- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 6 ก.พ. 2025
- This Rolex was burned in a house fire in 2010. It is a Rolex 16013 with a fluted gold bezel.
The case is covered in deep scratches, the glass is burnt but the movement is still running, well more or less at least.
I hope you liked this restoration, if so, like, comment and subscribe ;)

Your tools and equipment are something out of a Rolex factory! Great job on the restoration as always.
Thanks 🙏
More like from Elsa factory 😂
Are they a new sponsor?
Kerja dan peralatan yang mumpuni....

I have a watch that is very nostalgic to me. Would you be willing to assist in possibly repairing it.
Sad to see the old watch cleaning machine go. I remember watching you do the restoration of it a while back.
Beautiful work as usual. Sorry to say I hate the strap. Hope the owner pleased.
Came here to say this too. Feels wrong to bring a Rolex back from the dead and then use that band.
I love the leather strap. It’s a classic look.
New flux capacitor, what a time to be alive
A smarter man would have put the entire watch into the Flux capacitor and restored it.
Oh shit another silent movie
Another amazing restoration. It's hard to believe it's the same watch.
Thanks mate 😊
Me dejaste sorprendido, ese reloj de como llegó a como salió quedó precioso, hasta parece que salió de la misma fábrica Rolex..!! Siempre he visto que haces muy buenos trabajos, y tienes un taller con todas las herramientas, no cabe duda que eres un maestro relojero..!! Excelente video ..!
That is a jaw-dropping restoration. Amazing work!
Wow! Just incredible everything (skills, editing technics, results...) as always. Just let you know I really enjoy your videos!
Thanks 😉
I mean🫣this is neurosurgical of watch worlds. Absolutely amazing. I thought I’ll fall asleep to it but i literally watched the entire video wide awake 😂. Bravo. This is non replaceable talent. ❤🇨🇦💕
Absolutely love your work. I have a few omegas and breitlings. This makes me appreciate why they are so expensive. And to look after them.
Loved the 80s synth ending
Great vids always
Love from beirut lebanon ❤
I got the impression that this restoration was a bit more of a challenge than some of your others. You did an incredibly amazing job. This was so enjoyable to watch you work your magic.
I never imagined the degree of precision that a professional watchmaker has.... It's amazing... A separate issue is the quality of the watch, which is beyond any doubt... !!!!!!
Well done mate! I was quite stunned that you got the brushing on the lugs that nice when you did it manually. Very nice workshop you have now 👍, hope it will last for 100 years 😊
This is no restoration. This is a resurrection! What an amazing job! And the old and restored Elma cleaning machine has been replaced! I’m gonna have to get use to that. Thanks for this great video!
Just watched the whole video. Red, thanks for these amazing, high quality, no-nonsense videos. I really appreciate the level of detail and the dedication you put into these little 20 minute videos, I'm sure it isn't easy. Easily one of the watchmaker GOATs of TH-cam. 🐐
Thanks, it's really hard to put all that stuff in around 20 minutes 👍
@RedDeadRestoration hey man you keep doing what you're doing. We all appreciate the work that goes into your craft. Let me know when you're Los Angeles, I'll buy you a fatass burrito.
@@winstonlanda7731 I will let you know when I'm there 😅
Elmasolvex RM! 😍 I miss the restored old Elma cleaning machine though. Please keep your amazing collection of socks! Red Dead Rocks!✌
Incredible work! I just think probably a replacement hour and minute hand would have been good! Surprised the glue on pallet stones didn’t come loose in that fire! Anyway, great job!
Amazing job! I wish I could find someone like you to work on my watch. You have some skills!
Absolutely fantastic. Congratulations on another great watch restoration and a video that was a pleasure to watch..
thats what i call a best of the best restoration 👏👏👏👏
Amazing! Absolutely Amazing restoration…you truly have talent that is above and beyond. 👏😎
This is what’s called SKILFUL. A true master of a craft that fixes quality items with intimacy, passion and true skill. Bravo!👏👏
That was incredible!! The Master lays it down.
Very satisfying to watch, amazing patience and skill.
Who else watches restoration videos to fall asleep 😅
I watch them because I find them oddly fascination, just like watch Bob Ross. But I'd be lying if I said I didn't nod off many times.
Guilty 😑
You re so lazy and impacient 😁😁😂
Got tinatis and listen to the sounds helps me fall asleep 💤
That’s literally me and now it’s 2am i think i will fall asleep in 10 min 🤣🤣
Congratulations for restauration ... The song "Overdrive" by Corbin Kites at the end was incredible. I've been your follower a long time. Happy 2024, health and peace for you!
Beautiful work. Congrats on the new equipment (especially the new time machine!).
It must be satisfying to bring such a beautiful watch back to life. Excellent work.
Maravilloso!! El trabajó!! 😊👍 bien ahí! Amigo!!
It's amazing talent of doing like this, and tremendous skill, thanks.
Awesome restoration! 👍 It is always a pleasure watching professional restoration videos no matter what is being restored. 😎
best watch restoration channel on youtube
😊
Great Flux Capacitor! I still have the old one like the old cleaning machine.... 😢
New cleaning machine is crazy!! Keep pushing!
Beautiful work as always.
Amazing content. One of my favourite channels. Love the new time machine. 😀
Love the way that leather strap takes up the end link space,like a rubber dive strap would. Don’t think I’ve seen that before. Top notch resto …as per usual 👌
You really did a Great job and I love the leather strap. A very classic look plus it doesn't add much to the weight of the watch.
Amazing watch, amazing result, amazing skills and amazing new tools. I’m amazed.
You are so calm and confident in your actions, it's amazing.
Wow was für eine Perfektion tolle Arbeit und noch schöneres Ergebnis eine Wahnsinns Uhr Respekt!!!
Vielen Dank!
*Beautiful work, dedication and professionalism*
So glad you changed the dial. Great work on this watch.
A new life for the Datejust. Nice work.
Amazing work 🎉
Incredible workmanship.
Superb job, thank you for sharing.
your time machine makes always the miracles…perfect job, as usual Maestro, taking nice care to all the parts with your brass or plastic tools
Looking good again! Especially the movement, running like new
Another beautiful transformation my friend!
Absolutely unbelievably amazing!
*The time machine part is the best.* *_Great job, I would be happy to wear it and proud._*
Gratz on your new Elma! Great restoration as always.
Celebro ver a personas tan habilidosas realizar trabajos tan complejos....y realizarlos tan bien!!. Saludos Artesano desde Uruguay.
best restoration I have seen on here
I really enjoyed your restoration, I was amazed the watch appeared all but destroyed, in the beginning.
Awesome job. I have to say though… I was cringing when you were polishing that one up. I was so hoping you’d keep all that beautiful character and fire damage, including the dial. It was the coolest DJ I had ever seen all weathered and beaten up like that, and it would have made a great conversation piece. But I guess it would not have been a restoration then. Masterful work. Well done. I always enjoy your videos. Thank you!
Same. I was kind of hoping for a conservation vs. a restoration but maybe that’s what the customer wanted.
Yeah the dial replacement was a little sad. Shoulda kept the original.
Isso é uma obra de arte. Parabéns!! Incrível. 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
This new cleaning machine is dope !
Schöne uhr wieder und guter job
Beautiful restoration
Todo nuevo ,felicidades , excelente trabajo, saludos desde Argentina
Hell yeah! I love the watch restorations
I enjoy every restoration but this one has been beautiful 👏🏽
that case restoration is on another level! brilliant!
Incredible. Thank you for the sharing. Perfect restoration with respect of watch identity !!! And congratulations on this new cleaning machine :)
Man. That’s a beautiful restoration.
Salute for the old Super Elite cleaning machine o7 She did great work getting us here, but there will always be a younger, fancier replacement waiting in the wings.
As always absosultely fascinating to watch and outstanding result
Nice makeover! Time marches on. Happy Holidays ⛄🎄! 💯🗽🇺🇸
One of the best YT channels. Always looking forward to your next restoration!
Thanks 👍
Awesome renovation … looks brand new … good job sir
Amazing...This is a pure art...
Beautiful work!
Nice work!! Thank you for posting !!!
No way I could have just started sanding this!
Is this a new way of oiling the jewels? Injection....
Love all the new machinery!
Came out beautiful
The most beautiful Rolex imo !
Quel travail vous êtes un magicien
your videos are calming💆🏻♂️💆🏻♀️
Eres un artista, el mejor. Un fuerte abrazo.
*Brilliant, jewel-like work!*
Thanks for your highest skills in watches and watchable content :)
Absolutely gorgeous!
Keep it up and see you on 2024!!!
Loving the new video technique. The new ELNA cleaning machine is really nice. Thanks for saving that fire damaged Rolex. Liking the Owl socks too😊
Glad you liked it mate 😉
That is a original Rolex❤..beautiful watch.
Incredible work.....amazing !
Just received my Red Dead Restoration dad cap in grey color. This is a very nice cap! Quality hat, very nice stitching.
Нравятся мне ваши видео .
Они успокаивают нервы.
Желаю успехов в работе и в творчестве👍👍
hermano amo esa maquina del tiempo.... Feliz año nuevo!!!
Amazing.
I loved that video so much, it was like watching a master chef at work. The way they handled every element was so effortless and perfect, it was like they were dancing with the ingredients. And the final product was an absolute masterpiece, a symphony of flavors that left my taste buds singing. I'm so glad I watched that video, it was an experience I won't soon forget.
Young boy , again brilliant work .
Stunning Work ❤
Great Job. Amazing!
Another "Wow!" from me to you! It was beautiful to watch you take that pitiful, burned, hopeless watch and make it like new again.
Magnífica restauración de esta preciosa máquina, estos relojes los vendes, un saludo.
Alot of channels fake dirty their stuff before cleaning them. However the damage to this watch does look pretty accurate to a fire. As a firefighter I like seeing stuff like this. Seeing someone's items after the worst day of their life repaired for them.
The editing alone is 2nd to none. 🇬🇧
Another fantastic save.
Champagne two-tone Datejust on that dark leather strap is just *chefs kiss*
