This time I do a complete restoration of a beautiful Rolex Datejust with a Jubilee Diamond Dial and Rolex 2135 movement. The watch came with water damage to the dial and the mechanism. Replacing a dial like this, especially a jubilee dial with diamonds would be extremely difficult to achieve and very expensive. So in this video a repair and service the watch and clean up the dial to almost it's original condition.

The birds singing was beautiful. So was the work you did on the watch.
I love this profession with all my heart, but I do not have the tools and devices to work and repair capacities like you. Thank you, respect and appreciation for your mastery of work and an explanation of the repair 💖
Absolutely awesome. I've messed about with old cheap watches and those screws look like specs of dust. I don't know how you manage to work so skillfully with such tiny components. Bravo sir
You are the Man who whispered to Rolexes. Absolutely beautiful!
Haha! The Rolex Whisperer! Cool! Thanks David! Richard
Masterful work Richard.
Singing birds... The best soundttrack for working....
I enjoy your camera work. Your Masterful skills. No silly music, no mindless chattering. Just the sounds of your craft. Thanks
Probably the most beautiful watch i ve ever seen.
Thanks for another great vintage Rolex video. Great work. Never get tired of the Rolex resto videos, love seeing these things keep going.
Thanks Gary... Considering the age and 'mileage' of these vintage Rolex watches they often restore really nicely. Thanks for the feedback. Richard
As always a pleasure to watch "no pun intended"
Richard, especially with the birdsong in the background very relaxing!👍👏
I just subscribed the other day when I came across one of your videos Richard, your just amazing and that maybe even an understatement. Looking forward to what you'll do next, Thank you for sharing with us all!
Quality workmanship and camera work. A pleasure to watch, with no annoying adds. It doesn't get any better.
Another spectacular video Richard, I am always blown away by your incredible camera work and I can't wait to see what's in that package!
Hi Vienna! You are way too kind for sure! In fact maybe I should come to The City of Music and do a collaboration. We could do kaffee und kuchen and then rummage in a flea market for a Rolex Daytona or Jaeger LeCoultre that is not full of water. That would be fun! Stay tuned! Richard
Another great job well done Richard & the camera work is crystal clear, your really upping the stakes man
Hi vforvictor! That is good to hear sir! I have definitely put in some effort to try and up the quality zo its great when that is noticefd and acknowledged. Nice one! Thanks. Richard
Always love watching your videos. Such a privilege to see such a process and operation on a watch, particularly a Rolex! Keep the great content coming!
Hi Zach... This is great feedback. Much appreciated. Richard
Haven't watched your videos in quite some time... You're doing a great job with your production! I especially enjoy seeing the specialty tools being used. Keep up the good work!
Hi Heywood! Thanks for this observation ... I have been trying to up my game in terms of film making and it's great to hear that the work invested is actually being noticed so thanks for taking the trouble to say so! Richard
Truly the epitome of a craftsman. Great video as always good sir.
Thank you so much Wes... Very pleased you enjoyed this one sir! Richard
Really interesting to see how these great watches were made and put together.
Another great video Richard and I love all the different effects in the background
Another wonderful video. At this point all I can do is echo the kind words of your growing legion of subscribers. Great camera work, professional skills, calm delivery.
A major success, Major!
My best to you and your family as always, from the wilds of the Allegheny National Forest in Northwestern Pennsylvania.
These vids are so good for my mental health. Thanks mate, I really do appreciate you work.
I love how you have all this equipment specific to the task.
Great video Richard. Sometimes it is difficult to comprehend how small and intricate the components are until you have something to compare them against. Da iawn.
Wow I have to admit these little machines are fascinating.
Thank you for sharing, just amazing, watching you work.
Hi To Fu, thank you so much for this great feedback! Richard
Excellent work as usual Richard!
Es un hermoso reloj con un gran trabajo de reparación y mantenimiento. Enhorabuena Maestro!!!
You're a great watch caring your steps by steps move very smooth and carefully 🙂 nice video bro
Thank you for helping me I work on freinds and family's watches and a few have rust. I have been working on watches for about a year but I have been collecting for about 5 years.
I always look forward to watching one of your video's. You make what is very complex look simple. Excellent Video quality. Steady Hands. Thanks.
Hi Richard, great to see this little gem smartened up. Looking forward to the Reverso challenge..👍
Stunning
Can’t believe watching a watch repair would make me jump off the seat!
Really enjoy your videos. Thanks for doing them
Another Rolex like new!. Thank you for yours videos Richard!!!
Hi Eloy... Haha! It's what I do I guess. Good to hear from you sir! Richard
Can't wait to see the reverso that's gonna be awesome
Beautiful Workmanship
Thanks so much John! Richard
Richard an outstanding restoration of my favorite version of the Datejust! At least they brought it to you for service before it became a truly rusted mess inside! I just subscribed to see more of your amazing work!
extraordinary work!!
Very relaxing video and the birds chirping haha
I am lucky George ... I have got the window closed here atm but it is nearly dusk and I can here the birds singing away! It's a nice sound to work to for sure. Thanks for thr feedback. Richard
Just amazing to watch what you do Richard, a credit to Pembroke :)
Beautiful job, lovely editing, this was a joy to view.

How much is this please 😊😊
Beautiful Rolex with diamonds 😊👌
Great work again Richard!

Always look forward to your videos!
Richard dear, its been a while...terribly sorry for not be able to watch your restoration for quite sometimes now..new phone won't let me sign in and I can't comment on your videos unless I use me old phone. As a fan, I missed you dearly and as always...A wonderful restoration as always.
Regards Aliff
Hi Aliff ... great to hear from you. I hope all is well with you and thank you for the great feedback. Very much appreciated! Richard
Amazing as always Richard! Since Covid I started doing work on watches, starting on cheap chinese and now pretty comfortable with 1/2 function ETA’s. Seeing your videos makes me want to try my hand at my rolex
Hi DutchClawz... Low error rate is the secret. You need to not be making very many errors when working on Rolex or it will vet expensive. Practice to drive down the error rate and then go for it I figure. Thanks for the feedback. Richard
Love watching you work, I wish I could do that.
Elegant work on an elegant watch! Thx and cheers.
Thank you so much Marty! Richard
Absolutely perfect work ! ....... Un travail absolument parfait !
Merci beaucoup mon ami King Spec! Richard

Hola! Hermoso trabajo, saludos desde Benito Juárez provincia de Buenos Aires, Argentina
What a nice video on a saturday
I aim to please Hugo! Richard
Wow Richard! Awesome restoration, as usual! I hope you're all well, I'm happy to enjoy this new video, hoping more to come in the near future! The video quality is stunning, and I always appreciate how you point out where the problem is, so that the viewer can learn something new every time! Like you've done by showing us the yoke cam and the jewel, to address the date change problem. Thank you so much! I can't wait to see the "magnetic" JLC coming from the sea stripped down to the bone :-) Cheers from Italy! Stay safe!
Hi Fabrizio! I hope all is good with you in Italy! I am just hoping the JLC is feasible as I have been too busy to open the package. Richard
@@richardperrettwatchmaker Thank you Richard! I really hope you'll find the JLC "feasible" for us to enjoy your outstanding work. Things are going slightly better now. I really hope this pandemic will come to an end and I wish all of us could someway return soon to a more normal life. Cheers!
Great video, can't wait for the Reverso..
Thanks Dennis ... I have not opened the package yet so I only hope it's feasible! Richard
great videos
Beautiful watch :)
Unusual dial 👍
What a nice surprise on a cold Saturday morning, able to see you going deep into another piece 😊
I'm not a lover of Rolex...However, that was/is a pretty thing and deserved the care you lavished on it.
Top work once again Richard, I love the macro videography that you bring to your vlogs👍
Hi Kent. Maybe ! I will convert you one day sir! And yes it is a pretty example so it would be a shame for it not to look its best. Thanks for the support as always. Richard
@@richardperrettwatchmaker Hmmmm good luck on that one 😉
One of my good friends has a DDM in his collection, along with several other models from the same house...the only watch of his I covet is his AP. I really would like to relieve him of that puppy 😉
I guess I'll be on tenterhooks until that Jaeger gets the RPW treatment 👍
Exellent job
Awesome 👍👍👍
Great video
Thanks Watch Obsession! Richard
fascinating!
Thank you for sharing ur skill with us. Currently down to one arm for a bit so on injury down time this super active guy is chilling with you and the birds.
Hey Boris .... that sounds luck bad luck sir! Maybe chilling to some watch repair is 'just the ticket'. Glad to be of service! Richard
@@richardperrettwatchmaker I don’t believe in bad luck just Karma. Anyways you’re doing an awesome job
Precioso reloj
Another job well done Richard!! So enjoy watching you work, I about flipped when that little piece went flying!! Joe Burgio
Mi Rolex me gusta mas desde que veo sus restauraciones. ¡¡¡ Espléndido !!!
"Two French geezers" made me spit me coffee out :-D
Baptiste and Quentin are very cool and have a great channel. Who doesn't like French Treasure Fishers... Very cool! Stay tuned! Richard
Yes its great!
Great video Richard, keep up with the great viewing content.
Just out of interest what meterials do you use to clean the watch dial ?
Cant wait for the next upload.
Your awesome dude
the number one on youtube, and more 😉👍
Thank you so much lorenzo! Richard
Brilliant! Nice to see small things ping off even for experts. Your filming has improved with details so clear now. Thanks for a great viewing Richard....PS how do you regulate the beat error after the watch has run in? One for the future perhaps
Thanks Johhny! I have tried to up my game with photography so that is good to hear. Beat error has a lever on this movement for simple adjustment. Tbanks for the feedback. Much appreciated. Richard
Watching again bro.
Fantastic Richard. Superb workmanship. Looking forward to the French geezers 😊find. 👍
Hi Paul... Thanks mate! Haha, Baptiste and Quentin are super cool and have a great Treasure Fishing channel so so long as the JLC is saveable we are onto a winner! Richard
awesome
