Restoration a rusty $1 million Rolex watch

Restoration a rusty $1 million Rolex watch

[@markzockerzwerg8997]

First give away that this is bullshit: You can't open an oyster rolex with a case knife. The back is screwed on.

[@tommydaniels4711]

This is true. A tool is required to properly remove the back by unscrewing

[@ninjabobable]

@@tommydaniels4711 was definetely a tool that planted the fake crap :) :)

[@indie9-931]

You mean he might not get $1 million for it?

[@TonyBell-kn6nl]

His tools are rusty

[@mart_en]

First hint is that you don't find a million dollar Rolex on a garbage place, especially when you look for one ...

[@sbrons1]

I love how he walked a few random places real quick before returning to exactly where he planted the watches. Too funny 😂😂😂

[@DanD-yp7ni]

OMG! This is more fake than the ones where they restore Nintendo Gameboys, that coincidentally are also found in a dump. It's even the same formula, some dude wanders around a dump with a stick poking at things, finds an object to restore, takes said object back to their work area where they proceed to use medieval torture devices to disassemble and clean said object and restore it to something like pristine condition. If it were true, it would be truly amazing, but if one looks at the videos, including this one, it looks like that final assembly was actually filmed by disassembling the object, re-assembling it, and then causing the damage seen at the beginning of the video. The video sequences are then just swapped around to put the re-assembly at the end instead of the beginning. Nothing was actually fixed, it's just a trick of sequencing the video clips in the right order. I do actual watch restorations, and not only does this dude have terrible tools, he's not even working on a real Rolex. For that matter, it's not even a "super clone", it's just a cheap copy The giveaway to this part is the plastic movement retention ring. The day Rolex puts a part like that in the cheapest model they make will be the day that earth comes to an end. As for the video re-sequencing, look at the dial. The unspeakable things done to the dial during "cleaning" left marks that are suspiciously absent in the final shots of the "re-assembled" watch. Radial sunburst fume dials shouldn't be touched, let alone scrubbed. Restoring one is a nearly surgical procedure that takes ages and isn't carried out in a discarded tin can with a bit of water and a paint brush. Let's not even talk about the snap-on case back, Rolex case backs screw down, and require a special tool to loosen. Lastly, there is the matter of the bracelet. The least expensive authentic Rolex bracelets I can think of are generally valued at several thousand dollars. Even one with extensive damage would be taken apart and cleaned painstakingly. The bracelet and the case, being solid bits of metal can be buffed and re-surfaced by skilled technicians. If a link was damaged beyond repair it would be replaced. The pins and screws would just be replaced as a matter of course, they're essentially disposable. But the links would be treated like gold, if for no other reason than their salability to other restoration specialists in need of replacements. Parted out the bracelet might well be worth more than it's value whole. No one in their right mind would just bin an authentic Rolex bracelet like that. This is just a sham and a hoax. If you want to see what real watch restoration looks like there are numerous reputable creators on this and other platforms who do amazing work, go find one of them

Every time I go to dumpsite. I always found few kilo's of Uranium 235 & sometimes even Plutonium

[@thomcarr7021]

I once found the remains of Jimmy Hoffa,

[@michaelfinnegan4301]

Take a fake Rolex for a couple bucks. Make a clip of it as "restored". Destroy it, rub it in the mud and toss it in the dump. Take it apart on camera and edit the clip. Sounds about right.

[@JasonLee-es4gd]

If that's a million pound Rolex watch I'm James bond 😮😮😮😮

[@lawrencesword5183]

i am double oh eight swiftty sword james bond is so yesterday i am the flash pow hear and now💂‍♂💂‍♀💂

[@ulixxe1]

If that crap Is a Rolex, my car Is a Lambo

[@PriapismSD]

It's a Rorex

[@ulixxe1]

...and my car Is effecly a Lambo

[@alessandro3139]

That's not a normal rolex. It's a $1 million Rolex. So it's a little bit different I think.

[@homerzsimpson9698]

One million dollars for a Rolex???? Such an animal does not exist.

[@westboundbadger]

Paul Newman's Rolex Daytona went for over $17 million.

[@amfranisa864]

FAKE ROLEX, WITH A PLASTIC SECURITY RING!!

[@Williy_Nilly]

Right! Lol

[@alisha75020]

😝

[@rodscoolcreations9847]

Yup very true.. and the other rusted watch fake allso..as rolex never did a see through back

[@hiesig4927]

You all watched and commented anyway. Lots of views, lots of dollars: no fake

[@Paco77710]

Absolutely fake one and really bad quality one ! 20€ in Turquie! 🇹🇷

[@r.m.m.1706]

This guy must have a few different channels. I've seen this same watch restored, about 5 times already. Fix it, toss it back in the dump. Come back in a year, & "find" it again. Lather, rinse, repeat!!

[@parissettle9443]

Well, thats 12 minutes i can never get back..

[@Patric076]

🤣

[@Patric076]

🤣

[@autogatto70]

this time he found 2! I absolutely have to find that landfill!

[@Eric_G65]

Congratulations, you did $1000 worth of work on a $25 fake Rolex. Brilliant!

[@sharkzf6]

not a Rolex and not a million .... great job cleaning up that junk though ... very impressive!

[@frida1762]

This is when a $100 Rolex is refurbished for $200.

[@DGA2000]

There's not ONE THING "Rolex" about either of those watches. Million dollar my ASS

[@Patric076]

🤣 - Exactly right!

[@Shishwam]

Каким образом дорогие часы могут попасть на свалку, в нищей деревне ? ( подсказка : никаким )😁

[@musicisforrelaxing]

even if it IS fake, he sure seems to know what he's doing....pretty cool and interesitng

[@jesliemadsen]

I have repaired Rolex watches since 1966, and never seen that model.

[@mrcrazyjonpresents4312]

yeah right like someone is going to chuck away a 1 million rolex

[@Patric076]

🤣 - Exactly!

[@gweilospur5877]

What’s next? Finding a watch on the Moon?

[@OhNoNotFrank]

Hey! I've got a moonwatch! What gives??

[@romanialove9341]

nice, he found those fake watches exactly where he left them before starting to film. That proves that he has good memory...

[@matchboxmark8191]

Amazing job! Real or not who cares! How on earth did you know how to put that back together!

[@jeffdoomy9235]

This guy is really lucky, he manages to find a priceless Role every week.

[@CaliforniaEBRDude]

That movement even has invisible jewels in addition to being installed upside-down.

[@tracy_222]

Wow what a great job repairing👍🏻⌚️

[@norbertorivero8538]

So funny this guy finds Rolex everywhere.....

[@buddytweed7154]

That's nothing, every time I go to the dump. I always leave with 4 or 5 pounds of pure gold bars, platinum bars and silver bars. I don't even bother picking up the old Rolex I see laying around, the gold bars are much easier to process and then to fix an old Rolex.

[@alessandro3139]

From the initial scene in the dumpster you can already say that this is 100% legit

[@philipbrailey]

I’m going to walk through the garbage tip to see if I can find a Rolex. Oh great I found several.

[@rachidluildha2676]

This is an egg roll X?

[@douganderson7251]

Slippin Jimmy and Marco dropped that one.

[@linsayhenry920]

Get the proper tools.

[@nicolahiggins9746]

I have found loads on dump jewelery, silver, but it's good how he cleans it even if it is fake

[@ramizberisha5517]

Beautiful work done

[@Jonsson474]

What was the name of the channel again? Fake restorations?

[@jameskelly8506]

I'd like to know how a stainless steel watch and band rust?

[@gratmatassa5432]

Didn’t know stainless steel could rust like that, I like the way he used that specialised tapometer tool to press the caseback in, true professional, must get his details so he can service my Patek Phillipe 😂

[@MisterEC1]

Significantly different than "Wristwatch Revival".

[@guidoeehg1140]

I wonder what Marshall would say about this?

[@user-gk5oq7fz3r]

He restored his subscriber base.

[@Patric076]

A million dollar Rolex doesn’t rust. 😂

[@ricklett1688]

BRAVISSIMO!

[@antoniocorleone3986]

This guy keeps finding old Rolex’s. Yeah right.

[@antonioavvantaggiato2156]

bravissimo, ottimo restauro

[@josemanuelcastillo7460]

價值一百萬的勞力士,機心還有塑膠外圈?

[@vasilisarris6717]

The Cellini is the only division of Rolex that makes Quartz watches. Also the one that's seen in this video is a fake as well. Rolex doesn't make anything like this model where you can see the mechanism through the dial. There's no way that these pieces of trash can come close to $20.00 let alone $1,000,000.00

[@illupo4688]

hahaha I should have seen your comment before wasting my time on it.. I knew it's fake but the process is so enjoyable haha

[@kevins4229]

I love watching these just for the laugh! Snap back Rolex with a plastic movement holder. Hmmmm I love his MULTI tool aka his hammer for inserting the crystal and putting on the case back! This guy has precision tools!

[@PatrickTreacyAilesbury]

Did you get it from Mike the Pillow guy?

[@perskjelbred7099]

Great «Rolex»!!

[@geoffpowell8419]

Your bangin that million Dollar Rolex like it’s a fake one lol

[@ossianhaufe4671]

In what currency should the 1 dollar scrap be worth 1 million?

[@PeitoTakarai]

in first 3 minutes I was like "ohh really?" then in 27 minutes he puts plastic thing in the movement.... HELL NO HAHAHA!! but this video worth 400k views! nice one.

[@miguelmartincano4735]

Sin duda es un Trolex. No hay plástico en un Rolex...entre otras cosas.

[@raymond4146]

At least he has everyone's attention. LOL

[@timetodiving540]

Ah ces gens qui jettent des Rolex ! 😏🤭… en plus c’est en plastique les meilleurs 😂

[@knutknutsen5610]

This is most probably one of those almost identically looking “Lollex products” from China. To be able to make such fake products requires a quite sophisticated production even though it is not the real thing. What lacks is Precision. The Chinese can definitely reach the highest level of precision and quality given time.

[@dejannesic7807]

You can see from the plane that it is not real. But they are trying. Go ahead.

[@martingolding4951]

Lol, i dont think a watch cost that much money would be disposed of and rust like that this made in China with plastic fitments lol

[@washbaer]

Sowas aber auch. Auf unserer Müllkippe liegen immer nur Breitlings und Glashütte herum. Da bücke ich mich ja nicht mal.

[@williamgerber3649]

This was $ 25 from a guy on the street that sold them inside his over coat, "Pssst, hey buddy wanna buy a watch?" No plastic in a Rolex, it's may a grade 4 Chinese Folex knock off.

[@kamilk7968]

Congratulations🎉🎉🎉! You did great 500$ renovation job for 300$ fake Rolex 👌. Good job 🫡

[@Guidussify]

I'd prefer to buy the dumpsite where all of the great watches are waiting to be found.

[@speedracer2336]

Yea right!

[@nur-fueru-tube6174]

well guys, i bought it, not exactly 1 Million but a fair price

[@raymondsmyth5184]

Amazing to see

[@psidvicious]

I can’t do $1M but would you consider $500K?

[@youngturk5702]

This guy must be shearing sheep in the summer and painting sun clocks the rest of the year! Sandpapers, bristle brushes and rotary tools on a delicate presicion watch? A sonic cleaner is the only aparatus this should be handled with yet it would still not work right with all the crud etching their prınt on the bearings, shafts and springs. Total waste of time. Timex is the way to go.

[@barrybigelow4259]

It's all about the clicks so he can make money people should stop clicking on junk videos.

[@TonyMontana-xv4lc]

This video is for entertainment purposes.

[@larryodaniel2813]

Where do I begin? Already mentioned: no ultrasound cleaner unless off screen. No oil, grease, or new stuff. Never been able to restore dial with a brush. Never used a hand held power rotary tool on case. Or hammer a Rolex case together. Glass back, don’t think so. And one last thing, how many balance wheels and hair springs can survive brushing with a brush like that. Find a staff that is hard enough to withstand that abuse. It was entertaining and sowed or demonstrated how not to store one and have it work.

[@williamliang8141]

[@ericbauer1561]

Rolex with a front face complication?

[@andyb.9954]

A 1$ rolex watch from china maybe

[@averageguy2525]

Ha Ha Ha,Rolex watches would not fall apart like that,Even if laying in the dumps for a few years!

[@holgerheusner4424]

HI Guys , Nobody will find 1 one millionDollar rolex in the bush. But of course, this a nice restauration of a dirty rusty watch

[@bengaku]

Apparently watch repairers say these videos are filmed backwards so basically they take a new obviously fake watch take it apart and then edit and run video so it appears they have restored it .which is certainly more believable considering the way the do I half assed hack job

[@richiemx51]

NIce Quartz Folex lmao

[@dlfabrications]

1600$ USD new 2024 oyster perpetual Rolex not a million but still a nice watch.🤔🤔😁

[@StressFreeVIP]

Entertaining BS square with the use of a hammer - for 1 Mill Simbabwe $. Lol

[@markmcculloch2570]

What a laugh. Find a watch in the dump. Crap !!! By the way. I just found a used weed wacker at my local. Still got the price sticker on it. Anyway it’s a nice soothing video to watch. So great on you to dream this up. 99 persent of the world is fake.

[@marycastor6773]

Very rough with so called million dollar Rolex pieces

[@brpjana8080]

May be million Lira or Peso?

[@Jack44M]

He hammers the back onto the fake Rolex....BWAHAHAHAHA. He's a king alright.

[@jeredlyon9497]

I didn't know Rolex made open heart wrist watches and see trough backs. Also, the casings are screw backs not clasps types. Must be a Chinese knock-off.

[@-sdg-]

The way he used that hammer at the end proved to me this is a hack working on a hack

[@linsayhenry920]

I reckon that was a setup? Why are you using a rusty file. I thought you were a watch restorer. I would not use a rusty anything on a valuable watch.

[@Pamismiling]

Trokexs don't cost a million unless it's diamond encrusted

[@wujekcity]

its cool to see him transform these watches back to beautiful condition, but pretty sure that its a fake watch lol just the fact that he can take it apart with all those tiny little pieces means he does have some knowledge...but it cant be real

[@larryhatfield1588]

That watch was owned by a nigerian prince who would like his watch back.

[@sdcoinshooter]

Yeah, while that is an incredible restoration, no way in hell it’s a Rolex.

[@istvanbarna1185]

Not Rolex....made in Hongkong 😂😂😂...plastic ring?..

Lol!! 5 dollar at best when new

Sure... just walking over a landfill and find a few rolexes laying around. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@edwardwest5035]

He should have looked more closely in the rubbish. I saw a fake box and papers for the fake watch he had previously put there.

[@Betrue875]

A rusty Rolex? That's an oxymoron. Rolexes are made of non-ferrous metal.

[@olddoug8945]

LMAO.. It might be crusty, but it sure as hell ain't "rusty"
