they're fine watches, but the majority of the money you pay is just for the name, you can get watches that are better for less. i've heard that most rolex "dealers" do not even let you get on the waitlist to buy a new one unless you already have at least one rolex, so you have to buy a secondhand one somewhere before you can get on the waitlist to buy a brand new one.

This clock is probably around 100 years old (as my grandfather already inherited it). And sure, I'm currently wearing a smart watch on my wrist... But I just can't miss out on their functionality.

What's worth gold is seeing lube points and what's worth platinum, seeing which tools get used for what purpose. The only better thing for cleaning than an ultrasonic cleaner is two ultrasonic cleaners! ;) Just looked up the rust away, MSDS shows Ammonium Bifluoride and an acid to buffer and complex things, plus a solvent. Ammonium Bifluoride is properly known as Ammonium Hydrogen Bifluoride and disassociates into HF in water, so not a good thing to get on you, but it's a 1 - 10% level in the solution, reasonable precautions would work well enough. Phosphoric acid would do the same thing, but it'd leave a phosphide layer that'd discolor the movement. That's the active ingredient in naval jelly and also what's used when heated to Parkerize steel gun parts.

Rolex probably wanted to do a complete restoration (i.e. like new watch) for an eye popping amount. I brought my father's well worn Rolex to an official Rolex service center (there are several in major cities in the US) and they had no interest in doing what Marshall did in this video. And their quote which included replacement parts exceeded the watch's original cost. I shipped my watch to an independent shop that services Rolex only and they did a phenomenal job. Never again will I have my watches serviced by Rolex.

Rolex could have restored it. However because they offer a 2 year warranty on all repairs they would have only made the repair if the customer agreed to certain things, like the replacement of the dial, hands, Crystal, a complete refinish of the case, etc. All of which would have diminished the value of the watch. Rolex are a bit more flexible these days, but would prefer that this sort of restoration is performed by authorised specialists, that way the customer gets exactly what they want.

I can understand they would have asked a lot (and only used genuine parts) but as the video showed actually it was only a handful of functional parts that *needed* to be replaced (which Marshall also did). As you state, simply swapping or restoring hands case etc that are not functional isn't just unnecessary expense its actually destroying the patina indeed personality that makes that watch special. That a brand that trades so much on image and history seemingly doesn't understand that is tragic. Yet another once great product company now run by accountants ?

@@davesmith9325 The biggest difference is that Rolex offer a guarantee on their services (typically two years) and basically offer to make the watch “like new”, which means replace everything that is old and in poor condition. They will sometimes offer to simply service a watch and ensure it’s waterproofness and give customers the option to replace dials/handset, bezel inserts, but this watch needed much more. Also I didn’t see new seals being fitted to the crown nor did I see it being subjected to the normal Rolex pressure test, important because the damage was caused by water getting into movement. This explains why all original vintage (over 20 year old) Rolex watches are so rare. Most have had dials/hands, etc replaced at some point in their past. Many customers loved it because they could, as part of the service, replace, for example the old matte dial on the first gen 16750 GMT and get a nice new shinny Gloss dial with the white gold indexes (and make it look like the latest version). The problem is that now the matte dial gen 16750 is worth about 30% more. The same went for meters first 5513, for red 1680, for matte 16800, etc, etc. Collectors want originality. It’s sad that 1000’s have been wiped of the values of vintage watches because they haven’t been conserved correctly and because of poor choices made by customers.

​​@@BeantownToBigD one unfortunate and lamentable result of the Rolex brand's corporate journey and change in focus is adoption of an 'unofficial' policy to orphan and abandon these now iconic 'non jewelry' time pieces which were at that time the brand's lower end product line and to stop manufacture of the parts and service for these time pieces. The tragedy of this unofficial policy is the legendary standards of time piece engineering the name Rolex once stood for is being lost forever. Rolex is now owned by a group who have chosen to invest their energy in harvesting rather than preserving and supporting that brand reputation. Now only, only the higher end chronometer level lines of the early Rolex brand are being supported. It's rare to find a watch professional who has even the lowest level of technical talent to service an early Rolex like this. This channel is outstanding in having an owner who is truly a "master watch maker" with the knowledge and skills to even attempt such a repair and restoration. These 'sport' watches were manufactured by Rolex to fill in as entry level time pieces meant to bring consumers into the brand and build loyalty and awareness. If you check the official catalogs for Rolex in the early 80s the company began their shift away from lower end consumer grade time pieces to focus more on higher priced jewelry time pieces in effect harvesting the enginerring reputation but not continuing to invest in maintaining that tradition and brand standard. if you compare this Rolex watch to those produced today by opening them up you can see how this tragic short sighted policy has hollowed out the Rolex brand reputation so today it no longer represents the high standards of time piece engineering that built the name Rolex.... Tragic loss..
