After reading some of the comments I will point a couple of things out - I have one of those rare things - a sense of humour 😁 this video was not to be taken serious but it seems so many people have done.
For those who could not see the obvious - The guy at the start was a friend and it was some admittedly poor acting.
The watch was purchased with my own money and I was free to do whatever I wanted with it, including destroying it - my watch, my choice.
If you can’t deal with that then that’s on you - you shouldn’t have watched especially since the thumbnail shows pretty much what happens.
To those who watched it and took it with the light hearted humour that was intended, thanks for watching and cheers for your support 🙏🙏👍
Just wanted to know, how do people like myself could spot a fake? Any advice would be very helpful. Thanks, cousin across the pond. BTW that chap acted very well, I believed it.😜
I get it mate!
Great video mate and great skill, it’s not the first time you fixed a watch or two
Oh Please you WATCH Snob!!!!!!!!
Hey if I buy one will you service it for me so it'll run halfway decent, I'd wear it to work and such, when I wouldn't want to get any of the real watches dirty or damaged lol
There are rumors that igrotum has the Rolex database of serial numbers and sells replicas with the same serial numbers as the originals
That, my friend, is not a clone, its a piece of junk. Ziarex has Swiss-made replicas, the same as the originals. Compared to his watches, this is nothing
There are no Swiss made clones. They are all made in small back alley workshops in China.
I'm from the States, and I just wanted to let you know that I've been watching all of your videos for the past couple of weeks. I've been kind of stagnating in life. I've been unsatisfied, and I've wanted to change course. I'm tired of being in a job that lacks creativity and working with my hands.
So! I have applied to the North American Institute of Swiss Watchmaking! You've inspired me so much that I bought some tools, took apart (and reassembled) all of my watches. I love it and I'm very excited to start this new journey!
Thats awesome man good luck on your journey ahead.
Kudos to your decision.👍🏻
I have a master of craftmanship in Germany. It is mandatory to do an aprentiship for 3and a half years followed by a strict governement observed test ( Gesellenprüfung ) . If U pass U are allowed to work in this branch. U have to work in this buisness for 3 ... 5 years . After that U are allowed to apply for " Master of craftmanship - school " - Meisterschule. 2 years full time or 4 years part time after work. Followed by another test where U have to show Your skills, prepare a Masterpiece and proove Ur knowledge in several sessions monitored by experienced masters and governement officials. If U pass, they hand U a very fancy certificate and only with this or similar ( Großer Befähigungsnachweis / Meisterbrief ) U are allowed to open a shop in Germany. So good luck for U if U want to compete with us ...
Heiko Panzlaff Wobei hast du den "Meistertitel", beim Uhrenmachen?
Awesome!! Hope you have great success and happiness
Speaking as a retired auto mechanic, I've taken apart, and reassembled many complex units (engines, transmissions, ABS controls, and even a few ECM's), but I am trully amazed at the complexity of watches! To be able to disassemble, repair, and reassemble is an art. Something I would never attempt! You, sir, are a true craftsman. Good job, and a great vid.
Ain't no way I could do that...🤔Maybe after a couple of drinks.
Buy a couple of non working watches and see where that goes. Have fun.
They're trained to do this. The vast majority of watch movements are the same ; so there are few if no surprises there. A car engine has far more parts. What requires skill, however, is operating with such small parts, especially when you have to repair or fabricate them.
Its something you can learn in 4 weeks. No different to torquing headbolts or adjusting valve clearances, etc, you just need to know the method of each task
@Alexander im taking apart replica rolex movements based on watching videos on youtube. Lets not pretend here. Like any skill, you just need to know the tricks if the trade. You could do my job after watching videos for 4 weeks
Imagine getting half way through with the saw and realising you got it mixed up with the real one 😂
from afar it's not that easy to spot the fake :)))
I hope he did ! Tosser
I guess that most people are very unlike you. 🤣
A real one would've broken the saw
Don’t even think about it would give you the chills.
I feel sad for the watch. It didn't choose to be made as a fake, and now it gets cut in half :(
That was shit cutting the watch in half. Better giving her someone as a little gift .
Yeah not everyone can afford a watch this is disgusting. This should be reported to RUclips for destroying a beautiful time piece.
I agree with both of you.
@Alpha Llama I agree
The fake is real good, watch please don't cut in half , give it to me.
During the Soviet Union era I make tons of money fixing watches. I started like а hobby , love fixing things , I love mechanic.lm a mechanical engineer.Because of some personal reasons I don't do it anymore, but I still love it and missed badly. I still have my tools ready for action. Thank you for this beautiful presentation.
I bought one of their fake cameras. Talk about junk. I gave it to my daughter and it failed after about 3 rolls of film.
Either me
What do you think of Восток?
why r hiding behind the FAKE NAME?
@@liquidh6344 good , underestimated cheap watch
Just think what a movement like this took to build 40 years ago. Today we knock it, when I started machining I could only hope my machines, training, skill would get good enough to build things like this. 40 years later and some of these parts being made in mass production with the tolerances they have is amazing!
One thing for an artist or team with unlimited time build a clock. Now make that process so repeatable and skill free while still working well and assembled by a kid in a dirt floor factory by the thousands and you are a MASTER!
4:53 Oil, hair and fingerprints, I'm surprised you didn't find the guy's lunch in there.
and his aunt 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Hahaha!!
Where did you think that oil came from? =D
@@yadabub the ole slick willy
And poop.
Honestly, I would have paid £50 for that with or without the Rolex badge because it was still a nice watch with a surprisingly complex build. With so many alternate ways to find out the time, I couldn't justify spending more on a watch than what I spent on my last vehicle.
Whoever made this watch, I still give them some respect for putting so much effort into making a hell of an impressive knockoff...
You should see the real knock offs. Like indistinguishable until taken completely apart.
Hate to be the bubble burster, but this isn't impressive as far as reps go. This is a sub-$100 replica. Shit tier. Look up a VSF Submariner. That's an impressive replica. Without a genuine reference in your other hand, nearly impossible to say that it's a replica.
so you would like to buy a foolex to show off.
Well.. assembled by basically slaves in china from stolen build plans
Michael Pielorz
Better than putting more than 10k on the table for almost the exact same thing and being fooled by rolex
The fact that you can dismantle that many pieces then put it back together is IMPRESSIVE !!! 👍😁😄
Most people can do it with practice. The hard part, that isn't evident in these videos taken through magnifying lenses, is manipulating these tiny parts. I mean, they are tiny, tiny.
I'm a novice and I appreciate every single video an expert-level watch maker does that shows me the work from beginning to end. I love the creative way you introduced the watch. Funny! I'll say this, even with the oil and one or two metal slivers the parts themselves don't look shoddy. The watch looks like a good practice mechanism. Such a helpful demonstration of a straight service. Two years later, still useful. Thank you. I aim to get good enough one day to skillfully dismantle a watch and then fully clean, oil, and reconstruct it.
It would have been very interesting to measure whether the watch is more accurate than before after expert maintenance.
17:30 :D
I hate to admit it but for $50 I'd buy it.
I wouldn't wear it for social purpouses but as a everyday beating piece if it is keeping good time? Definitly. I use indeed a pair of Vostok Amphibians for beach and trekkings so why not that fake if it is cleaned and serviced?
@@pericodelospalotes5738 i got a genuine walmart special, has a alarm a light and never needs winding plus it cost under ten dollars . i don't have time for triflin' hoes i push a Porsche and wear gucci sneakers with brioni jackets i don't need a wristwatch to show ime in , i already know my level of coolness descends past a timex or rolex
Junk is junk
Where can I buy one tho, I have tried looking for one for 50$ and it’s impossible
Don't ever wear fake watch I rather wear 20 dollars watch knowing it's genuine than wearing replica luxurious watch if you like Rolex save up for it you can buy decent Rolex as low as 3500 dollars not top notch but atleast it's real ome
I personally thought this was a great presentation and a clear guide on how one should strip and put back together this watch. I am genuinely impressed with the tools and obvious care you give to them. 👍
I just love that Mark cleaned & applied lube perfectly
, just as if it was a quality movement, to see if there was an improvement in amplitude, beat & rate. I enjoyed this strip & rebuild as much as any you've done, so not a waste of time at all.
wirdy1 / agreed! Mark used all his customary care while working on this fake. He’s pure class.
Haha, I was thinking the same when he polished the case back after he put it back on.
Even for it being a fake you have to appreciate the fact that they went through all that pain to create something phony and it has over a million tiny parts🤦♂️
over a billion*
Yeah and the second hand even moved like the real McCoy. Usually the fakes sweep like a quartz watch.
Oh, yeah, a billion...
that movement is a mass-produced chinese one, there nothing impresive on it lol, it probably cost like $20 or less
@@helpmepleasee5797 NO ONE MENTIONED COST! LIKE I SAID, THE TROUBLE THEY WENT THROUGH TO TRY TO FOOL YOU IS WHAT IS IMPRESSIVE! AND IT HAS MANY PARTS!
I would much rather see a breakdown of a top of the line Rolex fake.
Me too
got one yachtmaster.has all the markings etc..but its fake had a shop check it out said even though its fake still worth five hundred plus..had found in street
Well its like a real one
Yip..I think Rolex would demand its taken off you tube as they SO good!
@@miguelcastaneda7236 I unashamedly own a few but tell people that they are fake lol but yes I have one that was about 640 online I got it in a debt and it fooled a pawn shop and a second hand jewellery shop.... As a social experiment but yep they are getting better I own seiko usually as a real normal watch but the reps I wear on site lol
Ever the professional took care during the strip down and re assembly. Then cuts in in half with an angle grinder.
Nah, he scratched the metal when he assembles the wrist band at 19:18
This gives me anxiety from both possible lost tiny parts and forgetting how it goes back together
As a retired Nautical Engineer where everything small onboard ship weighs a ton its nice to see the other end of the scale. With my eyes these days I don't think I would see most of the parts let alone work on them. Great video enjoyed immensely.
I noticed that despite being a replica you treat the mechanism with delicacy as if it were a rolex
well... before he took the angle grinder to it anyway.
You have to, its made from old tincans
How else would he treat a square inch sized mechanical object?
Since it's not a rolex is he supposed to use a baseball bat and a grill brush to work on it?
You just HAD do be noticed I guess.
I've got a few of these some 15 years old and they still work perfectly, whats not to like, decently made, all stainless, I have swam in them, never had a problem.
I knew there were a lot of parts in a watch: gears, springs, bolts, but I didn't think they were 5 times more than I thought they were. Anyway, it is an extremely demanding job in terms of attention! Congratulations man!
You should see a real roles movement. Built so well. Or check out a movement with several complications and finishings and you will be blown away
Obsessed with the elegance of Swissarex.
Even though it's a fake, I'm amazed at how intricate all the parts are.
That’s how all mechanical watches look like, imagine a high end movement with insane complications? Compared to this fake’s movement... 😁
I'd give him 40 for it,and I'd be happy. You're not gonna tell your friends you bought a 2g watch,you'd just say i bought a moody rolex in a pub car park.(unless you're an idiot)
Like they took all that time and hand craftsmanship to make a fake 😂
Mass production and castings instead of machining from solid and hand fitting/assembly stamped gears plastic parts you name it that corner has been cut
Check out a few of the repair videos of genuine Swiss movements - Rolex, Omega and the like. Pretty clear this movement is very crude in comparison.
In Poland so few people can actually afford a Rolex that even if you buy original one people still be laughing that you bought Bolex or fake one xD
Thanks for the fun. Out of curiosity, you're one of the few who are actually qualified to look at a super clone. Wish you'd change your mind. But why don't you want to?
Love all the "extra" parts they include.
Maybe he'd be inadvertently giving tips for these high quality clones to better improve their scheme? Seems like unlike the makers of these cheap ones they actually have an interest in being able to fool professionals and being able to see what he notices would tell them what to change/improve etc. Just a thought
@@MogDog66 But they can just take it to a Rolex AD and they'll tell you instantly on the computers...
He doesn't want to drop $3000-6000 on a fake watch for a video yet... just not worth it.
@@PepRex I wish! The AD does the same thing we would do. Look closely at it. Nobody will certify an original without paying for a return to manufacturer service. And if fake, you don't get it back. Buy from someone you trust or buy new at an AD. Nobody helps buyers in the used market.
@@MogDog66 They already know what to do. the reason they don't is they're keeping costs down and profits high
Back in the 70s, my dad was being talked to by one of those watch salesmen on the street in Chicago, the "salesman"..(bum)....said the watch had 14 jewels....my dad thought diamonds and rubies were hidden inside and bought it for 75 bucks back then!! He took it apart and that was that.....
So what is your point?
@@WindDancer435He was joking that his dad was ignorant of what it meant to have 14 jewels; he thought the jewels were inside and looked for them. The "Moral of the story" is, caveat emptor.
I sold all fake watches and jewelry just opening my trench coat lined and no clothes on all the women didn't give a fuck about the watches
I find it really amazing how you treat each movement with "respect" Cleaning, lubricating and setting it on a timegrapher even though it's a fake. Okay, cutting it up with an angle grinder is not respectful. Thanks for your videos. I have missed them. Mark
He put a bandaid tho.
@@RaphaelAguirre 😂😂😂😂
It was like stopping a heart when you removed the balance wheel and starting/reviving it again when you put it back. So satisfying to watch. But then you destroyed the poor thing, that made me feel sad.
I absolutely love to see a true craftsman at work!!
You mean the grinder part? 🤔
Where could I buy one of these for 50£ ?
Asking for a friend.
Thanks
I'd like to see a video about the Breitling "Montbrillant Serie Limitée" - 50 pieces. The cases were made in 18k rose or yellow gold and contained earlier movements which were basically new/old stock. Beautiful brushed silver dial. There is very little information on the net. Thanks.
It was cool to see someone pull one of these fakes completely apart and reassemble. Admittedly, I would have like to see its performance after the rebuild and more play time with the angle grinder afterwards lol
I'm so Sad, you just destroyed the Best assembled and serviced Fake I've seen.
Why? Intellectual property theft shouldn't be supported.
augiedauggie Don’t buy chinese
@@augiedoggie who's actually getting hurt when a £50 Rolex is sold? It's not like that money would have ever gone to Rolex. They're not losing any potential sales since anyone who could afford a Rolex and wants one will just buy one. The people who buy reps could never afford a real one.
@@TransistorBased somewhat true, however the super reps in the rep community have a certain quality. For example the Tudor pelagos, there is a super rep made by ZF factory (I think that's the right one) that is classified as NWBIG (not worth buying in genuine) because the super rep is close to or exceeds 90% gen specs, which includes quality, as well as movement and other things. The rep community is filled with people who own genuine and also own super rep. Mostly because good super reps provide huge amounts of value compared to genuine. Hope that gives you an idea from the rep community.
@@TransistorBased I think it could be argued that even just the existence of fakes is enough to 'diminish' the brand, and maybe even turn people off from buying the genuine article, if say they worry about the idea of people spotting their watch and thinking "bet that's a fake." We know this happens. I daresay, even though Rolex is powerful enough not to have to worry about this when it comes to the bottom line, it does still affect the perception of the brand itself. Aside from that, I have a moral problem with inauthenticity at its very root. Fraudulence is just something to be very wary of.
I have a Parnis Pilot with the same movement (with violet wheel) and works very good. It was interesting to see how this one is serviced. The movement could be used at least for spare here.
I'm amazed at just how many parts there are it's incredible. Even as a fake I feel £50 is far too cheap for a mechanical watch look at the work involved!
Awhhh, I was thinking what lucky person is going to end up with a professionally serviced timepiece!! Great vid!
I had a great time with swissarex. The watch arrived promptly and matched the description accurately.
After finding fingerprints in the watch I thought you’d do some digging to see whose fingerprint is it
Lol
Very poor replica though. Would like to send you a top replica to strip down but please don't grind in half. Love your videos.👍👍
😂
where does one get a top replica tho? I used to see some for 1200 USD but then those could have been low ends with high prices. I would have to see it in person to ever buy one i think. I don't trust online
Noobwatches.
@@ScottMshao69 just check up on rwi or rwg forum, you will surely find some trusted dealers from china with excellent shipping or a local deal in the member to member sales section :)
@@ScottMshao69 Please don't spend your money like that. It is scam all around and you'll get a watch that's sold for 50 bucks otherwise
The watch I purchased from swissarex was of a high caliber, which astonished me. It closely resembles the original.
That one Chinese kid that worked on this replica day and night at the sweatshop to get those hard-earned 2 cents be like:
👁👄👁
You gotta give it 2 kids they working real hard
From South Africa I watched, because although technically skilled the ability to perform such a strip down and re assembly is astonishing I stand in awe. After that display of skill, I too would have thought to keep the watch, even if only to take the mickey out of the know it alls.... well done 👏
People are always amazed at how I can remember how a car goes back together even when I don't seem to keep things in order that is how I'm feeling watching you do a watch I would be lost
For 50 qu
I can put watches and gramophones back together, but I can't figure out how to rebuild my dad's bike...
well at least its got some jewel bearings, i bought a Chinese watch in the 80's that was just metal on metal
Then it is not chinese movement. Believe or not, all chinese mechanical movement have jewels bearing.
@@Kido-the-Watchmaker Probably a Timex....Their claim to fame was not having any jewels !
I'd have gone back to the guy with it cut in half asking for my money back. Would have been amusing seeing his reaction.
In what i do, "swamped with oil" usually means there's oil coming out of any gap or opening
It was such a sad movie...I cried at the end...
Quality like no other, that's Swissarex.
swissarex has the best collection of replica watches I've seen so far.
This is like watching ASMR...just before bed...
In shear awe of your skill including disassembly/assembly, steadiness of hand, and first attempt success with tiny tiny components! Did you do the filming/editing? No surprise if you’re world class at that too.
Never knew a watch had so many parts. Gave me anxiety lol who ever builds these by hands i admire you lol
I have a Tissot watch that is similar in caliber to an Omega (both brands are owned by the massive Swatch Group) and accidentally broke it. It took a MONTH for them to repair it but it works fine now and can hold a "charge" for over a day.
@@largol33t1 One month, to repair how much did they charge you for that?
If I would like to learn the art, where would I start? I am a marine engineer who does repairing on bigger less sofisticated things. Your video was truly enjoyable one. The attention to detail and the importance of each tiny component plays is thrilling to watch.
A fascinating exercise in futility. Did rebuilding it not make it more reliable? Was the destruction in the end more for dramatic effect? Inquiring minds want to know:)-John in Texas
The fact that you can all reput this together is astonishing to me !
He so intracately put it back together. What a true sport.
17:30 "It's probably more likely to perform for longer".
19:50 Probably not...
Love your video’s, to be honest when you had finished it did look nice, couldn’t believe you took your angle grinder to it !
Memorizing! I would be happy to wear even that fake watch with that inexpensive movement after that servicing! Nice video
I'm guessing the movement, cheap as it might be, was made by a legitimate watchmaking business in China. That it was encased in a fake Rolex outside casing was by someone else.
I can't believe you spent all this time, just to cut it up... wow!
Why not
721k views so far... It was worth it
Destroying something: That's the simplest way to make money on RUclips.
waste of a working watch. Disliked
Agreed, that was probably about £300 of man hours.
It’s amazing how you know how it goes back all together so many parts
go back to the seller and say : Dude,the watch you sell me is broken, look!
Would love to see a rebuild of an Omega Bumper Automatic.
19:49 NICE👍🏻
My favorite scene is the dismantling of the fake Rolex.👍🏻
I especially like the ones that say, "Perlative Cronomater" on the dial.
J H: *_Which means it has pearls inside, right?_*
Ive seen perlativer cernometer XD
Essential item for the perlative lifestyle.
Now i kinda want one of those.
My opinion about Chinese movements and oil are as follows. The final step before final assembly is to dip the movements in a solvent with oils incorporated, then just spin and dry. Almost all of the Chinese movements I have worked on, came with an abundance of oil and fingerprints.
In truth I find that, although the parts are not beautifully embellished, they are usually well made and functional parts. Some careful cleaning and gentle touches yield good results.
The timepieces of swissarex are of excellent quality. You wouldn't know they weren't the real deal.
I don't even know what a watch is, but I find this video strangely satisfying
HAHAHA I love this video :) First I enjoy watching you spend what is probably thousands of dollars worth of labor on a $20 movement, and then at the end destroying it all! Thanks for the fun :)
I find ur craft truly amazing, and mind blowing to know and understand each movement and which part do what,with the use of ur tools is simply amazing! I really appreciate watching this video 👍🏾
My experience with swissarex was fantastic. The watch arrived quickly and was exactly as described.
I was hoping you'd demonstrate how the rate had improved after cleaning and re-oiling.
Although it is obviously cheaply made....with a proper rebuild such as this it would probably be half decent and last some years.
I have a 11-year-old fake Rolex sub automatic and it still works as bought at -40s a day now.
Hi there I know nothing about Watchers I have thought and I love them and enjoying them but I've never given it a minute thought into even a fake on like that the amount of work that goes into just for any kind of watch with mechanical background to make it work it's absolutely astonishing all the tiny bits and pieces I'm amazed you know how to do it take it apart and put it back together again astonishing feat of Engineering
I love the layout and colour of the dial, sadly I got better uses for 20k+. Was a shock seeing how much a non gold one was. Hated seeing it destroyed, even though I would never buy a fake.
Get one, c'mon.
It’s nice to see the respect that you have for those tiny machines, even the fake ones. If it beats, it has heart and soul. Congrats!!!!
I wrote too soon!!!!
@@AngeloMr 😂😂
i have exactly like this one. after 9 years, it is still working.
This is my theory on the excess oil and debris. It stopped the first time due to excess debris from a dusty and overcrowded plant floor. It was returned under warranty and all they did was a lazy clean/lube without the stripdown (too much time consuming and not worth the sale price). The excess oil was left in to ensure that it kept running for a couple of weeks hoping the debris would just slide around but not jam it.
Cutting it with the angle grinder looked cool and the final fix with the band aid made me chuckle.
People rarely fall for the "genuine Rolex" act anymore, they intentionally seek out to buy a good-looking fake. So the new scam seems to be selling bad cheap fakes as high-quality replicas.
Maybe in a few decades the scam will be trying to pass off real Rolex watches as "better than the original" replicas.
Hah! So, they're selling rep reps.
The angle grinder part is the best part to destroy that fake! :D
A $3 movement being serviced by Mr Lovick. Must be a V.I.P. customer to get such service.
the amount of patience from the clock worker😅😅🤯🤯😂😂🤷🏼♂️💪👌
Destroyed a perfectly good watch. Anyone who thinks that genuine Rolex are superior hasn’t footed eye watering repair bills on them.
My Manager at work told me he recently purchased a fake Rolex for $400 (USD) on purpose so he could, in his words, "look cool". Keeping my distance from him now as much as I can...
I would have happily purchased this watch just because of the love and care in which it was assembled! Love workmanship and skill...
I just bought a very nice clone no date 41 mm Submariner to wear when traveling. I recently found out how much my 2006 14060M has appreciated don't want it ripped off my wrist when in Italy in particular. For $200 it is cheap insurance and I now have the original's model serial number registered with Chubb. BTW, this was a terrific video. There are a couple of equally talented local watch technicians locally and may have my clone serviced when return from Europe.
WHAT A PERFECTLY GOOD WASTE OF A BANDAID MATE!
I kept asking myself why I’m watching this guy service a fake Rolex until the grinder at the end.
This is literally like walking into Home Depot and looking at anything metal - that same dull recycled steel that won't possibly test to what they claim it will. Rusts easily, tears and strips out, and is just a mess of stray bits and burrs. Lol. The most entertaining part, IMO, about this "watch", are the glass bits that they are passing off as "jewels".
great job, as usual, congratulations and thanks, however I allow myself to observe after such a masterful service, I would have changed dials and spheres, creating a moddened watch on the rolex base. Every time I see a destroyed watch, whatever it is, I feel bad.
I agree - in some weird way that watch was alive. It had a heartbeat and was happy to tell you the time - only for it to get killed :-(
This was sooooo good. You so lovingly worked on the fake lol.
I enjoy these videos immensely - especially when you apply lubricant.
This channel is literally JerryRigEverything but watches
1. Why destroy the movement?
2. Wouldn't it be better to give it away with a sterile dial?
