Hypnotic. Got me watching for almost an hour and I have no interests in watches. Great engineering, fantastic repair skills, knowledge and passion. And I must say that he was able to keep me interested all the way through without becoming boring or making me feel uninterested... almost like as if I was a colleague who also does watch repairs. Great at verbally "illustrating" the work being done... fascinating.

me too! i also watched the whole video! No interesting in watches but i do like enginering and diy projects

Same here. Xb

Same, great guy working with a great passion.

Same, I watched it all

Same

new to the channel and I just wanted to say, this is possibly the BEST restoration video I've seen, the level of detail, the passion, the story, THE WATCH! wow well done, I'm in from now on, keep up the great content ✔

As we have transitioned from the mechanical analog age to the digital age the incredible engineering prowess of these watchmakers becomes forgotten . You have clearly put in the time and effort to become a master at what you do and all of your videos are fascinating and educational. Thank you for what you do in bringing a dose of humanity and history to divert us from the digital leviathan threatening to overwhelm us all.

Don't worry. Give it 50 years to collect and erase them and another 25-50 to reintroduce it (possibly rebranded/renamed). That is what yesterday's businesses/governments call invention.

I wonder the whole time, how do you the parts back on?!

I think you're a pretty good guy, for putting so much energy into restoring these watches that mean so much to the owners, even after Rolex and others wouldn't touch them! Good man! Way to be!

I know nothing about watches, but I absolutely love your videos. The amount of care and passion you put into restoring a watch is clear. This was a joy to see you put that watch back in working order. Fantastic work.

I know it's a year back, but just wanted to give you props for such an amazing restoration. This was important work, as you said a few times not just because of the money but because of the meaning behind the watch. I'm sure the owner greatly appreciates what you did for her!

I've never been so captivated by a repair video before. This video should win some kind of award.

This comment is enough reward for me, thanks for saying so :)

@Wristwatch Revival I totally agree with PineCoffee. Your fascinating video got me quite emotional. It made me proud of my great-grandfather who repaired watches in the first part of the 20th century for a living. Unfortunately that is almost all I know about him.

Same

I am not even into watches, nor do I watch repair videos (with the exception of car restorations), but I watched the whole thing.

Why thought’s as well…water and watches don’t mix so I just figure it was waste of time…awesome job and video…

Everything from camera angles, smooth voice and explanations to the execution and keeping me entertained was simply top notch. The skills this man has is not from this world. After getting to the end of the video i couldnt believe it has been almost an entire hour. This is what makes youtube still great, people that take their time on which they are really good at and want to share their experience to us. You sir, you're a genius, nice camera work, nice setup, keep those videos coming because i am your new subscriber

I have to say from the start that I’m not a watch person…honestly no idea why YouTube suggested this video. But I couldn’t happier that I was able to witness greatness…you’re obviously skilled ( with hands like a surgeon), have passion not just for the history of Rolex( much of which I didn’t know) and this watch as a collectors item in general. For me the story of the watch and the idea of bringing it back to life was awesome. I’ll never have a watch like this to give to leave my children but I can appreciate family heirlooms and the effort you made in the reconstruction process. I love knowing there are skilled and caring people out there! You are certainly one of them. TY and all the best to you !

I don't care about mechanical watches, especially watches like this one, but It's super interesting to see how complex it is. What impresses me the most is how he knew where to put everything back. Amazing work!

This was absolutely amazing to watch...more interesting than watching brain surgery. Loved the narration of the parts, what they do...and why you were doing what you did to them. I also really appreciate your level of craftmanship and respect for the engineering and the personal history of the watch.

You have done an amazing job on this watch, it was a privilege to see this come together. Hopefully the person will take better care of this watch.

I was a Jeweler, more specifically diamond setter, for better part of my life, I am 72 now and my hat is off to you my friend, you are a master. To take apart Rolex, clean up rust and put it back together requires knowledge, steady hands, patience and accuracy, to have all those qualities is to be a master!

You being able to appreciate his talent tells me you couldn’t have been half bad at what you did either.

I hope he has an apprentice he can pass his experience on to.

À

Not to menthion a heap of special tools!

Incredible! What a service you gave and she must be so happy. Fantastic the procedural and very fascinating the miniature parts and movement. So well done, such patience.

Hi Marshal. As a mechanical engineer I was thrilled to watch your video. Your obvious skill and dedication shone through the entire clip. I have subscribed to your channel and am very much looking forward to see more of your contributions'. Best regards. Alan.

As the owner of a GMT Master II, this repair piece is really good. I have had the watch since 1989 and have worn it everyday since. It was a gift form my deceased wife and means so much to me and will be given to my grandson after I die. A lot like the owner of the watch you are repairing I have worn it while fishing, hunting, traveling, you name it. It is about ready for its third overhaul. Thanks for your piece.

Man you kept me watching a Rolex yet a watch repair for an hour when I don't even wear any kind of watch and never won't, you do something incredible man

I know the feeling of bringing something back to life - I restore antique musical instruments and it's always a great feeling and huge pleasure to get them playing again after maybe 100 years of neglect, and being used for their primary purpose. This was a captivating video - well done!

It's incredible how tight the tolerances are on such tiny mechanisms. As a machinist who does work for big industries, I see so much rust on things that just keep on chugging along, whereas something so small and delicate requires every piece to be pristine. Really gives you an appreciation for the craftsmanship involved in the design of these cool little devices.

Think it's more the relative size compared to foreign matter. 1mm of rust on something 1000mm is nothing, 0.1mm of rust on 10mm is like playing football in quicksand

@Aiden Gracey that's what tolerance is about, it's the range of size that a part can be and still function, when saying watches have tight tolerances it's saying that a small change in size would cause the part to not work, there's no relative tolerance based on size, it depends on the function each part has to perform

Yup... You could not have said it better...right...right..right!!!

@Aiden Gracey when trying to sound smart fails 😂😂

Does anyone know the purpose of the internal jewels of the watch?

Amazing skill and craftmenship! The owner is so lucky to have this repair performed with such skill and recorded with commentary ...

This is the first time I’ve ever seen or watched something like this and I’m in shock and ore how amazing this is. Just to think about these watches were made years ago and the way they made them is astounding. You are an amazing craftsman in your trade

Amazing video, great work, videography and narration. One of my main take-aways for me is that no matter how meticulous you are about protecting and maintaining something for 50+ years - your kids will probably destroy it within a year of your passing 😅

Outstanding video as well as marvelous work performed by you. People such as yourself who are willing to go the extra mile to help others are what this country was founded on. Well done!

Thank you Marshall. I adore watches and watching your repairs in a world full of miserable news and hate, this is my escape. Can't wait to watch more. Loved this repair in particular though, disappointing in Rolex to not repair, but thankfully people like yourself are here to sort that out. Keep up the good work

I've got to say: I really didn't expect to watch an almost 1 hour video on watch repair. But this video was honestly so satisfying and interesting! I'm impressed with how complex the watch is yet you're easily able to name every part and keep them organized. To me that seems like magic. You're also so careful with the way you work! Like some of those plyers were wooden or plastic coated to prevent scratching? There were even times when you covered the pieces in plastic before you disassembled them. I really am impressed by your level of care and attention to detail. You seem to really care about doing a good job and I think this is reflected in result. I hope your business keeps doing well and you make more videos. Oddly relaxing to watch.

I feel the same way. I expected to fast forward multiple times, but I didn't. Every minute was worth it.

Played it 1.5x lol great video

I would like to second that sentiment. Was very satisfying an a true professional on how if you wanted to get into the business or just wanted to tinker. Very satisfying to watch!

It felt like 5 minutes

Feel exactly the same

Wow! I never take Any electronics or a watch to the beach. Salt water is Deadly on any thing. I'm so sorry this had to happen to such a sentimental piece. Those who served in Vietnam deserve the best respect of all they brought Home. Especially Themselves. I hope this rings with other Vietnam Survivors children . Keep Dad's Souvenirs of their Service to America Safe. ❤ Thanks for helping Annie. I know she felt really upset. Your help was a God send.❤ 🇺🇸✌️🤗

This is such a good video. I have never looked into watch restoration before, this was my introduction, and I'm happy it was. It captivated me the entire way, I wasn't distracted for a second. Such good narration, clearly showing the expertise behind the actions done. 10/10!

I just discovered your channel today sir. I’m mind blown with your work! It is absolutely amazing. You sir , are master in your craftsmanship. Well done ! I’m so amazed with your work and will to put these watches back to life . Respect for helping those lovely people who put emotional value over price . Honestly I’ve dropped eye tear when you put this watch back to life knowing bwc story of it, I’m so invested emotionally with you. Absolutely amazing work , especially when Rolex refused to work on it and you did IT !!! Amazing!!!! Maybe one day you fix my dad lange sohne :)

I've seen few people who are repairing different things that dealers won't. Having almost losing hope and then finding that one guy that is willing to do it and finally see the awesome job, this is just heartwarming. You will forever be part of this watchs history, thank you.

What are chans are you talking about? I'd like to look at them.

I just came across your channel. There are some activities where I think "I could do that" and some not so. This is one of the latter. The love and care which you gave to this timepiece was awesome. It is in both relaxing and inspiring to watch ( no pun intended). Thank you.

I never thought I would find myself watching a guy take a watch apart, but your various special tools, confident work, and knowledge of all the names of the parts, makes you sound like a doctor! and your conversation explaining the process was captivating.

Same here. I wasn't even remotely aware there could be a channel devoted to watch repairs but as I started watching it, totally remained glued to the screen in awe of his precision craftsmanship, specialty tools that I couldn't even imagine exist and his knowledge of each & every part of the watch.

So true

I'd get the part names wrong often enough, but I can see how they related and work together well enough to figure out assembly and disassembly. What's worth gold is seeing lube points and what's worth platinum, seeing which tools get used for what purpose. The only better thing for cleaning than an ultrasonic cleaner is two ultrasonic cleaners! ;) Just looked up the rust away, MSDS shows Ammonium Bifluoride and an acid to buffer and complex things, plus a solvent. Ammonium Bifluoride is properly known as Ammonium Hydrogen Bifluoride and disassociates into HF in water, so not a good thing to get on you, but it's a 1 - 10% level in the solution, reasonable precautions would work well enough. Phosphoric acid would do the same thing, but it'd leave a phosphide layer that'd discolor the movement. That's the active ingredient in naval jelly and also what's used when heated to Parkerize steel gun parts.

Ayam goreng enak

I thot I was the only one. I watched in entirety and glad she had her Dad's watch back. Disappointed with Rolex for not even bother to restore it. Kudos for Marshall for helping her. You are a true craftsman !

This is like watching Bob Ross paint...totally fascinating, even if you're no painter or watch addict. It's like meditating, a real join to sit through and drift away from everyday life ❤️

I've never WATCHED one of these - but I do some machining and I have to say that you are very, very easy to listen to - I'd rank you 999th out of 1000 for speaking to us like a small group of interested students. Your passion and care for another's cherished family possessions really shines through in your work and makes it evident that yours is truly a labor of love. Thanks! Subbed and I'm not even "into" watches! But I do watch "Abomb79" machine shop! Check that one out. Another humble soul in his craft.

Amazing work, well done! In just under an hour I learned so much about watchmaking. Thanks to you! I learned many years ago, that a Rolex secondhand sweeps around the dial and never ticks as the knock offs do.

This was seriously impressive I'm surprised rolex was so unwilling to fix the watch. But the customer probably lucked out because you did a really good job and it probably saved her some money too

Fantastic video, the passion you have is on another level and the surgical skill and patience you put into practice is amazing, bet the woman was over the moon to have it back in great working order.

YOU ARE THE MAN ! Rolex should be ashamed of themselves for not even give it to an old school watchmaker to take on that challenge. My grandfather and Great great grandfather were master watch maker. Great Great grandfather was the general manager of Hamilton watch company in Lancaster pa for years. When they didn't have parts, THEY WOULD MAKE A NEW PART BY HAND. You telling me Rolex couldn't do that. I'm so proud of you for fixing it. I hope you signed inside the cover. You are an artist now. Neal

i Agree! Rolex are horrible for not fixing such expensive products that they make.. This guy is amazing, felt his joy of fixing it and the owners joy of having it repaired so well

Agree. Rolex should be ashamed. I have an Aston Martin. Aston Martin Works will take any Aston and make it like new. Pathetic Rolex can't be bothered to attempt the same. It would certainly put me off seeing any reason to buy into the brand.

They are a non profit so why should they

You got my attention because I have sausage fingers I could never do that . Bravo .

@Brei are they like gucci where the more popular they are the more shit they become?

Man you are a master at this. Not only at assembly this watch - the video angels and editing everything. 10/10. I enjoyed every minute of this video.

I'm extremely surprised, the dexterity, skill and understanding you have to put it back after you cleaned each and every minute part, mesmerising and great engineering

What an amazing restoration … and memorialization of it on video. Your work is so masterful. Thank you for the journey and the wonderful, detailed explanation. What a learning experience each of your videos is!

I don't even wear a watch and yet somehow the video got recommended and I'm glad it did. Watched the whole thing without getting bored. That voice is captivating and the whole repair work is somehow very satisfying. Awesome job!

How you keep track of all those small pieces is impressive in itself. Just seeing you just place them all together on your mat gave me anxiety lol.

I can only imagine the emotion - on both sides - when you gave the lady her Dad's watch restored to life again. Well done, Marshall.

Amazing edit, amazing commentary, amazing restoration! Well done sir!

This was such a beautiful restoration. Great job bringing this watch back to life.

Marshal, I've been watching your videos for a few years.... just love them. My father served his apprenticeship with Smith Industries, and even though he never worked professionally as a watch maker, he repaired vintage watches and clocks all his life. I remember him coming home from his normal job (woking for the Ford Motor Company), and always having watches to fix...he never taught me, but watching your videos just brings back so many memories of watching him, and unbelievably I still remember some of the part names, as I would often be with him as he'd go to the local watch part supplier to pick up parts. thanks so much for the videos!

I thought I won’t be watching this this after couple of minutes or so, but I completely watched it. I am not sure about the terminology but but this is one of those intriguing stuff that has silently attracted your attention and gives stunning climax. World class craftsmanship. Great work Sir!!! Salutes.

I enjoyed the heck out of this vid. This gentleman is precise, accurate and his narration, flawless. I have worked on a lot of stuff over the years. I started in the semiconductor industry 1980. I can appreciate precise repair work and specific lubricants for the particular task. He not only restored this gem , he made it even better. (Dial foot at 39:30) Great job.

What often defines the value of any vintage item is the sentimental value of it. For watch collectors, this watch is worth the 25 000$ you put in the title, but for this lady, this watch is simply priceless for all of the memories and feelings that it brings back. Congratulations, you did an absolutely amazing restoration on this piece. You are a truly a pro in what you do ! She's is very fortunate to have known you.

Thank you, and I agree and the owner agrees as well after talking with her!

@Wristwatch Revival you did a great Job on that watch !

awesome and truly inspiring ( craftsman and wonderful human being ).. kind regards

@Wristwatch Revival Marshall I’m being contacted from someone claiming to be you from this video in comments. Very bad English and they also have the ability to delete messages. Just a heads up buddy. If this one gets deleted I’ll report for you as they’re obviously in your system somehow manipulating messages. Something about a contest giveaway. Cheers!

@JubileeValence The scams are everywhere on YouTube.

Extremely polite and interesting presentation of an incredibly detailed job working with such tiny parts. Very professional. I'm not interested in watches but I was able to watch the whole video with no regrets. Absolutely fascinating. Will definitely subscribe.

"As a professional, seek to achieve a level where people enjoy just by watching you do your job". So much respect not only to your skills but to the hard work and dedication you did to acquire them, I don't know why YouTube suggested this to me (as a software developer) but didn't regret clicking and watching the whole video. Keep it up, subscribed.

You’re a master Sir, Kudos to you for working so hard to restore this watch, which ultimately represents this late mans legacy. I hope it’s worn with pride for generations.

Great story and awesome restoration Marshall. Helping others in life is more important than money. Holier than thou Rolex proving to everyone that money is more important than the human spirit. Not surprising, but disappointing just the same.

just got this in my recommendation and i must admit that the restoration was perfect :) so bad that Rolex themselves don't want to fix this watch as you mentioned that we need patience with this type of restoration. At last you made it work just alike before and now it will go on working many generations i believe and you will be remembered sir for making this watch alive again :) kudos :) i will hope around and surely watch your other amazing videos

Marshall, as a Vietnam vet myself I just want to say to you that your work on this watch didn't just restore a treasured piece for your client, it honors the legacy of the fellow Vietnam vet who owned and wore it. On his behalf, I thank you.

That was one of the reasons I subscribed. My father was a 2 tour Vietnam vet (28 years army) and this made me think of him....

thank you for your service sir.

Thank you for your service, Mr. Behling. I wasn’t alive and able to say it then, but I am alive and able now; Welcome home!

thank you for your service sir

expert level 100. thanks for sharing you are one in a million. the amount of patience, steady hand and concentration needed to do such a fine job is amazing

Incredible. I have always wanted to see a luxury watch taken apart fully and re-assembled. I was glued to my screen the entire time, watching in wonder as the cleaning and assembly was done. Outstanding work.

Impresionante trabajo, la verdad que pensé que tendría que reemplazar toda la maquinaria, lo que demuestra lo bien fabricado que puede estar un Rolex. Felicitaciones.

Great! I didn't even look at my watch once, the repair was so fascinating. It's so wonderful when someone masters their craft.

Man, i was on the elliptical machine at 24 hr fitness and this popped up. I was so invested in this project and got 12,000 steps in haha without knowing. Great job and narration. Will sub and 'watch' more of your videos. Excellent craftmanship.

Marshall is a god-tier expert at restoring watches when he can do a job even Rolex can't do, and no one else is willing to fix it. This man deserves a medal🎖

AYFKM?

@I Shoot Watches Why are you so offended by the idea that Rolex refused to complete the repair? With the extent of damage to the movement and likely necessity for limited-stock replacement parts, it's possible that they did not want to devote the necessary resources to this repair. They are currently behind on repairs, and many of their experienced watchmakers have recently retired. Guess living in Geneva didn't cue you in to all of the factors at play here.

Not that Rolex couldn't do the repair, it's that they didn't want to. They'd rather sell you a new watch.

@I Shoot Watches I don't want Google to translate it, unless it translates into the "slang".

@No Longer Amused Everyone's always got excuses these days why they can't❗️'' it's that they won't ! '' ‼️®™️ 😡😡

The amount of respect and admiration for your skill that I have for you sir cannot be put into words, truly remarkable!

I already had a lot of respect for your talent but after having a minor snafu with my own watch while simply changing the batteries I have even more respect! Working with and manipulating those microscopic parts is no joke. I always enjoy your videos

Excellent job on the restoration! I was surprised Rolex refused to repair it. Thank you for sharing.

You have a good voice, diction and tone. The whole package makes watching your channel so enjoyable. And your skills are just so impressive. I was a custom furniture maker but my fingers were never as steady as yours. As you can guess from me being a subscriber, I do have a passion for watches and yet, every time I open a case, my fingers shake just from the nervousness and inexperience. Great camera work as well. Thanks.

This was very interesting. The amount of engineering in that tiny piece is amazing. Few of things that I take for granted!!

I imagine people like yourself with the knowledge patience to repair these wonders of engineering are becoming rarer and rarer. Your skills are only surpassed by the designers and engineers who conceived these marvels in the first place!! Bravo! Keep up your fine work.

The designers and engineers were no where to be found, basically ran in fear of this watch. This is a god amongst men.

and machinists...

Amazing tools you got. Amazing Job you have done. So much passion, knowledge and skills. And the best, your customer can see what you have done exactly. (In an auto repair shop you only get the bill presented and no one knows what was really done.) The feeling when it starts working was like a successful heart surgery. I could really feel your happiness and the pressure that was gone. As a mechanic and maintainer, I can only thank you for this video. A different world but somehow the same. Very interesting Video. Thanks a lot for that.

Great story great job on the resto. Its sad to know that Rolex refused to work on it. They are, after all, the actual experts. I feel like that was abandoning a customer.

WOW!! I was glued to the screen! love how you made this watch come back to life and with all those little tiny pieces, whew! good job!

Que trabalho.... Bem executado parabéns pelo trabalho

Rolex refusing to restore this watch tells me everything I need to know about the company. Amazing work and good for you helping this person.

This was the first time I have seen anything like this, and to observe the disassembly, repair and reassembly of a Rolex is quite awe inspiring! I was completely mesmerized for the whole process.

Really good my whole family have owned chunks of hublot they were master watch makers you are good at watch making well done

it's The Voice

Same here

Wow, I could feel some of your tension. I know absolutely nothing about watch repair, but I stay in awe of you. If Rolex doesn’t try to steal you away I would be surprised.

If I had the tools and better eyesight I still don't think I could do such clean work. I found this channel a day or two ago and I've watched about a dozen videos already. Liked and subbed.

She not only got the watch back, she also get a very detailed video to document the whole process, definitely learn more about watch and may start to appreciate the watch more than before. Thanks to the God-like watchmaker!

Wow, you are incredible and whoever engineered this watch to make it what it is is nothing short of a genius.

It must have been devastating to the owner when Rolex declined to repair this. Very interesting to watch your repair skills. It is amazing that parts can be found.

I'm positive that the owner is more appreciative than you could ever imagine. Outstanding work! I'm happy for the owner and for you...the enjoyment you got when you saw that the watch worked, absoluteiy came through in the video. Again, well done!

Same thoughts here! Glad the owner found u!

I don’t understand why the factory refused to service this watch. It seems you were a little nervous taking the movement apart but you took it totally apart. It seems that it wasn’t all that difficult for you but it’s ouvious your a pro. I love people who exactly what there doing. Fun to watch you!!!

Great job 👏 never watched an entire YouTube video ever. I really like the commentary. It was a bunch of mixed emotions every step of the way. Beautiful time piece. Excellent restoration.

this video just stumbled on my home page since i have no great inrerest in watches but damn i cant believe the stress and complications these watches go through when they are made and restoring feels like you doing an open heart surgery. Wanted to kill some time and watching this made me almost forgot about time for a bit . Great work

Saw the whole video and wow, I loved it. I'm not in anyway a watch Rolex restoration watching guy but man this had me at the edge of my seat. Nice job

Well done sir!! One question ive always had is how do you know what type of torque to put on the caseback when you screw it back on? Do you just hand tighten it until it wont move anymore? Or is there a scientific way to set the case back tightness

I love the idea of "company refuses yo fix own product, dude on youtube does it himself" I cant imagine the horror when such an expensive piece gets ruined, or the joy she felt when she got to pass it off to you. Another job well done good sir!

Happens every day... Most warranties are 1 year.

@Dan Gerous who mentioned warranty? I know i didnt. Try again?

hahaha.. one of marketing technique?

Wow, I stumbles accross this video. Not into watches but being an engineer appreciated the work you did referring the watch and the patience you need working with tiny pieces. A credit to you

Yes it undermines faith in Rolex.

Sir, i bow down to how you do your work. I'm just an Automotive Engineer but you are super amazing. I had to hold my breath when you put that watch together. Simply amazing.

I could watch this forever. A great restoration!

on this side of youtube, this isn't my normal entertainment genre. But god i really enjoyed watching this video. Especially with someone with 0 knowledge of how these things work. seeing every tiny intricate part having the TLC it needed and so well professionally done made this really enjoyable to watch. thank you WWR. +1 follow.

Awesome work! The only observation is that brass and stainless steel aren't prone to damage from rust since both materials don't rust as steel. In fact all the rust in the movement came from ferrous metal (steel) and was extended through out the parts. Magnificent job and the best is that you really have the conscience to work as an art curator while you make your magic.

Great comment, and I got perplexed when I heard that. Very nice video!

Got fully invested...watched you take apart every single piece and put it back together...what some mastery...I would have paniced myself 😊

Once in a long while, I get a video recommendation that doesn't relate to my usual interests. And I enjoyed this one thoroughly! Your passion to your craft of both repairing watches and making videos about it shines through this entire our of footage. You deserve this traffic you are getting man, awesome work.

This just kept me glued to my screen for the full duration. Really impressive to see all those components and screws and those specialized tools. Thank you for a great video and being so kind to give that whatch a second lease on life.

Didn't realize I'd watch through the entire 52 minutes of this video. The way you narrated through the process was surreal in a sense that it really got me hooked. Subscribed.

Magnificent!! It is astonishing that you and others have these elevated skills. It is mesmerizing to watch. I would send the vid to Rolex and show them what determination and caring can do, where they declined. Very well done, sir 51:42

Have to say I found this video both educational, and hart warming, great content, haven’t seen anything on YouTube even close to this, keep up the good work!👍

Incredible video! I watched the whole thing. It doesn’t matter that you are a professional, this is just outstanding work. And great that you left the hands as they were and did not clean them.

Love your page, I was a classically trained watchmaker (retired nearly 20 years ago) nice to see the trade being carried on, unfortunatly my hands and eyes no longer allow me to enjoy the practice ( its all I can do to to keep my old Rodania divers watch running without destroying it). Restored many classic watches, a couple of Patek Phillipe and Breitlings particularlly come to mind. I hear the jubilation of a successful project in your voice as you place the balance and it goes to full bank. looking forward to seeing more !!

Seems like cap ngl

What a fabulous video and a great way to unwind after a stressful day (no pun intended). I know where to come should I ever drop a Rolex exposed to salt water. Can I ask how much a restoration of this kind would actually cost at today's rates?

great job and patience glad you were able to help the lady out - and restore a vintage watch at the same time. Enjoyed the vid and the entire process.

Never knew there were so many parts inside of a watch. Very intriguing. Also at 36:14 that moment where it comes back to life is really satisfying.
