I've been a long fan of this modell, Certina DS-2. So I tried my luck and bought one in an auction. The watch was heavily worn but I saw that it had a beautiful dial under the cracked glass. The watch was a joy to work on, Certinas from 1970 is built like a tank, solid thick metall and robust parts. In the end after all work I think this watch turned out very good, movement is in a good condition also. Ready for new action :D
Good job overall, but why did you take the new mainspring out of the holder ring just to wind it up again? You know you can just push them directly into the Barrel from that ring?
@@chrvgts528 yeah I noticed that as well, usually you can just pop it in from the ring. If it was an older type of spring, I'd add some hp-1300 preferably dragged out on the whole spring but here I'd just put 4 spots evenly and let it soak down in the spaces.. But a new spring has a coating, don't need lube.
I've been a watch collector since I was 15. Without words or music, this video tells why. I was a "how does it work" curious boy growing up, taking apart trashed small appliances to understand the mechanics. At about 8 or 9, I could completely disassemble and reassemble my bike, then a lawnmower. Before I could drive, I made money in the summer repairing lawnmowers. In the 7th grade, I had wood & metal shop. Starting with my first, I worked on my own cars. Years later, this is why I love and collect watches. These tiny brilliant machines are like trophies to men who laid under a car and got dirty, oily, and knuckle busted. And when we dress, our fine watch tells the story. Thank you for this video.
I am in awe of someone who takes a piece of junk and makes it like new. I’m also in awe of someone who can take apart the tiniest machine on the planet, repair it, then put it back together. You did a great job in getting the dents and dings out of the case. Great video!
@@Watcheyes wow just wow! Amazing literally genius at work well done sir! Can you help me with a watch my dad left me.. very similar to what you have done in this video, yet mo one at all can fix it.. im in england and would love your help to restore it.. my dad died 31.12.1996 and so to have it working and to wear it would be a dream for me.. please please can you help me with it????
So today I discovered that watching old watches being restored is one of the most interesting yet relaxing things ever. Liked and subscribed. Please continue.
these plain watches without complications are all built on the same principle, after having worked on a couple of them you just know what every part does. the real fun starts when you take your first chronograph movement apart - it's like three times as many parts, and every movement does it differently :)
I'm not even to watch person and I just spent a half hour of my life watching this video. And I have absolutely no regrets it was extremely fascinating, great restoration.
Not sure why I just watched this but it was incredible to see. The engineering that went into this watch 50 years ago was incredible. Awesome you knew how to work on it so well.
@@Watcheyes This is what I came here to post. I was very into watches before getting into photography, but have never consumed any watch-related content on TH-cam. I'm not sure why the algorithm showed this to me, but I'm glad I did. Now I will need to watch your backlog! Gorgeous imagery and the DS-2 has been underrated IMO.
This shows that one does not need every expensive tool of the watch service industry to do professional work. Great result! I was in awe as to how beautiful this watch turned out!
'Tools maketh the man'. How do you know that he did not use top line tools. This is a top line watch from '70. I own one from that era and know watch makers also who own the best available sets of tools. Watchmakers do rely on these. Oils aint oils (and) not all tools are same quality.
When I first saw this video, I took a look at how long the video was, and I was like "pfft, I'm probably just going to skim through it real quick" But the more I watched, the harder it became for me to move. I don't think anybody can see something like this and not have a huge amount of respect for watchmakers that do everything by hand. Not many people understand and appreciate the work that goes into making watches. You can't help but be in awe. Beautiful work.
Your video was a pleasure to watch. Your attention to detail, especially hand washing all of the movement parts is admirable. Thank you very much for sharing . You brought back to life a beautiful 70’s vintage watch 👏.
@@ciupenhauer ohh, good question, I don't really remember but maybe a Seiko samurai and my other project, the Citizen which can be seen on my channel :)
I really liked this restoration. A fine balance with not removing a lot of case material during brushing and polishing, yet enough to allow for an impressive final finish.
What a master craftsman you are, I am in awe. I have rescued animals, domestic and wild and fixed broken wings, gashes, bad health, trauma, babies, and now I fix sewing machines and restore furniture. I am always fixing things. I love to know how things work. Watches are a specialist job and a labor of love. So beautiful to share your knowledge and how these mechanical masterpieces of engineering work and the purpose of the jewels. I read that the modern sapphires and rubies are synthetic, and being harder than metal, work well as bearings which won't wear down with friction, nor produce heat. The modern sapphire crystal glass is also harder than glass and made from aluminum oxide and heat treatment. The higher cost comes from pricey tools needed to cut such a hard material and polish it. The old watches had real gems. So a 17 jewel Swiss watch was a luxury item. In my childhood, young adults inherited a grandparent's watch, and it was a huge gift.
The patience and precision of your disassembly of the watch is amazing, then you see those tiny components, the skill in machining and making of those components to what must be very, fine tolerance levels is a engineering skill that only a select few could ever achieve......
It is unbelievable that inside the watch there is a whole system from many smaller or bigger parts that work armonically together....but the most fascinating thing is the beating 💓 you see in the mechanism which reminds me the human heart... giving life to this mechanism..... simply beautiful!!!!
Amazing to watch you work and see all the equipment that you use, I remember my father fixing watches back in the 1960s, he did it as a hobby with very little equipment, most of the things he used he had made himself, he used lighter fuel for cleaning parts and metal polish to clean the glass he also used nail varnish as a thread seal, he would sit for hours fixing them for friends and relatives and enjoying every minute of it, he had a table with a white cloth on it that nobody was allowed to touch and he would lay out all the parts and replace them in reverse order your video invoked such happy memories Thank you for posting this.
I’m always amazed at the precision involved in watch repair and restoration. This is my first time watching one of your videos. I appreciate your humor, and also enjoy simply watching you work with no added talking or music. Will definitely come back for more!
Me has transportado a mis tiempos de relojero. He recordado cada detalle como si fuera ayer, y eso que ya hace 25 años que dejé el oficio. Lindo y emotivo vídeo. Enhorabuena.
Respect for your patience, expertise and craftsmanship at all levels from the precision movement to the case. You took time and care to do the job right.
Thank you for another instructing and interesting restoring video. The before and after shows the effort and dedication you put in into it! Very nice indeed.
That watch looks so simple from the outside, but so complicated from the inside. How u managed to take it apart and put it back together is a feat of mastery.
My journey into collecting time peices began with taking apart my first Longines which was given to me on confirmation. It did not go well so my frustration ended with a hammer, I never tried to fix it a watch again. But my fascination watching experts has only grown. Thank you for another wonderful video.
you’re the best watchmaker I’ve ever seen until now onto youtube indeed! In every moment you use the correct device, plastic, wood or brass tweezers, the correct screwdrivers, and you avoid ALWAYS TO LEAVE SOME SIGNS onto the watch. Great Maestro!
try Nekkid Watchmaker, he is unbelievable, this guy here is actually top notch too. WristwatchRevival is not bad, but this guy and Nekkid are something else.
@@fulvioplatania3091 he is one of very few that do actual repairs of pieces that seem to be beyond point of return. I highly appreciate his mini lathe skills and dedication. Clean ups alone are just not enough for me, but that is matter of preference. What amazes me the most is micro machining and precision fitting. And there is the commentary too :) have a good day.
What a restoration and the result was beautiful. On the other hand the description written everything was so professional. Keep up the good work Buddy.
the technical aspect aside. watching it is like ZEN for me. its not less than a Poem to see it gets a new soul. its literally poetic to see the result and inevitably dive into the concept of time, life and death. watch is one of the greatest symbols of our lives. after that it use as a tool to measure change in life TOO. thank you for these beautiful videos. love and much respect to you man. 🙂❤🙏🍻
I immediately recognized the watch. Used to have one throughout my childhood till my early teens. Truly it was a tank. My uncle was the agent. Brought back good memories.
Excellent video, love the format of silence and some subtitles, instead of the very distracting and endless verbal descriptions of other channels, subscribed!
This is the first video I have seen from your channel. I was completely awestruck with your skill, precision, and craftmanship. Your videography and presentation is very engaging as well 👍

This is why we like automatic watches, a tiny mechanical beating heart inside it, that is so romantic. What a beautiful video. I've always said: now I treat cancer, but in my next life I will be a watchmaker. This video explains it why.
I'm extremely pleased with your fine workmanship of this lovely Certina DS-2, restoring the timepiece to its original beauty. A month ago my teenage watchmaker daughter restored an identical Certina model, making me proud of her skill and meticulous care. She used to have severe OCD, but the organized way of watch restoration has helped her enormously. She watched this video with glee, remarking on your wonderful restoration of which she thanks you. As do I. Wishing you all the best, with thanks from Wendi and daughter Billie, UK 🌻🌻
He just kept leveling up! At first I was like this guy and his back yard hobbies but he kept bringing out better and better shit and more and more pieces. I watched every second completely mesmerized. Wife: "what are you doing"? Me: " watching someone fix a watch" Wife: "....of course you are" That was amazing. I want to buy that watch
Hey, thank you so much for this video. I only skipped though some videos in here and wanted to stay a few seconds to see what you're doing in this video. To see, how amazing this watch looks like after your make over. I enjoyed watching your work. I'm repairing Smartphones but on this I'll never have a try. Amazing. It's so mind-blowing how these tiny parts fit together and work perfect after such a long time. If everything would be build witch that much love and perfection. As I said, thank you for your video, keep on doing this. See you at the next one.
Absolutely amazing! was in awe just watching this beautiful time piece come to life. The skill it takes, to basically disect the entire watch and put it all back together, all those tiny screws and gears knowing where they all fit in, i headache just trying to figure how you effortlessly put them all back again it was like a math problem being solved and you still wondering how the solution was found 😄, it was like putting back together a classic vintage car with all the original parts, just awesome skills. 😃
Utterly mesmerising work carried out with surgical precision. The finale reveals a watch which is akin to a new heart pulsating perfectly in the hands of its master craftsman.
Many thanks Mark, glad you liked it. In the macros it wobble a little bit but I regarded this as nothing to worry about, you have a good eye on details :). Maybe I should have checked its true on a poising tool.
That was just awesome and the best part was the hand polishing on the case. I also like the simple cleaning technique with naptha and alcohol as I have a small bench and not a lot of room for a cleaning machine. I was curious why the mainspring could not be pushed into the barrel directly from the shipping washer? I learned a lot from your vid! Thanks for sharing! I subscribed!
Glad you like my work C Perez, yes it's easy and it takes no space, sure a little bit more time but you learn and you get a close look of everything. Barrel is size 10.5 mm but also the package so couldn't push right in.
I loved watching your exemplary work on that beautiful watch. I could watch it 100 times over and still wouldn't have the confidence to be able to put it all back in the right way but watching your work was an art form. Keep it up and do you ever sell any of the watches which you repair?
I've watched quite few various watch resto vids. I've taken a few apart and put them back together again. First I've seen that I can recall someone adjust the lever above the hair spring. I like the oiling part you went right through it a lot of people stop and talk about the grease and the various wights of oil in the right places but you went right through which was good. It was pretty self explanatory. Thanks! I learned quite a bit.
AMAZING!!! The elevl of precision, care, patients. Its kind of memorizing, My grandson was watching this and I said perhaps someday you might find this is what you want to do. He said are you kidding. That looks so hard.
C'est la première fois que je vois un horloger-bijoutier effectuer une réparation et restauration d'une montre. C'est spectaculaire ! J'aurais du garder ma montre LIP dans les années 70 pour vous l'envoyer en réparation.
В такие минуты я чувствую величие Творца и человека, как образ и подобие Его!❤️ Как же были сделаны каждая деталька от этого удивление возрастает в сто раз!

Amazing - but can’t believe you didn’t exert a little more to get the greasy marks off the dial…

Been collecting Certina since I was 20. Now 13 years later I have 9 of them. Best decisions I ever made 🐢

Many thanks Carl 😊 🙏
absolutely ! it was a pleasure to watch !
This is pretty next level restoration. I'm equally as fascinated by the products used to help fix the watch as I am the watch itself.
Ditto. The equipment used and the sandpaper grit, polishes used in each stage. Thanks for your kind willingness to share. Robert
How can someone remember how to put it back together? This is insane, and very meticulous. Give a definite like for that effort
Making a video helps !

He used a lot of very expensive tools so I don't understand your comment.
'Tools maketh the man'.
How do you know that he did not use top line tools. This is a top line watch from '70.
I own one from that era and know watch makers also who own the best available sets of tools.

Many thanks, Indeed, Certinas are great, built with great quality ;) Have a great day!
He just kept leveling up! At first I was like this guy and his back yard hobbies but he kept bringing out better and better shit and more and more pieces. I watched every second completely mesmerized.
Wife: "what are you doing"?
Me: " watching someone fix a watch"
Wife: "....of course you are"
That was amazing. I want to buy that watch
The precision involved here is insane. I'm definitely hitting the like and subscribe button.
Many thanks :)
WOW, You took a watch most people would call garbage because of condition and turned it into a Jewel. Way to go!!
Bellissimo bellissimo bellissimo video GRANDE bravo
Hey, thank you so much for this video. I only skipped though some videos in here and wanted to stay a few seconds to see what you're doing in this video.
To see, how amazing this watch looks like after your make over. I enjoyed watching your work. I'm repairing Smartphones but on this I'll never have a try. Amazing. It's so mind-blowing how these tiny parts fit together and work perfect after such a long time. If everything would be build witch that much love and perfection.
As I said, thank you for your video, keep on doing this. See you at the next one.
Glad to see such a kind comment Daniel, many thanks for that. Hope to see you on next one also, I'll do my best :)
Amen.
Absolutely amazing! was in awe just watching this beautiful time piece come to life. The skill it takes, to basically disect the entire watch and put it all back together, all those tiny screws and gears knowing where they all fit in, i headache just trying to figure how you effortlessly put them all back again it was like a math problem being solved and you still wondering how the solution was found 😄, it was like putting back together a classic vintage car with all the original parts, just awesome skills. 😃
Not taking taking anything away, i was hoping to see the finished restoration with a leather strap on it, but still looks good 👍😊
Great video, great result. Don't care much for the sound effects. The quality of your work doesn't need them. Keep it up !
Many thanks George :)
I started holding my breath as you put the cleaned components back together! This is so cool!
Utterly mesmerising work carried out with surgical precision. The finale reveals a watch which is akin to a new heart pulsating perfectly in the hands of its master craftsman.
That polish job on the case was quite the accomplishment! Is the balance wheel bent, however? It looked out of true.
Many thanks Mark, glad you liked it. In the macros it wobble a little bit but I regarded this as nothing to worry about, you have a good eye on details :). Maybe I should have checked its true on a poising tool.
That was just awesome and the best part was the hand polishing on the case. I also like the simple cleaning technique with naptha and alcohol as I have a small bench and not a lot of room for a cleaning machine. I was curious why the mainspring could not be pushed into the barrel directly from the shipping washer? I learned a lot from your vid! Thanks for sharing! I subscribed!
Glad you like my work C Perez, yes it's easy and it takes no space, sure a little bit more time but you learn and you get a close look of everything. Barrel is size 10.5 mm but also the package so couldn't push right in.
I loved watching your exemplary work on that beautiful watch. I could watch it 100 times over and still wouldn't have the confidence to be able to put it all back in the right way but watching your work was an art form. Keep it up and do you ever sell any of the watches which you repair?
Beautifully done and brilliantly filmed. Those high magnification shots were superb
Thank you for WATCHing!
;) thanks for commenting!
Amazing transformation to reclaim something with underlying beauty. Excellent skill set. Thanks for sharing.
❤ Better than a surgeon!
Stunning restoration of genuine retro beauty!
I have never been disappointed since I became a customer of MAMACOO . Their watches are of exceptional quality.
Whoever designed this really valued time.
Wow, the amount of moving parts its incredibly and the skills necessary to restore it are on another level.
😊
I've watched quite few various watch resto vids. I've taken a few apart and put them back together again. First I've seen that I can recall someone adjust the lever above the hair spring. I like the oiling part you went right through it a lot of people stop and talk about the grease and the various wights of oil in the right places but you went right through which was good. It was pretty self explanatory. Thanks! I learned quite a bit.
This was one of the most elaborate watch restoration of all time. Crazy man!! 🔥🔥
The things we take for granted. Its incredible what ppl were able to invent.
AMAZING!!! The elevl of precision, care, patients. Its kind of memorizing, My grandson was watching this and I said perhaps someday you might find this is what you want to do. He said are you kidding. That looks so hard.
If the practice he will make it very easy :)
wonderful to see the old watch brought back to life
C'est la première fois que je vois un horloger-bijoutier effectuer une réparation et restauration d'une montre. C'est spectaculaire ! J'aurais du garder ma montre LIP dans les années 70 pour vous l'envoyer en réparation.
命を吹き込んだ素晴らしい仕上がり。ムーブメントも綺麗で良い時計ですね。仕事も丁寧で素晴らしい時計技師でした。
His heart beats, it’s heart beats. Beautiful synchronicity.
very nice video. I am the happy owner of one of the very first Certina DS without the turtle on the back. These vintage Certinas are fantastic watches
Thank you Jens, wow that is a nice watch, I really like DS and DS-2, great watches.
В такие минуты я чувствую величие Творца и человека, как образ и подобие Его!❤️ Как же были сделаны каждая деталька от этого удивление возрастает в сто раз!
Beautiful antique watch, great work!!
Thanks!
Many thanks Harry, that was very kind of you! Have a great day!
very nice restoration. I really liked
And now I wish I'd been a watch engineer. The best thing I've watched ;) on TH-cam in months.
That was very kind of you, many thanks 😊
Thank you for allowing us to share this pleasure
