That’s a stunning watch! I don’t know why, but I like the less popular Rolex models, like the Cellini. I find the popular ones like the Submariner to be overly large and gaudy. I know, that’s an odd point of view. Great video. Thanks.
I have the submariner and never wear it for that reason. However, the OP is my preferred selection and would probably suit the low key stylists' taste.
I think the Cellini is the most beautiful of Rolex watches. Don't like the others. But the fellow doing the rebuild here is incredible. Doesn't look like this is his first rodeo ! Great job and Great video !
Just found your channel and immediately subscribed. At last a real pro who does not talk and knows how to handle a camera. A most beautiful watch by the way.
I'VE been watching the videos that you produce for some time. Love the way you talk us through it. I have decided that you are no longer the hobby laymen, You are fast becoming a pro. Stay well and thanks. ED
Thank you so much for the continuous support, Ed, I genuinely appreciate it! I work very hard to make every video better than the last, so this kind of feedback is wonderful and encouraging! ☺️
It really is more than just a watch. It’s a beautiful work of art. I know nothing about working on watches, but from what I can see seems like a masterful job at restoring this watch. 👏👏👏
I have a couple of Rolex, but not this exquisite Cellini although my sister has the moon-phase version that was gifted her some time ago. Your watchmaking video is absolutely wonderful and I thank you. My sister watched it with me so she could see inside the Cellini's watch case. She loved your video presentation also. Many thanks and best wishes from Wendi in the UK 🌻
great job Maestro…one question: I saw you put some grease onto the barrel also ir you put a new spring, but some watchmakers didn’t do this…could you tell me why? This watch is spectacular! Thanks and regards…
Very simple design but gives classy look. I have an automatic Longines watch which hold the power less than 12 hours what likely is the problem ? Thank you for the advice. I did sent to a watchmaker for a service and manually wind the watch 25 turns in the morning.
That is definitely not normal! Unfortunately I cannot tell you without seeing the watch, there could be a myriad of different reasons, such as broken mainspring, etc
Now that is a truly beautiful piece, and a very nicely decorated movement. One wonders why it was up for sale, in that condition for that age it was barely used! Clean, lubricate, new mainspring is apparently the minimum work Rolex will undertake, so why did the owner want to sell it? Either way you got yourself a nice Cellini.
Rolex would want to replace the dial and hands as in their stupid little minds a watch should look like it just came out the showroom. That's why most vintage Rolex owners avoid a Rolex service.
Bear in mind that to get this item serviced by an official Rolex service centre may well cost you somewhere north of £600 and probably nearer £1000. Add to that the cost of a repair and it may well make more sense to sell it and hope to make more from it in a non working condition than fix it and sell it in a working condition. Factor in also that this is one of their less common watches, and furthermore from 1964 and the prices therefore may be considerably higher, assuming Rolex are interested in servicing and repairing it at all.
I bought a similar Rolex Cellini with a top nº5112 and a lower nº9574412 18K, in 1997, in Macao, China. Never needed repair or lubrification and still running beautifully. Can you tell me anything about it ? The one you are dealing with have to replace the main spring and my question is, why a so expensive watch needed to replace the mainspring while a common watch can have it for a whole lifetime ?
Hi Ambrosio! The mainspring on this watch was broken, so I needed to replace it. The mainspring is a part that wears down and replacement is part of a service. Sounds like you got very lucky! :)
That is a beautiful,classy looking watch but I have to say I always find watches without the second hand strange. It is as if they are soul less. To me the second hand going around represents the heart of the watch beating. Even the older models with the sub dials somehow seem alive with that little hand ticking away.
You are absolutely right, it would have been better to use plastic ones! I was so in the workflow that I completely missed switching out the tweezers. Luckily the buckle wasn't damaged!
Thanks for answering. I just noticed that the serial number of this watch starts with an E that corresponds to a 1990 production. Mine is W for a 1995 production. So, the Rolex Cellini from this videos it’s from 1990 to be precise.
Wayback 1994 While In Mumbai On A Business Bought A Cellini Rolex For $25 Thinking It Was Fake, My Friend Father Offered To Buy It At $35, Sold. A Few Days After My Friend Dad Had It Checked, Turned Out To Be A Genuine Cellini Rolex. Oh Mumbai 😥😥😥😥😥
How come you call it risky for repairing a minimalist watch that dosent even have a date function ,how would you call repairing a complex watches like Zenith el primero or defy ?
The watch is expansive. When I purchased it, I didn’t know the damage. If a lot of Rolex parts needed than it will higher the cost. The risk is about the price and not the complication of the watch.
Why would it be risky if you great at restoring watches? That watch is 4K not running in the condition you got it in is a steal! Today that watch is 20k or way more I’m sure, Obama has one! Looks amazing
Obama has the newer one, it's a completely different watch. I think in working condition with box and papers should be slightly under 4k, it's on the higher side if I'm being honest.
@@MagicWatchmaking It's a bit like prices, when they write £199.99, they really mean it's £200 - do they really believe people can't see the difference?
@@MagicWatchmaking lol it's all good here. I've sneaked in a few winning bids on other ppl. One was a Rolex Day Date for repair. Best buy so far. I literally won it for 500 dollars. Seller believed it to be stainless steel. Nope. White gold😅😅

Thank you so much for the comment! The Cellini is a true rarity that you don't see very often :)
I agree i like the Rolex brand but,,,they’re very blingy..some designs that dont scream hey! I’m loaded..! Are nice..
I have the submariner and never wear it for that reason. However, the OP is my preferred selection and would probably suit the low key stylists' taste.
I agree with you. Me too. I prefer the vintage Roleces over the large GMT watches. If I could afford a new one, it would likely be the Milgauss
I have this same piece, recently serviced by Rolex.
I think the Cellini is the most beautiful of Rolex watches. Don't like the others. But the fellow doing the rebuild here is incredible. Doesn't look like this is his first rodeo ! Great job and Great video !

Great video. I have a 1906 Elgin and a 1929 Omega that needs to be inspected and lubed. You inspire me to attempt doing this.
Thank you! Definitely give it a go ☺️
What a beautiful watch! I wouldn't have believed it was from 1964 since it looks almost brand new.
It really is! someone treat this watch carefully. Thank you for watching ☺️
magic says it all, thank you very enjoyable service and a result that timograph reading ! magic!!
Thank you so much for the wonderful compliment, James ☺️
what a master piece love the elegance and top it off a Rolex, gotta love the work
Thank you kindly!
great job Maestro…one question: I saw you put some grease onto the barrel also ir you put a new spring, but some watchmakers didn’t do this…could you tell me why?
This watch is spectacular!
Thanks and regards…
New mainspring are mostly lubricated by manufacturers. I lubricate them on top of that with tiny amount of oil.
The watch is truly amazing 🤩
For modern handwringing movement I use Moebius HP1300. For old movement with steel mainspring I use 8200.
In this particular case I used 8200 as the new mainspring is lubricated by factory
Fantastic work! Beautiful watch and one that isn't featured enough on youtube
Thank you so much for your continuous support, Jason!

Great restoration by the way. One question - did you replace the buckle on the new strap with the genuine (presumably) Rolex one?
Just interested.
Thank you ☺️ Yes, the buckle is indeed the original Rolex one!

These are high quality movements. No risk whatsoever.

Depends where you are located in the world. Everything between 100 and 1000 Euro. If this makes any sense.

I had a Cellini with the "jubilee" dial. Nice, very slim dress watch.
But I did a straight swap for an Omega speedmaster.
Both beautiful watches! Enjoy your Omega Speedmaster :)
Great job 👌

Very careful servicing 🎉
Can you fix a seiko 1977 model watch?
Hi, I do not offer any related services, sorry! I recommend going to your local watchmaker :)
Is regular to put balance on table in this way ? 3:50 and 10:57
Hi Mladen! This is a special mat that does not harm the balance in any way :)
How do you like working on Rolex movements? Are they made by engineers for engineers?
Rolex movements are very well engineered and constructed. Working on them is a joy.
it's a beautiful watch but I really like when they have a seconds hand, it just kinda indicated that the watch is doing something
I totally understand, but I think the silence calmness is also very beautiful :)

The Cellini really is a very handsome watch.
I agree ☺️
Perfection comes with patience

Is all the Rolex watches are made by hand like this watch. It is very complicated to made a watch.
It is a very beautiful watch, but I'm actually not quite sure if this movement was made hand!
Patience, is a Virtue but this, is Torture! Many Congrats on the Cellini!
Thank you so much! Such a beautiful watch ☺️
Brown Matt finish strap will look better on this beautiful watch.
I find that the strap looks a lot better in real life! It was handmade in Italy, so it's a shame it doesn't seem to translate on screen 🥺
@@MagicWatchmaking It's a glossy strap so I thought it was stealing the limelight away from watch itself.
Amazing 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻
Thank you, Alan! ☺️☺️

Grate job and filmed

Wich color you suggest?
@@MagicWatchmaking If I were to choose I'd rather buy brown with a hint of red. The one that goes well with gold.
A mí parecer y gusto encuentro este modelo de Rolex muy elegante y refinado.

That’s why the watch was broken. Easy fix and the watch is really very nice. Thank you so much for watching 😊
