What happens when a mechanic daily wears his Rolex?...
You get this, possibly the WORST condition watch I've ever had pass through my hands.. From every crack and crevice being filled with dirt, to the poorly running 3035 movement. Piece by piece this datejust 16030 is restored to its former glory!
As always, thanks to everyone for the continued support if you have a project for me feel free to reach out!

Anyone else gets their kicks from seeing this young man thrive while LB crashes and burns?

@ntag411 5 ай бұрын

IMO, LB has to do what needs to be done to stay afloat in a down market. The building, while not in a premium location in terms of traffic, would be a hefty fixed cost. Roman should have never made his association/approval of AF to the general populace. He should have kept his dealer to dealer dealings with a relatively unproven entity, AF, limited to shows and other gatherings.

Great video, Pete. I’ll be in the minority when I say I LOVE that this guy wore his Rolex through hell and high water. So many guys baby their Rolex and agonize over every ding or scratch. Sure- this was extreme- but respect to the guy for getting his money’s worth out of the brand.

Very true! He definitely enjoyed it.. maybe a little too much but hey it’s still running 😂

You did a great job of explaining the topic in a clear and concise way, and I learned a lot from watching your video. I also really appreciated the way you made the video engaging and entertaining. You kept my attention throughout the entire video, and I never felt bored or lost. I would definitely recommend your video to anyone who is interested in learning more about the video.

When my wife’s aunt passed away I was given the task of dealing with her watches. She had some very nice vintage and modern watches. Every one of them was packed with her dna on the backs of the case and bracelets. I ended up spending time cleaning them before taking them to my watchmaker for service and cleaning.

I love watches like this - doesn't matter what the exterior condition is, as long as the dial/hands were protected. And yes, I've seen watches with that much dirt. What's crazy is how they get all the dirt/mud *under* a rotating bezel! You pull the bezel and somehow it looks exactly like the lugs on your Rolex. How??? Great video, only wish you had shown your remedy for that frozen pin. My biggest annoyance is seized pins...

Hey Peter, I have a random question for you. If you got water in your Rolex (leaving the crown unscrewed), would it make sense to fill the watch with oil or alcohol to try to avoid any rusting until you can get it to a repair shop?

Peter already answered this on another video. He said: "Alcohol maybe but once water is in there it’s pretty much counting down the clock until rusting starts, alcohol will also damage some parts"

Dear Sir; Hope you are doing fine; I want to buy a Rolex watch from a friend who has 2 watches for sale: 1- 16220 - silver dial - made 1991 - 36mm - steel Bezel & oyster bracelet - sapphire glass - 3135 movement. 2- 16014 - black dial - made in 1978 - 36mm - steel/white gold bracelet/Bezel - acrylic glass - 3035 movement. Prices of both watches are nearly $5000 USD. But the condition of the 16014 is somehow better than the 16220. I need your advice, which one of them should I choose to buy? Appreciate your time & advice; Thank you

Watches will get really filthy from dead skin combined with body oil. I do a superficial clean most of the time using a toothbrush. A spudger, a plastic tool used for some electronics, scrape accessible areas. Watches like most of my 200M dive types can be more extensively cleaned with very warm water with dish liquid in a plastic bowl.
