Rolex Datejust Full Restoration And Repair (AMAZING TRANSFORMATION)

Ойын-сауық

This time I´m restoring a Ladies Rolex Datejust from 1990/1991. The glass is broken, the case is covered in scratches and the watch doesn't work. It seems like the winding-machanism is stuck, the problem is quickly solved and the watch gets a full service including new parts.
The bracelet is also heavily worn and has a lot of stretch after many years. My friend @Vintwatches takes care of the bracelet and gives it a complete restoration.
If you are interested in watching the entire video of the bracelet restoration, check out his video:

    Was für ein schönes Zifferblatt. Was für eine faszinierende Restauration. Ich habe noch nie jemanden ein Jubilee-Band zerlegen sehen um es zu restaurieren. Das ich das noch mal erleben durfte. Da muss mal erst mal einen finden der das kann zum zweiten der das macht und drittens wird das dann so teuer das du dir zwei neue Bänder kaufen könntest. Absolut faszinierend. RDR ist Handwerker, Feinmechaniker, Goldschmied, Meister, Künstler, Chirurg, Gott. Vielen vielen Dank das wir daran teilhaben durften. Einfach unglaublich. Was bin ich froh diesen Kanal gefunden zu haben. 😮🤩😃👍👍👍

    the attention you put when you work to the movement is amazing (plastic under the barrel when you open it, brass tweezers…) Maestro. The same movement put onto the 68240 reference (datejust “boy” 31mm). Vintwatches are incredibles (laser reducing the holes diameters). Great job as usual, one of the best in all web.

    I was really waiting for a new video! The most complicated Rolex mechanism I have seen so far. Detailed workmanship, beautiful restoration. The bracelet turned out amazing too. I'm glad the video is quiet again. The music at the end is a very good choice. It was incredibly accurate. Does it turn out that women's Rolexes are more accurate than men's movements? You are a genius! ❤
