This guy seems so humble... Admitting he's not a fancy trained watchmaker from the factory but I can see his experience speaks for itself. I'll take his apprenticeship over any fancy school.
When i was kid, i never understood why my grandfather paid so much money in servicing his old Cartier Santos. Now watching these videos I can totally understand why. Watchmaking is an art form. Beautiful job.
I arrived here from the Wristwatch Revival channel. I absolutely love watch restoration videos and your channel has soooooo many! I burned through all the videos on Wristwatch Revival and I am happy to have found your channel with such an extensive catalogue of videos!!!!
Well, Mark doesn’t suggest anyone should try this at home. I recently watched him service an Omega CoAxial movement and was slightly amazed by what was required to do it. As an owner of a Seamaster GMT CoAxial, I can tell you there is no way breathing I’m ever going to touch that movement. I also doubt that many Rolex owners would try it for much the same reason.
Fine work on a Rolex that was from back when Rolexes were what they were intended to be. Exceptionally reliable, reletively affordable tool watches. No gold, no diamonds, no "luxury watch" moniker.
Phenomenal work you’ve done there, so easy to watch without unnecessary talking and just watching how delicate you are with your work is extremely satisfying
Your Most Welcome!!!! - Didn't think I would see it in the video, its not exactly a Bergeon!!! Thanks for the shout out and the Pallet warmer - its already been used and I'm so proud to have it on my bench!! Hope you and your family are safe and well in that part of the world! Thanks for another awesome video.

Hello Mark, Sweden here again. I have been running around town a few hours today. Took my oldest to driving school and went to the scrapyard, had a few errands to make and then shopping so when I came home and you just posted the video it was just what I needed to wind down. Watching you work with no stress and that soft music. Thank you.
It's definitely worth getting fixed. I have picked up several watches in Midland over the yrs. I am there on a regular basis. Sadly the watchmaker I used in that area no longer services watches. There are some great Tx watchmakers available
I've got one of these with the Coke bezel from the same era (1987) I think. Was my fathers, and passed to me. Beautiful piece and still keeps time to a few seconds a week. Thanks for sharing an inside look at this more vintage GMT-II
I’d be delighted if this was my watch , it’s like knowing your car has been fully serviced and is running to the best of its abilities. You can’t complain as it looks like it’s been used a lot and is now running perfectly at nearly 40 years old .
That’s why I love doing my own oil change and tire changes. Knowing the oil and tire pressures are precisely filled. Knowing what oil and filter grade I put in etc. just so satisfying
I've loved your videos since I stumbled across your channel about a year ago. They peaked my interest in dabbling myself, and just now I finally got the chance to crack open a watch. I recently got a Vostok Komandirskie, and a couple days ago the second hand started catching on the minute hand. My girlfriend gave me a beginner watch repair kit last xmas, so I got to work. It took me a while, you definitely make this stuff look easy, but I managed to get the job done. The only downside is I scratched the paint on the minute hand trying to reseat it, so that's pretty annoying. It's small enough that nobody but me will ever notice it, but I'm the kind of person who will obsess over that tiny damage. But hey, I did it!
I think you're very good, and I do enjoy watching you working on the watches... but I enjoy watching you even more, when you've a watch with real problems that challenge you.
When I was tearing down one of my pistols, one of the smaller springs shot out and I looked for that thing for an hour or more in the carpet and that spring was enormous compared to any one of the springs in a watch . I dont think I would ever attempt to take apart any of my watches like this . It definitely takes a very skilled and steady hand to be a watchmaker . Simply amazing skills . Great video .
When you showed the spread of all the parts for the watch on your workbench, all I could think of was "who invented all this stuff to tell time?" It had to have been some mechanical genius with knowledge the size of library. Very impressive detailed work on the Rolex...how you dabbed a minute amout of oil on various parts and the finished product probably operated better than the original!
Wow! What a privilege to see such a skilled person at work! I watched the video from start to finish and am in awe of the precise and highly detailed work you do!! Great camerawork too! Thank you for sharing and best regards from South Africa
When you removed the tension on the lyre for the balance assembly (?) I said to myself "here comes the dough" and I was not disappointed ! You used the green dough to remove the jewel...yay i'm learning thank you muuuucho
Looks like I would trust my watch repair to your hands rather than the last three that serviced that nice Rolex! Thanks for the enjoyable video and music!
After recently discovering your channel I have now watched several of your service videos. This one, like the others, is absolutely fascinating and extremely enjoyable to watch. You have sparked my new fascination with mechanical watch movements and I just want you to know how much I appreciate your craft and your ability to make it so very entertaining through your video productions. Please keep them coming.
Hey Marc, I really enjoy your calm and positive way of narrating your videos. It is genuinely interesting to follow your videos, also as someone who is not really an expert on the technical aspect of watchmaking/repairing!
I remember the first time I had a luxury watch serviced. Tudor OysterDate 90800, and he quoted me a little under $500 for the repair/service. I thought that was a lot, and then I thought about how much I'd pay for someone else to do this instead of attempting it myself and causing way more damage than it already had. With that said, the price of service/repair is totally worth it even if it seems eye watering at times. That's in such good condition for an 80's model, that bezel looks great! I bet the owner rarely wears it, but when they do it's a special time. Thanks for sharing this gorgeous piece with us and your craft. So rare to see something like this these days.
Just found this video. Thanks very much for showing how to disassemble and reassemble a Rolex. I found it very interesting. I admire your patience and skill.
New to your channel. Enjoyed watching. I have a Rolex submariner I bought on Okinawa in 1972 for $250 . Have had it serviced a few times. It cost way more to have it serviced than I originally paid for it but it keeps pretty good time.
Good evening Mark. I follow your work here for many months now and I'm also member of your FB group and watchrepairtalk.com. I've seen all your videos and I've never commented your videos but now I feel I have to. I just mentioned how (at 14:25) all the parts are arranged with total precise - screws sorted by size and even the hands are aligned... I'm only sorry I'm not a native speaker and can't express myself good enough to tell you how I do admire the way you work and how I would like to see all others to be as much into details as yourself. I'm simply amazed! You give me a lot of inspiration for my own watch repairing - I started last july after I randomly played one of the videos you made. Almost everything I know I learned from you (I bought some book a lot later though..)
Excellent work as usual! It amazes me how someone can treat a timepiece in such manner, especially someone servicing the device. Hope you and your family are doing well as we all navigate this pandemic in the best way we can.
I love your channel. Thanks for inspiring me to spend hundreds and hundreds of dollars on watches and the tools required to destroy them so carefully.,
That was a really beaten movement. It had scoring everywhere. Surprised you didn’t change as many parts that in my opinion needed to be substituted. You already had all apart it was the right time to change everything that was worn and polished the rest. Well done.
Amazing! I sure do enjoy watching your videos even though I am not a watch repair person, I have always been fascinated by time pieces and "what makes them tick". (sorry for the pun). Cheers.
Mark, you are amazing! Great job on the repair. It looked 100% better for an older watch. I love your videos. I'll have to check out your tutorial videos. Thx, Gayle.
I tried to play watch maker and I almost destroyed my Seiko divers watch, witch I purchase in 1982 ! It was the first Seiko divers 150m with batterie ! I’ll be the happiest if you can fixed , because with this watch have a lot of memories ! Thank you ! John Zaharia
You’re in for an amazing treat. I’ve watched many to include other channels and Mark is one, if not the best for a number of reasons. Edit: After further thought, he is the very best given his videography, content and detail.
Really interesting and informative video. Thank you for so carefully explaining all the steps. I've never been a fan of Rolex watches (too ostentatious) but now I want one because seeing the mechanism it's clearly been beautifully put together, the detail and workmanship is fantastic.
I will attempt to overhaul my datejust jubillee 1957 watch this coming days after watching your video.Im just waiting for my repair tool kits.Wish me luck.I wish you have a tutorial video for 6605 ref.1065.
Excellent travail ! je commence à peine ma formation pour apprendre le métier de l'horlogerie et j'ai hâte de réparer / restaurer des belles montres comme vous le faites...
Always great to see a video in your channel Mark. I take inspiration from you and Mike Bolton. I hope you and your family are safe and taking care always. Cheers.
Nice work, Mark. Considering it's age and obvious constant use, it turned out pretty well. I'd happily own it but give it a bit more TLC. Thanks for posting the content - very interesting and enjoyable to watch.
14:13 is a picture! Watch Channel Repair, you are a positive force in my mental well-being.... (I'm not crazy about Rolex, but I'm really enjoying your content) Positive vibes to you Tony
amazing service here Mark! only 1 thing I noticed though starting at @34:12 I think the bracelet was mounted the otherway around as how the clasp was oriented? Maybe this was a second take? Hoping to avail of your watch services soon More power!
yep he mounted it wrong, I've done it sometimes as well. Sometimes you are so focused on just trying to get the damn bracelet on that you forget to check the orientation.
Hi, on these vintage timepieces, at 1:19 of your video, when winding reverse, the second hand skips. I was wondering if this was normal or if this gets fixed after service? I have a 1963 datejust 1601 and when I reverse when adjusting time, the second hand skips like it’s loose and the second hand starts to wind backwards. Is this normal for older watches? Just got it serviced last year. Some say it might be the mainspring. Thank you for your videos!
These guys are like surgeons . How on earth can you work with so many small parts and remember where they all go. Admire their skill
This guy seems so humble... Admitting he's not a fancy trained watchmaker from the factory but I can see his experience speaks for itself. I'll take his apprenticeship over any fancy school.
When i was kid, i never understood why my grandfather paid so much money in servicing his old Cartier Santos. Now watching these videos I can totally understand why. Watchmaking is an art form. Beautiful job.
You said it doesn't look new by any means, but for me that I have no idea of this profession, it was SUPERLATIVE!
I arrived here from the Wristwatch Revival channel. I absolutely love watch restoration videos and your channel has soooooo many! I burned through all the videos on Wristwatch Revival and I am happy to have found your channel with such an extensive catalogue of videos!!!!
44 approved Rolex repairers disliked how you made them look like rough fools.
Beautiful work as always Mark.
As a watchmaker I want to thank this channel for giving me more work. Especially from the previous Rolex video where people tried this at home.
Imagine the scenes of a DIY’er trying this 😂
lol
Just forcing parts together, like they’re working on a 1969 Chevy Nova.
Well, Mark doesn’t suggest anyone should try this at home. I recently watched him service an Omega CoAxial movement and was slightly amazed by what was required to do it. As an owner of a Seamaster GMT CoAxial, I can tell you there is no way breathing I’m ever going to touch that movement. I also doubt that many Rolex owners would try it for much the same reason.
For a watchmaker, you sound like an idiot with your sarcasm.
Fine work on a Rolex that was from back when Rolexes were what they were intended to be. Exceptionally reliable, reletively affordable tool watches. No gold, no diamonds, no "luxury watch" moniker.
Phenomenal work you’ve done there, so easy to watch without unnecessary talking and just watching how delicate you are with your work is extremely satisfying

Hello Mark, Sweden here again.
I have been running around town a few hours today. Took my oldest to driving school and went to the scrapyard, had a few errands to make and then shopping so when I came home and you just posted the video it was just what I needed to wind down. Watching you work with no stress and that soft music.
Thank you.
As a watchmaker my self, i find your vids very soothing, ASMAR like, i just love it.
I have that exact watch. Bought in Midlland TX in 1981. It's been sitting in a drawer. This is motivating me to have it cleaned and serviced.
Bruh why would you let it sit in a drawer 😂. Enjoy the darned thing! If you won’t, someone will
It's definitely worth getting fixed. I have picked up several watches in Midland over the yrs. I am there on a regular basis. Sadly the watchmaker I used in that area no longer services watches. There are some great Tx watchmakers available
Btw hope you get your watch up and running again
I've got one of these with the Coke bezel from the same era (1987) I think. Was my fathers, and passed to me. Beautiful piece and still keeps time to a few seconds a week. Thanks for sharing an inside look at this more vintage GMT-II

Thanks Mark for sharing yet another superb video. I enjoy watching you work with patience & skill. Stay healthy and safe in these difficult times.
You always make it look so easy and use tools I would have never thought of to avoid damage.... Very cool.

*_Very nice to see a 1570 movement soldier on well into this century, after nearly 40 years of service_*
Dear Sir. You work in the most honorable profession. It is so relaxing to watch your videos. Thank you very much.
Have this same watch, bought new in 1978. Wear it everyday!
I think you're very good, and I do enjoy watching you working on the watches... but I enjoy watching you even more, when you've a watch with real problems that challenge you.
You’re a true watch expert. Quite refreshing from these “know it all” watch experts. Their sole interests are o grow their channels and sell straps.
Thank you Mark for filming and uploading these videos!
That‘s why I love mechanical watches, true masterpieces. Great job!
When I was tearing down one of my pistols, one of the smaller springs shot out and I looked for that thing for an hour or more in the carpet and that spring was enormous compared to any one of the springs in a watch . I dont think I would ever attempt to take apart any of my watches like this . It definitely takes a very skilled and steady hand to be a watchmaker . Simply amazing skills . Great video .

Hi Mark,
I'm always mezmorised by your watch strip downs and have to say the photography/video with this Rolex was outstanding the best yet. Thanks👍
It did seem like the quality of the video was especially good on this one.
Wow! What a privilege to see such a skilled person at work! I watched the video from start to finish and am in awe of the precise and highly detailed work you do!! Great camerawork too! Thank you for sharing and best regards from South Africa

You used the green dough to remove the jewel...yay i'm learning
thank you muuuucho
Your channel is making me think about buying tools and starting working on watches. I feel like I've learnt so much
Looks like I would trust my watch repair to your hands rather than the last three that serviced that nice Rolex! Thanks for the enjoyable video and music!
And from the sounds of it, they were the actual Rolex techs who effed it up
After recently discovering your channel I have now watched several of your service videos. This one, like the others, is absolutely fascinating and extremely enjoyable to watch. You have sparked my new fascination with mechanical watch movements and I just want you to know how much I appreciate your craft and your ability to make it so very entertaining through your video productions.

Looks like previous service technicians had nowhere near the care and precision you obviously put into each job. A joy to watch sir. Well played.
The quality never varies, top-notch Mark.
Mark, “it doesn’t look new,” but I like it better with the kind of wear that shows it’s had a life. Looks like a really good trustworthy watch.
Hey Marc, I really enjoy your calm and positive way of narrating your videos. It is genuinely interesting to follow your videos, also as someone who is not really an expert on the technical aspect of watchmaking/repairing!
I would trust these hands with my life, let alone a Rolex.

Very mesmerising and therapeutic to watch a professional at work doing his magic, well done!👍👍
So pleasing to watch, even more relaxing than ASMR.

Awesome stuff mark I wish I was 20 years younger to learn how to be a watch repairer
Amazing skills !! Only master could performed like this, I wished to have a watch maker this level !! Great video.
