    A sad story to say the least, a #rolex GMT master was sent in due to it being completely flooded with sea water then left to sit for a few months! safe to say a Rolex or any mechanical watch is not something you can just leave out to dry!
    Full restoration taking you guys step by step as I turn this non running, rusted basically destroyed Rolex movement back into a fully functional timepiece!

    After 5 years of watching all types of watches on RUclips, this is the first to see the watchmaker actually adjust those little "stars" on the Rolex when a watch has been past the +6,-4 parameters, nice one, great fix .

Not knocking the other channels, but I don’t care for ASMR. Did an amazing job with this. Thanks for sharing and Merry Christmas ✌🏻

    Peter, thanks for bailing me out. This is my watch and Tommy was nice enough to get me in touch with you when Rolex would not touch the watch due to the after market part. She's back on my wrist now and keeping time beautifully. This was a college graduation present from my parents in 1994 and was purchased in Davos, Switzerland where my parents have a home. My mom is Swiss. For those reasons this watch means so much to me so Thank You! Btw, I didn't know that cream hands were an option to match the dial. I'd love to do that!

    1:50 - The way the dial face perforated and cracked to look almost like fish scales - would have looked sick if the entire face was like that.
    It would have been impossible to preserve it and keep it that way.
    But it would have been “1 in the world” unique.
    Another dope video! Keep it up! 👍

    great work man, we have talked on reddit before about watchmaking in australia etc and you do show some great skill - some tips for next time, remove the cam yoke jewel BEFORE removing the GMT cover plate - they are super easy to loose and by keeping the cover plate on first youll save yourself the stress (of course take the calandar wheel plate off first lol) -- and also just general cleanliness, lots of bits of fluff everywhere and some small finger prints but that all comes with practice, your doign amazing
