Absolutely fantastic work,I could watch you using your watchmaking skills all day long . Fascinating and really informative videos, good luck in all your future business ventures
I can answer that a bit, I feel parts are in a lot of cases not to bad through ebay but, there are a couple of parts hard to get and crazy expensive. The mainplate and balance are most expensive if needed to replace other than that I feel it's a bit more expensive then vintage GS parts. I had won a 1500 model for a 1200 euro all in, but it said for parts only and I thought well I can get it running, big mistake because I had to replace quite a lot of parts to get it in a running state.
You must be among the luckiest people on the planet to find a watch that calibre for this price, even if just for parts or defective. I’d nearly say this just doesn’t happen in normal life. Good for you man, liked the video very much.
Greetings from Northern Ireland Peter. Always a pleasure watching your restoration vids. If I need a vintage Rolex restored, I will be engaging your services. Keep the vids coming!
Spectacular work again peter. Always love seeing proper craftsman work. But 1 thing I would really love also would be a side by side with the older. Really show the level of artisanship.
Peter, if this was a family heirloom I could see leaving as original as possible, but for a cheap find my preference would have been to at least replace the crystal, If the watch was mine of course. Great video.
I'm always amazed when I see a professional like you working on a watch! It actually baffles me to think of all the different parts that are there and to keep track of everything as you go through is so fun to watch for someone who will have to wait until my next life to be able to do this! Keep them coming, like I say every week. Love you videos!!!
got my 39mm with the white dial on the 3-link "Bader" bracelet watch on AMZWATCH 3 weeks ago and am loving it to pieces. Absolute fantastic watch that wears super comfortable on my 6.75 inch wrist. Chose the 3-link over the 5-link bracelet for the toolless quick adjustment. Way more comfortable than my Longines Hydroconquest 41 mm.
Picked up a MAMACOO's watch as my first watch last month and I’m absolutely in love with it. Perfect size, looks elegant, very comfortable. Now my only problem is holding off from buying more watches so quickly!
Can’t beat gold polished Roman numerals that sparkle like jewels in the sunlight. Loving the sun ray dial man that pops!AMZWATCH watches. What a beautiful subtle piece.
It’s amazing you have this skill . I could watch this all day long . I have an old watch from the 70s that was my grandfathers when he first came to America . I wish I could handle business with it to get it ticking again. Thanks for these videos
@@Peterpic it’s a “jubilee” says on the dial . It has a wittnaur movement not automatic. It was his first thing he bought with his first paycheck when he got here in 1971 . Means a lot to me not very valuable.
@@Peterpic Honestly, I prefer the vintage models. The Rolex's I have are mostly the 70s and 80s. I have a 1956 Oyster Perpetual that has a somewhat interesting story. I do have 2 modern Tudors, The Glamour and the BB Pro 29. They are quality builds and are better in every way than my vintage pieces. However, IMO they lack the character and the quirkiness of a Vintage Rolex that is well built but might have a noisy rotor or a clunky C&I bracelet Did you sell it yet? I didn't see it on your page. How much is it?
Beautiful man, inspired me to grab some used bergeon screwdrivers for cheap and a few other basic tools to just fiddle with watches, love the content mate!!
How do you alter the beat error? I have never seen it being done and I’m just starting work on watches slowly and would love to see that. Great informative video as always with great craftsmanship. Thank you brother 👍🏻🏴
Thats excellent restoration work. Doesnt even look like the same rolex😮. That clasp and bracelet looks like new! Theres was that deep scratch on the clasp that no longer is visible and looks new.
I don’t mean to brag but I picked up a 1978 1500 for $800 a few months back. It has a gold zephyr bezel. And crown. Great video by the way. Mine needs some work. You wanna fix her up?
Pete, love your Rolex restoration videos. I do not own any yet however I have vintage Grand Seikos, Omegas etc. Love the vintage pieces. I want to get a 1601 DJ silver dial/fluted bezel on jubilee, I like the tapestry dial also. Get one eventually to go with my vintage collection. Pete I notice the older models have a more domed crystal, was that factory?
Just something I noticed, the train wheel bridge says its a 1570 however you don't have a hack so the mainplate is from a 1530 I think. Love the outcome though!
how much is all equipment together that's needed to perform this? how many hours does it take in all to do this? what would you charge a client for such a service? how much $value of oil/lubricants you consume for a service?
@@timvanmonero2720 I buy tons of tools constantly, oils last a decent amount of time it really just depends how much you service to determine life of them. Tooling as long as you keep up with them they could last a long time
MAMACOO is one of my favorite watch manufacturers they do offer beautifull dials, good workmanship & moovements.That smooth sweeping second hand is truly mesmerizing！
Great video, very accurate analysis. In my 4.5 years in the game as a watch collector and enthusiast, I collected a lot from MAMACOO I was thinking I was able to get a blue SD but I'm not vip enough, but I'm not giving up. Hehe. Great video.

Thank you very much Keith!
Watched the last restoration video. Can you add a price breakdown of what Rolex parts cost. No one talks about them during the restoration process
ahh yea forgot about that next one for sure !
@@Peterpicthat would definitely be cool
You can just google it

Good for you man, liked the video very much.
Deal of a lifetime. Wow! great work
Your telling me😂 very good price for a new daily watch
Looks great. These older references have so much character
Excellent job, it looks great!!! You are a credit to your craft sir!!
Thank you very much!
I am always perplexed at how you guys know how to put everything back correctly. Great job
Practice makes perfect! 😂

ehh for this specifically keeping all of the original parts was key for exterior but it can always be swapped at a later time
Some of the best work i've seen on YT, really tasteful and skilled restoration
You're a master of your craft. Pete

This is such a great breakdown video Peter and an amazing transformation in the condition of the watch.
Appreciate it! Less is more in these scenarios a little tlc goes a long way!
Awesome work. Makes me want to buy one and send to you. Great job Pete!!!
You should haha, thanks for watching
I don't understand how the hands could get scratches. Anyone want to educate this newbie?
Thats excellent restoration work. Doesnt even look like the same rolex😮. That clasp and bracelet looks like new! Theres was that deep scratch on the clasp that no longer is visible and looks new.
Great job for a wonderful watch 👍
thank you!
Subscribed! This is awesome. Especially for someone wanting to get into this stuff.
Great video, the watch looks beautiful now.
I think so too! Thanks for watching

Great work on that time piece.
Thanks for watching appreciate it!
F@ckn love the vids Pete ! Shit keeps me glued ! And this dude answers his dm’s , love ya Pete !
Hell yea! This is awesome to hear
What is that mat with wich you finished the bracelet and buckle polishing?
the pre finish is on basically scotch brite
9:41 How the hell did you learn to rewire a cleaning machine?
Tons of videos and forum posts haha super simple really 😂
@@Peterpicand I thought Adrian @LB taught you how😊
Great video peter
Thanks 👍

yes it is factory ! and when you're ready I always have those watches
@@PeterpicDo you restore watches like if I sent you one from UK 🤔
@สมชายใหญ่เสมอ-ฝ2ฤ He does and he mentions it. His phone number is in the videos, contact him.
Peter. How could you tell it was an after market main spring? What is the cost of the proper main spring?
very easy when you unravel it from the barrel and see its missing a lead
Fantastic job on that Rolex. Curious what year the watch was released?
Can you please let me know when you put that watch for sale. Thank you
hey this piece is not for sale
Pete, you made him a great watch!
Thank you very much!
Peter you kill it!!!
Thank you very much!
how do you find OEM rolex parts? I thought they had cracked down on anyone selling them
can't reveal my sources haha but you definitely have to know people in this industry
incredible work
thank you!
Peter I have the same mastermatic. Can you send me the link for the basket you have that one is awesome
honestly it came with the machine
OK, I’ll try Google lensing it
another killer job. Bravo
thanks Joe!
The movement by itself is worth 2X what you paid for the whole thing, great deal!!
heavily agree! can't beat it even if its for parts only haha
Great job looks great
Thank you! Cheers!
Great job as always, next time it would be awesome a final clip of the "before and after" to really show off the work done.
Good idea! thanks for watching
Oh well done mate,kept all the creases and left in the heavyier dings,RESULT as ws say .
@@davidobrien9362 this guy gets it! Thanks for watching
What you've paid for this restoration you have an outstanding daily Rolex that will never let you down.
Fabulous post I love horology
thank you!
The stem removal? Is it the D10 ?? Thanks
What do you mean?
@@Peterpic screw that holds stem secure? What did you call it? D ten?
Great video, thank you
Glad you liked it!
nice one! what did you end up listing it for?
Not for sale, client bought it and sent for service
What do you charge for this level of troubleshooting and cleaning ? Ballpark
This service with replacement parts came out to $500 including overnight insured shipping both ways!
@@Peterpic Not sure with what others charge but that’s a great price for quality work
Great job once again 👏
Is this watch for sale if yes which model and number is this and year how much?
Fantastic, great job.
Thank you! Cheers!
Fantastic work
Just something I noticed, the train wheel bridge says its a 1570 however you don't have a hack so the mainplate is from a 1530 I think. Love the outcome though!
Funny enough I noticed that as well, however I believe the 1530/70 share the same mainplate
@@Peterpic it's only the space for the hack which is different, I've looked at a 1530 plate to replace mine but found a 1570 cheaper.
master peter kills it again
Appreciate it!!
Could you tell me what a service from you would cost on average
All services other than Daytonas and other brands start at 400
how much is all equipment together that's needed to perform this?
how many hours does it take in all to do this?
what would you charge a client for such a service?
how much $value of oil/lubricants you consume for a service?
@@timvanmonero2720 I buy tons of tools constantly, oils last a decent amount of time it really just depends how much you service to determine life of them. Tooling as long as you keep up with them they could last a long time

MAMACOO is one of my favorite watch manufacturers they do offer beautifull dials, good workmanship & moovements.That smooth sweeping second hand is truly mesmerizing！
Love your watch restoration videos. Keep up the good work! Out of curiosity, how long did it take you to be a watchmaker?
I don't think there's ever a point where you stop learning in this trade, but it has taken me years to get here
love these videos Peter thanks. keep it up man your doing great work. Beautiful work here Peter.
Thanks John appreciate the support as always!
Hope you don’t mind me asking but what is the price of all that work
This watch was around 540 all in including shipping back and forth along with parts
@@Peterpic ok thanks a lot 👍
Watch is beautiful.
Beautiful job well done
Thank you so much 😀
Very nice Peter Thankyou ! Pierre
Glad you enjoyed it
Would have been nice to see how you restored the crystal. Great job.
Polywatch does the job.
@@b_altmann on a crystal that bad? I doubt it, but I’m no expert.
@@notyourdaddy8300 well that’s what he did as it was not replaced.
@@b_altmann yeah I guess so 🤷♀️
Another banger of a video! Stunning result
appreciate it !!
Love your channel with so many stellar watches! For me the MAMACOO’ watch is my favorite. Keep the videos coming. Thanks.
By the way how long did it take to do everything on this watch?
Full overhaul and complete refinish roughly two days so assume 12 hours
If i tried just to take that watch apart and put it back together correctly it would probably take me 40 years. Great work as always.
Haha all practice! Over the years it gets easier and easier
found one 2 buy for 4500$ NEW from 1977 box and papars from korea. its a good deal?
Where can i get a good pair of boxwood tweezers?
honestly I found a place on aliexpress that sells them and replacement tips they're great
Nice work: 👍👏👌!
thank you.
Thanks for watching
