Restoration of a Ladies Rolex Datejust incl. Jubilee Bracelet Stretch Repair
This time I´m restoring a Ladies Rolex Datejust from 1990/1991. The glass is broken, the case is covered in scratches and the watch doesn't work. It seems like the winding-machanism is stuck, the problem is quickly solved and the watch gets a full service including new parts.
The bracelet is also heavily worn and has a lot of stretch after many years. My friend @Vintwatches takes care of the bracelet and gives it a complete restoration.

Damn that jubille bracelet part, had no idea the amount of work that has to go into restoring that!
Thanks 😊
Does it worth it though?

@@janaboy82 the inner links are solid gold, so it may worth compared to a new one, dont know how much is the cost of the service
WHERE IS THE TIME MACHINE
He ran out of plutonium.
The hydro fluvial lateral relay conduits are on back order. So a lot of people are making due with inverse reactive current magnetos. It’s an issue cause without proper alignment you can have stator wave feedback in the dynamic plasma drive conduits. My unit doesn’t have this issue cause I go with the “green thumb” method. It’s more dangerous but a lot more fun. He’s using his for inanimate watch parts. Human time travel is way more interesting.
@@fixedguitar47 Ah.... it makes sense now. Thanks for clearing that up! I was wondering why he didn't use the time machine. 😊
@@mltrymn1213 In all seriousness time travel is possible. It’s not like one would expect though. Lot of fun but a ton of prep work.
That god it’s gone. Stupid gimmick, this channel is too good for such things.
Was für ein schönes Zifferblatt. Was für eine faszinierende Restauration. Ich habe noch nie jemanden ein Jubilee-Band zerlegen sehen um es zu restaurieren. Das ich das noch mal erleben durfte. Da muss mal erst mal einen finden der das kann zum zweiten der das macht und drittens wird das dann so teuer das du dir zwei neue Bänder kaufen könntest. Absolut faszinierend. RDR ist Handwerker, Feinmechaniker, Goldschmied, Meister, Künstler, Chirurg, Gott. Vielen vielen Dank das wir daran teilhaben durften. Einfach unglaublich. Was bin ich froh diesen Kanal gefunden zu haben. 😮🤩😃👍👍👍
Vielen Dank 😊 Eine Aufarbeitung des Armbandes ist gar nicht mal so teuer wie man denkt 😉
Watching you restore these beautiful time pieces to their former glory is absolutely magnificent. ❤
Agreed!
There is something so enjoyable about watching a true pro do his work.
Das waren bislang die faszinierendsten 24 Minuten diesen Jahres 🤩❤
The best not only a visual guide to watch repair, but, the best asrm. Keep doing it step by step, unhurriedly and without music. Silence is your specialty.
Agreed! 👍🏽
Good to see the watch making it in the thumbnail.
What a beautiful job. What a gorgeous watch. What a wonderful piece of the watchmakers art.
Sometimes I catch myself holding my breath while watching you do your surgeon-like job😄
I really enjoy watching your videos. Thank you❤
I love the new style and I LOVE that it has no music!! Somehow the sounds are crispier too. ASMR heaven ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Awesome video! Great work by the bracelet guy, too. Each and every time pure joy watching your content.
Beautiful timepiece. That Dial is AWESOME
restoring the bracelet is an otherworldly meticulous and patient work. The love to detail almost hurts. laser welding those mini parts ….
Thumbnail of the year 😂
You have the steady hands of a surgeon. I enjoy the perfection in what you do my friend.
Skills of a professional ! Restoration of an abused Rolex, so satisfying to observe. I hope the next owner enjoys the timepiece. Well Done.
Brought back to life, amazing.
the attention you put when you work to the movement is amazing (plastic under the barrel when you open it, brass tweezers…) Maestro. The same movement put onto the 68240 reference (datejust “boy” 31mm). Vintwatches are incredibles (laser reducing the holes diameters). Great job as usual, one of the best in all web.
Simply wow! What a transformation.
Absolutely fantastic
Thank you, Red. Your videos always bring me so much peace.
Brilliant, once again!
Wow! I love video quality now! Its stunning. Thanks for your videos!
I'm speachless. Superb job! 👍👏👍

One of your best yet...thanks
