Restoration $4000 Breitling watch after motorcycle crash | destroyed Superocean Heritage Chronometer

[@sjcsouza38]

Everytime I see one of your videos, I miss my Father (may G'd keep him at His side) saying to me: "There are no hard tasks, there are the wrong tools!"... How beatiful may be the work of a skilled watchmaker, well equiped and with an artistic eye for videomaking!!! Thanks a lot for your dedication to us, your fans!

[@Starfireaw11]

Your father obviously never worked on an Alvis Saracen...

[@SABohm]

May he Rest in Peace!

[@ashishkoirala8356]

that's a great quote

[@alesantos2650]

Verdade. 👏👏👏👏

[@chinaman1]

You spelt "God" wrong you heathen!

[@ioanpiscupescu1583]

I was expecting another fake 'restoration' video. Boy, how wrong I was. Your craftmanship, both as a watchmaker, and as a video producer is unmatched.

[@RedDeadRestoration]

Thanks 😊

[@Jehag2]

Indeed.

[@michelsaelens4966]

Love your tools and your socks too.

[@iKonographi]

That Milanese bracelet is a thing of beauty. Stunning on the wrist and adds real presence 👌🏻

[@pssnyder]

I feel like every time I watch one of these videos I see you use a tool I never knew existed to fix a part I've never heard of...you are truly a master craftsman.

[@alanparks7919]

I can’t love my Breitling SuperOcean 1500m any more than I do. Bought three Rolexes, and wear the Breitling all the time. Brilliant video, as always.

[@BojanBojovic]

What I find incredible is how this video was created, and this being taken for granted is the best part of it, first as it looks and feels so natural you do not notice it, and second how difficult and time consuming it is to create something like this, all those camera angles and shots while actually doing this restoration, which is by itself a difficult and complicated job. Simply magnificent!

[@RedDeadRestoration]

Thanks 😊

[@HarshitMishra89]

I agree.. i would either throw away the camera or the watch..!! Hell lot of patience..! 👏

[@cnsult]

Your 7:00 Flux Capacitor was great! I have my machine ordered now.

[@MrHardhatharry]

Beautiful work! You truly are an artist at watch restoration. It is obvious you take pride in your efforts.

[@MrFilimn]

What an incredible set of horological tools you have,and you have the skill and knowledge to use them all, fine fine work.

[@daveyoder9231]

Nevermind the critics. A little humor is often needed as an antidote to our overly serious world. Great job!

[@RedDeadRestoration]

Thanks 😊

[@TB-qk2ym]

You narration was stunning, also loved the stupid trick where you reordered the bezel and crystal

[@nickjanssens]

The owner or new owner must have been overjoyed when they saw the watch in its restored state. A very watchable video.

[@deweybrightside2276]

I don't know if I've ever seen a watch that "worked" where being inoperable would have been preferable. What a basket case...and what a restoration. Truly remarkable. Thank you.

[@peejpom]

My physical ability to do work like this has long gone but the pleasure I got from watching this is immense, very well done , an expertly produced video.

[@jwbowen]

I appreciate the mix of highly-specialized, single-purpose tools, and toothpicks

[@husseinjemal3983]

It’s so impressive watching a real craftsman at work. Thank you for taking your time to make these wonderful videos

[@YUHJKT]

Geeze, what a beautiful watch. It's great that there are talented craftsman like you to do this. Nice video.

[@tomcassingham6322]

Unbelievable restoration! The owner must have a lot of luck, to survive the crash and now have this beautiful watch as a reminder. Such a cool story... pass this one on to the next generation with an amazing story to tell. Thanks for the video! Love your work

[@ХорошийЧеловек-ш2л]

IFf… he’s still alive!..

[@tritech]

The Superocean Heritage with the chain bracelet is my favorite watch ever.

[@mehrtabandeh859]

Master and the Lord of the restoration of mechanical automatic and non automatic vintage and new watches, excellent job again with the much better tools than a year ago. Lots of Respect’s

[@KPA78]

Gorgeously restored Brietling! From heartbreak to happiness. The entire process was exceptionally captured on video. Well done, sir-I appreciate your talents, both in watch repair and video work.

[@johnhebert3855]

Nice. The main lesson I learned from all this is that motorcycles and Casio G-Shock watches are a better combination than with fine mechanical watches.

[@RedDeadRestoration]

Absolutely 😁

[@Badonicus]

Im sorry Apple theres a new King in town That reveal at the end sir was stupendous. The music, the lighting, the camera pans Top marks.

[@lazybone135]

the amount of specialised tools and equipment you have for every little piece is fascinating

[@Pipemonkey]

O’ my lord, your work is on another level. The finished product could be passed as brand new. What most of us seem to forget is how tiny these parts actually are, you camera work makes it look easy because everything looks so big, but in actual fact my eyes would be bleeding under the strain. Absolutely fantastic work buddy, well done 👍🏻 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@RedDeadRestoration]

Thank you 😊

[@jimferry4751]

Wow, you make it look easy. I lost my Hamilton in a motorcycle accident. This watch came out great. I hope the owner is ok.

[@BeHappyWithUrLife]

Today I made the choice, the choice to start restoring and cleaning watches as a hobby. Timepieces are my passion and your content confirms my need and drive to do what you do here. Thanks mate!

[@robertlassiter907]

And this is why I only watch this watch restoration channel. Very well done sir. I do believe that you have upped your game a couple of notches. Thank you for sharing!

[@stephenw1799]

Loved this vid, thank you. I just received the latest 42 version of this watch with the Kenissi movement (a birthday gift to myself 😁) and I love it.

[@herbiesnerd]

My God I’m in such awe. Transfixed. The precision. The tools. Amazing. I want to buy an old broken vintage watch to send to you.

[@ianpluves]

Not often I comment on videos but, this one is worth it. Very cool restoration and I like the 'silent videos' with subtitles explaining to those not involved in watch repair what you're doing. Superbly shot and loved the cool music on the outro. If I'm being fussy the cost of parts would be useful - just a guideline for those that love the smaller details. Great work.

[@Majutsushi88]

Agreed! Excellent videos, but I'd love to know the financial part too.

[@impulsivecrafting]

Free, obviously. He uses a time machine!

[@Anemoia.Tea56]

I like watching your videos when I'm in any sort of discomfort. Just so soothing watching the art of restoring the intricacies of a watch at play.

[@PAULSWorld131]

Out of this world. This exceeds Netflix by far

[@Rukyr99]

The love and care that went into this project is beyond me. Moved me to tears and also in awe about the original watchmakers. This is what KZbin is about. Beauty in perfection.

[@Hnahumcm]

This is one of the most beautiful watches I’ve seen. I love it!

[@jorgengeesink2538]

The absence of talk or music is so good! Total zen relaxation chill out soothing at ease.

[@PaulParkinson]

Watching this video fairly took my breath away. I am honoured to be the custodian of a Breitling Superocean Steelfish (A17390) which is nearly as nice as this Superocean Heritage.

[@TheDjcarlos67]

"honoured custodian"... it's a nice watch that's all

[@ChannelMagnum]

@@TheDjcarlos67 It's a way of appreciation. You have absolutely no right to nag about that.

[@stasconscience6391]

This watch looks like after bike crash. And good job with this restoration!

[@countessoflemongrab]

Your videos are so therapeutic! Have you done, or would you consider doing, a video showing all of the tools and machines you use? I would love to know more about the four pots of goo (grease? lubricant?) and all of the tiny pokers and grabbers and spinny things and clicky things. A full tour of the workshop would be ideal. 😅

[@countessoflemongrab]

Oh, and maybe a breakdown of all of the parts of a watch! All of those tiny pieces serve a purpose, which is amazing to me.

[@eugyscan]

Afaik there should be grease (for the main spring) and synthetic oils with different viscosity

[@JamieBainbridge]

I don't usually like machining pattern but the inside of this watch looks even nicer than the outside!

[@tugrulguvenerturun5854]

Amazing usage of staking srt and jacot tool. Your videos not so only nice, also educational and phenomenal. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us.

[@bt3750]

The reveal at the end was easily your best yet.

[@lowerquadrant4647]

Wow, this watch looked like it were toast. Great work bringing it back to life! Hope the owner was okay in the end.

[@KowboiStreams]

Thats is beautiful watch. Breitling has become one of my favorite watches. That movement 👌 👏

[@nathanscott7910]

Whoever it was that designed the first watch like these was a genius.

[@greggani4716]

Martini, Cigar, and your videos! Perfection!!!

[@gusreyes5447]

Those tools are mind-boggling. Great work in what you do. I hope also that the owner is all right from the motor crash.

[@mikemc330]

“Polishing the pivots of the gears“… You are definitely OCD and I love it!

[@MrBlacksford]

Inventing the time machine to fix the watch.. that's epic 😉

[@mikeehinger6566]

Technician, surgeon, artist.

[@MetalRestorationBho]

I respect everyone who were involved in this , Seriously the best piece that I' ve ever seen on KZbin ,HATS OFF TO WELL ALL ! LOVE YOUR VIDEOS !!!!😌😌

[@RedDeadRestoration]

Thanks mate 👍🏻😉

[@GuillaumePoulin]

Amount of precision tools needed and knowledge for this repair is off the charts! Solide!

[@garysimpson8860]

Love watching these videos but most off us couldn’t even afford the bracelet let alone have the watch rebuilt but that aside what a skill you have and I’m always mesmerised watching you do your work 👍

[@myleftthumb2294]

The MIlanese mesh strap was an excellent choice. Wow! Really nice.

[@jco1298]

Love your work! Looks like serious road rash, I hope the rider/wearer was ok.

[@joep5146]

That answered my question. Since I don't have a time machine, I'll need to buy a new bezel to replace my scratched one. Nice work on the stuff you could recondition. Having the tools (and knowledge, of course) is everything.

[@constantine5312]

Your colorful socks, the flux capacitor and the trash can scenes are smile factors. The attention to detail, absolute care of the of the tiniest pieces, and the before and after images, i love this KZbin channel ❤️

[@Abishek_Muthian]

Your repair work seems more valuable than the watch itself, I hope it finds a great owner.

[@timotey1987]

Я аж засыпаю по ваши восстановления! Так всё классно 🤗😊👍

[@alexzh7091]

Не спать! Самое интересное пропустишь!

[@globeztar]

That is goosebump material right there. What a beautiful craft. 10/10

[@rowdystrongarm463]

The flux capacitor time machine is the coolest thing ever!

[@MeganChic]

These videos are so relaxing to watch

[@mrdmahesh]

Excellent craftsmanship, beautiful photography, and stunning background score!! Keep it up, man!! You are a gem 😀

[@mrdmahesh]

@text me on telegram...@onlyRedDead ha ha ha... good one and get lost 😡👿

[@SSmith-fm9kg]

Great Job! Relaxing to watch. The line from Batman comes to mind: "Where does he get all those wonderful toys?"

[@TheBeardedWatchmaker]

Wow, just wow! The production and camera work is next level and I’m loving the new polishing machine. You show new skill in every project you do.

[@johnzo4776]

Tools are more then the watch. Great video.

[@michaelskinner896]

Incredible restoration. Beautiful watch, and so worth restoring. Also, the outro video is amazing and looks very professional.

[@cerij4242]

I didn't realise the the Breitling had a ETA 2824 and it looks so small with that spacer fitted, a lot of money for a watch without an inhouse movement. You really did a great job repairing it, I thought something in the balance, pallet fork area was broken when I saw it run away and stop and run away again.

[@cerij4242]

@@baze3SC Whatever floats your boat I suppose.

[@MrELSRMARQUES]

Wow !! Que trabajo tan más admirable , este señor cuida todos los detalles. En reloj quedó como nuevo. Lo mejor es la máquina (flux capacitor) esa que desaparece las piezas dañadas y aparecen las nuevas 🤣🤣🤣🤣 , saludos !

[@amandabaynham-swales9222]

The collection of tools are magnificent to look at! Such finesse and detail…

[@jctothel]

Wooo! Love it when I get the notification saying you’ve done a new video! Makes my day!

[@RedDeadRestoration]

Hope you liked it 😉👍🏻

[@Druid_Plow]

I'm gunna be honest, Marshall over in wristwatch revival holds my attention better. I'm no watchmaker so the way he narrates the work and explains the parts and tools is really great for me. Loved the time machine though.

[@Amon4109]

As usual, true craftsmanship, i would expect no less from RDR :) Keep up the good work :)

[@whip-its_dad4239]

Hello , at first I thought watching a guy fix a watch would be like watching a guy bait fishing but it was fascinating to see you work . Thank you for posting such great work .

[@1959Berre]

I would prefer Breitling over any other brand, including Rolex. Such a beautiful timepiece. Zero, zero, zero on the timegrapher... Perfect!

[@joep5146]

I'm with you! I have 4 Brietlings, 0 Rolex, and I'm always looking for my next Brietling.

[@nolanmclaws3527]

Sketchy

[@conscience-commenter]

Very satisfying to see that Breitling put back to its original beauty. When the crystal came off and the face was good , everyone knew it was a keeper . I hope the motorcyclist survived to see his or her timepiece restored to it's original luster .

[@frxa2739]

Your tools are something else! watchmaking always amazes me and you make look so simple. thanks for your vids.

[@khikhanoseb1204]

I loved the ending part ...Nice showcase

[@loveobd628]

Wiedermal ein nahezu perfektes Video und eine ebensolche Restauration von dir. Tolle Uhrenwahl, tolle Videoarbeit und ebenso eine tolle Uhrmacherleistung. Mir hat vielleicht ein bisschen der Wristshot am Ende gefehlt, denn das Ergebnis kann sich wirklich sehen lassen! Von der Arbeit, sowie dem Ergebnis her und mit diesem perfektem Ganglauf, für mich, die vielleicht beste Restauration von dir bis jetzt. Beide Daumen gehen wieder nach oben 👍🏻

[@RedDeadRestoration]

Danke dir, die Uhr wirkt mit 46mm an meinem Handgelenk doch etwas groß daher habe ich auf den Wristshot verzichtet 😉

[@frankkorn7107]

Das mit der Flux Capacitator ist doch ein Scherz? Die Lünette ist doch gegen eine neue gewechselt worden.

[@32aque]

That Flux Capacitor works like a dream.

[@gonzalomcordovez]

That was an insane restoration!! Congrats man!! Fantastic job 👏

[@hiphopheritage]

Your tools are amazing, as your work.

[@azizaa5049]

wow! Great job man.. I love timepieces restorations.. I look at them as an artwork that should be alive forever! I wonder how long real work time does this process consume!!

[@robalexander7348]

Excellent restoration on a beautiful watch, the owner will be thrilled on its return. Wonderful video, Thank you 👍

[@theghit]

Incroyable, cette rénovation, difficile à imaginer quand on voit l'état de la montre au départ. J'adore Breitling, par contre je suis surpris de la taille du spacer, le boîtier est disproportionné par rapport au mouvement, c'est une 46 ? Merci pour vos vidéos d'une incroyable qualité, ça doit vous demander autant de temps à filmer / monter que la rénovation elle-même :)

[@MrLameStar]

A17320 le numero de reference c'est bien 46mm

[@alexajh88]

Superb restoration. Visually stunning also. 10 / 10. In this age of programed obsolescence, this restores faith in humanity for me.

[@Boomheyyou]

And I hope the person that got in the motorcycle accident is OK

[@dafa8592]

Wow I can't stop myself not watching till end fantastic job 👍👍👍👍👍

[@tompepper4789]

I loved the attention to the time machine! Not often to see a repair due to kinetic damage. Great video. Did the hand of the rider heal as well as the watch?

[@allthingsgilmour]

I have to say, I absolutely LOVE the Flux capacitor! Nothing brings back the radiance of a fine watch like time travel! 👍

[@jonnenne]

Interesting how it was in such good shape under the destroyed crystal. How do you keep track of all the different small parts? Like if one gear is 25 and another 27 tooth so visually they might look the same

[@melody3741]

They might look the same but they won’t fit in the same place. If you understand the (far more simple than you expext) mechanism of a watch you know there is only one part per function, and things like the diameter of the wheel, the position and size of its pinion, and the pivot size all makes it really obvious. I as a beginner despite not organizing the wheels never had an issue putting them back in the right place, although it is a little bit puzzle-ish to know which order they go back in as some are pinion on top and some are pinion on the bottom

[@melody3741]

So they cover each other up making you have to assemble in order

[@xmasinpacific]

There aren't that many parts really - this particular movement is quite modern in construction which lends it self to repair quite nicely. You don't have to count the teeth - wheels tend to go bigger to smaller from the barrel down to the escapement. Screws are generally similar - occasionally color coded - plate screws for example will the the same across the entire 2800 series of movements. Not sure why you would re jewel the bridge a new one could be gotten easy enough; not that you couldn't do it, but a bridge is probably only 20 dollars. You send it back to the factory and its replaced not re jewelled. With an auto oiler you can oil the escapement without removing the cap jewel and incabloc shock protectors. Clearly from the video a new bezel insert was installed but not shown.

[@themrmarkprior]

Best. Restoration. Videos. On. The. Planet. Incredible content. Captures every nuance. LOVE IT.

Thanks 😊

[@abuturky4]

You got my respect It is very rare in this time to find something perfect such this Professional work fixing the watch And amazing filming and editing skills WELL DONE 👍🏻 I would prefer a leather strap though

[@hansjorgbruck8874]

hätt ich im Leben nie wieder zusammengebaut bekommen ,alle Achtung, Respekt

[@rztrzt]

Beautiful watch! Would be interesting to know the price of each replacement part.

[@rztrzt]

@tacfoley So those parts are probably over a thousand pounds...

[@cdronk]

Excellent restoration video. This Breitling is one of my very favorite watches. You did it justice.

[@ronniewilson6597]

Wow, the watch looked new just before it was damaged. Looks like who ever was wearing it was involved in something serious. I hope they where ok 🙏🏻🤦‍♂️👍🏻

[@amcluesent]

I'd guess came off motorcycle based on impact damage plus the gouging on crystal

[@rztrzt]

@@amcluesent I thought exactly the same thing.

[@MostlyIC]

Wow!!!, really liked seeing how a pivot journal is polished, cute machine, very delicate operation,

[@ditzydoo4378]

Looking at the sheer amount of road-rash on this poor Breiting, one must wonder how much of the owner was wore away similarly like a pencil's eraser??? o~0
