Is it just me, the parts of this watch when all cleaned up, look absolutely beautiful. The quality in making these parts really shows. I'm completely mesmerized by the fact that all these tiny parts actually tell time once all assembled.
The classic rose gold coloured omega movement is a thing of beauty to behold. So elegant but also so hard wearing and efficient. My “daily beater” is a 1970 constellation with the 564 caliber movement. Tough little machines.
The more I watch these videos. The more I’m able to understand how a watch movement works and where each parts going and in which order. Thank you for making watch repairing relaxing.
Giving that Omega watch to your wife was very loving, and such a beautiful movement! Altogether a very beautiful watch restoration of superb vintage Omega parts. I should imagine the watch is quite expensive now. I love all your videos, such a pleasure. Thank you! Have a sweet weekend, Wendi UK. 🌻
She was 50+ years old and partially melted yet the little thing now ticks to COSC chronometer accuracy thanks to your care and attention, well done, excellent work and great vid.
Although this watch looked rough when you began, I thought the movement was in particularly nice shape and looked very good. This is a very attractive watch, the end result was excellent. Thank you Mark!
First thing I noticed was the dial washer missing!, love these watches Mark. They look like any other watch.... Until you open the back! And there you see extreme craftsmanship and beauty. Great video yet again. Thanks. Adrian ☘️
I can't think of much that is prettier than a vintage Omega movement when it's all cleaned up. Simply stunning. You gave this fine timepiece a new lease on life. Loved the vid!
My entire life doesn't have anything to do with watches, but I really love this videos, I find them so relaxing and inspiring, for me this beautiful mechanical watches are the perfect example of what the human mind is capable of
It's nice to see you using the correct size screwdriver for the ratchet wheel screw, you see so many people on here chewing it up with a screwdriver that's way too small. Nice job.
I really like the way you did that slow motion kind of thing where takes the parts and put them back together. Reminds me of stuff I saw in the seventies as a kid! Thank you!
Absolutely fascinating. I really enjoyed this video for two main reasons. First was the level of skill and dexterity being shown. Second, the watch being worked on looks virtually identical to my 1968 Omega which my parents gave to me on my twenty first birthday. I still have it along with the box and papers and the receipt from Ernest Jones for £49-19-6. The crown on the featured watch looks larger than the one on my watch and the dial might be a slightly different diameter. Last year the mainspring failed, the first time the watch needed a repair after 51 years, a testament to the high quality of Omega watchmaking.
I truly enjoyed the video and the fact that you identify the parts you're working on...I have no idea how they are interconnected but it's still much better than leaving us folks entirely in the dark!
I have an Omega 1965 560 cal. It's similar to this. I had mine serviced a couple years back when I bought it. Sometimes I feel the need to open her up just to see the movement but I can't seem to get the caseback off of mine for anything, lol. I think mine has a loose case latch that kinda gets on my nerves. Great upload. Thanks.
Absolutely wonderful! I can't get enough of your videos. I started watching your content years ago when I was in college. Needless to say, I was quite taken away by the beauty in this type of work - taken away from my homework certainly. Now, interest turn obsession, I'm and slated to go to watchmaking school this fall. I'm looking forward to the career change. Goodbye mgmt, hello tweezers, drivers and loupe.
Every time I watch your videos I am wishing I had your skills! The movement and beautifully made parts have aged well and is a testament to its quality Thanks for the video!
** ERRATA - This watch was from the 1960s rather than 1980s as stated in the video, apologies for any confusion ** There's an Omega watch hiding in that case somewhere :D The glass is pretty crappy and i'm not sure what we shall find with this movement. Join me as I put things right with this classic 1960's Omega Mechanical wristwatch.
So another words depending on the year of the watch the oiling from one to another could be different. I'm waiting on my parts to come in. I order the parts you showed in your video you did about buying parts off of ebay using the 9498 movement only I'm going to strip the movement down and put it back together (I hope) so I can learn. I'm a retired machine and have always love to tinker with things.
Not only you are greatly mastering the art of watch making and repairing, but you are also skillful in the art of video editing. I lesrn a lot from your videos.
Wow, it’s beautiful. Nice little effects here and there, stop motion animation, beautiful mechanics and hands performing accurate movements (more like a dance). ❤️👏
Omega has always been my favorite.. Even over Rolex and Breitling. The detail and finish are on par with the best. I bought my first Pie Pan in the 90's and have never been disappointed.
Wow! Hats off to you, that's a lot of work and a lot of small pieces, just watching makes me nervous. I'd go crazy if I had to remove them and then I'll never be able to put it together again. Great job, looks fantastic!
The omega 500 series movements from the 60’s early 70’s are simply beautiful as well as highly efficient and well engineered. I’m fortunate to own a 1970 constellation with the 564 caliber automatic movement. Some believed the rose gold colour of the movement to be actual gold, but this was just the hardened alloy colour. If any movement deserved a display back like so many latter day watches it was this one.
Beautiful video! I just purchased a vintage ladys De Ville, With the guidance of your amazing video i will give it a try to restore it! Thank you so much for this video! Merry christmas and stay safe
I enjoy watching you disassemble, clean, and assemble watch movements. The higher end movements like Omega and Rolex have a nice finish of the parts. The engine turning is alway more complete and nicer than run of the mill watches.
I can give you a good tip to the video works, if you mind it. When you made a snitt about the parts, the contrast really huge and the dinamic low on this way (many details of the movement parts not visible and the colors are also not too dinamic) Use soft light. If you have a spot light, better to use with a softbox or at least put some paus paper front of the light to diffuse / soften the light. Also in the video settings better to pull down the contrast and the afterwork you can push up this by software for the better result. I really enjoy to watch your videos and my personal favorites are the Omega watches, because of the really nice "rose gold" alloy movements. Keep it up and best regards from Hungary!
One of my most treasured items I have from my late dad is a similar vintage Omega that is in sore need of service. I wish I were in your side of the globe...
As always, I love the parabolic glass of Omega watches. In fact, I have one very old from 1950, but my father decided to change it to a quartz glass to avoid scratches, and honestly i prefer the old one.
Very nice job! I wish I had the skill and patience to do this type of work on my vintage watches and unfortunately the last of the old time watchmakers are disappearing.
Great job, if I had to do do what you do I would starve. You have a gift. Next time it would be great to see the watch with the strap. I think a brown crock strap would dress the watch just fine. Although I recall my Dad’s 1960 ‘s gold Omega with a black suede strap and it was stunning. Best to you.
Very interesting video , i have to admit im 58 and i have never owned a watch , i tell time by looking at clocks in my home or on churches , but if im out where there are no clocks i can tell the time to within ten minutes by the position of the sun in the sky.

A few years ago I have been a watch repairer myself. It was quite a passion for me. Watching your video brought back some memories. Thank you.
The more I watch these videos. The more I’m able to understand how a watch movement works and where each parts going and in which order. Thank you for making watch repairing relaxing.
Every time I watch this guy’s videos I’m in awe of his talent. It must take decades to know your way around watch movements like this.
I love the fact that you created this channel to promote your own business and then find yourself as a really good content maker and a teacher.

I don't understand why people would give this video thumbs down!??
I admire and appreciate your work.👍

That movement is amazing looking, and to think this was made before CNC machinery became the norm. Thanks for sharing. Charles

Thank you exactly what I needed in glorious HD. So relaxing too.
Bravo Sir you're the Bob Ross of the time piece

Wow! Respect! Unbelievable that you can all those little pieces take apart and than reassemble.
Absolutely wonderful! I can't get enough of your videos. I started watching your content years ago when I was in college.

well 2 years later... how did watch making school work out for you?
Every time I watch your videos I am wishing I had your skills! The movement and beautifully made parts have aged well and is a testament to its quality Thanks for the video!
The restoration of old watches is definitely the best format you can bring on the channel. I saw many other repairers produce such videos
** ERRATA - This watch was from the 1960s rather than 1980s as stated in the video, apologies for any confusion **
There's an Omega watch hiding in that case somewhere :D
The glass is pretty crappy and i'm not sure what we shall find with this movement. Join me as I put things right with this classic 1960's Omega Mechanical wristwatch.
Cute little movement, I can't imagine working at that scale.
I'm a little sad the face is a bit roughed up.
Hi,i am from India,are you selling Omega refurbished one, genuine one.please answer?
So another words depending on the year of the watch the oiling from one to another could be different. I'm waiting on my parts to come in. I order the parts you showed in your video you did about buying parts off of ebay using the 9498 movement only I'm going to strip the movement down and put it back together (I hope) so I can learn. I'm a retired machine and have always love to tinker with things.
While it's amazing to watch I just can't see the point of wasting so much time on an old mechanical watch!
Looked quite clean on the strip down considering
The best ASMR videos on YT. Watch repairing/building.
And another remarkable Omega movement! Simple but of great quality!
Not only you are greatly mastering the art of watch making and repairing, but you are also skillful in the art of video editing. I lesrn a lot from your videos.
Makes it look so easy .......anybody out there who’s ever tried this knows just how hard it really is!
Wow, it’s beautiful. Nice little effects here and there, stop motion animation, beautiful mechanics and hands performing accurate movements (more like a dance). ❤️👏
Omega has always been my favorite.. Even over Rolex and Breitling. The detail and finish are on par with the best. I bought my first Pie Pan in the 90's and have never been disappointed.
I am really digging the stop motion
Great that the inside machinations of an older watch are time capsules in themselves. Remarkable work and a remarkable video.
I really appreciate the bits of stop-motion. It adds nice texture. Thanks!
Nice old Omega watch, with a beautiful movement, it turned out great.
Wow! Hats off to you, that's a lot of work and a lot of small pieces, just watching makes me nervous. I'd go crazy if I had to remove them and then I'll never be able to put it together again. Great job, looks fantastic!
Excellent travel, bravo

The 500 movement dates to the 50's.
Dial washer was missing, thanks for your videos.
Very beautiful little movement
Thank you sir , for letting the public share in to this magical world of mechanical watches . It means a lot to me . Erwin , Belgium .
Beautiful video! I just purchased a vintage ladys De Ville, With the guidance of your amazing video i will give it a try to restore it! Thank you so much for this video! Merry christmas and stay safe
I must say, l am impressed. You’ve done a fantastic job. I like restoration jobs and bringing watches back to life. 👍👍👍
I enjoy watching you disassemble, clean, and assemble watch movements. The higher end movements like Omega and Rolex have a nice finish of the parts. The engine turning is alway more complete and nicer than run of the mill watches.
Another video of watch restoration, that was nicely done. Your stop animation was an awesome touch.👍 thank you

One of my most treasured items I have from my late dad is a similar vintage Omega that is in sore need of service. I wish I were in your side of the globe...
Felix, my dad had an Omega as well from the 50s or 60s, looked very much like the one being cleaned
New camera and lighting setup (?), animation as well! Nice results
Beautiful piece. I love the classic Omega watches.
Those older Omega movements are extremely beautiful. Although the watch itself is pretty understated.
Omg man that stop motion of all the parts coming together must have taken forever to do
I love the fifties & sixties omega engines.
I also enjoyed the animation!
Wonderful work Mark...
Thank you.
I am sure your wife will be pleased with that nice little watch. It came out looking and running good.
All Omegas have such pretty movements...
As always, I love the parabolic glass of Omega watches. In fact, I have one very old from 1950, but my father decided to change it to a quartz glass to avoid scratches, and honestly i prefer the old one.
Handsome watch. Love the simplicity... no seconds!
Very nice job! I wish I had the skill and patience to do this type of work on my vintage watches and unfortunately the last of the old time watchmakers are disappearing.
Very beautiful and knowledgeable video and presentation is ofcourse superb. Many thanks. From India
Such a lovely movement on a tiny watch! I have a few omegas and have had the back off, never delved deeper though.
Well done 👍🏼
Great job, if I had to do do what you do I would starve. You have a gift. Next time it would be great to see the watch with the strap. I think a brown crock strap would dress the watch just fine. Although I recall my Dad’s 1960 ‘s gold Omega with a black suede strap and it was stunning. Best to you.
I really appreciate all of your videos. One of the best channels in the watch world.
Please I'm begging, more Vintage Omega's ! Love the content
احييك وارفع لك القبعة على هذه المهنية والحرفية العالية استمتعت جداً بلمشاهدة شكراً لك
Beautiful color of the movement 👌🏾
nicely done, brought a discarded watch back to service, wonderful! Thanks for posting!
I think there’s a giant box of dial washers somewhere in the world. Right next to the giant box of lost socks from the laundry!
AMAZING!!!, I LOVE THE WAY TO REPAIR WATCHES.
These 60s Omega watches are really nice
Great looking movement even before servicing. Nice video 👍
Very nice and fun to watch. I imagine your wife is pleased to get great stuff like this from the parts bin!
Great video! I’d love to see the inside of a ring watch. Maybe one day!
I haven't finished the video yet, but I had to click the thumbs up for the stop motion. That was entertaining to see :)
Love that stop motion arrangement
Nice job and nice video! I’m sure your wife will love it!
That watch is as beautiful inside as it is out...
Very interesting video , i have to admit im 58 and i have never owned a watch , i tell time by looking at clocks in my home or on churches , but if im out where there are no clocks i can tell the time to within ten minutes by the position of the sun in the sky.
Thanks for your videos. I enjoy them all.
The effort that goes into these videos is amazing! I subscribed!
Soooo satisfying. Thanks for you're labour.
Great job and great explanation for the viewer, thank you
😘😘😘😘
Fantastic work. The work of of a Master Craftsman.
A master craftsman at work. Love your videos Mark.
Love the box of Omega “scrappers “
Stop motion was great too , so much work involved in that.
Also want that glass press!!
Nice
Thanks again Mark, that’s given me more incentive to get my 30T2 back together.
Look forward to the next video.
Great photography
Well done Mark!
Like a tiny jigsaw puzzle very talented 😲👍
Awesome Video!🎥
You not only restore a watch but also restore the glory time of Omega in her watch making history
When you popped the back off, I immediately noticed that the bungulator was missing! Unreal!
Anthony Įødīçę: The *_fumigator pin_* was also gone. ☢❌
BRAVO!BRAVO!BRAVO!Precision as in electronics.Starting today I am your new subscriber.
Another excellent video. Looks similar to my late 50s Omega
Excellent tutorial. You have really stepped up the production values on your videos. Keep it up.
Simply a beautiful movement
despite it looked quite beat up the movement itself was in a quite nice shape. I was quite surprised.. :)
Loved the parts animation. Nice touch!
Always impressive how pretty the movements are.
Another great video. Thanks 😊 this watch is similar to one my father wore daily for many years.
Thanks again & stay safe.
This guy is a genius
This is a superior channel, thank you for sharing your knowledge and talent
