Restoration of a vintage german Glashütte Chronometer - GUB Caliber 70.3 service
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 1 ต.ค. 2020
- This time I´m restoring a Glashütte Chronometer from the 60`s.
It´s powered by the GUB 70.3 caliber (chronometer certified).
The watch is in a bad condition: The gold-plating of the case is a bit damaged, the glass is scratched and the movement is not running like a chronometer should.
I need to replace the broken setting-lever screw and the second-wheel because it´s wobbling. After everything is cleaned and polished, I can re-assemble the movement with some fresh oil. After that, this watch is in a awesome beat (+0 to +1 seconds per day) again.
I decided to keep the original gold-plating even if it is damaged a bit. I prefer a vintage-looking original plating then a brand-new looking not-original-plating. What would you prefer? Keep the original-plating or re-plate the case?
I hope you liked this restoration, if so, like, comment and subscribe ;)

No music, no talking, thank you, this is very relaxing and enjoyable
This is a very addictive channel.
I was binge watching his videos
😂😂
Loved the strap
Yes, very addictive 👌🏻
you should watch my mechanics if you like this. that dude does incredible restorations
It is. Fully agree. Just excellent content.
What a great looking timepiece and you did a fantastic job of restoring it to 'new'.
Looks great..and the strap sets it off perfectly...Kudos
I prefer your videos to basically all of the other watch restoration channels. The way your videos are produced is phenomenal. I've watch most of your videos 2-3 times, they're great. Thank you
Did i search for this video? No. Did i watch it? Yes i did. Subscribed !
Grösster Respekt für diese Handwerkskunst.
I'm amazed at how badly I now want to start repairing watches and polishing jewelry. This craft is very addicting.
The quality of the video is exceptional (I have not seen better), the work absolutely perfect, but in the field of watches, I prefer videos with oral commentary.
I'd take that watch over a Rolex.
All my life I have been fascinated by mechanical devices , so much so that in young age I started to learn and finally had a successful business and skills in automotive and engines . Now I see these videos in older age and I say to myself what was I thinking ? I could have simply put my effort and learning instead of a huge , heavy and greasy engines which comes to life after assembly , just learned and studied watch movement and master that . Oh well I will catch it in next life around . By the way thank you for great and satisfying learning videos .
Those vintage Glashutte dials are the best.
What a jet! I’m so impressed. A professional, a craftsman. Brilliant! He just turned manure into jam.
A very professional restoration of the watch.
Experience, patience, a steady hand and professional tools give a spectacular effect.
You are a master in your trade.
I watch your movies with great interest and watching them lowers my pulse.
This is an added value.
Regards, Master 👌👍
Great precision and accuracy, perfect work.Great. 👍👍👍
Wow that dial color is beautiful
Was für eine Schönheit nach der OP.... tolle Arbeit, sehr entspannend für den Zuschauer, macht Lust auf eine weitere Uhr.
Simply his work is spectacular.
I really appreciate that you kept the case original, just slightly polishing it. I like to say, every scratch has a story. The 2.8 ms beat error was disappointing though. Hair spring work can be very tricky though, I wouldn’t have tried to fix that either.
Its what they say: Perfect is the enemy of the good. 😀
This is my favorite TH-cam channel
Such a beauty watch. Did not have disturbing big size like today's watches. Nice video that you worked hard to prepare and take time. I would love to see the restoration of the WW2 hamilton field watch.
Wow that thing is CLEAN. Beautiful.
Love the video, love the format. Thanks for not dropping in music. The sounds of the work is the true music.
We need to recognize the excellence of this Job. Congratulations.
Great video for us, the real watch lovers. Great job. 👍🏼👏🏻
Very impressive video and a really beautiful watch. In my oppinion your decission to keep the goldplating as worn as it was and only slightly polish it was right. My 1963 Dugena Super Automatic with a microrotor-movement was regularily revised but never was the goldplating renewed. So the watch has his wellworn look and lots of character. I like your work of art very much. Thank you.
Герой нашего времени. Превосходная работа!👍
Привет от Доктора Дью!
You are one of the best watch restoration I ever see
There was a beautiful watch underneath all that gunk. Really nice dial.
Wow, fine work!
These (East) German Watches cost a whole monthly wage of a GDR fabric worker in the 60s.
My grandfather had one.
That make's it a grandfather clock 😂
I'm sorry man, i had to make it
hatten auch die selbe wie wahrscheinlich jeder 10. Ossi ... irgendwann ist die im Nirwana verschwunden 🙂
This made my Friday. You're an artist dude, I hope people realise the time and effort that went into this video, the editing alone must have taken days.. 👍
precision work and good job done...
Microsurgery at its finest 👍🏾
Fantastic work 👌🏾
What a fabulous restoration: that dial is just beautiful.
That is one of the most beautiful watches I have ever seen! That dial! Lovely simple non automatic piece. Fab!
Just- awesome Restauration. Good, that you left the case with it’s charme it got in all the years 👍👍👍
German products are the best, the interior is still new even though it's been a long time .. very meticulous work👍🏻
I have to say, I really enjoy your channel and very impressed with your skills. I love watching you work. But also, I love the way you edit so that we see all the steps but you speed up anything we don’t need to see. Great work!!!
Such beautiful work!!
True craftsmanship and art right there
Appreciate your work 😍❤️
A very professional restoration of the watch.
Oh my... when you replaced the wobbly wheel and made the new one spin. Oh my. I'm into that.
My grandpa's old Leonidas chrono CP1 really needs a treatment like this!
this has been one of my favorites of yours, gorgeous watch.
I inherited a mechanical GUB and Glashütte Spezimatic from my grandfather.
Thank you for releasing this video on this very special date 👍
I've watched quite a few of these videos and each one is as hypnotizing as the other. As someone with a less than lengthy attention span and also plagued with OCD, you manage to keep my attention and relax me simultaneously.
Just astonishing as always ! A truly beautiful watch!
The sound of the clicks is better than any music! Your videos are hypnotizing, man! You do an awesome job. Congratulations.
Incredible watch!
great work, I was 2 years old when this watch came to be, I prefer the original gold plating , scars give it some character :)
Thank you very much for posting, very inspirational, i have spent the past few years repairing quartz watches, I now work for myself once again, can't wait to get some vintage under my hands once again
Dusty

Eine wirklich unfassbar schöne Uhr! Bauhausstil? Genau mein Ding!

Beautiful restoration of a gorgeous watch, well done mate
Wow!! You are a doctor. Are you a scientist? 👍👍👍
No I'm not a scientist 😉
This is the only watchmaker youtuber that I've seen a video at a normal speed, not speed up
beautiful job, i have never held my breath as much as when you were manipulating those tiny components. So nice to see it restored properly whilst retaining the patina of use and age
I enjoy the time, the effort, the passion, that you put in repairing those watches. Specially how beautiful it ends hearing those clic.
Which "clicks" do you mean ??
What "clicks" is it about ??
@@marianstoica1968 the sounds of opening the watch and its parts and putting them back in
@@marianstoica1968 the sound that produce the watch when its totally repair and alive.
@@ellenphilpotts-troy2098 Ellen, When you said "click" sound, I thought you meant the sound that is heard at this interval in this video 14:24 - 14:27!

I Love time pieces with history and this is one of those what an impeccable workmanship returning it to it’s former glory.
Your videos give me hope that one can always fix their life. And as usual, amazing workmanship.
I am keeping my father watch, it might be 40 years old, still working but needs a restoration, after this video defenitely will do it.
You won't regret it.
This video is immensely relaxing! I've been wanting to watch a video like this for a while now. Amazing job on shooting and editing as well! 😎
Un vrai maître artisan en horlogerie,il mérite tout mon respect parce que c'est une personne qui a beaucoup dans sa jugeote.
That’s one nice looking watch!
Spectacular, as usual!!!! Bravo!!!
Beautiful work again. For me, these videos are excellent relaxation. Thank you :-)
Just wow. What a great work. Beautiful Watch - Made in GDR 😍

I love watching these videos. I had no clue how many parts went into watches, amazing to see your work. This is a masterpiece, I love it.
Beautiful watch and an excellent restore.
True master at work.
That is a really beautiful looking watch. There is something about that this champagne coloured type of understated face that I find so appealing. Superb work here, as usual.
Awesome 👏 job really!
First of all you have to be patient and to get passion! Bravo 🙌
🔥👊👍Wunderschön 👍👊🔥,ich bin aus der ex DDR und trage bis heute nur meine alte"Glashütte"aus 1968!👍👉💯👈👍Danke für's Hochladen.👉💐👈
Beautiful ! ...and brilliantly well done.
Fantastic work and beautiful watch, it deserved to be rescued.
My father owns exactly the same watch. Nice work!
It's amazing the difference a new crystal can make. You do such great work, it's a shame that you don't take any outside work.
It was only polished using Polywatch! Amazing stuff👍🏼
Veramente affascinante.Grande professionalita'!!!!
Quite fascinating Captain.
Wow, that dial is in a very good edition for its age
I have an old Rolex watch for sale
Beautiful to watch and admire...would love to have seen it on the TG after you had fixed the beat error, or even seen how you did so. Congrats & Thanks
I definitely love what you do. So relaxing too. Thanks for sharing 😊
You have arguably the best job in the world
It's just a hobby not a job... Unfortunately 😁
