Restoration of a Burnt Rolex Datejust - Gold Rolex After House Fire

Ойын-сауық

This Rolex was burned in a house fire in 2010. It is a Rolex 16013 with a fluted gold bezel.
The case is covered in deep scratches, the glass is burnt but the movement is still running, well more or less at least.
I hope you liked this restoration, if so, like, comment and subscribe ;)

    I watch them because I find them oddly fascination, just like watch Bob Ross. But I'd be lying if I said I didn't nod off many times.
