishing process of this watch requires a number of specialist processes including laser welding, sand blasting, lapping, steaming and ultrasonic cleaning. Firstly, the case and bracelet are disassembled and then the movement is carefully removed. This allows each part to be refinished individually for maximum precision. After the refinishing is complete and the watch is reassembled, it is pressure tested to ensure that waterproof seals are fully functional.
Watchtrader & Co are an established family owned business with a boutique store based in Newcastle upon Tyne and a client base UK wide. They also have partner stores in London so you can buy, sell or upgrade your watch in a location that is convenient for you. With years of experience in the trade, they stock an impressive range of the hottest timepieces from leading luxury brands such as Audemars Piguet, Rolex, Patek Philippe, Richard Mille, Cartier, Tudor and more.

    It has a different style. He polished the glass without dismantling it. He did not disassemble the tube. He followed a different method for the bracelet. He did not remove the upper curtain of the blazer. Still, it is a good job.

    He did a great job but I would not call him a perfectionist - the tell is at the end where he puts the watch together, pressing the springbar of the clasp with his nail scratching the edge of the clasp, the same goes with putting in the springbars connecting the watch to the case - pressing them against the case while compressing = making scratches on the inside of the lugs. Factory finish is PERFECTION, this is just a VERY GOOD job ;)

    In your videos you say to a customer about polishing and it almost feels casual and then you see this and realise it is anything but! Welding new material to cover the divots in the case, then polishing so that all the original lines and crispness of the case are maintained and then, that Platinum bezel! It is both the thing I love and loath most about the yachtmaster! Love it because it is a wonderful look and loath it because that sandblasted finish is so easy to scratch! What an artisan the chap is. What is wonderful as well is that the owner really wore the watch, no safe queen this one, worn as a Rolex should be worn! Best video you have made thus far, thank you!

    Jason are you in the US? Do you have references? The bezel on my 16622 has an incredibly irritating scuff or what almost appears to be a polish mark on the sandblasted part of it, bought it that way and it drives me INSANE. I took it to Rolex AD and he told me it wasn’t worth it as they wouldn’t just service the bezel, it’s a “complete “ service, of course 🙄 which means expensive. They basically told me to leave it alone as it’s not that bad

    The most professional full watch restoration I have ever seen ! The level of detail and superb craftsmanship is a sight to behold, furthermore, I was very impressed with the amount and quality of the tools/machinery used in the video... I would love to send my dad's (who has sadly passed from complications and poor care from the doctors who were charged for his care) Omega Seamaster Chronometer w/Omega Caliber 1120 Movement (1995 James Bond version) in all stainless steel (36mm version) w/White Dial...Ref: 2552.20 If it's not too expensive to do so, I would like to do a full restoration. Again, it has more sentimental value to me than physical value (although it is worth in the neighborhood of $3K to $4K) It would be a great watch to pass it on to my Son. Oh by the way, I'm in the Greater Danbury Connecticut USA currently, so the watch would have to be shipped unless there is an excellent watchmaker in this part of the woods... Thanks gents.

Sometimes, we also have to do some manual work (without power tools) for filing, sanding, reshaping, etc. And for brittled vintage watches or expensive watches like Patek Philippe, A Lange Sohne, etc. it will take more time because we need to be extra careful.
