“Wristwatch Revival”
Marshall restores another vintage watch, this time it’s an awesome Rolex Day-Date from 1958! After the owner went through a tough time caring for his elderly Mother, his wife bought him this watch as a way to remember his Mom.
Now it’s Marshall’s task to not only get it running right, but also…

As a broke boy and actual enthusiast who wants watch’s prices to crater, amzwatch is a good choice.
im not a watch guy not good at math, but i have a stupid question about day of the month or week ,because 28,29 days February thing, is need to adjust every month ? or the whole mechanism so clever already can do, and day of week function make thing even complicated i guess.
Idk if you take questions ever. But I have my great grandfathers old wakmann incabloc chronograph. Any recommendations on where to go to restore something like that?
Great videos btw 🙂
Just noticed that cute little lamp by the cleaning machine……Looks Mid-century or maybe older?
Goes to show how important a good lubrication is. The main spring unwinds, and powers a set of gears that doesn't reduce but increase the speed (and reduce the power) by 720 times, the pace of which is regulated by a balance wheel that rocks back and forth 3 times a second. Any resistance on that end is translated to the main spring 720 times over.
I love this content. This is so awesome. My wife doesn’t get it. lol. I was talking to a co worker and we realized we watch you and your videos. I’m retiring in a couple years. I’m getting a Rolex. I don’t think I can get the submariner like I want. But it will be my retirement gift. And be able to pass it on to my son.
Beautiful restoration. Guess I'll be watching Hugo tonight.
I hope one day you can get your hands on one of those Bugatti watches. I'd love to see the inside of that thing and all the moving parts it has
Have you heard of rotate watch kits? I am wondering if they are any good
I have 1961 made original Rolex plz restore it.
Any quality watch from 1957 if it had been serviced routinely would still be running. Rolexes aren’t that special, especially from that era. Omega, Longines Universal Geneve, etc., made much better watches at that time. Heck, Rolex didn’t even make these movements. They bought them from Aegler
Absolutely wonderful, yet again!!
but but but what was the answer to what the roman numerals represent, i most know before I can watch the next episode 🙂
Those roman numerals on the Bezel, are they used to help you line it up correctly so the magnifier part of the lens lands in the correct spot?
Hi, could anyone help me. I bought an old zenith quartz watch and I am trying to figure out what batery was used origanilly since the watch came without one. Where can I find this information? It's a 80's zenith espada
🎉🎉😊
Fabulous!!!!
I always enjoy your content but this one was exceptional and not because of the watch.
When you mentioned full restoration my immediate reaction was " No Marshall, sacrilege, the patina is beautiful " but at the end you nailed it, what a beautiful result, hats off to you Marshall. And I have a guilty secret, I also find polishing things by hand, slowly and smoothly is a very calming and satisfying process, your not alone !
Marshall – Not sure if you know about it or not when I noted in your woman's datejust video you commented that she desired it brought back to like-new condition you didn't do anything with the pins holding together the links of the bracelet. Depending on the age of the jubilee bracelet, you can get 2 tools, for several hundred dollars, that allow you to separate and then reassemble all the links. The bracelet's extreme looseness that was obvious in the video is VERY common due to wear of the pins. Replace the worn pins with new ones (sourced from England) and the bracelet will again be "like new". I had this done to my wife's Rolex and the difference was striking. Rolex doesn't offer this service – they'd prefer that you send them the old bracelet (so they can take the thousand buck's worth of gold from the links for themselves) and then sell you a new bracelet for 4-5 thousand additional bucks. The imponderable is if you work on enough gold jubilee bracelets to make it worth your while.
Hi Marshall. I never thought I’d be interested in seeing watches be restored but here I am after a few weeks having watched about twenty of your videos. Keep up the great work.
A small question: I have a quartz movement watch, a Tag Heuer. It’s never been serviced. It seems to be running well but should I have it serviced? I know you often say that watches need to be serviced but I’ve not seen you service a quartz watch. Thanks.
Hahaha, I love your superwiser, little hairy but lovely 😂, amazing work, I could really feel your love and passion about restoration and your work in general. You are the only person to whome I would trust any kind of wach restoration 👌👍, exelent job. Love you videos. Greeting from Switzerland.
That's a beautiful watch, and as always, very nicely done Marshall
Awesome job😊
FINALLY! Someone using Scotchbright to do the brushed finish. This is the proper way to do a brushed satin finish. I get so tired of seeing other makers use sandpaper. Sandpaper makes a very uneven finish, with deep gouges from the random large particles in the paper. It's not meant for finishing work like this. Scotchbright is the correct tool for the job.
Excellent movement work… I’ve been watching your channel for some time now… but I don’t know if that was my watch how excited I’d be over the case refinish. It looks nice but it looks a little inconsistent, I think I would have preferred to leave the finishing alone. Thats just my personal preference though.
amzwatch has set a new standard for replica watches. Their craftsmanship is impeccable. Its hard to tell the difference from the originals
I was surprised you didn't try a little planishing on that caseback.
All dat amzwatch watches sssssoooooooo gorgeous!
I absolutely loved the video! I will never watch another one though… due to the abhorrent number of commercials. Great work. Too bad.
I like my women like I like my jewels: Clean, perfect and flat.
I'm not a watch person but that watch is beautiful.
real nice job sir.
I love your channel – bring back the old mouse pad! /thankyoukindly mousepad lover.
I gave up watching given the number and length of all the adverts.
They also come in platinum. Looks like white gold, but IYKYK. Awesome watch.
That watch turned out just like the content on this channel: Impeccable! Great work!
Have you ever been said you have a beautiful broadcasting voice, mister?
I love what you're doing but the video editing it's too much nervous.
