Restoration of Rolex Oyster Perpetual -Date-
Ойын-сауық
I’m restoring a Rolex Oyster Perpetual Date with the reference number 15053. Year of production is 1986.
The watch suffers multiple damages. It was severely impacted during an accident. Earlier repair efforts were stopped somewhere in between. So here we are. Let's see what we can do.
Hope you enjoy the restoration 😊

Grandmaster level without a doubt, attention to details, protecting the lugs while fitting the bracelet... to name one thing, And the tools...The very best and everything is like a labo, all perfectly cleaned. Lucky Rolex, that's the best treatment since she was made in Switzerland.

What I really like about you is that you included a complete tool list, great! I also immediately subscribed to your beautiful channel. Good luck in your future life and I hope to watch more videos from you. Greetings from the Netherlands.

@@MagicWatchmaking If you watch the channel of the Horological Society of New York, particularly the video "Collecting Vintage Watches by Eric Wind", you hear of a restoration that Rolex did do on a rare Daytona, which totally devalued it at a price of €/CHF 15'000+ for their "services". So maybe we have to glad that they have stopped servicing them. On another level though, Rolex seems to be getting into the second hand market of their watches and offers services/certificates for them, so I do not really know what is what.
Excellent video! Thank you

Now waiting for a new story, to be told in the erased Pages of the past,but the Sharp edges, that suites the eyes so Well are forever gone Regards Allan Still learning the art of Respectfully restoring Timepieces for 8+years
