I was recently contacted by friend who mentioned they would like their watch serviced as it had not been looked at in quite some time. We agreed to meet and he presented me with this lovely 18 carat gold Rolex GMT Master ii.
I want friends like that, no jokes, excellent work and excellent video. Thanks for sharing it with us
That´s craftsmanship at it´s best! Wonderful work and always a pleasure to watch and listen to. Respect!
Good job video documenting just in case something was amiss ! If I were to purchase a NOS big zero could I send it to you for service ? 🥂 Lol
What do you normally charge for your fee for this job?
I told a buddy I would work on his diamond encrusted Rolex. It didn't happen. He wouldn't even let me look at it! Told him I needed the practice!
I am a professional watch repairer, I service a lot of Rolex you have done a great job you must not put yourself down by saying it’s not to Rolex standards.
One little observation, the way that the hands are fitted, specially for Rolex have a specific way that will have a margin of 2 minutes or less when changing the date.
@@edmondzacapa9935 Really? my brand new Rolex changes date at like 3 minutes after
@@edmondzacapa9935 official standard is less -5 +10 is acceptable to pass a typical BHI course
I have a technical question for Rolex, does GMT Master II have “danger zone” to jump hours to change the date as many typical ETA 3135 (only time and date) based movement? I have a watch with ETA 3135 and it clearly stated don’t change the time between 9-3, but have never seen such phrase in GMT Master II manual. It has bugged me for very long time and I want to listen to your advice.
I think he’s probably using that as a “compliment” for himself ;)
I think the servicing of all high-end watches should be videoed and the video given to the owner along with his watch.
I think so too. I strongly suspect that a lot of unscrupulous watchmakers just throw the movement in the ultrasonic and then drop some oil in the places they can reach without disassembly.
@@thepenultimateninja5797 Won't that damage the movement?
ThePenultimateNinja I’m more worried about them pulling out parts and replacing with shit parts.
Paul Amarante yeah. The thefting the original expensive parts and replacing with cheap replica parts
Same for CARS!
I'm sitting here trying to wrap my mind around the magnitude of the genius mind it takes to invent, imagine and create something so perfect, complicated and intricate with so many moving parts that have to work in unison. And this was hundreds of years ago, too.
Blows my mind every time I think about it too, it's just madness to be even able to conceive it.
ancient AutoCAD ;)
When you don't have TV or internet to distract you, things like this are possible. Imagine being in jail for life, but with access to tools and materials. You could probably invent something just as amazing.
adamaj the watches today is way more complicated than 100 years ago
@E Z : I see what you did.
The only youtube channel that actually has pleasant background music that does NOT ruin the video....thank you !
Wouldn't you like some rap?
My thoughts exactly and started to comment. So often the music overwhelms the commentary but his is a perfect compliment to the visuals.
As a collector, I simply had no idea. Thank you for making me appreciate my watches even more.
i prefer watching your video than many tv dramas , with background light music, so relaxing.... thank you very much
What an clever guy that owner was, to have his watch serviced well and have a video put on the internet to prove it!
This is gotta be one of the best Rolex service video on RUclips so far.
(I have another one in mind, but that wasn't so complete or narrated.)
It looked like the last guy who serviced it just removed the back and sprayed it with WD-40😂
LOL
It's a fake or replica ROLEX. ROLEX don't burr up screws & over oil or scratch numbers in, looking at the parts they are heavily scratched up, it's a rubbish watch.
🤣😂🤣
I can repair some basics of watch problems but if the watch is original rolex im so afraid to repairing it bec its very difficult and danger 😊
Dusty Farmer imagin being this dumb
I would probably assemble this just like an IKEA furniture, always having a couple of screws and bits over when ”finished”...
Lol!
Same...yeah; same! Lol
After 3 years and a few "lost movements" im finally reaching to a point where i get a feel for the movement and not only reassembling i believe it to be so as im often getting amplitudes in the 280-305 degrees range , im still learning and upgrading my tools. I have made the decision of not getting into lathe work as to actually make components, for now , it can change though, never say never, but the time has to be right, so to speak and last a big thanks to Watch repair channel for providing a ton of inspiration and knowledge !
Have a nice day and thanks for being able to watch your work
Best regards

This is one of the most peaceful videos I've watched
Brilliantly videoed and narrated. As a newbie, I always learn so much from your videos that are so clear and precise in delivering the information. You have a knack of removing the fear of servicing watches, especially the more expensive ones. As a newbie, this means a lot to me and encourages me.. Thank you.
Wow Mark! This view into the quality of a Rolex movement is SOOO informative. Thank you
My days that is a pretty watch! Very pleased that this watch found its way into your expert care Mark. Great video as always! Richard
Richard Perrett Watchmaker Funny seeing you here!
Thank you Richard :)
@@samiam619 haha! Mark is a watchmaking guru! So, I am here very often and have learnt a great deal from Mark! He makes great videos and is a global asset! Richard
10:04 and 30:28 "Here you can see an example of an Omega inside your Rolex."
I just want to say this is one of the best RUclips channels I've found. You've inspired me to order a movement and some tools to get started on learning the parts, their function, and assembly. I will 100% be buying your course. Thanks!!
Fish Sticks I just ordered a 6497 Chinese movement. 35 bucks on eBay. Plan on taking it apart.
As only a hobby machinist, I cannot imagine the fabrication of those tiny precise parts. Also so much of the beauty of this watch will only be seen by the watch technician. Such mechanical beauty!
Pretty much any and everything that can be said here will be, so I'll focus my comments towards Mark. You, Sir are a true master. Your presentations here are always worth every minute spent watching & learning. Even if very few of us get the opportunity to see a Rolex movement in person, let alone service one, we all benefit from viewing your work here. It's plainly evident that you are spending extra time and effort to make sure that this beautiful movement is treated as it should be. Thanks for sharing your skills with us!
When I see how beautiful the movement of a Rolex is constructed I realize why they command a premium price. Great video!
I saw that video where he worked on a $50 Chinese automatic watch. It was interesting to see these same sorts of hundreds of parts, but out of what looked kind of like crude stamped metal with large, crude gears, working, if just. There were some sad gouges, like they'd had trouble putting it together. And he suggested that such a movement was expected to last 5 years or so :/ But it DID work!
@@joshuascholar3220 a good point, and the same applies to cheaper vintage watches. You can get vintage Oris watches under $100 and vintage omega under $500, but the movements will have SO many gouged screws, scratched parts etc.
You should see a Vacheron Constantin, Patek Phillipe, Grand Seiko or Audemars Piguet caliber. They are all works of art, a few steps prettier than even this Rolex engine.
You pay for finish and art, of course if you want an actual accurate watch then you'll just buy a quartz watch. 🤣
It's a replica ROLEX. scratches, grafitti, over-oiling on a ROLEX that has not been opened since factory.
Thank you for your videos. I've learned so much and I finished my first automatic build following your videos as a guide. It was a lot of fun and very satisfying.
Great video, as usual. I really enjoyed getting to see your service of this lovely watch.
Its pretty amazing how you could remember which screw is to be on that specific location whew and you have a very steady hands very nice video keep it up more power to you
This channel will always be my go to source for lessons, nobody does it better than our teacher here.
Thanks teacher 😊
I dont know why I can watch these videos all the way through... I am mesmerized each and every time by the beautiful parts inside.
I have seen quite a few watch repair/cleaning. This Rolex has to be one of the most beautiful watches I have seen so far!
Lovely watch and a pleasure to observe this service. I'm always happy to see you show regular service videos. The fun projects and teardowns have their own magic, but this type of content just never gets old for me. Many thanks.
I’m thinking about buying this watch and this came up in my recommended videos. This is a very well produced video. Great editing, great music. Well done. By the way, I was surprised - shocked - to learn this channel had 146,000 subs. Fantastic.
Stellar video!!! Brilliant work. I enjoy your work so much as your skill, patience & enthusiasm is admirable. Thank You so much👍👍
Great detailed video! Just brought my steel GMT ll to an official service centre for a revision and really cool to see here what they will actually do during this service. Thanks 👍🏻
Great to see how a quality movement seems effortless when you work on it! Thanks for the lessons too, it was fun to follow along step by step. Can't imagine trying to do so without help.
Completely terrifying and incredibly fascinating at the same time.the scale of the task and its intricacies plus that ever present fear of a tiny part pinging off,never to be found again.
Very relaxing to watch. You are a mechanical surgeon. I never knew a watch could contain so many minute components. Unreal!!
Marvellous, each individual part is a masterpiece of engineering - matched only by the skill required to disassemble and reassemble it. Wow! That method of accuracy adjustment is mind-blowing!!
Beautiful timepiece, excellent work, nice music, good production & audio! Cheers!
Great video, thank you. I can't wrap my head around how someone with enough skill and dexterity to strip and rebuild this movement was incapable of using the correct screwdriver or lubricating procedure !!! It's good to see you do it correctly AND be able to record it for our pleasure.
What a lovely channel. Serene and highly informative all at the same time. ⭐️
Hi there,
I just wanted to thank you for your channel and this video. It popped up accidentally and I had thought of changing. However, something told me to keep watching.
I have been an avid watch collector (cheap watches) for sometime. A few years back I begin to focus on Rolex as my career progressed. Truthfully, I never understood what the fuss was about and why watches commanded such high prices. I just knew they were status symbols since anyone important in my firm wore one. So I figured I needed to have one or two as well.
After watching this video and seeing the detail and craftsmanship that goes into quality timepieces mind has been blown.
The level of mastery that the old watch makers and creators had when there wasn’t modern technology is very apparent.
Thank you for bringing that to my attention. I have gained a whole new appreciation for quality timepieces.
I have subscribed and look forward to viewing more videos. Godspeed!
As a fourth Generation watchmaker and repearing watches self for 17 Years . I can only say wunderful job!
Love these videos. Gives me a better appreciation of just how intricate this all is. Amazed.
Imagine putting this back together and you see 3 screws and a piece left over.
O hell no. Heart attack.
A 30.000.00 watch. Not me.
And worryingly everything still seems to work perfectly. ;)
lazlo old, very old!
You can't complete it with some parts left over
Wow. You make it look so easy. Your tweezer work is incredible
Really enjoyed every minute of this video, such craftmanship,well done sir.
I'm a proud owner of a GMT II with the 3186 movement, but being a poor Oil&Gas consultant of course the stainless steel version.
Very nice video to watch and see the movement in detail.
I know this video is 3 years old and you will probably not see the comment but. I'm lucky to own one of these and you have given me a view of mine I'll never see. Love your videos. You are making me contemplating getting into watchmaking as a hobby.
Whether someone likes Rolex or not, it is a beautiful, robust movement.
I could watch you work all day.
Hi Mark. Thank you for the high quality content you're providing. I love watches and although I don't have any automatic watch (only quartz) I hope I can buy some kind of automatic one in the future. I searched through the internet and I learned that Orient watches are very popular and affordable watches. In my country there are many people who have two or more of them.
I know that you have "Watch repair lessons" but I was wondering if you'd be interested in making a RUclips series on "how to service your own Orient watch". I was thinking about Orient Bambinos etc. with separate episode on what one would need (tools, what kind of lubricants on which part etc.) to do that. It could be aimed at only cleaning and lubricating the watch/watches. I think there could be many people interested in trying to lubricate their own watches not fearing that much of damaging their stuff (Orients aren't that expensive). Just step by step tutorial on how to take apart, clean, lubricate and put together watches in this price range (ex. Orients because it's very popular as far as I know). Although there are some Orient watch ORIENTed movies on YT, there are none (as far as I know) with most recent calibers and it's usually without a commentary (for total beginners), so you have to have some kind of overall watchmaking knowledge.
I'll just live it under your consideration.
It was wierd watching so many parts being removed whilst the "heart" of the watch continued to beat. Wonderful work 👍
Hi ! Today I disassembled a quartz watch (just for fun, as it was broken I just wanted to see how it was made) and I think it could be nice to see you doing it with a quartz movement, even if it's a short video ! Don't know if you're too much skilled to practice on those but it could be fun !
Have a nice day, take care of you during this weird time !
Masterful is a word that I would use after watching this video. As always, you make it look easy Mark. With regard to standard, I am inclined to think that the only difference is that you were not in a Rolex shop using Rolex equipment. Excellent work!
I am not a huge Rolex fan, but I do like this watch. I think the service you performed on it was impeccable. Well done Mark!
Your vids are pure zen and inspires great appreciation for mechanical movements low and high end! Thank you!
Incredible work Mark, as always. Really expecting to view the use of that microstella wrench. Best regards.
Great video. Especially liked the fish eye view in the upper left corner allowing us to see your table layout. I have a Rolex GMT Master II and will enjoy it even more now that I know what it looks like inside.
i think you've done this rolex justice. the owner should be over the moon
Beautiful video and very much appreciated. I’m extremely new to horology and love how you have moved my interest to a new level of appreciation. Thanks!
Another great video Mark and beautiful background music
Amazing job, requires so much patience & precision & knowledge well done sir 👍
Absolutely magnificent work and watch, I found myself not even wanting to blink...
Phenomenal!!!!, thank you for taking the time to share.
Love the last part! Amazing adjustment tool and skills!
A really great video, Mark. Thankyou for making it!
You don’t just own a Rolex. You own a work of art!
I like watches, I like mechanical watches, I like to watch your work with the intricate components... taking apart and remembering where the dang stuff goes to make it more better again! relaxing and thank you. Cheers from over the pond in PA.
HI MY NAMES PETE, I LIVE IN DEAL IN KENT, YOU ARE ONE "VERY" "VERY" CLEVER MAN AND YOUR CONTENT AND CAMERA WORK IS ON PAR WITH YOUR AMAZING WATCH SKILLS . PLEASE KEEP UP THE FANTASTIC WORK, WHERE DID YOU OBTAIN YOUR WATCH SKILLS AND NERVES OF STEEL, YOU ARE NOW TOP OF MY "YOU-TUBE" VIEWING, MANY THANKS AGAIN [PETE]
It was so great to watch this! Well done
Such patience and professionalism... admirable
It's a pleasure to see you manage a Vostok or a Rolex with the same passion! Thank you for sharing!
I scratched myself pretty badly just trying to change a strap today.... I can't even do that properly. You have very steady hands. Thank you for this video
thanks! im going to surprise my dad for his birthday and give his rolex a servicing myself
bob redard: And remember to take a bad video of it and “share” it to all and sundry. He’ll be so pleased you did that for him. You must be a marvellous, thoughtful son......
Mark, fantastic as always. Still eagerly awaiting the release of your next course.
I can see why watchmakers like working on Rolex...That is gorgeous movement! Thanks so much for sharing!
I watched the whole vid with great interest. You are a true master. It's a pleasure to watch. Thanks so much.
this video was an absolute joy to watch coupled with the so relaxing music magical!
As a new cal. 3186 owner (16570 Explorer II Polar I just purchased) I enjoyed this video. To see such details was wondrous to me. Thank you very much for doing this.
I believe any good Rolex technician would be impressed.
It’s only after watching this that you understand why it costs almost a grand to have any good watch with only a few complications serviced. It’s hours of time from a very skilled craftsman using very specialized tools. Obviously this is a labor of love for most of the folks that do this for a living.
I'm a subscriber and great fun of your channel and not a watch repairer like you or an enthusiast. But am surprised why I watch all your videos. I'm amazed by your patience in doing your trade.
Great video. The finishing of the movement might be less glamorous than some luxury watches but you get the impression that the engineering and R&D that Rolex have invested in it over the decades results in a movement of near perfection in terms of reliability and precision.
Fascinating to watch you work, strange that someone had the skill to strip that watch down and put it back together but made such a bad job of it!
Enjoyed the video, as always. Thank you
Very impressive, and very interesting! Thank you!
A very good result. My Rolexes serviced at Cologne Germany were never so accurate... Congrats, Achim Singapore+
I really enjoy watching your videos my farther who has passed now was a jeweller and watch maker with a degree in horology , gemmology i used to sit and watch him repairing clicks and watches as a child
I highly, highly doubt Rolex would service the watch as precisely as this gentleman.
Uhm. Best videos, relaxing af too, but absolutely not boring, you’re such an interesting person to listen. Underrated channel. 💪🏻❤️
It's a bit like the pottery videos they used to show to fill in time on TV.
Wish I owned this watch, and what a treasure of a video to keep showing this beautiful service. 👌
Thoroughly enjoyed this video. Thanks Mark & Stay Safe!
really great to see a close up from such an expensive movement
"They would simply just replace and charge accordingly".... best line in the video.
Excellent stuff. Loved the video and the quality of the repair.
I enjoy watching your video i learned a lot of things and technics keep it up sir thank you for your hardworking and patience to teaching us...
WOW, that was an amazing content. You took everything apart and oiled it, put it back together. WHEW!
Loved the precise work. Amazing!
my farther used to charge 2/6p shillings in the 50 .to repair a watch. thank for this video.
Excellent work once again, thx for sharing.
Great video, great to see the quality of the inside components. Deffo doesn't look like the quality you would expect for 30k
Nice video. Please stay at home sir. These are trying times and I wish you and your family well. And I pray that you people come out well and strong after this pandemic.
That's amazing finish on the components great video.
