Not gonna lie...I've used all the same "tools" with no issue. When you're on the road you gotta use what you have on ya!

 

[bama1965]

LOL! I hear you CM and completely understand.

I made my Sub a destro with a paperclip, swiss army penknife, Leatherman and a push pin.

oh, and 5 shots of Jack Daniels...

 

[sub4me]

I like it alot, and it works very well.:sub4me:

Cisors, the straightest way to scratches :facepalm:

 

[Mr. Pap]

I dont see anything wrong, he even uses gloves...!:beatahorse:

and a couple of missing fingers..

 

[QinetiQ]

This could go wrong in so many ways and I don't even know where to start. A Rolex caseback opener wouldn't cost you more than those scissors.

Oh and is this a gen Rolex?

A little mistake and you will ruin your caseback definitively, or your hand !!
Besides, it is no necessary, you have rubber balls, tape and...specific cheap tools !!
What a silly and dangerous system!!

Plastic movement holder.

This MUST be the proper method and tools - the bottom of the screen says "Watch Professionals"!

I was seeing the potential for a real Monty Python moment when he was loosening the caseback! I also heard a slip 'click' went he was tightening it back up.

Otherwise handy home-brewed tricks. (and who doesn't like home brew?)

 

[sub4me]

Yes bad method, no doubt, but very funny indeed.:sub4me:

 

[RWIGWH]

Now I know why my father always told me I was a professional.

 

[believer123]

Yep, an awfully bad method of cleaning your Rolex. I actually watched this video before I found RWI and tried this method on my GEN Explorer II; needless to say, I scratched my dog on case back... I was furious.

Now after being a RWI member, I can clearly see that he used a REP watch; a cheaper 21j model at that...

I feel like an IDIOT... I cost me $100 to have the scratch buffed out and it is still noticeable!

Take it from me... either use the tape, the rubber ball, buy a case back opener (which I have since done) or take or send the watch to a watchmaker!

 

[sub4me]

You did that to your gen?? That sucks.

A rep who gives a shit but never to a gen, damn man.

Plastic movement holder.

could be swiss plastic.

 

[bama1965]

could be swiss plastic.

I think I have one of those
