Full restoration of abandoned 1950 ROLEX mechanical watch

In 1950, the Rolex Oister perpetual did not have that white plastic ring around the mechanism, and it did not have that window in the dial at the balance wheel. It was just made in a different way. It pained me to see how he handled the balance spring, how the screws in the assembly jumped all over the place, how he handled the dial with the metal pliers, how he used the hammer to fix the glasses. This is an apprentice blacksmith who teased us with a fake Rolex, possibly made in China.

I paused this immediately and read a few comments... i didn't want to waste 25 minutes of my life! 😂

Best fake restoration on fake rolex ever...

What a wonderful country, in the garbage cans you find a lot of things, gold bars, diamonds, Rolex watches, iPhones, latest generation laptops.

Nice glove he's wearing, best gloves for handling watches.

[johngaydos]

wow! glad someone found a Rolex! I find 7 or 8 of them a day!

[LouisArce-nu]

I like how gentle he is hammering and clanking metal tools on every part of the fake Rolex.
I've had enough, I can't bare to watch another second.

He must be good. Not many watchmakers can do it wearing gardening gloves.

hit here and there, pry here and there, with simple equipment, and the results are stunningly clean.🤗🤭🤭🤭

Yeah… those ultra rare open heart Rolexes, with the plastic works retaining ring, are worth millions☝️

There is no way that someone would throw a Rolex in a garbage dump. That's a counterfeit.

[edwardsantosa]

Finding a "Rolex" among trash, what are the odds? If I didnt know better I'd say he had put it there😁

[bambangsoesanto]

Rolex with plastic part..?😄 But it's ok.. I'm enjoy.😍

[ohger]

I think he found his tools in the dump as well. Servicing a watch takes exemplary cleanliness in the tools, storage containers, and environment.

Friends, instead of watching the video, read the comments, it is more interesting than the video.😜🙄

Волшебник, да и только. Пружину маятника растянул, секундную стрелку сломал, но о чудо!!

15:39 Spectacular. Why not use a grinder with a 40-grit flap disk? And then boil it for an hour in muriatic acid!!!

[tersellant]

I like the new set of hands reassembling the watch…..and all the new shiny parts including the unbroken seconds hand! Shows you how fake Rolex watches are made!

[Azubideu]

I don't care if it's real Rolex or fake anyway your talent is good and respectful

[secretagentbloke]

The high quality $5 Amazon watch tool kit says it all………
