Can’t get my head around not only the design and engineering that went into making the watch but the level of skill demonstrated in the repair process. 👍👍👍
Amen to that brother.. I also watch this and I don't quite understand On how you/one come up with something like this, it's small and works just like clockwork' no joke intended
Watching this with my Milgauss on my wrist completely sobered by how my ticking companion is simultaneously more fragile and more durable than myself all at the same time. Awesome video.
Greetings, my dear friend, the professor... Yes, yes, I say it to you very seriously. You are a great professor of watches. 😘😍💪🏿 How much I loved you and your interesting video about bringing manual watches back to life again... 🤲🏾 I will pray and pray to the Lord for guidance, success, and continued success. 😘😘😘 Wow, your most beautiful videos and clips are more than enjoyable I love you, I love you, I love you ❤️❤️❤️
I don’t know if you’d call me a hater or not, lol, but the only reason I dislike the Milgauss is that crooked seconds hand, for me personally it detracts from the symmetry of the watch. Don’t get me wrong it’s a sweet looking watch, just not for me.
@@arancourt5623the second hand is what makes it cool, since it has magnetic resistance. Otherwise it just looks like any other watch ;) but hey, that’s what’s cool about this stupid hobby - there’s something for everyone!
I think the seconds hand looks cool. This is a watch with a very special feature and the seconds hand is a reminder to that. I also like the colours, especially the green crystal.
Once again I realize how great Rolex is.Almost no movements of this era had engravings on the base. I also want to praise the repair techniques. Good Skill！！

The only thing I think is weird is that they are having you clean up the scratches, especially after they kept it as a reminder for 10 years. I would want to keep it like it was after the crash... but that's just me
What a fantastic job on resurrecting this piece back to life. The 'Phoenix' is alive once again..as is the fortunate owner. What a horrible accident. Condolences to those effected.
The restoration is nothing short of magnificent. The story of this watch is one for the books, thankfully the owner survived though the watch was rendered nearly destroyed, thankfully not vice-versa - a very very lucky man that day.
The detail that goes into this, is incredible! I thought pulling an iPhone apart was challenging! The knowledge itself, let alone the tools required. Absolutely incredible on many levels
Amazing work man! I am happy that you got yourself new Elma gadgets and a brand new modern era time machine which seems to be eco friendly replacing the medieval one which had to be kept in an isolated room 😂 Last but not least, I am sorry for the plane crash and for all lives lost, may they rest in peace.
Wow, I was there on that day on site as a PO . I remember well. Life changing . Lots of smoke. Mass confusion. remember a women passenger trying to get off and away from the aircraft was accidently killed by a responding Airport Fire-Engine. I’m hypnotized by your story and work FROM THE ASHES OF THE FIRE ..A LIFE MEMORY OF SADNESS IS SLIGHTLY LIFTED UP . YOUR DETAILED TEDIOUS LOVING HANDS BRINGS SOME CLOSURE. I would be honored if you serviced my Pepsi Rolex my sons gave me…YOU ARE BLESSED WITH A GIFT VERY FEW HAVE. Your equipment reflects on your professional craft and in my eyes an Artist. I hope you pass on your teaching to young people so your work and ethic is passed on to another Generation.
I wanted this watch for many years and never did get one. After seeing the faraday case protecting the movement (which I was never aware of), I want it even more now. What an amazing timepiece. I love it!!
Beautifully done! Always amazed at the original design intricacy and beauty of the Rolex but then you add in the skill of the watchmaker/restorer and it is truly a work of art.
Wahnsinn, welche Geschichte hinter dieser Uhr steckt. Auch das Ergebnis deiner guten Arbeit ist wahnsinn 👍🏻 Perfekter Ganglauf, starke Amplitude, 0.0 Abfallfehler und äußerlich einfach auch wie aus der Fabrik. Vielleicht deine beste gefilmte Uhr bis jetzt. Obwohl ich das ja auch nicht zum ersten Mal schreibe 😅 Achja, es hat dein Hinweis gefehlt, dass du wirklich nicht von Elma gesponsert wirst 😂
What a great story of this beautiful instrument . I could never afford a watch like that but just seeing how you brought it back was truly a showing of your experience and skill . Thank you for allowing me in your world .
Great job on the restoration! I love that there are a couple of small dings still on the watch, they are hard to spot but they keep the story of the watch alive. Marks of the passage of time and the memories they evoke are more valuable to me than the price of the watch.
I've said it before but I'll say it again. The man's not only an artist, he's practically a magician lol. As for the straps, I personally prefer the metal strap.
To be fair, apart from the crystal being smashed this was basically a regular watch service. The worst damage sustained by the watch was when the hammer smashed the crystal out from the bezel. Glad the owner survived the crash obviously and love these videos in general. Production value and editing in this guys videos are always particularly good.
You forgot the broken jewel. That was actually the hardest part of the service of the movement itself. However, the restoration of the case and the bracelet is where the real magic occurs.
Excellent job on the repair and good video production value too. Since I began videoing my own watch repairs & restorations (not online) I find that every screw goes in perfectly, a spring never flies away, every balance wheel placement takes one attempt, and the watch runs flawlessly. 😊
Undeniable quality video, image, zoom…it’s perfect. It’s a real nice restoration to help this beautiful Rolex to back to life ! Good work, I love this one ! Thank you for sharing, best regards !! ✨👌
The force experienced in that plane crash was immense. The fact it was enough to shatter the sapphire crystal and STILL work after a service without needing to overhaul the movement speaks volumes on how well Rolex makes their watches.
I know a lot of people say never polish a watch. I think in this case it was fully warranted. Looks brand new. Hopefully the owner wears it for the rest of hid life and passes it on.
Great back story for the watch and a fantastic rebuild/repair. Enough minor imperfections left for the owner to know it's his watch. And, steel evertime for me with a Milgauss.
That's the first time I have seen the inside of one of these. That is impressive engineering. You did an amazing restoration. I'm sure the owner is extremely happy. Now they can wear it and have that lucky and grateful feeling every time they check the time of day.
There are only a handful of restoration channels that I can give props to for skill (you and mymechanics come to mind) love the work! Also, pls upload in 1440p + 4K pls!
Great restoration as always. There's some lovely new tools and equipment since the last video i watched. 👍However, I'm still disappointed that you haven't tidied up those white wires on the otherwise immaculate cleaning machine. Put some sleeving on those cables.
I don’t know if you’d call me a hater or not, lol, but the only reason I dislike the Milgauss is that crooked seconds hand, for me personally it detracts from the symmetry of the watch. Don’t get me wrong it’s a sweet looking watch, just not for me. I used to be a collector, but I liquidated my collection to venture into real estate. In January, I acquired homes in Malibu for $34 million, and the returns on investment far exceed what I earned as a collector.
he second hand is what makes it cool, since it has magnetic resistance. Otherwise it just looks like any other watch ;) but hey, that’s what’s cool about this stupid hobby - there’s something for everyone! How did you grow your portfolio to $34m, I'm impressed, I have a lump sum in the bank, the rates are not impressive so I'm moving it, whats your cash flow like?
Can’t get my head around not only the design and engineering that went into making the watch but the level of skill demonstrated in the repair process. 👍👍👍

Incredible how he remembers EXACTLY how everything goes!! 😮
This isn't high skill at all. Just practice for a month and anyone can do it. True skill is designing the movement
Watching this with my Milgauss on my wrist completely sobered by how my ticking companion is simultaneously more fragile and more durable than myself all at the same time. Awesome video.
You're so fortunate to have this watch. I will probably never have that chance..
You and me both 👍🏼 Shame we never get to see the cool design on the Faraday cage, but it's definitely given me even more respect for the watch.
I really appreciate the care, love and professionalism you use to restore this beautiful survivor of a tragic event. Oyster steel bracelet for sure!
That was an amazing video, and the opening had me truly captivated by the story. Great job friend!
Thanks mate 😊

A testimony to Rolex quality. Able to survive a plane crash with minimal damage.
why would anyone hand their modern rolex to a non rolex service centre is beyond me. just to save a couple of bucks?
@donkykon2094 I'd say that Red Dead Restorations skills show why he's more than capable to repair this watch.
Who cares what the haters say, the Milgauss is a cool watch. Glad to see this one brought back to life!
Mil gauss is a great watch !
The only cool Rolex.
I don’t know if you’d call me a hater or not, lol, but the only reason I dislike the Milgauss is that crooked seconds hand, for me personally it detracts from the symmetry of the watch. Don’t get me wrong it’s a sweet looking watch, just not for me.

I am afraid that the watch business is changing to a brand business.
When someone trusts you with a priceless artifact of their life's story, you can rest assured that you do good work.
Never realized how cool the inside of a milgauss is. They are very unique! What a story behind this watch!
Wow... never seen a rubber strap on a milgauss before. Looks absolutely amazing. What a beautiful and elegant design this watch is...
I'm so glad that this channel exists. Absolute treasure watching.
I would choose rolex steel bracelet over a silicone rubber strap--much more classier!
Agreed. I got one for my Submariner. Took it off after a day. Just didn’t look right.
I won’t ever understand why people choose rubber for wearing expensive watches. I just prefer steel.
Verynice repairing
True
You are an F'ing genius when it comes to watch restoration! Hands down the BEST I have seen on RUclips! You blow my mind!
Best watch restoration channel on youtube.. please post more 👍🏼
Totally amazed! Again. The tools alone reminds me of the doll fixer in toy story. And the quality of your video is just pure art.
Congrats on your Time Machine upgrade!
I'm glad the owner survived! I wouldn't board a plane ever again either after that. I was surprised there was no major damage inside the watch.
Rolex original steel strap - every time! I own a 1960 Tudor Sub in Rolex case with original Rolex strap. Looks great, works fine too.
Fantastic filming and excellent restoration as always. Top notch. I really enjoyed this one.
Wonderful video and NO MUSIC, brilliant. Hairy arms, no choice, never bracelet. ⚘️👍

My favorite high end watch model. Cool restoration.
This video clearly shows why quality watches are so expensive. Every detail is illustrated with extreme precision. Bravissimo.
The restoration is nothing short of magnificent. The story of this watch is one for the books, thankfully the owner survived though the watch was rendered nearly destroyed, thankfully not vice-versa - a very very lucky man that day.
I wouldn’t say the the watch was nearly destroyed
Only the glass was broken

One of the classiest Rolex watches I have seen , great job 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻😎
Thanks 😊
Incredible restoration and story behind this time piece, such a tragedy.
like a luxurious show..always interesting👍👍👍greetings from Indonesia
I love my Milgauss. I call it the Harry Potter watch due to the lighting bolt speed second hand.
The most beautiful restoration. How incredible is it to learn about the design, skill, and craftsmanship it takes to design a Rolex watch.

Video yang selalu saya tunggu
Dramatic story for the watch and wonderful restoration job. Bravo!!!👏
Thank you very much!
An interesting and attractive watch. It must have been terrifying to go through that crash. After a decade, it seems right to let the past fade away.
The patient, the craftsmanship, the knowledge, it is mindblowing…
What a neat story. Absolutely lovely restoration (super job in getting the matte and polished surfaces just perfect).
I don't have any words to comment after seeing this video you are simply superb man...
Un gran trabajo como siempre.
