My best watch was a Bulova Accutron that I purchased in 1970. It stopped working after twenty years. I’m impressed with your ability to work with such minut watch pieces .
i recently made two Pro Masters with the same date / day settings (but I had problems with one of them) ..... now I will redo the watch ;-) .... thank you
A wonderful video. Your restoration is gorgeous. The watch now looks like it's cherished. I've just purchased a working Pepsi bevel version of this watch. They're not expensive on the secondhand market. However the awesome Miyota Cal. 8200 movement and great build quality, still makes them very desirable dive watches. These timepieces are really tough. Your video has really impressed me, thank you.
Amazing restoration work on the Citizen NY2300! I really like the faded dial, with the texts barely readable. How did you manage to get a new bezel insert for it?
Awesome job, really enjoyed the vid. Because the dial was so weathered I think I would have left the bezel the old way…..or replaced the dial….either way, great work!
Fantastic looks amazing Bro,Bravo 👏 my couple tea I'm from 75ś so this almost 48 years old woah incredible watch ⌚️ any of your pieces are for sale, will until next one right.! Great content and beautiful restoration....greetings from St George Utah ✌️..
As others have said, fantastic job. Personally if I were to commission you to restore a watch, I would request a new dial as well. You did such a nice job on the hands and case, it kind of looks out of place with the dial with so much patina, and nothing else. Be well !!
WOW! What a transformation!! I think I have this model too in poor condition with water ingress damage to the dial and a broken winding staff, It does run but can't be set at the correct time!! 😂
this videos are just mesmerizing... wanted to ask, given the intricacies of the movement with the tiny bits, why a couple of the gears are made of some kind of plastic? why not steel like the rest of them
@@MagicWatchmaking thank you. I need to find a parts list or diagram that includes the Citizen part #'s. The glued in crystal is a new challenge for me as well. Do you know the original crystal dimensions?
I don't know why, but I get glued to your videos! What a underfull work! Congratulations to your work, and to your RUclips channel! Quick question, a job like this takes how many working hours total?
Fantastic video. I actually have 5 of this exact same watch bought together in an ebay lot and all in about the same condition this one arrived to you in. I haven't fully restored any but I have cleaned up and got running a couple of them. Please tell me, where did you find a replacement bezel ring? Thanks!
A great restoration. I just wish I could find someone to restore my old Citizen Diver's watch just like this one. Do you have any tips on how to restore the threads on the case for the crown?
@Magic Watchmaking could you please tell me where could i find bezel for old MDV-300 Casio .. ? It has a sentimental value for me, and I want to restore it but I cant find the bezel anywhere .. Thanks in advance!
Wow! Awesome job. How much does a restoration normally cost? For example a 1979 omega seamaster that has some scratches and light rust and still works.
I think I just saw the best magic trick ever. Very nice job. Thank you.
Wow, thanks ☺️
Fantastic job! And, this says something regarding the build quality of Citizen.
Thank you so much. The build quickly is rock solid
These were even used by Italian Navy divers for over a decade
I had this particular citizen many moons ago. A very reliable & accurate watch. Fantastic job in the restoration of this watch.
Thank you ☺️
Fantastic work, I'm watching all these videos, so glad I stumbled on them.
Thank you 🙏
Absolutely stunning! Amazing how you brought it back to life and keeping it's patina intact. Love your work!!
Thank you so much ☺️
A lume shot at the end would have been cool.
That was a magic restoration, thank you
Thank you so much ☺️
ÎN TOTDEAUNA MI-AU PLĂCUT CEASURILE MECANICE! O SPUN CU SINCERITATEA!🙂👍
Spectacular restoration….

Couldn't agree more!
Superb job, from rusty wreck to quality timepiece.
Thank you for watching ☺️
Superb job. Such a relaxing view! I really appreciate your skill and workmanship. Well done
Thank you so much. I appreciate your kind words ☺️
My best watch was a Bulova Accutron that I purchased in 1970. It stopped working after twenty years.
I’m impressed with your ability to work with such minut watch pieces .
Thank you so much for your kind words. Bulova Accutron is a legend
Great job! I was waiting for a lume shot to see the new lume.
Thank you ☺️
Nothing but pure magic 😊
Thank you so much ☺️
Pure Magic. Simply fantastic.
Thank you ☺️

Потрясающе, работа сложнее, чем у ювелира: помимо реставрации ещё и наладить механизм нужно. Классно😊👍
Thank you 😊
i recently made two Pro Masters with the same date / day settings (but I had problems with one of them) ..... now I will redo the watch ;-) .... thank you

Sehr gute Arbeit, danke dass Sie sie wieder ins Leben zurück brachten.
会社を代表して、よろしくお願いします！🙏
Sehr lieb, Dankeschön ☺️
Really Very nice indeed, I'd rather have that, than a brand new one I think.
Good choice ☺️
As others have said, fantastic job.
Personally if I were to commission you to restore a watch, I would request a new dial as well. You did such a nice job on the hands and case, it kind of looks out of place with the dial with so much patina, and nothing else.
Be well !!
Thank you for watching. Have a nice day!
Amazing. Good move reusing the original dial.
Thank you ☺️ some viewers hate it… but I find it is an understatement 😊
Belo trabalho e profissionalismo puri puri show de bola 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🇧🇷🇧🇷💯✌️

Random brazilian congratulations message
Hi, great job, well done. Cheers
Thank you! Cheers!
WOW! What a transformation!!
I think I have this model too in poor condition with water ingress damage to the dial and a broken winding staff, It does run but can't be set at the correct time!! 😂
It seems to be that this watches made to last forever.
Thank you for watching ☺️
Good job!!!
Thank you! cheers ☺️
Amazing fantastic!!
Thank you so much ☺️
Nice work. Watch looks great. 👍
Thank you! Cheers!
Bravo ottimo lavoro!!!!
Thank you ☺️
the old beel insert would have looked great on it at the end.
I still have the old bezel insert and can exchange it. Easy task 😊 thank you for watching
I replaced a quartz movement in a very similar model citizen, I really like this watch, yours was a challenge and you did some amazing work!
Thank you ☺️
That;s a wonderful restoration, do take care of it 👍
That's the plan! Thank you for watching ☺️
عمل رائع ومهارة عالية good 👍 jop
شكرا الك ضياء ☺️
I still have the exact watch,but the first Solar model i bought 25 years ago,in excellent condition..
Very beautiful watch indeed. Thank you so much for sharing.
Have a wonderful day!
this videos are just mesmerizing... wanted to ask, given the intricacies of the movement with the tiny bits, why a couple of the gears are made of some kind of plastic? why not steel like the rest of them
I assume it's because of cost saving...
Gorgeous
Thank you ☺️
Loved this video, what movement was this? Whatever it was it held up ok to time..
Citizen 8200 movement build like a tank and last forever.
@@MagicWatchmaking thank you for the reply, your work is real soothing I must watch more .cheers.
Beautiful Watch
Thank you 😊 cheers
I like everything except the band choice. Well Done!
Thank you for watching ☺️
Never seen this watch before. Looks a lot like a Seiko.
I do like the video. I would prefer a commentary rather than the occasional text explanation. Any chance of you doing that? I adds so much more.
I think about it because a lot of wishes are there asking for voiceover… stay tune… maybe in near future. Thank you for watching 😊
I have this exact same watch. Been using it everyday for ten years. Can simeone tell me where can I get it maintained and cleaned?
Ask your local watchmaker. Thanks for watching ☺️
Hey, I just bought a model of the same era as the watch in this video... I would like to know if it has radioactive lume?
I believe yes!
Where may I source new parts for this watch model? I'm looking for new gaskets, crystal, bezel click parts etc. thank you for your time.
Ebay is a good starting point
@@MagicWatchmaking thank you. I need to find a parts list or diagram that includes the Citizen part #'s. The glued in crystal is a new challenge for me as well. Do you know the original crystal dimensions?
Hi
Great job. I have the same watch, from were can I get the bezel gasket please?
This particular bezel doesn't have an specific gasket. I measured it and ordered a new one by watch parts supplier.
I don't know why, but I get glued to your videos! What a underfull work!
Congratulations to your work, and to your RUclips channel!
Quick question, a job like this takes how many working hours total?
Wow... thank you for kind words ☺️
In total 4-5 days including filming and preparing the footage for upload.
Oh my God wow 👍👍
Thank you 😊
🙏🙏🙏🙏😊
Can you please tell me what paint to use for lume? I don't have a UV light curing setup like you do, what can I use?
Luminous Compound are available in several colors. No UV light needed.
Thank you so much for watching ☺️
Thank you for sharing 🙏🏽
beautiful job; btw: I have the same watch, but mine is still doing well....
Thank for watching ☺️
Very good
Thank you ☺️
Very nice
Thank you 😊
bezel mark and 12 o'clock do not match
the rest is very cool!
Thank you for watching. Have a great day ☺️
Excellent thank you
Thanks ☺️
Fantastic video. I actually have 5 of this exact same watch bought together in an ebay lot and all in about the same condition this one arrived to you in. I haven't fully restored any but I have cleaned up and got running a couple of them. Please tell me, where did you find a replacement bezel ring? Thanks!
Bezel insert I bought on ebay
10:38 Where do I find this fine polish paste? Thanks
Super Finish (Dry) Menzerna M5. I ordere it by my watch parts supplier. Thank you for watching
@@MagicWatchmaking Thank you very much. Great video
A great restoration. I just wish I could find someone to restore my old Citizen Diver's watch just like this one. Do you have any tips on how to restore the threads on the case for the crown?
Thank you. Easy task... any watchmaker can do this. Ask your local watchmaker
@Magic Watchmaking could you please tell me where could i find bezel for old MDV-300 Casio .. ? It has a sentimental value for me, and I want to restore it but I cant find the bezel anywhere .. Thanks in advance!
I assume Casio… did you ask them? eBay is also a good source.
Does every Citizen Diver watch have the japanese Daywriting no matter where they were purchased or only special models?
I think only special models.
Thank you for watching
Amazing
Thank you for watching
Super.👍
Thank you ☺️
Wow! Awesome job. How much does a restoration normally cost? For example a 1979 omega seamaster that has some scratches and light rust and still works.
Thank you so much for watching ☺️ about the cost the best way is to ask a watchmaker near to you and in your country.
Amazing. How did you restore the bezel insert tho?
Thank you for watching. The bezel insert was replaced by new one.
11:15 where i find this hand polisher?
Ebay I assume. Look for Bergeon leather buff
Helt underbart ❤️
Thank you Lars
Amazing....
Thank you 🙏
