$500 to rebuild it ????

QUESTION: is there a video of one of the old factory original maker / machunist builders i can watch ( no pun ) ?

At the end when you were putting the back-plate back on, it looks like you forgot to put the rubber seal back in.

No, I wouldn't use the rusted disintegrating dial, because the rust and eroded material might be holding more moisture that could seep into the watch and ruin it again. Especially if it has aluminium in it, the erosion would spread regardless of moisture or no moisture.

Holy crap, that thing is in TERRIBLE condition.

I wish you didn’t talk so much

Why does it sound like you’re about to burp or drool all the time?

did it again.

I always wondered, how do you know which screw is which when you put it back on?? I'm lost after the first couple of screw removals lol

Do they make clear watch case backs? that would be cool!

Nice

God bless you for bringing it back to life…

It’s just fascinating watching this, it’s like a complicated operation, all the special tools and equipment is very interesting, great content 🔥🔥👌🏽

Beautiful restoration, love it. Interestingly, when you trimmed the stem, it completely disappeared, curious if that took a few tries or if its movie magic haha.

I have enjoyed your videos of and on for several years, mainly because of your enthusiasm and the way you explain what you're doing. Anyway, i recently sold my Rolex after 30+ years and I'm in the market for an interesting, reliable, automatic watch, preferably something more interesting than expensive. Do you ever sell any of the watches you repair? Thanks. Jerry

My ex-wife has a 1970's "Seiko" ladies ' bead bracelet' (manual wind) watch. Each bead in the bracelet measures only 7mm dia. Into one of these 'beads' is inserted a tiny (7 jewels) Seiko Movement. only 50% (or less) the size of the Rolex you've just worked on - this would truly test your mettle. It still works & keeps reasonably good time, although it has never been serviced.

i dont no how this channel has almost a million subs, but its nice to no im not the only weirdo that just spent an hour watching a watch

Definitely agree the deep colors of the bezel look so much better than a new one today

I bet client is learning some new cuss words right about now

The gol is to keep the watch in good working conditions for keeping time replaces the spring

Beautiful watch.. and great video too. Thanks for the content

I play magic for a long time, and this is a voice i can recognize in my sleep. Amazing Video, really nice restoration. :)

I wonder if you couldn’t have replaced that movement with a better one. Would that have been possible?

Quit sucking spit So annoying

A beautiful watch!

I have a couple old watches. Is there like a web site to try and determine if they are worth anything/worth repairing?

Marshalll. As long as it makes you smile, you're doing the right thing. Thank you!

Next step: Neurosurgerie

O.K The dial has remained dirty...the indicators the same dirtyness....the surface of dial the same also....Not satisfying quality of rertoration

That was totally enjoyable!!!!! Thank you for a pleasant 33:33 minutes. I wish could always be like this!!!!

Wonderful video, respect to you Sir. So much passion for your craft.. 👍😎💭💜⌚

I'm surprised somethin g so delicate doesn't have a specific torque measurement for the screw tension

Marshall! Wow, sir! I can't believe you managed to fix that watch! LOL! No way, would I have the stability with my nerves to work on those microscopic parts! LOL! Nice work sir!

If the chemical makeup of the bezel dirt was analyzed, I wonder what proportion of nicotine, bourbon and Aqua Velva it would be?

If there is another comet impact which seriously hurts humanity things as well engineered will become folk law x

I watch tons of your videos. I can see you was very excited about this particular watch. You was well quick x

This channel is fascinating I just subscribed. I want to get rid of my Apple Watch now 😂. But I can’t afford a high end watch.

amazing that this watch can still be repaired after Rolex say they cant do the repair themself =))

Didn't an omega break and they had to use their trusty bulova? Another brand that won't let you forget lol

RU-vid sucks these days. They are hammering people with ads.

Marshall, I’ve been watching your videos for a few years as something relaxing to watch, I always love watching people make something regardless of what it is, I love learning how mechanical things work but I never really considered getting into the hobby until fairly recently, And when I say the hobby mean more so the watch collecting building/modding. And the reason I’m sending you this message.(and since this is an old video, I don’t know if you’ll read it) is that I’ve started watching a bunch of other watch related videos and content creators and honestly I keep coming back to you and your videos. I think you are the best at doing what you do. I really love the conversation you have with the viewer the relationship as it were, I find myself getting as excited as you do when you succeeded at some thing especially at some thing that maybe you have never done before and you seem so proud of yourself, On this one, I actually started clapping when you made the decision to disassemble the whole whole thing and send it back to the viewer so that he could have the enjoyment and fulfilment of achieving what you just did. I applaud you for doing that. Bloody fantastic. Your videos are a calming influence on me. Keep doing what you’re doing! Long time viewer first time caller.

Do you have to go back and watch your own videos to figure out how to put these things back together?

amazing
