I was happy to see a light oiling of the entrance pallet jewel! Many people neglect that surface. It is an area of friction, the enemy of accuracy. I also enjoyed seeing the old cap jewels. I have spent hours on hands and knees trying to find those screws after I popped them off of my tweezers into the great void.

Yeah, you have to oil that entrance all right.

I love the simplicity of this watch. No endless gears and another spring .... layer after layer. Just a very well made old school watch.

I could disassemble and reassemble a Cat engine blindfolded. I could never, ever put this watch back together. Absolutely insane.

Nice bit of history and a nice restoration. Just for a bit of trivia - at this time in its history, Rolex was not manufacturing many (if any) parts themselves. They were buying up parts from other manufacturers, assembling them in-house and branding them themselves, eventually Hans Wilsdorf was able to negotiate with these manufacturers and have them produce parts specifically for his company's watches. Believe it or not, It wasn't until the early 2000's that Rolex began manufacturing all of their components in-house.

If that Rolex could talk, imagine the stories it could tell. Thanks for the excellent video.

Find these videos so calming and relaxing.

I'm in awe of what it takes to become a watchmaker and repair professional. Understanding how all these parts work together. I can't imagine that watching an artist can be more satisfying than watching you. Thank you and keep em coming.

Love the socks! Would love a verbal description of the parts and repairs being done.

Fascinating to imagine the stories that watch could tell from the vantage point of the wrists of the various owners for almost 100 years. Very cool.

Very nice rescue of a tired old watch, probably the only thing that I would have preferred to do would be to replace the winder crown with a more period correct or even repair the old winder crown, that being just a personal choice, otherwise a great addition to any collection.

@stevewilliams5428

There's something wrong with the watch he repaired. Says 'superbalance' on the ratchet wheel but the balance isn't a 'superbalance'.. it's a bi metallic split compensated balance. The case screw didn't fix the movement into the case. I suspect he fitted a stem tube(glued in when he should have used a friction fit tube) and waterproof crown as this helped fix the movement in place rather then the case screw. I suspect this movement is from another watch case and in the past was married into the case.

This...is the most beautiful watch I have ever seen. I would love to have a Rolex from the 20's. What a gorgeous time piece.

C'est plus qu'une simple restauration, c'est du grand art. L'accomplissement du génie humain dans la mécanique de précision. Bravo et merci. 👍

Why am I so memorized by these videos? Why do I want all these tools and clamps and boxes and stands and etc...?

You know the satisfaction you get when you complete a project? Well, these videos leave the viewer with the same feeling without having to put on pants.

*I am guessing the hairspring is a lot newer than a century in age, given its healthy amplitude of >300 degrees.* It is just wonderful to see an antique from Rolex’ first days come back to life and look beautiful. THE FLUX CAPACITOR SEGMENT WAS HILARIOUS.
