My favorite part was when you swapped out the rusted watch with whole different one during the "cleaning" process. That was amazing. I mean, it's the best way to get rid of the pitting and delamination. Oh and getting everything shiny without a polishing wheel. Top notch work!

He ordered 2 cheap Chinese made watches, put one outside for a month while he took the new one apart and put the balance in a bag to make it look like he ordered it, (they don't come in a plastic baggie) cleaned some of the parts of the dirty watch then did the old bait and switch with the new watch and parts and put it back together. This is probably what he does with every "restoration" $40 for 100k views.

These would be much better if you just started from here (1:08) and cut out the whole "finding" the item which comes off as so fake.

Больше всего меня поражает не то, что этот парень находит каждый день Ролекс на помойках, и даже не то, что он беззастенчиво меняет корпуса и части деталей на новые, а то, что удивительно большое число людей принимает это за чистую монету.. Товарищи, господа, это не реставрация, это - фокусы. И никаких тут вариантов нет. Постановка

Assembling a watch on a towel and not using any oil in a movement. Amazing magician this guy...

Прикол в том, что разбирает и собирает двое разных часов, об ясню, так как он чистит ему бы руки оторвали, в том состоянии китайский механизм мертвяк, а собирает он новый механизм, красавчик, всех надурил.

Where to start...

Well it isn't bad for a first attempt, but it certainly wont win you any prizes, and the watch wont run well.

1) The watch didn't get any lubrication. All that cleaning will have removed some of the dirt, but it will also have removed all of the oils and greases.
2) The mainspring was not removed from the barrel and cleaned. I've got a little bit of experience here, so I know what I'm talking about, If this watch had genuinely been in the water long enough to look like that, then the mainspring will be rusted in to the barrel. It needs to be removed from the barrel and at the very least, cleaned, lubricate, and re-inserted into the barrel, but most likely if it is in that state, the mainspring will need replaced.
3) Very important. Any competent watch maker would re-fit the hands at the 12 O'clock position to ensure they line up correctly. If there is a date complication, you need to wind the mechanism to midnight so that the date just clicks over, then fit the hands at the 12 O'clock position.
4) The balance is usually sold as a balance. Not as a balance and balance bridge with jewel. You unscrew the retaining stud from the old balance, remove it from the bridge, and fit the new balance. Fair enough you *might* be able to source the balance and bridge from a scrap movement, but mostly, they come as a "balance complete" which is just the balance on the balance staff with the hairspring. In some cases, you can source the balance, hairspring and balance staff as separate items.
5) The balance jewels were not cleaned.
6) The other jewels were not cleaned.
7) Did I mention. Watches need to be oiled. This includes the balance jewels. Both of them. They need to be removed, cleaned, oiled and re-installed.
Not an easy task. You need to remove the shock springs, remove the jewels, split them into the two parts, clean the through hole jewel, lubricate the top of the non pierced jewel, re-assemble them, refit them and then refit the shock spring.
8) You need to test the watch with a time grapher, or time graphing software to set it back in beat and set the rate.


This is not a criticism, I'm simply pointing this out in case you, or anybody watching wants to improve their skills in this field.

ahhh, the days when rust would just wash right off and you'd spend a week fixing a £10 watch.

Aku sangat suka jam duluX dn skrg ini...yg pasti jam era dulu sbb quality membuatnya cukup teliti sbb handmade

[alextrishin]

Мне как часовщику тяжело смотреть такие видео, после той ржавчины в механизме вряд-ли бы они у него запустились. Разобрал одни часы, собирать начал совсем другие

[luisinatorres]

I don't know how he does it but he always finds treasures, and his magic hands bring them back to life

[dmhor]

Oh please... The mainspring hasn’t been removed and cleaned, the inside of the barrel would mean it would likely never work again in that condition, no ultrasonic bath, no apparent pitting or damage left by all that rust (you do realise rust = damage?!), no lubricants whatsoever in the reassembly - not even a greased gasket (what oiling chart did you use?), the crystal is flawless after a wee wash and the watch case shines like new without the aid of a polishing mop - and that’s just for starters. Not to mention ‘rust’ on a stainless steel back!! I wonder what a true artist like The Nekkid Watchmaker would make of this fairytale? And I suppose that’s the only time in your life you’ll ever be mentioned in the same sentence...

[michaelgray]

Boy you have a lot of patients to work on that it had a lots of small parts good job

[Fabbricatore]

what products to use to remove rust??? thanks

[jaimemontaner]

I see so many things wrong with this. He never dismantled the main spring, he is working on top of a towel that could introduce fibers to the movement, he never used the proper oil on the jewels, ect.

[mysticlv]

So many questions. You did not show 3/4 of the process, what were all the parts you actually replaced? What was the lubrication process? Where is the time graph? Did you really expect us to believe that you just happened to find this rebuildable skeletonized automatic on a Sunday morning stroll? How is the gold plating so pristine after all that rust? What an interesting procedure you have for "Casing" the movement. Your video is missing basic process fundamentals that even armature watchmakers or DIY modders use.

[Peter-xfjy]

funny how the glass is broken and gone but the pointer are still in place XDDDD

[kevinmonette]

I love skeleton automatics, that's what most of my collection consists of, it's a beautiful time piece

[joshsoper]

The fact he didn’t open the main spring apart shows it’s fact, if that was outside truly for an extended period of time it would need taken apart cleaned and greased
