I cant believe how people do this - it scares me how complicated movements are

 

[Hazardmanlog]

That is really cool.

Pretty impressive. From the looks of that video, he can service a Rolex in less than an hour, other than the time it takes to clean the parts, which isn't shown. I doubt if it's true in reality.

It's amazing how he makes the hands drop into place perfectly the first time. And it turns over exactly at 12.

I am not gonna bitch when I hear quotes of 500-600 dollars for service.

Many of the parts get cleaned in a sonic bath, gaskets get lubricated (if new), pressure testing is done after servicing.....generally, a 'smith will have your watch for a few days if serviced by appointment..

The skills that watchsmiths have is really incredible.

They make it look so easy.

The bare fingers on the plates and dial edges at the beginning would have failed him at my watchmaking school. He gloved up by the end and used better technique, but he probably left some skin oils on the edge of the dial that were not cleaned off. Finger cots look weird, but they save time and prevent fingerprints.
