Restoring My First Rolex Vintage Watch !!! The Rolex 6694 Caliber 1125

[@darcybrawataakaontariostac6835]

Rolex always have very nice finish work for their cases. Another masterful watch disassemble and reassemble

[@FrenchWatchCollector]

Yes they do

I love to see old things working like new again, so i startet to restore old watches myself. So far i had a few from the 60s with ETA movements, they are areal beauty. Nice to see some watches are truly timeless.

Welcome to this beautiful hobby. ETA watches are great to start

Yes, because there is a ton of Data for it like oiling charts and it is easy to get parts if something goes wrong :)

@@FrenchWatchCollector yes, truly awesome pieces of engineering.

[@Zairn12345]

I love that watches are small pieces of engineering that are reflections of time and your life all in one package. It's there for you to see... a masterwork of human engineering. The watch is reminiscent of us and also how time will never cease, as long as we care for it... it will care for us. It's a mirror of spirit in a way.

[@FrenchWatchCollector]

Well said Zairn

I love them because of my dad, he transmit me this passion. Also I love the fact that I can get back to life a watch that has two or three times my age, that has been on someother people's wrist with their history and their life

This is why vintage watches are so nice

[@poet.alhashimi]

I thoroughly enjoyed watching your Rolex watch restoration and service video. The way you meticulously disassembled and reassembled the movement with such patience and care was truly impressive. Your attention to detail and expertise in handling each component was evident throughout the process. I have watched many other watchmakers, but your skills stand out as exceptional. The precision with which you lubricated each part with just the right amount was a testament to your professionalism and deep understanding of the craft. Your dedication to preserving the quality and integrity of the watch is truly commendable. This video was not only informative but also a pleasure to watch. Thank you for sharing your remarkable work!

Great Hobby

[@NomadicPhoton]

I love watches because they offer a glimpse into the past. The timeless, apologies for the pun, machinery that works tirelessly day in and day out. A nearly self contained system, requiring only the motion of the wrist to maintain operation. In a sense, they’re almost like small living entity, themselves. They are engineering marvels and their repairability is refreshing, in such a throw away world. Plus, the fact that so many people don’t wear mechanical watches, makes it all the more interesting to wear them myself. I’ve begun my own watch repair/watchmaking journey, this past year. Thanks for the lovely, and illuminating videos.

Watches, why do I love them? I am an engineer by trade and have always been fascinated by engineering mechanisms and watch making is essentially engineering in miniature. I was taught to tell the time as a school boy with a Smiths mechanical watch and have never been without a watch on my wrist ever since. I am now retired and dabble with my own watches and I am currently making a skeleton clock. Keep up the excellent videos. Terry

I am an engineer too and I love watches for their small mechanisms

[@misterc9429]

When I was 7 yrs old, my grandfather passed away. He left in my possession a old and broken Frank Holt & CO pocket watch that his father had given to him. That was the beginning of my love affair with watches. I am not sure if its the watches themselves I love so much or the pure facination with the movements that make a watch possible. I will say I finally was able to find someone to fully restore the watch years ago and It puts a smile on my face everytime I wind it and hear that tic..tic..tic. One day I will hand it over to my son, along with all the stories the watch carries with it.

[@FrenchWatchCollector]

Always nice to have a family story with watches

[@ricellisfrost620]

Every watch carries the story of it's previous owner(s). I like to wear a vintage watch and think of their lives, how they loved the watch, and how it faithfully kept time for them. I love the watch now, and it's faithful of me, and hopefully there will be someone after me!

Beautiful result, thanks for posting. The dial scratching the date disk like that is very odd - I wonder if someone pushed down on the Rolex logo to hard and bent the dial in slightly? What I love so much about the old watches is with a simple clean and oiling they spring back to life and work like they were almost new again - go from 3.3ms beat to 0.0ms just like that

[@FrenchWatchCollector]

Not sure for the dial. It was just the two pins holding the rolex logo that were not perfectly flush with the dial backside.

[@stephencampet]

Hi, very good job! Nice caliber and nice service, congratulations! Concerning the crown stem, we can have the impression that a weld with tin was made? why not (...) but it's not a conventional practice, especially on a beautiful ROLEX watch.

Do you think since it appeared someone altered the stem that they may have replaced the dial at one time with a replacement or possibly repaired the dial? Maybe that would explain why it rubbed on the date wheel.

They are so incredibly varied in size, shape, color, usage, movement type, etc that there's a watch for every need and desire. 5. As an architect, there is a connection to me of something that is purely form follows function such as a watch. 6. They are a wrist-worn fidget spinner! 7. I could go on but I'll stop here......

Watches… why do I love them…… I call them “Earth Rotation Monitors (ERM)”. They tell us, periodically, where the Earth is in relation to the Sun. Does “time” even exist outside that definition? From my research, Science does not know definitively. It’s perplexing, and it’s one reason I love ERMs. They are mysterious and linked to the secrets of creation itself. The small machines that drives them are fascinating! But for me, the dial is the crucial element of attraction. You must love the dial of your ERM. It must make you smile and admire it each time you check where the Sun and Earth are in their space dance. Precious metal or plastic, a watch must stir your admiration and bring you joy, and just slightly, fire your imagination.

[@FrenchWatchCollector]

Why do I love watches? . Well, I love them for what they can do! I love “tool” watches. . Here’s a funny story about a Rolex. For a time, I was the high bidder (eBay) on a Rolex GMT Master, all gold, c. 1981. . All gold?-Not my style! Mais, for $300 (three-hundred dollars), I said “Ok”. . I had the bid for about an hour, c’est vrai! The gold Jubilee bracelet was somewhat scratched on the bottom & clasp, but a good polisher like yourself could make that watch shine! .
