And I did that all before lunch

Great video. Not one I'll be trying at home.

For me this should be titled why not to service your Rolex at home. Very impressive skills. I would be left with a few leftover bits if I gave it a go.

Great viewing, thanks for that.

I suppose everything's easy when you know how!

Great viewing. I would have cross threaded far too many of those screws!!

Thanks for posting.

watching this just shows how fascinating these things really are!

Excellent video. I lost three screws in the carpet within two minutes.

If I give this a try on my new Sub, wonder if Rolex will honour the warranty if the re-assembly doesn't go to plan...

[TheBigUnit]

Terrifying!

Amazing... to start with through I forgot just how much the video was zoomed in.

Which one shall I do, the vintage Daytona or the Deepsea?

[Variomatic]

Good video, but surely only a rank amateur would oil the balance jewel hole directly instead of applying the oil to the endstone (where it's most needed) and letting capilliary action draw it into the pivot. The way he's done it he'll be needing new endstones in another 20 - 30 years!

How does that 11 minute video help you understand the absurd servicing costs?

I don't think it does. But the figures I've heard bandied about don't shock me, assuming that the bracelet is refinished at the same time, which I gather it is.
