Super Scratched Rolex Yacht-Master 40 116622 | Polish Refinish Restoration [ASMR] | Watchtrader & Co

[@PSIHUNTER00]

That feeling when you have just the right tool for a job.

[@1958david1]

and the knowledge.

[@127815gavf]

Mainly, there is no point in having the tools and not knowing how to execute them.

[@perfectiom3718]

​@@127815gavfthat is the most absurd argument i ever heard.

[@ciuwandy9238]

Best feeling ever

[@longinesmuratwerkmaister]

It has a different style. He polished the glass without dismantling it. He did not disassemble the tube. He followed a different method for the bracelet. He did not remove the upper curtain of the blazer. Still, it is a good job.

Those are stunning results, fabulous work!

[@RocketDog73]

Such an art using sticky tape with rubber gloves on. A skilled workman 👍

[@truthrevealed9293]

Before i could continue...in just a few minutes in i knew this guy was a perfectionist. Great work, i enjoyed this polishing... the music is well balanced out with the video.

[@PoltergeistWorks]

He did a great job but I would not call him a perfectionist - the tell is at the end where he puts the watch together, pressing the springbar of the clasp with his nail scratching the edge of the clasp, the same goes with putting in the springbars connecting the watch to the case - pressing them against the case while compressing = making scratches on the inside of the lugs. Factory finish is PERFECTION, this is just a VERY GOOD job ;)

Glad you enjoyed it Mark

[@marcn8750]

@@Watchtraderuseful video. Thanks. What was the pink spray coating for?

[@Velo.kavousi]

Amazing job, there is something insanely satisfying about restoring a thing back to its glory.

[@ianmedium]

In your videos you say to a customer about polishing and it almost feels casual and then you see this and realise it is anything but! Welding new material to cover the divots in the case, then polishing so that all the original lines and crispness of the case are maintained and then, that Platinum bezel! It is both the thing I love and loath most about the yachtmaster! Love it because it is a wonderful look and loath it because that sandblasted finish is so easy to scratch! What an artisan the chap is. What is wonderful as well is that the owner really wore the watch, no safe queen this one, worn as a Rolex should be worn! Best video you have made thus far, thank you!

[@Watchtrader]

Thanks for the positive comment. It helps when you guys let us know the kind of content that you’re into. Like you said, it’s nice to see a pre loved watch that’s been worn regularly without hesitation from it’s owner. Glad we could share the process of bringing the watch back to it’s former glory.

[@justinfitch4851]

Man that was awesome to watch such a work of art much respect for the skilled polisher!! I have been so scared to wear my yacht master because of scratching it now I know wear to take it to get polished! You have a new subscriber!

[@ianmanfren1003]

Fascinating how much work goes in to polishing! That lad has definitely done that before!!

[@vinnyboombatzi2889]

This gentleman has some extremely professional horological skills. Supremely satisfying to my senses.

[@MrLukkar]

I am deeply impressed by the confidence in handling with it, the skills, the machinery and the final effect ❤

[@marcjy5228]

Much respect. That is some crazy skills and workmanship to restore the watch back to shine. I could never do anywhere as close to a good job like this piece here. And the sheer amount of tools and machineries to perform the job can seem daunting but man, you're awesome to masterfully use them to perfection

[@RadekW-]

It's unbelievable how many machines you have.

[@user-km8ez6ez1v]

That's a very professional job. This guy knows what he is doing.

[@Deef3lony]

Omg, absolutely amazing !

[@Klacto1]

And now I know…phenomenal….love your craft …it is worth it to have it done right…and you have all the tools.❤

Just bought a yacht master, very reassuring to know there’s craftsmanship of this quality in the UK. Great watch.

[@Treetopflyer777]

Absolutely incredible!! Unbelievable skill and craftsmanship.

[@ThePropbuster]

For a minute I thought the bezel was going to be pink….lol. Awesome work mate, great skill.

[@johnchu210]

If only seeing "before & after" I'd probably say Wow but after seeing the "middle" the process I'd say Holy Cow. I really appreciate it now

Beautiful work.. great craftsmanship.. could the small pins be rebuffed as well, that would be perfect

[@SuperDodoe]

um that would be a bit obsessive...no?

[@gshockbabe6144]

One word:Impressive.

[@pedalwithus]

Brilliant video. I just picked up a 2014 YM it was beat to chit when i saw it in the showroom, after 2 days with the watch maker it looked like this restoration. Perfect.

[@127815gavf]

Excellent, perfect service, congratulations.

[@ashtechs9303]

Such a beautiful watch. Doesn’t seem to get the love that others Rolex sports models do. Great skill on show. !!

You’re right, however, the Yacht-Master 40 has been picking up steam

[@JasonTheWatchGuy]

Incredible work! Refinishing watches is genuinely one of my favourite things to do!

[@Watchtrader]

Thanks for tuning in Jason 👊

[@HenryPerez_royal_hp]

Jason are you in the US? Do you have references? The bezel on my 16622 has an incredibly irritating scuff or what almost appears to be a polish mark on the sandblasted part of it, bought it that way and it drives me INSANE. I took it to Rolex AD and he told me it wasn’t worth it as they wouldn’t just service the bezel, it’s a “complete “ service, of course 🙄 which means expensive. They basically told me to leave it alone as it’s not that bad

[@N.a.syed.]

According to the watch. It took 10.5 hours to polish. Incredible amount of time, every second beautifully placed. Well done.

[@stealdst]

Are you sure you trust it? It may have drifted almost half a second within those hours and still be within its chronometer certification. That’s why I like quartz

[@submariner144]

​@@stealdst@stealdst I'm a watch restorer and jeweler. Sometimes it took me more than 18 hours to polish ONE watch. It's not that simple even with the right tools. Sometimes, we also have to do some manual work (without power tools) for filing, sanding, reshaping, etc. And for brittled vintage watches or expensive watches like Patek Philippe, A Lange Sohne, etc. it will take more time because we need to be extra careful.

[@stealdst]

I was making a (bad) joke about how a mechanical watch can drift a few seconds in a day, not doubting the time it takes for something like this. I don’t like quartz watches either 😂

[@allaxamana]

Great video! It was so fascinating to watch. I truly enjoyed watching your craftmanship/expertise in getting that watch looking immaculate again.

[@Watchtrader]

Glad to hear it

[@victorcotai3874]

The most professional full watch restoration I have ever seen ! The level of detail and superb craftsmanship is a sight to behold, furthermore, I was very impressed with the amount and quality of the tools/machinery used in the video... I would love to send my dad's (who has sadly passed from complications and poor care from the doctors who were charged for his care) Omega Seamaster Chronometer w/Omega Caliber 1120 Movement (1995 James Bond version) in all stainless steel (36mm version) w/White Dial...Ref: 2552.20 If it's not too expensive to do so, I would like to do a full restoration. Again, it has more sentimental value to me than physical value (although it is worth in the neighborhood of $3K to $4K) It would be a great watch to pass it on to my Son. Oh by the way, I'm in the Greater Danbury Connecticut USA currently, so the watch would have to be shipped unless there is an excellent watchmaker in this part of the woods... Thanks gents.

[@johnburgess6572]

Nothing like a gifted professional

[@Kalmar917]

Man, that watch has been lived through. It is the way.

[@giorgioc.6673]

Prof level! Fascinating !!

[@pablozorro3507]

A joy to see meticulous skilled workmanship bringing a watch back to like-new condition. I would never have realised all the equipment, tools, and chemicals required in addition to the patient craftsmanship. Would be curious to know long it took from start to finish, and how much it cost the client. Great job!

[@SILKYSMOOTH30FPS]

The bazel removing tool is crazy. If the glass shatters, the dial and hands are done.

[@szilveszternagy7609]

Very nice work, congratulations

[@Mac_F87]

Recently just treated myself to an IWC Pilot Chronograph 43. My first luxury watch. Watching this I can really understand the cost of servicing/refurbishing now. A lot of skill and tooling involved.

[@MrDominicharrison]

Excellent work

[@Alberto250212]

Please make more or these! I've seen this like 10 times

[@Seaward1224]

Just wow!

[@leirbag3896]

Amazing job of polishing. Tools is very proper. Maybe you can also clean out the spring bar, especially those from the links. They looks black and need proper clealing too. But overall, amazing job 👍👍

Brilliant work

[@OroaMano]

Great job!!! Can you please let me know how i can find the tape you used for insulation?

[@mlapchick]

Addicting af. Anyone know what wheel he used for the outer links of the bracelet? Everything else I see has someone using some sort of abrasive pad going over and over in a straight line in the same direction. A real PITA with mixed results. Lovely work poster!

[@saldogdave]

I think that was an Artifex peripheral wheel.

[@kylere795]

Wow... amazing work! What is that pink spray you applied on the bezel? Some kind of etching chemical? And how much would a full restoration like this cost? I don't think there are any artisans like you where I am!
