After reading some of the comments I will point a couple of things out - I have one of those rare things - a sense of humour 😁 this video was not to be taken serious but it seems so many people have done.
For those who could not see the obvious - The guy at the start was a friend and it was some admittedly poor acting.
The watch was purchased with my own money and I was free to do whatever I wanted with it, including destroying it - my watch, my choice.
If you can’t deal with that then that’s on you - you shouldn’t have watched especially since the thumbnail shows pretty much what happens.
To those who watched it and took it with the light hearted humour that was intended, thanks for watching and cheers for your support 🙏🙏👍

There are rumors that igrotum has the Rolex database of serial numbers and sells replicas with the same serial numbers as the originals

[Geetakegyan]

That, my friend, is not a clone, its a piece of junk. Ziarex has Swiss-made replicas, the same as the originals. Compared to his watches, this is nothing

Speaking as a retired auto mechanic, I've taken apart, and reassembled many complex units (engines, transmissions, ABS controls, and even a few ECM's), but I am trully amazed at the complexity of watches! To be able to disassemble, repair, and reassemble is an art. Something I would never attempt! You, sir, are a true craftsman. Good job, and a great vid.

[mcstuiain]

Imagine getting half way through with the saw and realising you got it mixed up with the real one 😂

I'm from the States, and I just wanted to let you know that I've been watching all of your videos for the past couple of weeks. I've been kind of stagnating in life. I've been unsatisfied, and I've wanted to change course. I'm tired of being in a job that lacks creativity and working with my hands.

So! I have applied to the North American Institute of Swiss Watchmaking! You've inspired me so much that I bought some tools, took apart (and reassembled) all of my watches. I love it and I'm very excited to start this new journey!

What made so many YouTubers recoil from the final scene was not a lack of humour, but an abundance of respect for your work and how you go about it. It's the meticulous effort, not the crappy watch that we value. The rare "thing" you have is your profound modesty - a scarce and most endearing virtue in these times. Cheers!

Just think what a movement like this took to build 40 years ago. Today we knock it, when I started machining I could only hope my machines, training, skill would get good enough to build things like this. 40 years later and some of these parts being made in mass production with the tolerances they have is amazing!

[Moelgaard]

I feel sad for the watch. It didn't choose to be made as a fake, and now it gets cut in half :(

[laurencemills]

Probably more amazed that any object with so many intricate parts can be made, assembled and sold at a profit for as little as £50

[ageingungracefullypushingt]

Once cleaned and properly oiled, I wonder what the lifespan of this watch would have been? It looks reasonably well made for only L50.

[uqox]

I'm a novice and I appreciate every single video an expert-level watch maker does that shows me the work from beginning to end. I love the creative way you introduced the watch. Funny! I'll say this, even with the oil and one or two metal slivers the parts themselves don't look shoddy. The watch looks like a good practice mechanism. Such a helpful demonstration of a straight service. Two years later, still useful. Thank you. I aim to get good enough one day to skillfully dismantle a watch and then fully clean, oil, and reconstruct it.

During the Soviet Union era I make tons of money fixing watches. I started like а hobby, love fixing things, I love mechanic.lm a mechanical engineer.Because of some personal reasons I don't do it anymore, but I still love it and missed badly. I still have my tools ready for action. Thank you for this beautiful presentation.

[dr.s.p.]

I personally thought this was a great presentation and a clear guide on how one should strip and put back together this watch. I am genuinely impressed with the tools and obvious care you give to them. 👍

[pablocrvzz]

I find ur craft truly amazing, and mind blowing to know and understand each movement and which part do what, with the use of ur tools is simply amazing! I really appreciate watching this video 👍🏾

4:53 Oil, hair and fingerprints, I'm surprised you didn't find the guy's lunch in there.

[edomanurevolution]

For 50 quids that’s quite a deal for someone like me: I do keep a fake Rolex on my bedside table every time I leave my house, making sure that it’s clearly visible. So that if anyone breaks into my house while I’m not there, they’ll steal that and run away thinking that they got their best loot ever. Also, they most likely won’t look for anything else after they got that.
So yeah, for me something that costs 50 bucks and looks pretty similar to the real deal is a good purchase 😂

[geordiemik]

When watching videos like this one I'm always confused as to how so many people in the chain of supply of these things can all make a living out of them. All of those components shown in the video had to be manufactured to some reasonable standard otherwise they would never fit together and work, so there is a cost involved there. Someone then has to be paid at least a pittance to build the thing into at least a reasonable attempt at a watch and it then gets shipped half way around the world so that some geezer can sell it for £50! They must have to produce thousands of the things so that everyone can take a sliver out of that £50.

[mrtwister]

Honestly, I would have paid £50 for that with or without the Rolex badge because it was still a nice watch with a surprisingly complex build. With so many alternate ways to find out the time, I couldn't justify spending more on a watch than what I spent on my last vehicle.
