A sad story to say the least, a #rolex GMT master was sent in due to it being completely flooded with sea water then left to sit for a few months! safe to say a Rolex or any mechanical watch is not something you can just leave out to dry!
Full restoration taking you guys step by step as I turn this non running, rusted basically destroyed Rolex movement back into a fully functional timepiece!

Dude, please do more watch servicing videos. These are DOPE. And you were the best thing about Luxury Bizarre BTW - by far. A true artisan.
I have a few more restorations coming soon! thanks for watching
Peter literally buys his fakeaudience
@@Richard_James_Schueler I don't care about audience size lol
Also a dope - in a negative sense - is whoever took this in the sea water!☹️
Hey! Don’t knock your videography skills Peter. I think this was maybe the slickest one yet. I watch a lot of watch restoration channels and I really like that you talk us through it. Not knocking the other channels, but I don’t care for ASMR. Did an amazing job with this. Thanks for sharing and Merry Christmas ✌🏻
Wow, thanks appreciate this!! 🙏🏻
I try to watch the ones with subtitles I just can’t do it. I have to be engaged with the persons voice explaining it.
@@johnswick7108 totally agree. I like the nekkid watchmaker
Peter Peter pumpkin eater
After 5 years of watching all types of watches on TH-cam, this is the first to see the watchmaker actually adjust those little "stars" on the Rolex when a watch has been past the +6,-4 parameters, nice one, great fix .
microstellas on the balance will do the trick!
This is exactly what I needed on a lazy Sunday evening 👌
I swear I've been trying to get this out for two days, then it hit me this is EXACTLY what id like to see on a Sunday night haha thanks for watching!
@@Peterpic Thank you for the great content!
So great to see a blend of selling videos and watch repair. There's so much artistry and craftsmanship that goes into a repair like this. Beautiful work!
Thanks 👍 appreciate you tuning in! more to come
Good thing you left LB and started your own thing. Great content!
Peter your attention to detail, skill and knowledge is 2nd to nobody and that’s the reason you will get big quick.. very entertaining thank you..
Appreciate you🙏🏻🙏🏻
I thought working on electronics was hard but DAMN this is art.
What you do with these tiny pieces is amazing, keep doing these videos please.
These restorations are great, Pete. Being a one man band, it may not be as feasible, but when you get to a point where you can get help, there should be more of these 100%
These restoration videos can go up on the algorithm
Let’s hope so😂
Watching this is therapeutic, thoroughly enjoyable and the entire time I’m thinking how fortunate is the owner of this GMT. 🙌🏼
Thank you for watching!! And I enjoy this stuff a lot, very calming to work on it.. until you run into stripped screws then the cursing starts
This content is brillant, you get to see nice timepieces along with the educational side of what the mechanics of a watch is, keep it coming Peter
Glad you enjoy it🙏🏻
This is an exceptional way to show off your expertise. Anyone can sell. Not everyone can speak about watches with such knowledge. Keep evolving in social media and with your videos and you will do very well in the coming years. Congrats dude.
Peter, thanks for bailing me out. This is my watch and Tommy was nice enough to get me in touch with you when Rolex would not touch the watch due to the after market part. She's back on my wrist now and keeping time beautifully. This was a college graduation present from my parents in 1994 and was purchased in Davos, Switzerland where my parents have a home. My mom is Swiss. For those reasons this watch means so much to me so Thank You! Btw, I didn't know that cream hands were an option to match the dial. I'd love to do that!
this format is your calling. keep it up!
thank you for the video Peter Merry Christmas👍
Thank you🙏🏻 you as well enjoy!
I'll say it again best watch channel on TH-cam. Love the complete breakdown of the watch and the whole process. Keep it up, and i wish you the best and more business 🤙
appreciate the support thanks for watching!
by this time next year you'll be @100k subs . great video .
Appreciate this! Hopefully I can get there!
Great episode. Thank you for the upload 👏
12 hours brought down to 10 mins worth of cleaning wow i know you worked really hard. Thank you for the great birthday present. Love your videos
my man happy birthday! and YES exactly haha many hours spent here wishing you all the best!
This is CRAZY, great video, man!! Really enjoyed it. Fascinating to see
1:50 - The way the dial face perforated and cracked to look almost like fish scales - would have looked sick if the entire face was like that.
It would have been impossible to preserve it and keep it that way.
But it would have been “1 in the world” unique.
Another dope video! Keep it up! 👍
So usually this is referred to as a “spider dial” the old lacquer cracks but doesn’t fall off the dial plate! Super unique to see in person!
Banger! man is grinding, can't wait to see how far you go
amazing work Peter, thanks very much
Peter, you are the Rolex master, amazing work! Best of luck .. happy holidays….
Good stuff Peter! 🙌
Amazing video Peter, I love seeing the internals of a mechanical watch at this kind of detail. Keep up the amazing work! Happy holidays 🎄
of course nice
Peter, amazing content. Your love for the craft and watches inspires!! Your the real deal! Have a great holiday!
Brilliant as always Peter
Finally, a local guy I can bring my watches too!
another awesome video. I always learn a few things when i watch the channel. keep up the great work
Glad to hear this! Thank you for watching I appreciate it👍🏻🙏🏻
Love videos like this. Please continue!
I’m trying😂 one man band at the moment so trying to juggle everything while getting out quality content!
Great video!! My fave part was “this will not be fun at all”
“This is where the fun begins”
Hahahha keep killing it Peter!!
Hahaha😂 i think at that point things were going in the right direction so it became less of a pain!
Damn. You got some serious skills Peter. Amazing.Beautiful work. Labour of love. 👏👏👏
All the other channels are about money and greed. This one is about watches. Thats how its supposed to be. Great content!
Appreciate you!
Thanks so much for letting us know the actual cleaner and codes for the cleaners.
You brought this GMT master back to life, you are very experienced, thank you very much for sharing it with us.
Keep this up and you'll have the most well-rounded watch content channel on YT.
Peter Pic back again with another banger. The best watch content on TH-cam currently, no shadow of a doubt.
great work, very calming to watch. beautiful result 👍
Thank you very much!
NICE WORK!
I love these watch service videos.
I’m a hobbyist and any knowledge I gain from these is appreciated. Thankyou
Love the restoration vids!
I first started being interested in watches a few years ago watching nico leonard, i liked the passion and comedy. I slowly became interested in actual horology thru deep dives in history and importance of movements.These restoration videos make me want to buy some tools and broken watches to restore them as a hobby! Thank you for the work you do Peter! Genuinely inspirational.
Glad you like them! and its honestly so calming i enjoy it a lot
Excellent Work
Super well done. Thank you for doing this video. It really shows what it takes to service and restore these watches.
Thanks for watching!
Hi Peter, great video!
I really value your skills - you are crazy talented!
I would love to see a video in the future about your journey, what inspired you & how you learnt your craft.
Keep up the great work!
Im actually surprised how knowledgeable you are. You're the real deal my man
Excellent video Pete!! Best of luck..
Superb job
Bro. What a great video!! You’re a genius. It’s like watching a surgeon at work.
Very nicely done ! Enjoyed this a ton
Thanks a lot!

Awesome, thank you!

Thanks so much!
Great video and content. Congrats on the channel. Looking forward to the future videos. So much knowledge being shared.
Much appreciated! Thank you for watching👍🏻
@@Peterpicthank you for all your hard work on putting these videos together. Can see there is a lot of time, thought, and money invested to prepare these. It’s paying off! Great quality
you have 13.4k subscribers and had 12.5k views so far, i would say that's very successful !!! great job!!! i watched from start to finish
Great video, hope to see more restoration videos like this.
More to come! thanks for watching
Wow !! brilliant video. I watch things like this to educate myself and to relax, very good.
Glad you enjoyed it! thank you
@@Peterpic I think many people will enjoy these detailed uncomplicated videos.
UN Believable. Wonderful job Peter.
Appreciate it joe! thank you as always
" If your watch gets water logged dont put in rice".......lol thats funny
Pete the magician amazing work once again
More like this, please! I was enthralled by it.
Respect
More restoration and problem solving videos please Peter, great job!
Excellent work to restore a great watch! Very awesome.
Dude sick video, what a before and after!
Awesome Video and great result 👌🏽
Nice one Peter... First thing I did when you left Luxury Bizarre was to unsubscribe... You the reason I turned in and you were the best
Good videos, Peter. I like these restoration & repair videos. As an amateur watchmaker, I always like to see a pro at work.
Make sure you charge the client an extra 'bonehead fee' for wearing this incredible watch into saltwater and then leaving it lie around to rust up.
Haha I appreciate this! Far from a pro myself still learning daily in this world you never stop learning ! I enjoy doing this stuff tremendously thank you for watching
@@Peterpic if ya get paid for it then your a pro by definition! but fair play on always be learning.
King! Keep EM coming Peter
appreciate you!!
great work man, we have talked on reddit before about watchmaking in australia etc and you do show some great skill - some tips for next time, remove the cam yoke jewel BEFORE removing the GMT cover plate - they are super easy to loose and by keeping the cover plate on first youll save yourself the stress (of course take the calandar wheel plate off first lol) -- and also just general cleanliness, lots of bits of fluff everywhere and some small finger prints but that all comes with practice, your doign amazing
Wonderful video and wonderful work.
Great job wishing you great success ! Have a Merry Christmas Peter!
Thanks, you too!
Awesome! Well done Peter! Did the client elect to put a gmt II dial on a gmt?
Great Skill bro, I appreicate you hard work. Best of Luck!
I appreciate you tuning in! Thank you 🙏🏻
Here in Ireland at 3 in the morning incredible work beautiful watch 👍
Morning! thanks for watching
Great video Peter!! And video quality was nearly perfect. I've never seen anyone steadying a screwdriver with tweezers, I need to try that!
Glad you enjoyed it and yea great technique using the tweezers keeps the screwdriver centered
Really talented. The views and likes don’t lie. Congrats to you and wish you a lot of success in the new year
Thank you tyler appreciate that!
These videos are super fun to watch!
Appreciate this! They’re great to watch unfortunately a pain to film and complete 😂
Isn't this the same GMT Master II you where working on in the, "I am no longer at Luxury Bazaar" video a month ago?
Correct! This was NOT done in a single day haha
@@Peterpic lol, I know. Not to mention you need to wait for parts.
Very fun to watch. What is your opinion on an El Primro line?
This video is fire, I hope there is more like videos like this in the future. For a service like this how much would it cost to perform.
Fantastic work man 👏
Thank you!
Great Job Peter,
Well done Peter!
Thank you👍🏻
Good work and a superb ending. Just wondering where you obtained the replacement parts, especially the dial.
Great work Pete. Keep em comin’
This was hypnotic Pete. Such an art form. Bravo Sir 🎉
Dude it's amazing I always thought you were a fake watchmaker at luxury Business place but this was the biggest surprise out of that channel. Keep it going mate this is excellent stuff.
I'm stoked to see your channel doing good Peter. We are here for YOUR content. Lets go!!!!
These are awesome! Loved your other restorations and this one's a banger!
Thank you! Cheers!
That's so cool, man! Can you give us a run down on what parts you had to replace and how much a service like this cost? I'm guessing it was a few grand at least considering the dial and all of the parts you replaced.
This was an absolutely fascinating video Peter.
I was completely hooked , well done , all best for Christmas and 2024 when I’m sure your audience will grow dramatically
Phil appreciate this tremendously thank you 🙏🏻 wishing you the same!! Enjoy and thanks for watching
I love this video, thanks for uploading! Restoring is part of the charm of buying a mechanical watch. I am always amazed to watch a rusted piece restored to a running watch again. Keep it up brother, you've got a new subscriber.
Nicely done man!
Curious…Are you able to get it running within COSC standards after a complete rebuild like that?
zero issue, a fair amount of parts were changed and everything was cleaned thoroughly so I had zero issues with regulation.
Truly GREAT work sir.. SAVED.
Thank you !!
Amazing . Great job , Peter ! :)
Let’s goooooooooo Piccolino 🎉🔥
🫡🫡 appreciate you!
Wow love these retail videos -great job Peter
Great work.
