ASMR Restoration of a broken japanese diving watch - Citizen Promaster automatic NY0040

- This time I´m restoring a Citizen Promaster automatic.
It´s a japanese diving watch, waterproof up to 200 metres and powered by the citizen 8203A caliber.
The watch is in a bad condition: The stainless-steel-case is damaged, the glass is not original, glass and bezel are scratched and the movement is not running. As I try to wind-up the movement it winds-down immediately. Seems like an issue on the escapement-wheel.
A tooth and the pivot of the escapement-wheel is broken, i need to replace it. As well as the glass, the glass-gasket, the click-spring, the movement spacer and the bezel. After everything is cleaned, sanded and polished I can restore the brushed surface of the case and re-assemble the movement with some fresh oil. After that, this watch is in an awesome beat (+4 seconds per day) again.
I hope you liked this restoration, if so, like, comment and subscribe ;)

RESPECT 👏
Not mad respect?
baldylocks6... You may have been bitten by the watch bug. Question is, how deep did the venom go?
Didnt see any movement repair, only aseemblying ans disamssemblying
@@julioramossilva3968 on movements like this, it's a waste of time and money to repair individual damaged components, better to just replace it completely. I understand if that is the point of a restoration channel though.
Fantastic. My favourite watch restoration channel. No shallow talk, no annoying music, just craftsmanship and passion in HD.
and ASMR
For real
@@yuckyskunk2021 Wah wah wah is all I’m reading. Imagine not having TH-cam Vanced?
@@yuckyskunk2021 Jesus that was hard to read word shortcuts are awful.
Absolutely
This randomly appeared in my feed, but I watched the entire video in awe! I love how you gave new life to this Citizen, it would have been easier to just purchase a new one but you put hours of work and love into this overhaul. Absolutely incredible attention to detail and talent!
I am just amazed by the intricasy of the skill required to do this. I cant watch TV shows and movies anymore. These types of videos and documentaries are where its at. Amazing stuff to watch.
10:32 Very cool. Watchmaking is a complicated, learned skill. And so is creating videos with clever editing. Thanks for sharing your time and talents. Such a pleasure and education. 👍🏼
This is why I love wearing a nice traditional analogue watch. So much workmanship goes into them making it worth every cent you pay. Beautiful job btw.
My man has every single tool known to man.
Well, they do a lot of watch restoration, so....
Except the one for the spring barrel disassembly/assembly.
he’s like that guy from toy story
@@jaidoua1 lol
@@jaidoua1 the most satisfying scene in movie history
I'm a simple man. When I see a new video from Red Dead Restoration I 'like' the video first and then I watch it. Liking it first guarantees I won't forget to do it and I know I'm going like it. There is something soothing about watching a professional work. Keep doing what you're doing. Your videos are always a bright spot in my day.
Thanks mate
I appreciate that 😊
Same here captain
Of all the watch restoration you are the best.
OMG this video was great, I had no idea how this restauration was done by professionals. This tells me there is still hope for my 32 year old Citizen Aqualand Promaster diving watch.
Citizen...for me personally the best watch brand in the world...
As a owner of this Citizen model I will say impressive job. This watch quickly become ny favourite watch. Accuracy of +/- 3 sec is just impressive.
I know it would never be realistic to put this type of work into a watch you can get for $220, (you could just put the whole watch on the flux capacitor) but it is gratifying to see a real tool watch being brought back to life through unbelievable craftsmanship. I think the video affects me so deeply because it's about renewing something that few would see as worth attempting to renew and having a great victory in the renewal.
I don't even have words to describe how hard this guy did. Congratulations!!
I am wearing the exact same watch and I now have even more respect for it. I’ll have it on my wrist till the second I die, after which my sons will have to fight for it! And on that happy note, thank you for a fascinating presentation! And I’m not really even Asperger’s, but sufficiently so to have personally adjusted my same Citizen to run at 0.4 seconds slow - in 24hrs - for the past six years! So hacking ain’t a problem; I just bring it to a stop once a month to set accurately 🤪🇬🇧 PS: that’s four times more accurate than a Rolex Submariner, and even more so for the Omega Seamaster! And a damn sighr better than COSC chronometer criteria!
It's fascinating to watch a professional reassemble a repaired watch.
That watch looked like it was put through hell. Yet, it didn't show any signs that water made it through to the mechanism. It was bone dry. That says something about the quality of the watch. Glad I own one. It keeps very accurate time.
A Citizen Pro-master is the best watch for the money. This proves it. Good job Red Dead.
Emjay..right with you on that one. My boyfriend bought a Citizen Divemaster in 1991. Still works perfectly.
please don't ever stop making these great dedicated craftsmanship videos! salute.
I had one of these, wore it on 2 Afghanistan tours and it never let me down. I gave it away as a gift to a fellow Soldier. What a superb watch.
no music, just natural sounds of tools, I like it.
Kudos for the balls when testing the waterproofness of the watch with the movement fully mounted inside.
why i love to watch your videos.
1. i'm a huge fan of watches
2. i like asmr
your channel is the best
As a citizen diver watch collector I found this video quite fascinating and relaxing. I would absolutely have him work on my watches.. The tools are there the precision is there and of course the Passion along with care. very well done.
I love this video. This Citizen is one of my favorite divers and it was fascinating to see it taken apart. Thanks.
Wow. Blown away. Watch Craftsmen really are the pinnacle of craftsmanship. Bravo👏
I have one of these. My dad gave it to me back in the 90's and he'd had it for quite a long time. Can't seem to kill it.
This was so satisfying to watch. In our throwaway society it is so neat to see the skill, dedication, and yes, tools, to make broken things new again. I would be proud to wear a piece like that, knowing it had been salvaged from the junk pile.
Damn... How many years of practice is required in order not to get lost in all those tiny details. Insanely cool.
As a Citizen fanboy with sentimental vintage divers and chronos I appreciate and understand the love. Ferrari or Ford I'm sure you love the spectrum too
Unbelievable skill - I took one look at all the parts laid out and thought if that was me, I’d be off to buy a new one - no way I could remember where they all fitted together. Respect for your craft Sir👍
Respect to ur craftsmanship and patience.
I've just bought my third one. One got stolen one I've had for 15 years and I bought another in case they stop making them.
Perfect! but i dont care
@@wilmarkcui2335 damn, why you so rude?
@@milku2481 Thats what you think so be it.
@@wilmarkcui2335 you were never required to respond. By letting your opinion be known that you don't care, you're displaying rudeness to certain people. That's just the way it is
@@taeseer6492 thats what i like you don't care also.
This dude has got some special talent, watch repair is hard and crazy difficult,
You revived a beautiful tool watch. Outstanding work.
Awesome job, from broken to as new from the assembly line! The metalwork is outstanding... What a fantastic watch it turn out to be in the end.
The amount of right tools for the job is astounding
Finally, a Citizen watch restoration, how tasty.
I worked for Citizen back in the 90s as a sales rep, just as they were starting to get a name. Dive watches put them on the map.
I walked into a jewelry store one day, introduced myself and said I am from Citizen Watch Co.......the owner thought I was with some sort of neighborhood watch program. He had yet to hear about the watch co. Good times.
Hilarious 😂
Citizen Diver’s other than Casio G shock’s are the real Frogman’s watch
Hey, I just bought a model of the same era as the watch in this video... I would like to know if it has radioactive lume?
This is anxiety inducing for me lol. I can disassemble and reassemble a diesel engine but a watch? Oh screw that!
Man i felt the same way. I envisioned myself growing frustrated when losing a part and finally throwing the damn thing away in the garbage!!!!
Amazing! So satisfying to watch this watch get restored to its former glory.
It’s also so relaxing to watch this! Thank you 🙏🏼
Anyone having a stressful day should watch this video.
Soothing
Can't imagine the kind of hell that poor Citizen went through
I don't too.....
Time can be hell
I can 😀
Nuclear accident 😱😱
It took a licking
@@ssenssel ..
When he busts out that microscope is when you know you cant enter this hobby
Or the fact that he found genuine Citizen parts. This is why I stick to Seiko and Vostok. But I was watching this to see how things are with Citizen as I’m looking at restoring a few.
@@whatsstefon
Cousinsuk. Thats where he got the Citizen parts.
@orrange fingerss
A similar microscope(with camera & screen) is available for approx. 170€.
Less than you expected, right?😉
@@humanbeing1675 ah. I’ve looked at the site but when I saw the cost of shipping to Australia, I didn’t bother. Might look again. To see if it’s worth it.
@@humanbeing1675 ???? Oh shit maybe in can get in this hobby
You have tremendous talent my friend...excelente!! Truly gratifying to watch your content, relaxes my soul.
Really enjoyed seeing a watchmaker’s tools and craft in action here - thank you for the video. Anyone else surprised by the lack of a sandpaper cutting tool, however? Ha.
I'll never complain about buying an expensive watch ever again
I love your channel, as a watch guy it is painful to see the condition of some of these watches but the precision and detail with which you restore these works of art is absolutely amazing. I don't think non watch people realize just how small some of these parts really are. Keep up the good work.
WTF my dude literally has equipments to restore the whole world into existence again..
I admit to had suffer a little bit at the beginning, thinking that mine could have the same faith. I simply love this watch! if anyone's wondering, the model is NY0040, and it actually exists in many varieties, as for example the NY0085. Definitely a good purchase if you ask me. Sturdy, cheap and well-performing movement fir its price.. An alternative in the past was the old Seiko SKX013 and the SKX007, but since they stopped the production the price doubled making it less appealing.
PS Interesting fact about the watch used in the video: it was actually given to the navy soldiers in Italy years ago, without the name "Citizen" but "Marina Militare" written in its place and no red painting on the dial, only white.
Navy soldiers? No they were way way more than that, they were the FIRST navy frog-men, Italian navy create this group back in 1920 to sunk the British royal navy with a a group of immense brave soldier like Teseo Tesei and others who perform legendary war actions destroying many warships without even let the enemy understand where the attack came from with never seen amphibious skills in a war. And today after they helped usa to build their navy seals and trained many sas squad and many others special op group from all nations knocking at their door, they are still the best with 1/100 of the money and equipment that their similar colleagues in usa or gb are granted. Their name is Comsubin, GOI Incursori della Marina militare Italiana:"E fluctibus irruit in hostem".
Love this watch too. I have owned this model for 25 years, no longer dive with it, but it is my favourite watch!
The ads just killed the vibe but loved every second of the restoration
He’s the Dexter of watch restoration!
I am wearing the exact same model as im writing this. And i wonder, how on earth that watch could end up in that condition?
The NY0040 is my daily beater. What a nice little watch.
Can these models take a beating and still tick?
That's FANTASTIC, especially as I own this watch!!! So interesting so see the many components that go into making a good watch. And loving the ASMR angle too 😀
At the time I'm watching there is 0 dislikes
Noice
There’s always going to be a tool that clicks the thumbs down button. I don’t understand why they watch these in the first place. This guy is an absolute pleasure to watch and his skill is perfection.
these are truly the best and most fascinating videos i've watched in all my years watching youtube. congratulations and please don't stop.
So viel Mühe für ein 200€ Zeiteisen... da muss Liebe im Spiel sein. Sehr schönes Video!
Fantastic restoration on that watch. i really enjoyed watching you practice your craft, and bringing that watch back to life. It's really great to see the horology community growing. Many people would have just thrown the watch away, and bought a new one. Great channel, you earned a sub!
Just another masterpiece, thank you for sharing.
10:40 : awesome trick ! I love it ;)
Cleanly handled and beautiful watch. The process is well worth the final product 👌🏿
It’s so cool just to see all the watch making tools!
This level of service seems more expensive than the market value of a new Citizen NY0040.
Probably worth it to pay a little more to service and do a restore if it’s of real sentimental value. Plus it’s one less thing to end up in a landfill.
Fantastic job! You created a new NY0040. I personally would have only cleaned it, restored it mechanically, and replaced the glass. And then I would have left it in the rough state it was in. I really love the wabi sabi aesthetics of objects that have suffered and stood the test of time.
I appreciate wabi sabi aesthetics too. Maybe just a couple of scratches or dents on the case would have sufficed to satisfy me though.
Damn my Citizen watch looks like this.... I can't imagine how hard that process must be.... Now I'm gonna keep it in good shape lol. Great video and editing.
I feel clumsy while watching this video. I have difficulties replacing a hairspring...had to buy the whole pendulum incl. the hairspring. It's noob level 1000 to this guy awesomeness!
Great skills, great tools, great video!
Thanks!
It amazes everytime I see him work on these time pieces but I am curious and hope maybe one of his videos he puts on there what he charges for his skills, he's truly surgical like a heart doctor or brain surgeon in my own opinion.
My grandfather knowed a lot about this, he worked with Rolex, Omega and Tag Huer watches. He died when i was a child so i cant learn nothing with him, but i really want to learn how to repair this kind of watches.
Imagine finishing and you see a piece of dirt inside....
No
There is, look at the hands
I want to send you my father's citizen Bullhead to repair it ... it is a 1970 model watch and I think it would be another nice video for your channel
i also have one of those that needs servicing
This restoration was a work of art ⌚
This video is a antistress winner! 👏👏 Also my fav watch Promaster Navy 💛
I like how this guy doesnt talk at all. Just keeping things simple and to the point. Thumbs up. Please, if you read this - continue making more videos dude. Saving cheap Seikos even, is kinda therapeutic to me and I believe to many others.
How can we help so you can produce more videos?
Thanks 😉
This is just a hobby. I also need to work on my main job and the process of a watch restoration takes it's time. So unfortunately there is no way to help me out producing videos more often 😕
Subscribing is a good start I guess, patreon is another option to directly support youtubers :)
@@ernaXmeier that's right 😉
Whats your main job if this is only a hobby? I think I can may be do only a half of your nice work/hobby it is disassamble😀
@@heroesofhogan233 😂😂😂😂😂😂
How am I supposed to relax as he tears every small piece apart and I have a growing feeling that he’ll never be able to make it whole again??? Kkkkkkk
I am nervous...just looking at him taking it apart...without losing any of the pieces. Then putting it back together. Wow
the special effects was cool.
I dont know why TH-cam want me to look at this, but I'm glad I did. Amazing job man.
The man surely knows how to do his job and shooting at the same time . You've earned my respect
Отличная работа 👍
How does a watch get into that state? Was it found on a road?
Amazing. Like a new watch after restoration. Very well done. Thanks for sharing :)
I love your washing machin. 😍,
Good job.
The restoration is impressive, but I'm even more impressed that you got your hands on Aron Ralston's watch.
Truly remarkable - that's my kind of watch, and you did amazing things. Thank you. I have become a subscriber - your work is incredible!
I have a Citizen Promaster Automatic with silicon bands and yellow watch backing. Bought it from money I got for My confirmation in 2004. Still Use it to this Day. I dive with it, swim with it, Use it for everything. Still works as the Day I got it. I know it is Not a fancy watch, But it was/is the only "real" watch I have ever owned.
Great to watch and see how you got it to look as good as new again 👍
Fabulous job!, I have a Promaster, Thankfully it's like new!! 😎
My grandparents were clockmakers, thanks for your videos, it make me remember them.
Com certeza merece um like, parabéns pelo magnifico trabalho!
It's not restoration. It's a work of art.
i agree doctors get fortunes for drug dealing and here is a true artist and probably earns a pittance at a watch maker/repairer but the intricacy is mind boggling. I am in awe, the only other person who has gave me so much pleasure is Lionel Messi.
I agree 100%
Yes!
the editing of this video mustve been almost as long and meticulous as the watch resto itself. well done.
And here I am, cannot find the screw of my computer unit.... what an art.. very exquisite...
I always wanted to be a watchsmith but circumstances wouldn't allow it. These individuals are master Mechanic / Machinist.. quick story. When I was 8 years old I once took a Timex mechanical apart to see if I could put it back together. Well I don't have to tell you how that turned out.🤔😟🥺😢
The only thing i want to know is how old is the cleaning machine
probably 60s, from the look of it. give or take 10 years. i have a similar one, non-functional unfortunately since the on-off switch is broken. if you are lucky you can find those for about 100 euros on Ebay. Sometimes they are sold for considerably more than that though.
@@trollstudentWooooow it have go long way from then. You have ? Niceee. Is difficult to open it to make some diy version of the switch or from the ebay ?? But thank you so much for the info. Have a nice day.
I wish i have this skill and able to fix and restored old watches.i would wear those restored watches while drink coffee and enjoy beautiful scenery.what a moment.
Genial trabajo, el mejor canal de éste tipo que he visto,lo que más me impresionó es la máquina del minimoi, jajajaja, muy bueno!!!!
My favorite youtube channel!
With all the batter and beat marks on the bezel, was this massive watch perchance used as a substitute for a shield during a LARP battle???
I noticed that the Day wheel had both English and German day names such as Montag, Dienstag, Mittwoch, Donnerstag, Freitag, Samstag and Sontag in a Japanese movement. A showing of multi-cultural cross over. Though it would be real neat if it also had Kanji (Japanese) characters for the days as well. >_
The day wheel is also available in English/Kanji 😉
@@RedDeadRestoration Sweet ^_^
I've had that watch. Cracking bit of kit. Had around ten citizens over the years. Build quality is always exceptional. 👌😎
It's an all time classic. The new ones have the hackable 8204 movement. I can't help but admire all this work for a watch that can be got off Amazon for 200 bucks. But that is what keeps me glued.
Ich hätte schon nachm 4. Zahnrad komplett den Faden verloren 😁... Super Arbeit und super interessant zu sehen, wie professionell und akkurat ein Uhrenmacher arbeiten muss!
WHAT A GORGOUS WATCH GUYS!!!😀😀😀😀
I usally hate Asmr videos, u got me man
