This Rolex Oyster from eBay could have been destroyed so easily.

I purchased this old Rolex Oyster with a caliber 3135 movement from eBay, I found a few problems - but the watch could have ended up being totally destroyed if I hadn't noticed a big issue when setting the time.

Mark, are you still working. I haven't been here a year or so. How are u doing?

what's the purpose of those four outermost jewels on the calendar plate?

How did you remove the jubilee bracelet ? No side holes in the case . Bracelet is for an older model , I think .

Lovely watch, and great vid! How come you treated the second wheel with fixodrop?

buy your watches at a dealership

more useful！ Good video. Thank you details explanation to solve step by step somewhere problems.

I just got hired by Rolex, part of this watch was my bench test. I can't wait to start my training.

Brilliant. I have just spent the last 23 mins with my jaw dropped on my chest.

Fantastic knowledge and execution.
NO disrespect but i use these videos to drop off to sleep when i suffer insomnia..i find this guys voice and actions very soothing..

This is my ASMR.. you have a great voice sir

You are finally back!

I truly enjoyed the video, I love watching these videos I find them therapeutic lovely watch too

Brilliant restoration, great narrative too 👏👍

Fantastic video. I will never part with my 15200. I have owned it from new since 2005.

Great to see her older sibling getting some love from a master of his craft.

Wonderful video and watch! My first of your many I hope!

Found you because of Marshall at Wristwatch Revival, and because he spoke so highly of you I subscribed even before watching a single one. I was not disappointed at all! After watching Marshall's videos it felt very quiet because of your minimal narration. I liked it none the less! I am looking forward to watching them all!

I haven't started working on watches yet but have been wanting to every since childhood. Clocks were the attraction and luckily I didn't ruin any of my mother's antiques! I did disassemble many things growing up and found that I have a natural mechanical aptitude. I have usually been able to repair most anything, except a SLR camera my late ex-wife had from high school. It is still stored in a box somewhere at my mom's awaiting my attention (and a working model of the same camera in addition to several repair manuals!).

Excited to watch all of the rest of your videos! Hope you are well and prospering!

Thank you. I learned a ton just watching this video! Now I see why the case screws on my Rolex look so jacked. Whoever worked on it apparently didn't know they slide UNDER the shelf, then snug upward against it. 🤦🏻‍♂️
Oh, well, at least now I know how it's supposed to go 😂

The colour of that dial is beautiful

Great job and Good Performance 👍

How do you remember which screws go where?

Hi, i have a watch with a Valjoux 7750 movement. The chronograph second hand does not reset to zero. However minute hand and hour hand seem to work fine and reset ok. Is this a very complicated issue ?

I absolutely love that you do not talk continuously like the Wristwatch Revival guy. That guy likes being watched while he works. You like doing the work, and have zero vanity, and I greatly prefer you because of that. vanity bad.

Please post more often! Happy hollydays my friend!

I now learned that bracelet is called ''metal strap''.😁😁😁😁

Brilliant as usual. So calm and informative.

I have a SEIKO Moonphase chronograph alarm with 7T36 6A3A movement. The second hand works but that's it. Using the crowns the mechanisms turn but don't work when crowns set back. Can you service this watch. 👍 Would make a great video.

Do you use magnifying glasses of some kind?

You are a very goodssional. I just had my 1993 serviced for the first time. It's a Rolex date just 36 mm with a 3 caret bezel, black face with yellow gold markerser

Mark,

If you do not have one of those fancy spinning watch parts cleaner machine...what does one use to clean the watch parts?

Thanks

I think you are mostly using molykote dx - is that correct?

I miss your videos! Hope you are doing well.

I really enjoy watching your videos.

ok- this guys a pro-- I feel so amateurish watching this, ugh

Hi Mark,
Great video as usual..
I wanted to ask you if and how i could send you my watch that needs repair.
Is a 70s Favre-Leuba daymatic, which i love and needs service and maybe some repairs.
Thanks for letting me know..
Kr,

Your channel is awesome!. Step-by-step for the beginner and also useful tips for the more advanced watch enthusiast.

I wouldnt know how to put all back on the right place.
I did make that mistake when i tried at young age. 😅
Great Job 🤗

if my eyes dont trick me, you are using molykote dx in the service of this watch in multiple lubrication points.
Is that correct? I would like to replicate this if it is.

Wow, how do you remember where everything goes.

You should ask for an additional refund for the cost of a standard Rolex maintenance. You have video proof of the seller's misrepresentation of the product.

I imagine one good sneeze. While working with small parts would be enough to ruin the day

If it manually so need precision is it possible a machine can replace a human skill do such things like this I wonder with so many parts can you in other video explained functions of every part must be interesting thankyou.

Looking forward to the new vid....👍🏻

Nice

Tha prince

Please don't stop making videos. I really learned a lot through your course. When are you going to release level 4 of the course?

What a beautiful watch. Fantastic video. Thank you for sharing :)

Love this channel!

Great video! I don't think I'd ever risk working on a Rolex even though it's probably better made than most and therefore easier to work on than most.

I'm surprised that you wanted a refund for the damaged strap its a used watch afterall
