Are the Rolex watches made today still made without compromise? Do they use their own in-house movement or, like cars, do they farm out parts to countries all over the world and "assemble" them in-house? Rolex makes 900,000 a year. A. Lange & Sohne makes 5,000 watches a year. I have no proof but I think the scarcity of Rolex is an artificial construct. In fact, I highly doubt that there are enough buyers for the 900,000 watches a year Rolex makes. For instance, what if customer demand is closer to 100,000 watches a year? How would we know? Perhaps more nefarious, Rolex could have modeled their business after the diamond industry. Production is artificially regulated to keep demand and prices high. What's the rub with Rolex?

@@lloydgarth1 Thanks, Lloyd. That was a great video. Really, Rolex makes and sells 900,000 watches a year? Just stunning. Though the video provides incite into Rolex’s operation, it raises more questions than answers.

Honest, humble, sincere... That's what knowledge and experience sound like!

I had a master watchmaker service a Hamilton 992B pocket watch and regulate a Seiko SARB 33. He told me he *really* didn’t want to touch the Seiko. He said the movement in the SARB 33 was erratic, but he did what he could to regulate it. He said in his opinion, the Hamilton 992B was one of the finest watches he’s ever worked on. And he said that the Hamilton had saved lives since it was used to regulate railways during WWII. He said working on the Hamilton gave him joy. I kept the Hamilton and sold the Seiko,

I lived across the street from a certified watchmaker in the mid 70's . He was a member of the A. W. I. He trained me on pocket watches, big Ben , and baby Ben alarm clocks, also mantle and cuckoo clocks. Cuckoo clocks were fun and difficult to work on. I have always admired the horology trade. Truly a lost art. Thank you for posting this video.

2:32 this man uses the word "hype"... he resonates with me on so many levels as a young watch lover

What a truthful honest man, I would trust him impeccably to service my watches.

Humility, open, willing to share and give helpful advices…Thank you Orlando!

Thank you Willy Forbin, I’m always happy to share.

Thank you for this video! It is refreshing to listen to a mature professional watchmaker rather than a youngster who’s excited about collecting watches. I think you are onto something here. How nice it would be to teach us the ins and outs of what separates movements from one another-what makes “quality” in a given caliber.

This was such a wholesome video, he seems like a great watchmaker.

I appreciate the quality of this tasteful interview - the questions were good and the answers were very informative. I also appreciate this watchmaker’s expertise and professionalism. Thank you 🙏

This man is the most reasonable person I have ever heard in my life.

Fantastic intro and overall production. A really nice touch to have a woman’s voice asking the questions. Lastly, this gentleman is super knowledgeable, we need more of this type of content in the watch industry!

Sincerely, I love the earnest perspectives of this gentleman and the thoughtful questions asked of him.

As a 2nd generation watchmaker, 30+ years & counting, I couldn't agree more!👍 practice practice practice! & I'm still learning. if you don't have a passion for it, don't bother trying. But if you do have that passion, jump on in! But leave ur ego at home. this is one of the most difficult, underrated and misunderstood careers(or hobbies) on earth, IMO.

Outstanding video quality brother, rivals anyone on KZread. Love this series!

This was very enjoyable to watch and listen to. Great insights - thanks.

so genuine and so hard to find such rare content these days

What an amazing idea for a video and what wonderful execution! Well done WCS!

I am a watch enthusiast that started quite late because I didn't any money for this endeavor. I collect watches that I like but also within my budget which is 1K or below. So nice to finally see your channel. More power to you sir.

Wow I must say it was beautiful to watch this video. My father is a retired watchmaker. As a kid I would watch him work on watches, it fascinated me but never really was interested in learning. My dad had the opportunity to have his dream job and be a watchmaker for a Rolex. He was very proud to work for Rolex in Beverly Hills. Watching this video brought back so many great memories.

Awesome!! Thank you. I could watch these all day

The expertise just drips from him, real pro and pleasant to listen too.

@@kyle_vr yes. cosmeticly to will look great, and on the inside it will like it was worn everyday for however long it’s been spinning; metal shaving in the mainspring barrel, worn pivots, a sagging rotor weight, stretched arbor port and oil that’s dried and turned to abrasive. I think Spencer Kline has a good take on winder, “ running a machine constantly isn’t maintenance, it’s the opposite of maintenance.”

If you use the winder for what it was intended for and service at regular intervals (factory specs) there should be no problems. Set on the lowest revelations to maintain the winding and not over winding and you should not have a problem!

High production quality. It was really nice listening to and watching.

Finally, a watchmaker to look up to. Just brilliant. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

Amazing video production and content, I absolutely loved this.

I’ve recently become fascinated with the complexity of watches and the minuscule size of the parts. Watching several vids, I’ve come to appreciate the watch maker’s skills (and frankly, the cost to rehab a vintage watch). How I would love to be a part of your watch making class. Won’t work this year, but definitely on the bucket list for the future.

This was fantastic. Down to earth and without pretention. I liked the assessment of microbrands and underscoring what they bring to the whole industry. I do have a quick question. There are definitely some movements that are more pleasurable to work on, while others can be quite frustrating. What movement do you find the most enjoyable to work on? (and vice versa if you are open to sharing that).

Great. Appreciate the careful explanations. Only special people can work on watches. Takes a special kind of patience and attention to detail.

I love that type of videos. Basically all the information, that we watch enthusiasts are looking for, summarized in 10 minutes. Question: are Sellita movements really equal to ETA? And are the grades of eta movements relevant for the performance and longevity of the movement, or are the top grades just nicer decorated?

@orlandowatchcompany1777

Hans thanks for the questions, I don’t think the average Sellita is as good as ETA they still have some problems in the winding and setting system. Saying that still a good movement
