A 1980s Rolex GMT Master Pepsi - WATCH SERVICE & RESTORATION - Cal.1570

In this video I strip down, clean, review, service and restore this Rolex GMT Master cal.1570 from the 1980s.

Apologies for getting the audio mix a little wrong in this one - hope it doesn’t annoy you too much. Also, the strap was put on upside down but was corrected after 😁😁

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

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.

[mortensuperlite]

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.

I arrived here from the Wristwatch Revival channel. I absolutely love watch restoration videos and your channel has 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!!!!

You said it doesn't look new by any means, but for me that I have no idea of this profession, it was SUPERLATIVE!

[ThatDPrintGuy]

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.

44 approved Rolex repairers disliked how you made them look like rough fools.
Beautiful work as always Mark.

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.

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.

[ahmedmahjoob]

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

[marekeos]

There is NOTHING like coming into work and seeing a new vid by Watch Repair Channel. Looks like today I'm starting my actual work duties 30 mins late!

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 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.

[leemartin]

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 .

[spazzful]

As a watchmaker my self, i find your vids very soothing, ASMAR like, i just love it.

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!

[jbbrabant]

Thanks Mark for sharing yet another superb video. I enjoy watching you work with patience & skill. Stay healthy and safe in these difficult times.

[palaublue]

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.

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 .
