Has anyone noticed that the watchmaker left the crown attached to the mainplate the whole time even in the cleaning machine?

Makes you think twice about who and where you should have to service your watch!

Fascinating to see that complexity of a mechanical watch.
The main spring is always a surprise to see just how large it actually is.

The video is marvelous!
it's amazing to see the submariner being disassembled and taking a close look to each of the components. My question is: 1. Since Rolex is mass produced, do they actually have a machine that does all that? or, Are each rolex assembled by man? 2. When I take my sub to RSC and have it serviced and have the movement cleaned, is that what they need to do?! Wow.... it's amazing and makes me feel like it's really worth taking it up to RSC and paying for the man labor. |

Beautiful video. I actually think Rolex movements are gorgeous. Just wished they did something about the rotor. I think it would be sweeter if they engraved something on there instead.
But in actuality when we can't see the movement anyway so... |

That was great.. Thanks for posting. Couldn't help but think of how much easier it would be to shovel spaghetti in my mouth with a table like that! Gotta get one.
