Restoration of a Rusty Omega Seamaster Professional watch - Severe Water Damage
This is an Omega Seamaster Professional 300m, ref. 2552.80.00, powered by the 1109 movement. It was produced in the early 1990s, and is a smaller (36mm) version of the famous 007 Seamaster.
The watch has major water damage. All moving parts are completely seized.
The watch is disassembled and inspected. Damaged parts are replaced and the movement re-assembled and oiled. The case and bracelet are fully restored.

Restoration of a Vintage Tissot Seastar Automatic Watch
zhlédnutí 55KPřed 5 měsíci
This Tissot Seastar 46587-3X needs a full restoration. There are many small issues that have to be fixed. ASMR, no talking. The watch is powered by cal. 2571. The base movement was developed jointly by Tissot and Omega and also used in some Omega watches without the day complication with a cal. number 1481. The watch is running poorly. Crown is loose. Day/date complications have several issues....
Restoration of Ruined Modern Seiko Diver Watch
zhlédnutí 56KPřed 10 měsíci
Come along on the journey as I restore a severely damaged modern Seiko Diver. ASMR, no talking. This is a Seiko SNZH55K1 powered by the 7S36 movement (case number 7S36-04N0). The watch isn't running. The balance is ok but the movement is seized. Some parts are missing, others incorrect. The movement is cleaned and inspected, then re-assembled and oiled. Case and bracelet get a full restoration ...
James Bond loved this video!!
That is one of the most incredible restorations I have ever seen.
stunning restoration!! would have been so cool if you could have used the old date wheel imo tho
My guess, whoever owned this watch didn't screw the crown down all they way, before they played in the water. It's not uncommon. Great restoration job!
That's indeed a very likely scenario. Thank you for watching!
Stunning restoration ❤
I have a watch which needs restoration It's a very special one.
How much would you like for it ??$
Fascinating...What a transformation...I want to be a watchmaker now... Not a motor mechanic...🙂
How long did this take you? This is amazing. You are very skilled at what you do. It's crazy how you remember all that stuff.
Thank you so much! I was working on and off with this watch over a few months, doing other projects while waiting for parts etc. It's hard to say the exact hours but it was a lot!
Is it expensive to restore and look like brand new,how much it cost??
Harika!!! Elinize sağlık, ustalık bambaşka bir seviye...👌👏
I'll stick to G Shock. Not failed me yet!!!!
It was a beautiful job! Congratulations on the restoration. What paint did you use to paint the bezel? Could you give me a tip on where to buy it? I wish you success!
Thank you! I used Revell brand enamel (model) paint. It's not especially hard but enamel paints are easy to get in small quantities and various colors and work well when painting recessed numbers like this.
You are a real artist! 👏🏻
Incredible job! How much does it cost now?
wooow
Hi. What metal is the Omega's automatic winding rotor made of?
I'm not 100% sure but I believe it's tungsten.
What oils/greases did you use fo0r this movement? I have a similar one, tissot 794, and im stuck. I dont know what oils i should buy.
I used various Moebius lubricants, 8217 for the barrel wall, 8200 for the mainspring, 9504 for the keyless and calendar works, 9415 for the escapement, 9104 (HP 1300) for high torque pivots and 9010 for high speed pivots. That's a lot of different lubricants, especially if you have to buy all at once. They'll last very long but do have an expiration date. I only have experience with Moebius lubricants, but Molykote DX should work well for keyless etc. If you're just starting out or practicing and don't want to spend so much on lubricants, you could use Molykote DX for keyless works and Moebius 8000 for everything else and then get the more specific lubricants later on.
what did you use to loosen the broken piece ofthe tree in the crown????
Awesome restoration
It might be cheaper to buy a pre-owned watch which was already serviced by Omega AD.
1k is a ripoff. Should have been 200 max

Wow! Nicely done!!
😍🔝
Wow, crazy restoration!!
There were some problems on the dial!
Curious to know how many hours were devoted to the restoration of this watch? The end result was beautifully done!
Szkło było całe uszczelka też dekiel również był OK.a zegarek wchłonął tyle wody co bibuła.🤫 te Omegi to jednak słabe zegarki!!!!
Saved from the scrap man. But curious of the final cost. Brilliant restoration/rebuild. Liked and subscribed. John. Oh I also own a seamaster, I wear it every day and love it, it's a perfect time machine.
Thank you! The final cost was around $1,700. Not exactly profitable, but that wasn't the goal with this project. Seamasters are great, glad you're enjoying yours! Thanks again for watching!
👏👏👏👏🇧🇷
ASMR Watch restoration
What a plesant video to watch - amazing job - made with care and skill
How much are you selling this for?
Amazing Work. Last Month i received my Omega Seamaster Professionell from the Revision from Omega. The Watch looks Completley new
I can't believe you paid as much for this as you did!
this is literally mesmerising to watch!
Was this the wristwatch of the captain of the Exxon Valdez? Where is all that muck from?
sitting here looking at my Omega Seamaster professional, I was horrified looking at this watch. How could something like that happen?
You are an artist, beautiful work.
Skill of the gods. Bravo. Silence is golden in craftsmanship
Nice!
Not sure how long that took, but I'll have you know it took me similar amount of days to replace my watch bracelet myself.
Absolute wizard!
Complimenti maestro!
One of the absolute best restorations I have seen.
beautiful restoration who would buy a fifty fathoms for £23.000 when you can have this beauty ¯\_(ツ)_/¯♥.ps ive subscribed to your channel
beautiful completion, did the replacement parts cost exceed the value of the watch?
Mesmerising, hypnotic, just love the sound! The best watch restoration channel bar none.
Wow, thank you!
