After 5 years of watching all types of watches on RUclips, this is the first to see the watchmaker actually adjust those little "stars" on the Rolex when a watch has been past the +6,-4 parameters, nice one, great fix .
Hey! Don’t knock your videography skills Peter. I think this was maybe the slickest one yet. I watch a lot of watch restoration channels and I really like that you talk us through it. Not knocking the other channels, but I don’t care for ASMR. Did an amazing job with this. Thanks for sharing and Merry Christmas ✌🏻
So great to see a blend of selling videos and watch repair. There's so much artistry and craftsmanship that goes into a repair like this. Beautiful work!
These restorations are great, Pete. Being a one man band, it may not be as feasible, but when you get to a point where you can get help, there should be more of these 100%
This is an exceptional way to show off your expertise. Anyone can sell. Not everyone can speak about watches with such knowledge. Keep evolving in social media and with your videos and you will do very well in the coming years. Congrats dude.
Why didn't you ultrasonic clean the movement in clr then soal in wd .A lot of the parts are Brass or plated brass and a ton of rust would have come off. You still have a bit to learn it will be fun to watch you advance .I'm from Miami and lived in NY so I have a Lot of experience with waterlogged watches .Also it's not hard to re plate parts with Rhodium( which is what's correct)
appreciate it! and yes just like everyone always learning love it! CLR or really any evaporust products tend to leave behind a residue and will slowly eat away at bridges, if you check after soaking under a microscope you can actually see a deeper pitting. Using a liquid polish is much safe in my opinion yes these could have been replated unfortunately under a time constraint.
@@Peterpic yes true but lot of jeweler's keep a jar of rhodium solutions Hicham even in the worst cases 10 min.Just giving tips to another hourologist.Like watching your channel. I'm always learning new things from others in the industry
Peter, thanks for bailing me out. This is my watch and Tommy was nice enough to get me in touch with you when Rolex would not touch the watch due to the after market part. She's back on my wrist now and keeping time beautifully. This was a college graduation present from my parents in 1994 and was purchased in Davos, Switzerland where my parents have a home. My mom is Swiss. For those reasons this watch means so much to me so Thank You! Btw, I didn't know that cream hands were an option to match the dial. I'd love to do that!
1:50 - The way the dial face perforated and cracked to look almost like fish scales - would have looked sick if the entire face was like that. It would have been impossible to preserve it and keep it that way. But it would have been “1 in the world” unique. Another dope video! Keep it up! 👍
I'll say it again best watch channel on RUclips. Love the complete breakdown of the watch and the whole process. Keep it up, and i wish you the best and more business 🤙
Great video. I had a similar experience recently with a Breitling. It took 3 days soaking in various chemicals to get the stem out from the keyless works and I must have replaced around 30 components and half the screws. This does lead to a question; the 7750 movement was easy to source parts for and they are, actually, pretty cheap. Given the restrictions on Rolex parts (and the resulting cost in the NoS market) how did you manage to source all the parts you needed?
Love the restoration vids! I first started being interested in watches a few years ago watching nico leonard, i liked the passion and comedy. I slowly became interested in actual horology thru deep dives in history and importance of movements.These restoration videos make me want to buy some tools and broken watches to restore them as a hobby! Thank you for the work you do Peter! Genuinely inspirational.
Well all parts inside are genuine Rolex, every screw bridge wheel etc. So yes, still a factory Rolex if wanted all bridges can be replated to new and it’ll be back to factory looking.
Yea I take in very few pieces at a time, with my schedule currently I wouldn’t be able to keep up with everything, these types of restorations take a bit of time regular service in and out within a day. 3 days more for observation
Hi Peter, great video! I really value your skills - you are crazy talented! I would love to see a video in the future about your journey, what inspired you & how you learnt your craft. Keep up the great work!
That's so cool, man! Can you give us a run down on what parts you had to replace and how much a service like this cost? I'm guessing it was a few grand at least considering the dial and all of the parts you replaced.
great work man, we have talked on reddit before about watchmaking in australia etc and you do show some great skill - some tips for next time, remove the cam yoke jewel BEFORE removing the GMT cover plate - they are super easy to loose and by keeping the cover plate on first youll save yourself the stress (of course take the calandar wheel plate off first lol) -- and also just general cleanliness, lots of bits of fluff everywhere and some small finger prints but that all comes with practice, your doign amazing

Dude, please do more watch servicing videos. These are DOPE. And you were the best thing about Luxury Bizarre BTW - by far. A true artisan.
I have a few more restorations coming soon! thanks for watching
Peter literally buys his fakeaudience
@@Richard_James_Schueler I don't care about audience size lol
Also a dope - in a negative sense - is whoever took this in the sea water!☹️

microstellas on the balance will do the trick!
You brought this GMT master back to life, you are very experienced, thank you very much for sharing it with us.
Awesome! Well done Peter! Did the client elect to put a gmt II dial on a gmt?
Hey! Don’t knock your videography skills Peter. I think this was maybe the slickest one yet. I watch a lot of watch restoration channels and I really like that you talk us through it.

Wow, thanks appreciate this!! 🙏🏻
I try to watch the ones with subtitles I just can’t do it. I have to be engaged with the persons voice explaining it.
@@johnswick7108 totally agree. I like the nekkid watchmaker
Peter Peter pumpkin eater
Pete the magician amazing work once again
Awesome Video and great result 👌🏽
This is exactly what I needed on a lazy Sunday evening 👌
I swear I've been trying to get this out for two days, then it hit me this is EXACTLY what id like to see on a Sunday night haha thanks for watching!
@@Peterpic Thank you for the great content!
Thanks so much for letting us know the actual cleaner and codes for the cleaners.
These restoration videos can go up on the algorithm
Let’s hope so😂
Peter your attention to detail, skill and knowledge is 2nd to nobody and that’s the reason you will get big quick.. very entertaining thank you..
Appreciate you🙏🏻🙏🏻
Good thing you left LB and started your own thing. Great content!
Keep this up and you'll have the most well-rounded watch content channel on YT.
Very fun to watch. What is your opinion on an El Primro line?
Amazing ⚙️🔥
Nice one Peter... First thing I did when you left Luxury Bizarre was to unsubscribe... You the reason I turned in and you were the best
So great to see a blend of selling videos and watch repair. There's so much artistry and craftsmanship that goes into a repair like this. Beautiful work!
Thanks 👍 appreciate you tuning in! more to come
All the other channels are about money and greed. This one is about watches. Thats how its supposed to be. Great content!
Appreciate you!
Truly GREAT work sir.. SAVED.
Thank you !!
Peter, you are the Rolex master, amazing work! Best of luck .. happy holidays….
i am disabled so any tips using one hand .😃
I adore the GM Master I's.
I thought working on electronics was hard but DAMN this is art.
What you do with these tiny pieces is amazing, keep doing these videos please.
Dude sick video, what a before and after!
More restoration and problem solving videos please Peter, great job!
you have 13.4k subscribers and had 12.5k views so far, i would say that's very successful !!! great job!!! i watched from start to finish
Wow !! brilliant video. I watch things like this to educate myself and to relax, very good.
Glad you enjoyed it! thank you
@@Peterpic I think many people will enjoy these detailed uncomplicated videos.
These restorations are great, Pete. Being a one man band, it may not be as feasible, but when you get to a point where you can get help, there should be more of these 100%
Watching this is therapeutic, thoroughly enjoyable and the entire time I’m thinking how fortunate is the owner of this GMT. 🙌🏼
Thank you for watching!! And I enjoy this stuff a lot, very calming to work on it.. until you run into stripped screws then the cursing starts
This content is brillant, you get to see nice timepieces along with the educational side of what the mechanics of a watch is, keep it coming Peter
Glad you enjoy it🙏🏻
Great job wishing you great success ! Have a Merry Christmas Peter!
Thanks, you too!
Finally, a local guy I can bring my watches too!
Bro. What a great video!! You’re a genius. It’s like watching a surgeon at work.
Nice job !
this format is your calling. keep it up!
This is an exceptional way to show off your expertise. Anyone can sell. Not everyone can speak about watches with such knowledge. Keep evolving in social media and with your videos and you will do very well in the coming years. Congrats dude.

Super well done. Thank you for doing this video. It really shows what it takes to service and restore these watches.
Thanks for watching!
I got a 1942 Rolex original box and papers what’s the worth on these
Why would there be so much rust inside? I thought most of the movement is made of plated brass
thank you for the video Peter Merry Christmas👍
Thank you🙏🏻 you as well enjoy!
Great episode. Thank you for the upload 👏
Good stuff Peter! 🙌

Well done Peter!
Thank you👍🏻
12 hours brought down to 10 mins worth of cleaning wow i know you worked really hard. Thank you for the great birthday present. Love your videos
my man happy birthday! and YES exactly haha many hours spent here wishing you all the best!

It would have been impossible to preserve it and keep it that way.
But it would have been “1 in the world” unique.
Another dope video! Keep it up! 👍
So usually this is referred to as a “spider dial” the old lacquer cracks but doesn’t fall off the dial plate! Super unique to see in person!
Hey Peter, great video! Where did you learnd watchmaking? Any advice for a newbie?
I'll say it again best watch channel on RUclips. Love the complete breakdown of the watch and the whole process. Keep it up, and i wish you the best and more business 🤙
appreciate the support thanks for watching!
Hey man love your work, I have a vintage watch water damage I’d like restored. How can I reach out to you directly about an estimate?
Brilliant as always Peter
Amazing video Peter, I love seeing the internals of a mechanical watch at this kind of detail. Keep up the amazing work! Happy holidays 🎄
of course nice
by this time next year you'll be @100k subs . great video .
Appreciate this! Hopefully I can get there!
Awesome video, keep up the great content, you kept me watching every second with the great narration and explaining exactly what you're doing.
Awesome, thank you!
Loved the video! One suggestion, maybe a little copyright free music backtrack would add some production value to the vid.
Agreed, I felt it needed the same! But thank you for watching !
Nice work
Banger! man is grinding, can't wait to see how far you go
NICE WORK!
Here in Ireland at 3 in the morning incredible work beautiful watch 👍
Morning! thanks for watching
amazing work Peter, thanks very much

It’s not fun at all! 😂 and I’m lucky enough to have access to these parts whenever I need.
I love these watch service videos.
I’m a hobbyist and any knowledge I gain from these is appreciated. Thankyou
Good work and a superb ending. Just wondering where you obtained the replacement parts, especially the dial.
This is CRAZY, great video, man!! Really enjoyed it. Fascinating to see
This was awesome. Can I hire you to give mine the once over?
It’s in good shape except the crystal needs replacement.
Im actually surprised how knowledgeable you are. You're the real deal my man
Superb job
Love videos like this. Please continue!
I’m trying😂 one man band at the moment so trying to juggle everything while getting out quality content!
Peter Pic back again with another banger. The best watch content on RUclips currently, no shadow of a doubt.
great video Peter! question, where does a watch repair person such as yourself source all these parts? And are they Rolex OEM or aftermarket? Thanks!
Yes only OEM parts and I’m lucky enough to have source haha.
Damn. You got some serious skills Peter. Amazing.Beautiful work. Labour of love. 👏👏👏
Respect 🫡
thanks !
another awesome video. I always learn a few things when i watch the channel. keep up the great work
Glad to hear this! Thank you for watching I appreciate it👍🏻🙏🏻
Excellent Work
Peter, amazing content. Your love for the craft and watches inspires!! Your the real deal! Have a great holiday!
i guest most people would not think of restoring this rusted watch at the first sight when open , abandon it even it's a Rolex~~
Do you just call Rolex and say I need parts x, y, & z?
What about cost?
Loved your video, relaxing for some reason.
Subbed
Love the restoration vids!
I first started being interested in watches a few years ago watching nico leonard, i liked the passion and comedy. I slowly became interested in actual horology thru deep dives in history and importance of movements.These restoration videos make me want to buy some tools and broken watches to restore them as a hobby! Thank you for the work you do Peter! Genuinely inspirational.
Glad you like them! and its honestly so calming i enjoy it a lot
Nice! Just a question - how would you classify such a watch? It has rolex movement but can it be still be "sold" as Rolex?
Well all parts inside are genuine Rolex, every screw bridge wheel etc. So yes, still a factory Rolex if wanted all bridges can be replated to new and it’ll be back to factory looking.
Incredible ❤
Thank you!
great work, very calming to watch. beautiful result 👍
Thank you very much!
Hi dude please tell us what's the white compound you using
just mezerna polish mix, essentially you can use car paint compound
@@Peterpic where can I get it
Do you service watches or just doing it to the extent it overlaps with buying and selling?
Yea I take in very few pieces at a time, with my schedule currently I wouldn’t be able to keep up with everything, these types of restorations take a bit of time regular service in and out within a day. 3 days more for observation
Very cool video. Do you need to have a special account with Rolex to get genuine parts from them?
Yes you do and thanks!
Very nicely done ! Enjoyed this a ton
Thanks a lot!
Let’s goooooooooo Piccolino 🎉🔥
🫡🫡 appreciate you!
How’d it get water damaged? Does it have a 300m dive rating?
It’s mentioned in the video, enjoy!
Hi Peter, great video!
I really value your skills - you are crazy talented!
I would love to see a video in the future about your journey, what inspired you & how you learnt your craft.
Keep up the great work!
Nice work
That's so cool, man! Can you give us a run down on what parts you had to replace and how much a service like this cost? I'm guessing it was a few grand at least considering the dial and all of the parts you replaced.
Did you replace the parts with genuine Rolex or aftermarket?
Fantastic work, you have a great talent, lovely to watch, make sure you keep at it.👌👌💪💪
Of course! Genuine new oem parts only.
Thank you for watching🙏🏻
Excellent video Pete!! Best of luck..
روعه😍😍برافوووو👍
Great video, hope to see more restoration videos like this.
More to come! thanks for watching
Fantastic work man 👏
Thank you!
Just curious to know but how much would restoration like this cost?.
This one specifically was well over a thousand, a lot of key components needed to be replaced which wasn’t cheap.
