Restoration of a Smashed Rolex Watch - Most Modern Rolex in Rose Gold Restored

This restoration of a most modern of Rolex features a watch that recently had a pretty bad accident. It suffered significant external damage. I did not expect to find too many problems with the latest 2235 Rolex movement inside but so I was surprise to see a critical issue inside the case that needed sorting out as well. In this video I do a full Rolex restoration and a light tough refinishing of the case and bracelet, both of which were badly scratched up in the accident.
I do not talk much in this video leaving the action, mostly, to tell the story of the restoration.

Thank you so much John... Great to hear from you! Richard
It has been like new. Congratulations, a perfect job.
Watched this again and I always pick something up I’ve missed previously!! 🚒👍
Richard, these videos are fascinating. Thank you for sharing. I'm amazed how you took a completely trashed watch and made it functional and beautiful again. I can't imagine what happened to this watch. Run over by a car? Dropped in the garbage disposal? Incredibly good work to restore it so well.
Your videos suddenly seem to have started popping up on my KZread homepage. Good to see the master at work. ‘Hope you’re both well. Happy New Year! Jonathan

Hi Jonathan... Yes this latest video seems pretty popular so KZread is promoting it widely I guess... All good here! Hope all good with you guys up North! Happy New year! Richard
There's just something about a rose gold date just that fascinates me. Great upload!
That was fantastic Richard. Very enjoyable watching a real craftsman at work. Liked the technique of holding/guiding the screw driver with the tweezers. I'm going to try that next time. Excellent vid.

Hi Paul ...Thank you so much for this brilliant feedback. Yes. curved tweezers as a brace is a pretty good tip when securing tiny screws ... it works even when you've got a great big camera lens hanging just above the watch! Thanks again, Richard

I so much enjoy watching these restoration videos. I'm a novice at best but to watch someone working in the craft with your skills it's so educational. I have learned a lot every time I watch. Today just some simple polishing tricks, as I have a quartz Seiko and an old Timex to clean up and change batteries. Keep up the great work and I thank you for sharing these amazing videos with all of us in the watch world.

Nice!! Thanks for another great video. Love the Rolex restoration videos. Looks fantastic in the end, glad to see it wasn’t over polished. I think in doing so it maintains the “story” of the watch.

Thanks Gary .... yes the deeper scratches were left as 'shiny indentations' so it was not over done. I wanted to keep it authentic but replace the elegance that disappearance when a watch is too battered. Thanks for the feedback. Richard

Absolut amazing.....No seen better .....Please more
I love a good watch restoration video,chilling time 👍
Amazing work!
VERY NICE. THANK YOU
Amazing result ! The slightly damaged crown is part of the history of the watch and definitely adds to its charm. I wonder what happened to it to cause such damage to the crystal; it must have been one hell of a blow (in every sense of the word).

Awesome to watch an artist in action. It was so effective to keep the conversation out and letting our eyes see it all unfold from the gruesome first looks at the terribly damaged Rolex to the finished beautiful looking Datejust. I can't imagine how much time you spent with the watch, but the outcome was simply great. I have so much respect for watchmakers and your performance was exceptional. Thank you for allowing us to be a part of the process.

@@AlwaysPossible100 true they've overvalued cause of brand recognition and some clever early use of celebrity endorsements that dice rolled into the brand perception of Rolex to this day even among non-watch people. But they do at least look good and they're well made. They shouldn't really be as expensive as they are but Rolex tend to curate their RRP and very carefully maintain a demand for their steel sport range with their production numbers and the amount of watches each authorised dealer gets. That said I'd love to eventually own something like a Yachtmaster or GMT Master II.
