Client Quoted $12,000 For This Repair!? - How Watches Are Professionally Restored

[@eduardlast23]

This is insane because im a welder steel / manganese mostly but this level of work is art thank you again for letting us see the ins of the watch world

[@ariel7503]

How would you recommend getting into being a welder? I’m considering it and don’t know where to start. UTI?

[@eduardlast23]

You can do it through an institute i did it through my job

[@dannysimenauer5745]

Johnny is quite an artisan, and knows his craft. Even more fascinating is he makes it look so easy!

[@Peterpic]

@@eduardlast23 insane tech is in this industry I’ve seen people create their own CNC programs to make wheels.. absolutely awesome to watch in person! And very similar jobs just a much smaller scale

[@JohnnyLoniya]

Love your channel with so many stellar watches! For me the AMZWATCH’ watch is my favorite. Keep the videos coming. Thanks.

Peter, this was magnificent content and I totally appreciate the effort. I wish we have this type of setup in Singapore as it would do incredible service to the watch community. I learnt so much!

Peter, at 24:26 you could see a little ding that was unfilled. Was that on purpose or was it missed? Thanks *EDIT* right before you put your thumb over it

[@richardmillewatch]

missed

[@itsP0rky]

It was funny because he's talking about OCD at that point.

[@richardmillewatch]

@@itsP0rky well we all humans

[@Peterpic]

There was roughly a 2mm wide dent there, this required a massive amount of infill.. this was actually the part of the video that wasn’t supposed to make it😂 I have dozens of clips that go into videos. Took me about 5 seconds to lap it and polish it out small divet was taken care of

[@junito1008]

Do you restore stretched jubilee bracelets?? (Change the pins)

[@Peterpic]

I do yes depends on the bracelet starting point though, if it needs laser fill and tons of extra work it’s not worth it labor cost is crazy

[@junito1008]

@@PeterpicThe bracelet and the watch is in a superb condition considering that it’s a 1980’s watch…do you have a number so I can send you some pics and then, you give me a quote? I have OCD like you 😁 and that’s the only thing that bothers me.

[@mrbpots]

I have to ask, did you notice the mark on the side of the daytona case at the end of the video when you were showing it? looks like you tried to rub it. I am I wrong about this?

[@Peterpic]

Yes, I couldn’t see it with the naked eye as you can see in the video I noticed it under the macro lens once I got them wiped down after picking them up. Tiny divet, quick lap and buff and poof it’s gone it was a huge dent in there!

[@emperador3292]

Kind of cheesy Rolex hollow out the gold inside that case I never knew that I thought it was solid!😩

I always knew it was just not the reason for it 😂 but it makes sense as a buffer zone! Gold is soft

[@MottingerWatland]

Ever since I bought a watch from MAMACOO, My question is if it's this hard to tell them apart, what is the point of owning an authentic watch?

[@OakLawnSpeedShop]

Micro tig welding

I didn’t even realize that level of restoration was possible. Thanks for the video!

[@majedalessa8376]

A watch can only be polished 4 times in its lifetime. I think this is an OVER statement unless your watch is completely trashed with dings and scratches

[@Peterpic]

I think he's 100% on point, you have to remember when done correctly 4 times is a lot, when done incorrectly and you grind out a ding you just removed so much material that your lugs are almost gone haha

[@majedalessa8376]

@Peterpic a professional will not try to remove dings. Polishing should be limited to returning shine and luster in addition to removing light blemishes. No need to remove metal, dings and deep scratches should be either laser welded or left alone.

[@wristwatch-trader7237]
