1. My view is u lose a lot of gold from the watch by using the machine buffer. The lugs become thin and lose the unpolished shape. 2. Use cap code cloth and rub, watch will.shine. 3. For dents , a jeweller can use 18k gold to patch / cover the hole
Lugs have not been polished with the buffer machine, only by hands using "Bergeon cabron d'émeri" (i dont know the english words for that, but it's tools made by the biggest watchmaker's tools commagny) so they don't loose the original shape, the buffing machine is used only to leave the brushed aspect, just a small pass with no pressure, this is a "Bufflex" wheel made for that purpose exclusively. I am not a big fan of the cap code cloth, a professional polishing machine like mine works better in my opinion, with a big range of wheels and different polishing componds to use depending on wich material your working on. I completely agree for the dent fixable by soldering, I've worked ten years in a jewelery workshop :)
You can repair it but you need a special tool for that, to "open" the links one by one and replacing the spindles inside, also probably a laser welder to repair the most damaged areas

You usually tell the viewer this but in this case I’ll tell you “thanks for Watching” 🤣
Restoration? Wrong title. Polishing and sanding of a Vintage Gold Rolex Day Date 18238
Great work. What or which technique do you use for the lug satin finish? Greetings
Every watchmaker has his own techniques and tools kept secret 🙊🙊
Would've loved to see the inner workings of the watch
I have a datejust to do soon, ill make a video about it ;)
Good job 😀 would a occasional ultrasonic cleaning help as much as the polishing 🤔

Hi how you make that effect in 0:55 on the top of lugs/case ? Awesome
Hi, using masking tape + a bufflex wheel

What about grain size?
Very beautiful and before the weight then after the restoration, did it lose some grams of gold or still the same. Cheers
Always loses weight
Is there a way to tighten the links after they stretch after long use? Or would you just need a new bracelet for it?
