Thank you 🙏
Just so fantastic, thank you for sharing. Really a good job, very nice work.
Thank you 🙏
Absolutely Amazing Work👍👍👍
Art in motion. The ability to restore watches to their original finish gives back meaning to why watches exist in the first place, that is to be worn and enjoyed. These days social media have hyped certain brands and watches that these watches are no longer seen as functional tools but as expensive commodities.
Thank you ☺️
wonderful👏 I've been watching this video every 2/3 days for months ❤️🔥
I have no words. Unbelieveable craftmanship. Thank you for this video.
Dear Dennis, thank you 🙏
Top notch! So good to see real watchmaking skills rather than fake horological youtubers
Thank you very much ☺️🙏🙏
What superb work!! I hope to use this guy in the near future..... a true craftsman
Thank you 🙏
Great work. Searching for a Slow Disc grinder like yours.
Super restoration
Outstanding job, Sir. A piece of art. Just jaw dropping. Like NOS. If any of my watches needs restoration, you are the right man. Anytime! And yes, you may polish the case where it's needed. Why not, I'm not a flipper and I don't preserve my watches for others, except for my family. Best wishes.🍀
Thank you very much for your comment 😊🙏
Stunning...
Stunning 👌
That is really impressive, such amazing skills, keep it up!
Thank you 🙏
OMG! really nice job
Thanks! Would be more than happy if you give me a like and subscribe to my channel! 🙏😃
Excellent work Sir.
Thank you 🙏
This deserves more likes and views 😍
Thank you ☺️🙏
One of the most beautiful Submariners for sure.
Indeed, a very beautiful one!
Ottimo restauro!!! Bravissimo
Thanks 🙏
If you were to 3d scan this finished product vs a factory NOS 5512, would this restored version be identical?
Excellent.
Thanks 🙏
Excelente
Looks absolutely incredible wish I could buy it off you 😢
Master class.
Thank you 🙏
Wonderful work by a truly skilled craftsman and artisit. I have a 1971 unpolished Rolex 5513 that I would have this guy restore in a minute.
Thank you 😊 Would love to restore your Rolex! 😃
@@Vintwatches let me know where you are, and i will send it. Can you service a Rolex?
We‘re located in Germany, check out our website Vintwatches.com for more details.
And of course we service Rolex Watches!
You removed so much metal from the case side that the spring bar is pushing out. Other than that looks very nice. I believe collectors prefer un polished cases, unfortunately you have decreased the value. But I am sure the customer will enjoy this restoration and your excellent work.
Took half the value off that watch with that case reshaping. Collectors don’t even want them polished let alone ground down and welded and reshaped
I know dude, he ground the F out of that poor case!@@Lonnie91a
Have to grind the spring bars down a bit then the owner will have to wear it for 5 years solidly and then no one will know.
It will be our dirty little secret.@@antsfur
Any thoughts about encompassing closer shots of your process by utilizing a microscope with your videos?
What grit sand paper do you use? I like the video, good learning aid.
You have some nice tools
Good as new...
Amazing job. Thanks for sharing. Just one question : how did you manage to lap the case on the crown side ? Using a lapping machine seems not possible due to the shape of the case
You need a special stick grinder for the crown side.
Beautiful work, excellent finish, one of a kind 5512, my favourite watch of all times, thank you for sharing. Crap music though...
wow!
Hi there what Settings are using on the puk welder
Actually I don’t remember. I switched to a Laserwelder years ago, sorry!
Did you get the chamfers on ?
4 digit cases just look so good, it's unreal. Perfectly executed restoration! Only question: 47:17 the way the bezel sticks out in comparison to the case width is pretty substantial now, no?
Yeah that case is ruined now as is the collector value of that watch. Some people shouldn’t be allowed to work on vintage pieces.
It already looked like that in the 'before' shot ruclips.net/video/SB5_Kg54POQ/видео.html
@@Lonnie91ayeah and one day when there is no metal left on the lugs you will have to get an exact copy bare case made in China to make it look like new again, no one will know if it's done properly 😮
Great video, do you have any more details on the SECURE LAQUER? look’s like a really useful step when working on the case
NGL Protective Lacquer 2002 ROSE “Horloger Rouge”
Great job one of the best restauration i have seen, my question what would this job cost ?
Thanks, for quotes, please contact me through my website or by email.
Эта модель под номером 5513. У 5512 на циферблате надпись сертифицированный хронограф.
Question. You put a gasket beneath the bezel clamp. I thought those only came through after the 1680 was discontinued. Which gaskets did you use? Did you loctite the crystal as well?
That's the crystal clamp ring or what ever one calls it
Had the 5513 next model up wish wish I still had it tweaked to chronometer speck value in mint condition skyrocketed cost me in nineteen eighty two three hundred pounds
Fantastic work.......but 5512 cannot have this dial.
Whats the Name/Brand/Type of Laser you use? Best Regards
Hi, using a Elettrolaser MS35.
Its a 5513 model the last generation and it's not a 5512 model. please double check next time.
It’s now a 38 mm😂
Hahaha no kidding hey.
Narration??
Thats a 5513 not a 5512
Oh my! Please stop sanding on vintage watches especially models like this. Collectors don’t even want them polished and you are sanding and welding it and removing metal and changing the shape of the bezel and case lugs. A new Rolex that’s all banged up sure, but leave the vintage pieces alone. This is exactly why people don’t send vintage watches to Rolex. They get their value destroyed with over polishing and new parts. You just turned a $30-40k highly collectable watch into a $10k watch at best. ***** EDIT now that I see it’s not actually a 5512 as your title says but a 5513, it’s a less expensive watch maybe a $20k watch before and now worth maybe $8k now. Took so much metal off the side that the springbars are poking out. 🤦♂️
OMG is all this true ?
Sorry but what a mistake. Hard core polishing/welding ruins the patina (and value). No serious collector would ever allow this treatment of their vintage watch. My guess 30-50% “polished” off the value.
not to mention totally changing the shape and measurements of the watch. 100% not the same watch any more.
It was polished before so no real harm done. If it was unpolished then yes.
@@truxton1000it was polished before yes, but now the case is completely ruined from a collector standpoint.
BGMうざい
This was difficult to watch, so much metal removed. Spring bars sticking out, no Bueno.
As a hobbyist watchmaker and a long time Rolex collector, I actually clicked off at 4:40. This is just my opinion however the opinion of many vintage collectors that watchmakers need to be good stewards of history and do everything possible to talk a customer out of refinishing and polishing a case like this 5512. With an hours worth of sanding or polishing you just erased decades of history and devalued the watch. Also re-adding the case edge chamfers as many vintage specialty restorers do is the equivalent to faux patina. That jubilee 62510H band isn't correct to the 5512 since it was only offered on an oyster band however I think it looks great on a vintage piece like the 5512 as long as you keep the original band. My feeling is if one wanted to tighten up a badly worn oyster or jubilee with new pins that's not really an issue to most collectors as safety and prevention of the band failing is more important. I'd have just pushed the owner for a movement service with all the gaskets and polished the plexi clear. If you want a newer no date Sub, there are plenty of 14060's for sale.
Actually at the end of the day the customer decides what he wants us to do on his watch. Some people like the original condition others want to have it restored. There is no right or wrong, you should like your watch on your wrist how you would like to have it!
@@Vintwatches That's fine. As long as owners understand the loss in value and many collectors that if faced with other original options will likley pass on the one that was fully restored for one that was untouched.
Incredible work👍
Thanks 😊
