Restoration of The James Bond Watch - Polishing - Live And Let Die - Vintage Tissot - ASMR - 007

- In this video I make a restoration of a James Bond 007 vintage watch which is a Tissot "pr516" automatic watch from around 1970, cal 784-2. The watch was dead when I bought it.
I found this watch in an online auction and the guy who owned it lived quite near me. I just pulled the trigger with a quite high bid (in my opinion) and luckily I won the watch.
-During the disassembly I think the gear train was seized up because of old oil and dirt inside, that's why the watch couldn't run and was dead from the beginning. Everything else was in good condition.
-The whole watch was disassembled and cleaned in an ultrasonic cleaner with Elma red solution. The pallet fork and balance is cleaned manually in naphtha. The mainspring was cleaned in the ultrasonic also, not included in the video. The mainspring was kept as it looked very fresh.
-The casing was restored, polishing and brushing of surfaces. Also the back lid of the watch was restored. The acrylic glass of the watch was polished.
-The stem of the watch was quite rusty so this was changed to a new stem.
-The rotating bezel was changed to a vintage original one from 1970.
After the restoration the watch runs around +/- 5 seconds per day. In vertical positions it shows around +/- 10 seconds per day. The amplitude shows around 300 degrees!
This was Roger Moores personal watch which he had during the making of the James Bond movie Live and Let Die 1973. So this watch can be seen sometimes during the movie because he wore it backstage so I guess sometimes he didn’t change his watch to an Omega or a Rolex for an example.

When I was a little kid I had one of Roger Moore's James Bond movies on a VHS, A View To A Kill. I really liked that film and it also includes Christopher Walken, who is a fantastic actor. So when I heard that Roger Moore uses this Tissot PR-516 automatic watch in a couple of scenes in the movie Live and Let Die I had to get it!
In the end of the project everything turned out very good, the watch runs well. The watch was probably dead because there was some dirt that had seized the gear train. Probably its been dead for a long time because I couldn't find much wear on the parts.
Hope you enjoy my work, thank you for taking your time watching my movie!
I love these videos. Thanks for sharing.
Many thanks, have a great day!@@dangermouse8466
So Bond , you expect me to TOC
@@AndrewNeilBaird? :D
No mister Bond i expect you to TICK@@Watcheyes
This channel is my new obsession! The craftsmanship is exceptional. Good to see someone has the passion to bring these timepieces back to life.
Wow what a kind comment, many thanks sir! Hope you have a good day /From Sweden.
I love the dial face. Gorgeous watch
I agree =) Wonderful to wear at work.
I still own the Tissot watch I was given at about 11. I always liked their design for the hands and the watch dial, they have a clear elagance about them.
I don’t normally watch long videos but this one is exceptional.
Precision engineering with skill and patience.
Beautiful restoration 😊
Guapísimo gran trabajo😉👍🏻👏👏👏👏👏👏😍😍😍
A superb time piece and even more superb watch smithing skills, Brilliant.
Beautiful watch! I really liked when Bond wore different watches, and not just product placement Omegas.
Amazing job. Congratulations from BRAZIL.
wonderful to see a watch like that loving brought back to life. Never knew he owned that watch. Brilliant video of a great restoration.
Glad you liked it Robert!
First watch I bought with my own (earned!) money was a very similar Tissot... I had it restored a couple of years ago and it keeps better time than my ...Datejust! Great video.
Initial reaction to seeing this video is available is excitement.
Many thanks! :)
Thanks for the great video.
I had a Tissot navigator from 1975 which looks nearly the same and probably the same inside. I passed it to my Son Ben after having it fully serviced some years ago.Still runs and looks fantastic.
Thanks again.
Your Watchmaking skills are very good..... Your videography skills may be even better! It's all just exceptional...
:)
That's exactly what I was thinking 💯🔛💯
excellent, such a delicate and chic work
Many thanks Ramo 😀
Suprise R moore was wearing tissot in this movie he was the best of them in Ian Fleming J B so good restoration of this watch must say Bravissimo ☆☆☆☆☆☆☆
Incredible patience and skills. Excellent work.
Great looking watch, thanks for posting
Thank you Robert!
Excelente trabajo. Saludos desde Lima Perú 🇵🇪.
The the old seals from the 50s to the 80s used NBR (Nitrile Butadiene Rubber) ideally changed every service, this must have been lying stored somewhere for many years :)
Aha, I didnt know that, interesting =)
Very good work
Many thanks!
really a great watch for 007, I have one, beautifull dial
I bought a watch from 1968 with an ETA 2551…it is very very small. I have disassembled it, cleaned it and reassembled it, it has been my most complicated movement, especially due to its size, and it has come back to life with surprising precision. I just hope one day to do what you do... thank you very much for your videos, they are spectacular and I learn a lot. Greetings from Spain.
Thanks for taking the time to make this. Your close ups are the best.
Wonderful. Great job 👏🏻
Fantastic job. I have no idea how you remembered how to put it all back together. Spot on refurb. Well done
Хорошая работа.
Bravo. this was amazing to watch.
Thank you!
You have some of the finest tools ever made. What a joy it must be to accomplish projects like the Tissot rescue. Nicely done.
Masterpiece, high quality production here with incredible attention to detail. 👏
Well done.
Thank you Alex!

Those are great sanding techniques! Thanks for sharing! 😁
That was so therapeutic to watch thank you 😊
Просто АСМР какое то! 🤦♂️🤷♂️ Я чуть не уснул под конец фильма ☺️ так уютно и приятно смотреть на все эти десятки манипуляций! Кайф! 👏👏👏🥳
Love the effort and creative side of the videos! Great stuff mate! Cheers from down under!
Sir. M should hire you.
What a perfect not secret mission.
:) thank you
Very good job on the watch. Teaching myself to work on vintage watches.
Quite unbelievable what I have just watched. You wonder why cleaning is expensive but this shows you in spades
I am in AWE sir
Did anyone expect James Bond to wear a Tissot watch? I would have expected Rolex or Omega as a man who is constantly on the road in the world. But that's how you can be wrong. Good Job Sir …
It seems to have liked this watch as he can be seen with it in many photos also, thank you :)
In this case, the watch was Roger Moore’s personal watch at the time. He also wore it on The Persuaders!
He wore a Casio as well in Octopussy. Money talks when it comes to product placement
@@tomcat561 wow, many thanks for the info!
@@apb3251 :😀
Fantástico. Você atingiu a perfeição.
This is like 50 Shades of Grey watch edition. Your arms and hands and skill and oh man…😅
I’m a fan of all things James Bond, although Roger Moore was not my favorite… I really thought I knew the watches… But I did not know this one! Had no idea… it’s pretty awesome! Kudos on the filming of this video… Well done!

Not sure how long Omega has done it, but I know for many James Bond movies, Omega releases a James Bond watch. There is a limited number, each in a special presentation box. I have the Omega released after the James Bone movie Spectre. The watch was a gift from my wife at my retirement. As we were making the purchase, a gentleman came in with the same watch as well as the Omega from the previous movie. He was interested in their value as he had purchased both overseas. Naturally, the Spectre model was worth around $6k but the older model according to the sales person had gone up quite a bit and would continue as each new Omega was released. It came down to number of watches available. Since owning the watch; I also own a Omega Orange face dive watch, I’ve used the occasion when my wife drags me to a jewelry store to ask about any of the James Bond edition Omega watches. I’ve yet to go into a store and have them tell me they had one or even sold one. They all say the numbers are limited and only certain stores get them.
Lets see A.I. do this. Amazing.
1st! Lovely video
😊 thank you!
Relaxing video thank you
