This is a phenomenal job. I can’t help but to notice the chamfers in the crown side are much more pronounced than the other side. Just saying. Overall amazing job.

I can't afford a Rolex and there's no possibility that l could afford to pay this craftsman to refurbish a used one. Absolutely amazing skills.

Hi can the laser welder be used on other materials than steel ? I have a lot of 1940s watches that are base metal and are nickel chrome or gold plated they suffer from acid in the skin eating them away. Could the laser welder with a brazing material be used? Brilliant work and videos

@Vintwatches
