Here I thought “fresh” died with the 90’s but you’re definitely bringing it back! Love your videos, bro. They’re super fresh! 😊😊
😅 Thanks for watching
Fresh has a new set of legs !!
The extended sections with the staking set and beat correction error on the Patreon videos were HUGELY helpful for me at my level. The unedited Patreon subscriber videos are a fantastic idea. Way more useful than you might think. Thanks!!!
Thanks for that. Glad it was useful for you 👍🏻👍🏻
This shows watchmaking is really a fine art. Thanks Mat, I especially enjoyed this one!
Thanks for watching 👍🏻👍🏻
Great video. Most Rolexes don't really do it for me, but I really like the Air King
I personally like the vintage pieces but not the modern stuff at all. Thanks for watching
I’d like to thank the RUclips algorithm for recommending this to me. Great video, love your commentary.
haha the algorithm delivered nicely! Thanks for watching
You had to put the work in on this one. Great video. It's a beautiful watch. Thanks for the video Matt
Thanks Darryll 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Another job well done! A beautiful and timeless timepiece.
Thank you! Cheers!
Brilliant skills on some real challenges ! Great video - thoroughly enjoyed it - Thanks :)
Thanks so much!
Some of you best work HB. I’m tempted to try my hand at watchmaking. Not with my watches of course 😂
You should for sure! Thanks for the compliment 😊
great job!!!
Thank you 👍🏽
great video matt I'm still on that Certina lol and the pocket watch and that Cyma lol
Cheers fella. You'll get there 💪
Thanks mate it's parts every time i try to look online it just someone trying to sell me watches can you list sites where i can find information and not sales people it's not fresh anymore!@@HorologyBiology
Nicely done.
Thank you! Cheers!
Quite a job to sort out, thanks Matt 👍
Thanks for watching Tom.
Great video!
Glad you enjoyed it
In the wide shots we can see the signs of a true professional - clean, tidy and uncluttered workbench.
Thank you so much ☺️
Great job!
Thank you! Cheers!
Great video. Thanks.
You are welcome!
Wait why is your nickname and profile pucture similar with mine
I knew it HB, Bob just couldn’t keep this one a secret. Hope you are now keeping well. Regards from New Zealand 🇳🇿
Haha thanks Bruce 💪🏻💪🏻
Nice job on the Duofix shock setting! Nice and easy..... 😊
Cheers Mike 👍🏻👍🏻
I'm not a big fan of Rolex watches myself but to see that someone has glued a part in a Rolex or indeed any watch is unbelievable 😮nice video good information as well keep up the good work
I was sadly surprised as well 🤮 Thanks for watching 👍🏻
Beautiful watch
Thanks for watching 👍
Riveting. Photography as usual is super fresh. Commentary nails it. Explaining the reason for doing a particular system shows experience. Not happy with Rolex? I'm sure the Rolex is happy with you. The visuals of the shock settings is just brilliant. Looking forward to the working videos.
Thanks as always Ross 👍 👍
New video, Super Fresh Super Nice!
You know this!
Fresh indeed
💪🏻💪🏻
I would like to see a USA Hamilton, like a 987 movement renovation. These are gorgeous simple movements and virtually no videos on this movement.
If one ever pops up 👍🏻👍🏻
Fantastic fix. Hopefully no more glue in this watch's future for 60 more years.
Thanks for watching 💪🏻💪🏻
I just hope that you got a great price on it!
Not my watch. Thanks for watching 👍🏻👍🏻
Your oiling skills always blow me away!.... and the way you just plonk the second hand on is insaine (I'm not bitter at all, take a breath Trev) :D
Very nice video yet again, out of intrest do you prefer the rubber ball rather than oyster tool to open and close the case ? (I don't know what rolex was thinking personally?)
Microscopes help with the oiling for sure 💪🏻💪🏻 I am a big fan of the rubber balls but to be clear that watch was finally tightened up with my heavy duty case back opener/closer. It came with the special Rolex dogs for it.
Takk!
Thank you Francis 🙏
Wonder what your skills would do with my grandfather's old pocket watch. Elgin, 1936- it was a gift when he graduated high school. Near as I can tell, never been serviced, though it is a bit dinged up and the dial shows its age. Doesn't run badly, about +18s/d, but I'd love to know what an old classic could really do.
Thanks for watching. I'm not sure what I could do with a pocket watch but you can email me some pics 👍
What tool did you use to open the rolex caseback? Do I need a special tool?
I get it -- this is an Oyster Perpetual that was modded by having an Air-King dial fitted to it.
That's what I said 👍 Thanks for watching
Would love to win the watch…love the content,I follow a few watchmakers on RUclips and I think this channel is great 👍
Thanks for the support 💪🏻💪🏻
There must be a lot of man cheese on the watch. The dial is looks nice but definitely effects on the value of the watch as people mostly looking at Rolex watches as an investment. I watching a lot of video about luxury watches and what i see is in New York City’s diamond district jewelers often swapping dials on Rolexes to pimping up a little bit as it goes better if there are diamonds on the dial hands.
There were some levels of man cheese for sure but on the man cheese of doom radar I give it a 4/10
I love these "working man" watches from Rolex and Omega, this Air King as well as the Railmaster/Milgauss. Luckily, I'm a poor bastard and won't be forced to choose between either of them...
Plenty of other nice watches out there for cheaper imo 💪🏻💪🏻 Thanks for watching
When you kicked off I was all "Hey man, why do we always feel the need to do down the person who previously worked on a watch" then at exactly @2:41 I was "WE NEED TO HUNT THIS DUDE DOWN!!!"
Hahaha I hear you. I’m always mad humble until I see crap laziness like this 😅 Thanks for watching 👍🏻👍🏻
I’ve no idea where you are, because your accent is a mixture of European British and American. It sounds like you’ve lived in Holland, Manchester, and somewhere in the United States.😂 fantastic work on the watch by the way
You're close. Thanks for watching 👍🏽
Welcome to the Dark Side Mat ...
haha never!!!
Always entertaining! Sorry your first Rolex was such a mess. Should be called Ghetto X. Not fresh!
😅 Thanks for watching 👍🏻👍🏻
clean op the mess other people left behind not cool Matt ...
So not fresh :(
Hi HB. I’m not cross I’m just disappointed… Welcome to the dark side 😈!
haha I highly doubt there will be an influx of Rollies on the channel so relax :P
Hi. Good channel.
