** FULL DISCLOSURE - This watch was not finished when I published this video, update and completion video here: • ITS FAULTY! Rolex GMT ... **
In this video I strip down, clean, review, service and restore this Rolex GMT Master cal.1570 from the 1980s.
Apologies for getting the audio mix a little wrong in this one - hope it doesn’t annoy you too much. Also, the strap was put on upside down but was corrected after 😁😁

Well, Mark doesn’t suggest anyone should try this at home. I recently watched him service an Omega CoAxial movement and was slightly amazed by what was required to do it. As an owner of a Seamaster GMT CoAxial, I can tell you there is no way breathing I’m ever going to touch that movement. I also doubt that many Rolex owners would try it for much the same reason.

I've loved your videos since I stumbled across your channel about a year ago. They peaked my interest in dabbling myself, and just now I finally got the chance to crack open a watch. I recently got a Vostok Komandirskie, and a couple days ago the second hand started catching on the minute hand. My girlfriend gave me a beginner watch repair kit last xmas, so I got to work. It took me a while, you definitely make this stuff look easy, but I managed to get the job done. The only downside is I scratched the paint on the minute hand trying to reseat it, so that's pretty annoying. It's small enough that nobody but me will ever notice it, but I'm the kind of person who will obsess over that tiny damage. But hey, I did it!

I remember the first time I had a luxury watch serviced. Tudor OysterDate 90800, and he quoted me a little under $500 for the repair/service. I thought that was a lot, and then I thought about how much I'd pay for someone else to do this instead of attempting it myself and causing way more damage than it already had. With that said, the price of service/repair is totally worth it even if it seems eye watering at times. That's in such good condition for an 80's model, that bezel looks great! I bet the owner rarely wears it, but when they do it's a special time. Thanks for sharing this gorgeous piece with us and your craft. So rare to see something like this these days.

Good evening Mark. I follow your work here for many months now and I'm also member of your FB group and watchrepairtalk.com. I've seen all your videos and I've never commented your videos but now I feel I have to. I just mentioned how (at 14:25) all the parts are arranged with total precise - screws sorted by size and even the hands are aligned... I'm only sorry I'm not a native speaker and can't express myself good enough to tell you how I do admire the way you work and how I would like to see all others to be as much into details as yourself. I'm simply amazed! You give me a lot of inspiration for my own watch repairing - I started last july after I randomly played one of the videos you made. Almost everything I know I learned from you (I bought some book a lot later though..)
