[@jeff1176]

Is it just me, the parts of this watch when all cleaned up, look absolutely beautiful. The quality in making these parts really shows. I'm completely mesmerized by the fact that all these tiny parts actually tell time once all assembled.

[@Chipchase780]

The classic rose gold coloured omega movement is a thing of beauty to behold. So elegant but also so hard wearing and efficient. My “daily beater” is a 1970 constellation with the 564 caliber movement. Tough little machines.

[@WatchRepairChannel]

** ERRATA - This watch was from the 1960s rather than 1980s as stated in the video, apologies for any confusion ** There's an Omega watch hiding in that case somewhere :D The glass is pretty crappy and i'm not sure what we shall find with this movement. Join me as I put things right with this classic 1960's Omega Mechanical wristwatch.

[@suicidalkatt]

Cute little movement, I can't imagine working at that scale. I'm a little sad the face is a bit roughed up.

[@smrity8520]

Hi,i am from India,are you selling Omega refurbished one, genuine one.please answer?

[@PMELKUS]

So another words depending on the year of the watch the oiling from one to another could be different. I'm waiting on my parts to come in. I order the parts you showed in your video you did about buying parts off of ebay using the 9498 movement only I'm going to strip the movement down and put it back together (I hope) so I can learn. I'm a retired machine and have always love to tinker with things.

[@stevec5000]

While it's amazing to watch I just can't see the point of wasting so much time on an old mechanical watch!

[@glynmitchell2166]

Looked quite clean on the strip down considering

[@adrianbirkett594]

First thing I noticed was the dial washer missing!, love these watches Mark. They look like any other watch.... Until you open the back! And there you see extreme craftsmanship and beauty. Great video yet again. Thanks. Adrian ☘️

[@hormazdirani1431]

A few years ago I have been a watch repairer myself. It was quite a passion for me. Watching your video brought back some memories. Thank you.

[@nlq7844]

The more I watch these videos. The more I’m able to understand how a watch movement works and where each parts going and in which order. Thank you for making watch repairing relaxing.

[@Aco747lyte]

Giving that Omega watch to your wife was very loving, and such a beautiful movement! Altogether a very beautiful watch restoration of superb vintage Omega parts. I should imagine the watch is quite expensive now. I love all your videos, such a pleasure. Thank you! Have a sweet weekend, Wendi UK. 🌻

[@scotth6848]

Although this watch looked rough when you began, I thought the movement was in particularly nice shape and looked very good. This is a very attractive watch, the end result was excellent. Thank you Mark!

[@okihaveaname]

The best ASMR videos on YT. Watch repairing/building.

[@mikedillon6233]

I really like the way you did that slow motion kind of thing where takes the parts and put them back together. Reminds me of stuff I saw in the seventies as a kid! Thank you!

[@Jorge.ALXNDR]

I love the fact that you created this channel to promote your own business and then find yourself as a really good content maker and a teacher.

[@465maltbie]

That movement is amazing looking, and to think this was made before CNC machinery became the norm. Thanks for sharing. Charles

[@Andrew-J316]

Every time I watch your videos I am wishing I had your skills! The movement and beautifully made parts have aged well and is a testament to its quality Thanks for the video!

[@rayban8680]

Every time I watch this guy’s videos I’m in awe of his talent. It must take decades to know your way around watch movements like this.

[@207pioneer]

Absolutely wonderful! I can't get enough of your videos. I started watching your content years ago when I was in college. Needless to say, I was quite taken away by the beauty in this type of work - taken away from my homework certainly. Now, interest turn obsession, I'm and slated to go to watchmaking school this fall. I'm looking forward to the career change. Goodbye mgmt, hello tweezers, drivers and loupe.

[@sardiniasunrentals]

well 2 years later... how did watch making school work out for you?

[@galaxy606]

I don't understand why people would give this video thumbs down!?? I admire and appreciate your work.👍

[@CrazyPetez]

I enjoy watching you disassemble, clean, and assemble watch movements. The higher end movements like Omega and Rolex have a nice finish of the parts. The engine turning is alway more complete and nicer than run of the mill watches.

[@xrslive]

My entire life doesn't have anything to do with watches, but I really love this videos, I find them so relaxing and inspiring, for me this beautiful mechanical watches are the perfect example of what the human mind is capable of

[@stevebryan8]

Great that the inside machinations of an older watch are time capsules in themselves. Remarkable work and a remarkable video.

[@aaron2709]

Handsome watch. Love the simplicity... no seconds!

[@Schrottkralle]

And another remarkable Omega movement! Simple but of great quality!

[@GP-nn9to]

I love the fifties & sixties omega engines. I also enjoyed the animation! Wonderful work Mark... Thank you.

[@philedwards2213]

Thanks again Mark, that’s given me more incentive to get my 30T2 back together. Look forward to the next video.

[@teamwilliamsfw303]

The restoration of old watches is definitely the best format you can bring on the channel. I saw many other repairers produce such videos

[@chazzcombs]

I can't think of much that is prettier than a vintage Omega movement when it's all cleaned up. Simply stunning. You gave this fine timepiece a new lease on life. Loved the vid!

[@reynaldopicar3254]

Perfectly done, you're a real watch technician.

[@johnsrabe]

I really appreciate the bits of stop-motion. It adds nice texture. Thanks!

[@oohmeconkers1968]

Such a lovely movement on a tiny watch! I have a few omegas and have had the back off, never delved deeper though. Well done 👍🏼

[@MrZeke]

nicely done, brought a discarded watch back to service, wonderful! Thanks for posting!

[@dennisc.1189]

Nice old Omega watch, with a beautiful movement, it turned out great.

[@krzysztofhadala9126]

I must say, l am impressed. You’ve done a fantastic job. I like restoration jobs and bringing watches back to life. 👍👍👍

[@bruces12]

I truly enjoyed the video and the fact that you identify the parts you're working on...I have no idea how they are interconnected but it's still much better than leaving us folks entirely in the dark!

[@bartobruintjes7056]

Wow! Respect! Unbelievable that you can all those little pieces take apart and than reassemble.

[@OldSkoolF]

Omega has always been my favorite.. Even over Rolex and Breitling. The detail and finish are on par with the best. I bought my first Pie Pan in the 90's and have never been disappointed.

[@robertbaldwin177]

She was 50+ years old and partially melted yet the little thing now ticks to COSC chronometer accuracy thanks to your care and attention, well done, excellent work and great vid.

[@erwinb3412]

Thank you sir , for letting the public share in to this magical world of mechanical watches . It means a lot to me . Erwin , Belgium .

[@watso_]

Please I'm begging, more Vintage Omega's ! Love the content

[@savariaxa]

Great stuff love vintage watches especially Omega’s, Zenith’s and Cyma’s from the 50 and 60 ‘s 👍

[@cliffwheeler7357]

Absolutely fascinating. I really enjoyed this video for two main reasons. First was the level of skill and dexterity being shown. Second, the watch being worked on looks virtually identical to my 1968 Omega which my parents gave to me on my twenty first birthday. I still have it along with the box and papers and the receipt from Ernest Jones for £49-19-6. The crown on the featured watch looks larger than the one on my watch and the dial might be a slightly different diameter. Last year the mainspring failed, the first time the watch needed a repair after 51 years, a testament to the high quality of Omega watchmaking.

[@uapnz0698]

Thank you exactly what I needed in glorious HD. So relaxing too. Bravo Sir you're the Bob Ross of the time piece

[@eugenehvorostyanov2409]

Wow, it’s beautiful. Nice little effects here and there, stop motion animation, beautiful mechanics and hands performing accurate movements (more like a dance). ❤️👏

[@MyRetroWatches]

Love the box of Omega “scrappers “ Stop motion was great too , so much work involved in that. Also want that glass press!!

[@farooqriza4360]

Nice

[@Ricky.913]

Another video of watch restoration, that was nicely done. Your stop animation was an awesome touch.👍 thank you

[@MulaBatiswaHutagaol]

Not only you are greatly mastering the art of watch making and repairing, but you are also skillful in the art of video editing. I lesrn a lot from your videos.

[@kswaminathan5439]

A master craftsman at work. Love your videos Mark.

[@HorologyinSanity]

I really appreciate all of your videos. One of the best channels in the watch world.

[@KillerByte666]

Top new effects on this video ! Really appreciate ;) Thank you so much mate !

[@JohnBarrow1961]

Beautiful piece. I love the classic Omega watches.

[@atlas.edmilsondasneves]

Loved the parts animation. Nice touch!

[@jbbrabant]

Another great video. Thanks 😊 this watch is similar to one my father wore daily for many years. Thanks again & stay safe.

[@ihavenohair1975]

This is a superior channel, thank you for sharing your knowledge and talent

[@user2144]

Excellent tutorial. You have really stepped up the production values on your videos. Keep it up.

[@soundslikemusic2733]

Beautiful video! I just purchased a vintage ladys De Ville, With the guidance of your amazing video i will give it a try to restore it! Thank you so much for this video! Merry christmas and stay safe

[@jcj68]

Wow! Hats off to you, that's a lot of work and a lot of small pieces, just watching makes me nervous. I'd go crazy if I had to remove them and then I'll never be able to put it together again. Great job, looks fantastic!

[@SanchezZJoab]

AMAZING!!!, I LOVE THE WAY TO REPAIR WATCHES.

[@nlq7844]

Omg man that stop motion of all the parts coming together must have taken forever to do

[@plappin]

Great video. I just completed Level 1 of your watch course and I'm really loving it!

[@WatchRepairChannel]

Glad you enjoy it! Many thanks

[@jeffking981]

Fantastic work. The work of of a Master Craftsman.

[@ronaldspencer547]

Beautifully done!

[@user-fn1iu8yf5s]

Great job and great explanation for the viewer, thank you 😘😘😘😘

[@umutcanozturk6686]

Soooo satisfying. Thanks for you're labour.

[@franciscodeassisdesouza5348]

Excellent work, may God bless you !

[@martinallegromusic]

Excelent work & channel, thank you! Great stop motion, bravo.

[@TonyLong07]

Thanks for your videos. I enjoy them all.

[@randynovick7972]

Very nice and fun to watch. I imagine your wife is pleased to get great stuff like this from the parts bin!

[@darcybrawataakaontariostac6835]

Love the new effects

[@antonmarkov1635]

The effort that goes into these videos is amazing! I subscribed!

[@chieftd9340]

Great looking movement even before servicing. Nice video 👍

[@marioricciardi1982]

Terrific work, as always🔝

[@johnmoorefilm]

Great video Mark! Love the stop motion animations and music was perfect

[@Paddington2000]

It's nice to see you using the correct size screwdriver for the ratchet wheel screw, you see so many people on here chewing it up with a screwdriver that's way too small. Nice job.

[@MotoEPhil]

New camera and lighting setup (?), animation as well! Nice results

[@aleksandarmarkovic4992]

Very beautiful little movement

[@user-iw2mo7yu4d]

Weekly dose of watch making.

[@andrewgrace4410]

Beautiful color of the movement 👌🏾

[@illusiongame3778]

As always, I love the parabolic glass of Omega watches. In fact, I have one very old from 1950, but my father decided to change it to a quartz glass to avoid scratches, and honestly i prefer the old one.

[@Narwaro]

Those older Omega movements are extremely beautiful. Although the watch itself is pretty understated.

[@bjoernaltmann]

Love that stop motion arrangement

[@de_pin5835]

Another excellent video. Looks similar to my late 50s Omega

[@03flhtcui]

Well done Mark!

[@TroubadourJuggernaut]

cool animations, awesome touch for already awesome vids

[@J3006K]

Simply a beautiful movement

[@losangeles9320]

Brilliant! Love this!

[@mogwopjr]

I haven't finished the video yet, but I had to click the thumbs up for the stop motion. That was entertaining to see :)

[@140675jcs]

Mais uma vez , parabéns você é muito caprichoso.

[@NikConwell]

Love the stop motion animation!

[@TC-bj8pu]

Nice job and nice video! I’m sure your wife will love it!

[@craig2100]

I am really digging the stop motion
