This video demonstrates the complete disassembly process of a Rolex GMT-Master II watch movement, including the removal of the date jumper mechanism, extraction of the cannon pinion, and disassembly of the pallet fork and train of wheels. The watchmaker explains that the movement has a 28,000 beat rate and is a legitimate ETA-based movement, though it lacks the authentic free-sprung balance wheel. The restoration process involves full disassembly, cleaning of all components, and reassembly to restore the watch's functionality. The speaker emphasizes that proper watch servicing is essential for expensive timepieces, with recommendations to service watches costing $20,000-$40,000 or more regularly.

in.
Welcome in.
People, I'm back.
I'm going to go down slightly.
So sorry I've been gone these last good while. Um depression hits hard, you know?
>> [clears throat] >> Mainly about finances, but uh I'm not wearing a long sleeve today and I totally forgot about that just now.
Anyways, we are messing around with a new movement from uh the white gold GMT that I am restoring.
Now, this one does have its issues. However, this one is correct in the um date jumper time parts, unlike the other movement that we had. Yo, what's up?
Sup, Soul Spider?
What's good?
So this one is the uh broken the broken white gold GMT that I'm restoring. So, what are we going to do first? We are going to actually realize there's no residual power.
Watching WWE? Hell yeah, bro.
Sorry. Booger attack. Fart in my mouth, Dolores.
I'm so back. I'm so sorry I was gone.
Just, you know, depression and stuff.
>> [clears throat] >> No one's sat on my face in a long time, so I think that's what's going down.
It's live on Netflix. I'm live on butt hole. What?
But yes, so this one is an actual complete movement.
Nothing missing on it.
I uh swapped over the movement the new movement to my other white gold GMT.
And um yeah, hopefully it runs slightly better.
And this one is full complete.
Not uh missing some parts here and there, but this is the full whammy.
I don't even know what the [ __ ] I'm saying anymore. I want to get naked.
What?
But you can see how much more premium premium these screws look. You can't see [ __ ] Never mind.
But this I did a full disassembly on the white gold. So all the other parts are everywhere else.
And yeah.
I'm so sorry I've been gone.
Cats.
There we go.
I promise I'll get back to like streaming more regularly tonight. So 8:00 to 10:00 we're back on that schedule again.
And yeah, I'm like I said very sorry that I uh uh kind of dipped for a minute. But this one is complete as you can see.
It has the date switch thingy butt hole monkey.
But yeah, we are going to as we always say cannot pick it up because I'm not looking at it directly.
I'm using my [ __ ] it. I'm using my regular eyeballs today.
Here we go.
Intermediate dial [ __ ] That is your date jumpers.
You're not your date jumper. You're uh Yeah.
You're going to remove quite a bit of this. You can see that this movement seems a little more careful I guess to say.
And yeah.
So here's I figured this out. It's a little trick that I learned by no one told me this. I just figured this out just to save it.
Save a lifetime's worth of suicide and regret. What?
No. Um yeah, that's the way you want to remove that.
Then you can just take this bit out.
Because that jewel there is very expensive. It's like $300 for three of them. It's a $100 part.
Then we can take the cannon pinion off.
Boop.
Now, we can actually unscrew this, which you guys haven't actually seen the actual disassembly of that part yet. Cuz you've you've seen the broken one that got damaged, and this one is a full complete. So.
But, yeah.
I've uh I've just been trying to do myself some little bit of mental uh health stuff.
Come on. Come off.
There we go.
It's a two-piece. For some reason, it likes to stay together.
But, yeah.
It's fully complete. There's no issues with it.
Very cool.
Uh so, what y'all been doing? How's y'all day been going?
H E R E, by the way.
I'm sorry. I'm being a dick.
Yeah, I know. I appreciate it. I know you guys got my back.
I sometimes I just don't want to talk about it. And honestly, I might as well just fess up and say I'm absolutely broke right now.
I have $300 to my name. Deal went bad.
Um, so, I'm kind of [ __ ] here.
I'm just going to straight up be honest.
I'm not going to lie to you guys and be like, "Oh, I'm fine. I'm fine." Damn.
Take my clothes Get your ass back here.
Be like, "Oh, I'm fine. I'm fine." I'm actually naked right now. Um, no, I'm not.
Autocorrect, your day was wrestling.
Nice.
>> [sighs] >> But, yeah, I know. I'm uh trying to keep myself together and keep staying in a good headspace. I'm going to a concert on Tuesday. I'm excited for that. Eric Johnson. You guys might be too young to understand who Eric Johnson is, but if you look him up, he has the most amazing tone as of any guitarist and uh it's been my dream to see him.
So uh luckily, he's coming to town up in Grass Valley.
So uh yeah, I'm going to go see him with a coworker of mine because as you guys know, I work in a music store and do this on the side.
Um but um yeah, he's going to drive me there cuz it's right next to the shop. Boop.
Oh, damn.
I don't know what just exploded in the background, but it wasn't my cop. What?
But yeah, I know. I'm I'm really excited to see Eric Johnson. Uh I've always wanted to see him.
So my mom was cool enough to actually get me tickets. She doesn't know who the [ __ ] he is, but I know who he is and she knows I love his music.
And I love his playing style and tonality. So uh that's what I chase all the time.
It's his tone and it's almost impossible.
So >> [clears throat and cough] >> I'm excited for that.
That I am absolutely stoked for.
As you guys can see actually why the white gold GMT is being restored is because I need new crown for it.
Uh and also new case tube, so right here, I have my Day- Come on, focus.
I got the Daytona on per usual. So as you see here, the case tube that's all the rehaute with all the serial numbers and stuff. Case tube actually broke off inside, so I actually can't put another uh crown and stem in there because it broke off inside and I don't really know how to fix that and I don't want to spend another 20 30 grand on a brand new white gold case.
You're so tired. I'm so what?
I'm sorry to hear that you're tired.
Welcome to life.
Ooh.
What sucks about these movements um is they're always dunked in oil.
But today we're going to change that.
No, we're not.
Just going to show you what goes inside a uh what movements I put inside a white gold uh GMT. I don't I don't have the money right now to afford a brand new movement.
So I'm kind of just going off of a not necessarily a copy movement, but they're are just it's it's a legitimate movement.
I just don't have the money for the balance wheel, the proper uh free sprung balance. Can we just pick up? Please? Please? Please? I'm going to get naked.
Lord have mercy. So Have a lovely 2026. What do you mean by that?
Hey, thanks timeless. What do you mean have a lovely 2026? Are you going to kill yourself or something? What?
You got to go. You're freaking me out like that.
Thanks for stopping by, guys.
I uh I'm doing a lot better mental health-wise right now, so giving you guys a little bit of streams.
I will go live at 8:00 tonight and uh we'll be back on that and I'll come up with some new video ideas because I need these damn watch hours, you know?
Anyways, dial side complete.
Now on to the fun side.
But uh yeah.
>> [cough and clears throat] >> That's your balance.
Now, this is a completely different Oh, it's not a completely different movement. It's the same [ __ ] movement as this, right?
So, it's one of these, but Oh.
You uh Let me just wind this up a little bit for you guys.
There we are.
It's a very pretty movement.
But, this one doesn't have that date jumper wheel in it.
Favorite useless fact? I'm sure I'm black. I don't know.
But, uh it is a jump hour.
What am I doing? I'm on crack. Fart on me.
Anyways, it's the exact same movement.
So, I have a little bit of experience, except this one is a fully complete movement. Meaning that there's no uh missing parts, and it fully functions.
So.
Yeah, there's no more residual power.
Which means next we're going to do a full assembly as well.
Um just right now, we are not.
Because I have the dial, hands, and everything. So, I have the authentic Rolex dial right here.
It's a little bit damaged. That's because I tried to send it to some other service person, and they damaged it.
So.
Welcome to life.
Thought I saw a hair on there. I was about to get worried.
>> [snorts] >> Yeah. Anyways, this is going through a full disassembly, and maybe clean it up, but uh I'll have to do that off camera once I let my phone charge and stuff, oh tits.
Beautiful blue hairspray on that.
Anyways, but that's the ETA Chron version. I mean, it's not there's no version of it. All Rolexes are free sprung.
But uh not this one. This one's uh kind of a parts movement.
So.
But what's cool about this parts movement is it actually [ __ ] works.
That out.
But yeah, this was running in the uh This was just one I ordered, so.
Anyways.
My allergies are I've not gotten better.
Or it might just be my signature move actually.
Yeah. This is the uh GMT white gold one that I'm restoring. I put a copy movement in because your boy is broke.
Your boy is broke. Not going to lie.
Been figuring out my finances. That's where I've been.
But uh this also has the same beat rate, same functionality, so it's same [ __ ] Different to watch.
Now onto the pallet fork. After we do this, I have to feed the dog.
And then I will hop God damn. I'll be on another live for the reassembly and all that other [ __ ] But right now it's just full disassembly time, yeah?
So I'm going to show you here in a little bit why I'm not going to show you [ __ ] actually.
Um oh tits.
I might I don't even know what I'm doing here anymore.
But yes, this is a good This is a great movement. It's still got that 28,000 beat rate.
Um, so it's very high functioning.
Like my autism. Can we pick you up?
Yo, why aren't you closing?
Mine. Thank you.
And then we can see the uh train of wheels do their thing here.
Very well oiled. Which is good.
It's all lubed up, Chris, just for you.
Ooh, yummy.
Butthole smell.
Chris, lick my anus. I'm desperate.
Remove the train of wheels.
Here.
So, this is a little different today because this actually is going into a watch. Um, this is an actual watch service.
This isn't just a mock service that I do. This is a real full service.
Um, so And this is a personal watch of mine, a very expensive personal watch.
A white gold Rolex GMT-Master II Pepsi that I got for quite a bit of money. If I can just get this [ __ ] screw, I'm going to be You know what?
You know what? [ __ ] you. I ain't playing a game.
Uh, that I got a while back, and it had some issues.
So, uh, here we are together servicing it.
Full service. Just really swapping over the movements.
Uh, cuz this used to have the authentic movement in it.
And now it still has one.
Just slightly worse.
But yeah.
So once we do this disassembly, I'm going to end the stream and then I'm going to do a lot of the the cleaning of the parts in the cleaning machine, which will take a little bit. So once I get back on, they'll be all nice and clean.
I tend to keep these movements pretty [ __ ] clean regardless.
Cuz they've only been outside of the watch twice right now. This one is the second time having this service.
In the amount of time I've owned it.
Couple years now.
And it is recommended you service these pretty often.
Since you're paying, you know, 20, 30, 40, up to a couple million dollars on these.
Um Not 20, 30, 40 million. 20, 30, 40 thousand to a couple million.
At some points. Oh, [ __ ] Sorry about that. I gave everybody scoliosis from that. Damn.
But yeah, it's it's recommended you service these quite a bit.
And the right tits.
I have I mean, I'm not broke. I'm broke in my regular money account, but on my other account, I'm not broke.
I've got >> [clears throat] >> still a [ __ ] load of money in my other account.
I'm just talking about the main account that I use has no money in it. My watch trading and servicing Oh, I my job account has quite a bit of dough in it, but it still stresses me the [ __ ] out every time I have to look at the bank account.
So I got paid 260 bucks to go to a wedding.
To set up a gay wedding and it was very nice.
I'm very happy for the two that got married.
Congratulations. I'm not going to say their names, but they know who they are.
And yeah.
I was able to drink a beer that that day. I definitely needed one.
Cuz it started at 8:00 8:00 in the morning and went until 8:00 p.m. Well, no, hold on. I lied.
It started at 7:00 in the morning and went to 8:00 p.m.
No, 8:00 to 8:00. I lied.
So, it's a good 12-hour day. So, I got paid a couple hundred bucks for just one day.
So, yeah, that's that's what's been saving my butt.
And I got 260 from that.
So, that was okay.
But I'm excited for this Eric Johnson concert coming up, man.
Super stoked.
Anyways, so this is going to do it for this portion of the stream. If you would like, I can leave you guys idle.
Yes, Vortex. I No, I don't, but I remember you now, Vortex.
I can leave the stream idle for a little while while I go take this [ __ ] to the cleaning machine.
And uh I can either leave you on a black screen or I can end the stream and pop back on in a little bit.
It'll take me about 30 minutes or so.
Come on.
Eek.
But yes, it's fully disassembled now.
I can show you guys what I did.
So, >> [snorts] >> here we go.
It is a full complete service on the GMT-Master II.
So, those hands are super cool. I love the hands on it.
So, there's all What the [ __ ] on it? Um the the the the blah I don't give a [ __ ] Casey. All right, three. Take my clothes off. I'm desperate. What?
So, all this has to go to the cleaning machine.
Just going to take my pants off for some reason. And then they got the uh bracelet there.
The uh beautiful chronograph, which I actually got repaired. I didn't tell you this, guys, but look.
It actually tells the time now.
Look at that [ __ ] It actually tells the time. I got it to work. So, I'm happy about that.
We've got the Metro uh diver pilot that I've made, still running.
>> [snorts] >> And then we're just going to get this all healthy up and going. And then I'll see you guys in a little bit, yeah?
Take me. Oh, damn.
