Beautiful work on the MkII, my favourite Speedmaster. Luckily, I own a safe queen which is nearly NOS. It’s so nice to see a MkII restored properly, with the case lines and sunburst respected, and not turned into a bar of soap like so many.
Thanks 🙏
Wow. That is so cool! Amazing job!
Thank you 🙏
Love seeing your back and shoulder during much of the restoration
Also such a great soundtrack!
That looks fantastic. I did not realise you would be able to restore that quite so well. I have this model & it looks similar to this one before your great work. My Father bought it in Zurich in 1970/71 i think. I have it now. Its mechanically perfect but battered a bit by time & wear. Nice strap on that one, mine has a think a Hirsch Monza, black with the large holes. Damn, wish you could do mine! Stuart Cape Town South Africa
Im building my own lapping machine, but Im so far away!! Lol, congrats on your equipment!
Bravo.
Incredible work
Increíble trabajo!!!! Te admiro!!!
you did a fantastic job on that case. its beautiful! that music is pretty good, too....but not for 34 straight minutes. i had to mute.
Hi thanks for showing the amazing skill!, so where and what brand that I can buying this lapping machine with attachments? Thanks
awesome job, very nice workl
Hi your tilt table looks great did you have it made for you ?
Wow!!!!
Lovely good done. Can you mention the grit sizes like you did in your previous videos. Thank you
Ronit Roy thank you for your compliments! I used 320 Grit for the finish of the sides, top sun cut with 180 Grit and cutting oil. Case Back with 120 Grit.
wonderful job. Do you mind to share what's the polishing compound you used?
Hey, I did a video of polishing compounts. I use veriations of Luxor Paste.
Really nice work! Congrats! Can you please tell me where did you buy the adjusting table for the lapping machine? (If you did it by yourself, can you advise me where should I get the screw and snail gear? Thx!
Thanks for your comment. I did the table by myself. The snail gear I have ordered in some shop, found on google and drilled it down to my belongings.
@@Vintwatches Thank you for your quick answer. Last night I found also a similar snail gear and shaft and order two pairs.
I think you make wonderful stuff and it is an inspiration for me.
I am currently building a microbrand in Romania and watching your videos gave me some new information.
Thank you for sharing!! I also try to post and share as much as I can.
Stay safe!
Amazing work, which lapping machine do you use? Greetings.
Hello, does the texture feel the same as the non restored one ? Without the scratches of course lol. Also what do you thinkf for resale value, does it affect?
Your polishing workbench is done very well. Can you give me a blueprint for it? Thank you very much.
Hi, I love that adjustable angle table you used to sand, can you tell me how to make it? thank you very much.
It is custom made.
Where can I find from this machine
Hi Daniel. Wow, amazing work, just perfect. I have the same case (mine is a Mk 4.5) and I’m gonna contact you to know how much it would cost to me. If the edges are some curved because other not so wonderful polishing process, you can do it too or laser welding would be required? Best regards
Hi, you can contact me through my website vintwatches.de
Is your lapping machine made with a Sherline Lathe Headstock?
What is the backing music? I've heard this on so many TH-cam videos!
Здравствуйте. Недавно нашел Ваш канал - подписался, всё супер. Продолжайте свои работы, очень много что взял себе на заметку. Меня вот что интересует - станок с регулировкой угла станины в начале видео. Хотелось бы знать название и если можно ссылку где приобретали. С уважением Сергей.
Do you have a name for a shop selling lapping tools?
Am I crazy for thinking that i can get parallel brushed lines on a watch case? The brushed surface is a flat surface, its the same surface where the crystal is ,the front of the watch, do you think i can manage this by hand and get a brushed parallel surface? Thank you for video!
You can flip the case in the side to be brushed and have a guide like a straight piece of wood.
Use a ultra fine grey 3 M pad. Lay it flat on a table. Align the guide piece of wood and press the case to its side. Press down lightly the case to the 3M pad and pull toward you in one direction.
Hope this helps.
the restoration process was good but the lapping process angle view was far behind your shoulder and your big hand. it's quite far that my eyes couldn't catch it. i am leaning but not at the tricky parts. it's a great results and an awesome job
Factory look!!!!!
A fantastic video and very good to watch, but i did have to switch the sound off half way through, the music was very repetitive and horrible after a while.
Thanks, will try to improve my video and music skills in future videos!
@@Vintwatchesjust remove any music. It’s not needed.
Thanks for the video and best wishes from Singapore ☀️👋
I, like many here, would love to know where we can find a precision polishing machine like this. What company makes yours? I hope you'll answer this one.
Hi, I made this specific machine myself. I also use a lapping machine from wellner, this brand does great machines. Cheers Daniel
Servus!
Bei der Recherche nach einer vernünftigen Restauration für meine Mark 2 (mit Racing Dial), bin ich auf dein Video gestoßen.
Nachdem mich deine Arbeit absolut begeistert, wollte ich fragen, ob du diesen Service anbietest. Und wenn, dann in welchem Umfang (also Uhrwerk, Zeiger, Zifferblatt etc.).
Danke für das tolle Video!
LG, Michael
Michael Kulikowski Hallo Michael, es freut mich, dass dir die Restauration gut gefällt. Du kannst mich gerne über meine Homepage, vintwatches.de kontaktieren. Die Seite bekommt zur Zeit ein neues Design. Herzliche Grüße aus Osnabrück Daniel
This is 職人技
This video is amazing!! Please please please remove music from the future videos, I have never been so annoyed at a rock song. The natural sounds of the work are much more relaxing
Thank you 🙏 This is one of my first videos I ever made. The newer ones are without or with less music 😊
Best
very good work for the case ... but the caseback ... how erase the fantastic Speedmaster logo 😭
Dude. are you trying to put the camera inside the watch? pan back a bit so we can see it.
Hey ! Amazing work ! I’m planning to buy a Speedmaster Mark II that would need exactly the same work, can you help me in private message to tell me if you can actually do that work and how much it would cost me ? Thanks a lot !
Nocomstudio FPV hi, I‘m happy, that you like my work! You can contact me through my website vintwatches.de

Nice work, but please work on camera angle sometimes.
Really sorry I couldn't see most of your work due to your shoulder.
Next time no music please.
Good job but the video is absolutely annoying.
The music is slow torture.
Great job but please get rid of the cheap generic music. It is ruining this video.
Sadly, a large proportion of your work is hidden from view by the viewing angle - obscured by you right arm and shoulder. This prevents us from getting a full appreciation of the application of your undoubted skills.
Thank you for your comment! You are right, I really improved in my newer Videos, give them a try!
Over restoring imho
I gave this the Thumbs Down because I enjoyed looking at the back of your shoulder.
