I got this nice and sweet TT today.

Oupps, I just try to find my wrench in the oil drum.

So I have to clean it a bit.

I have to make sure it not will blow away.

So I pull out my genuine cleaning machine.

Here we go.

Just like when it leave the factory.

Now I have to take care of the clasp.

Grinding.

Welding.

A little more grinding.

Now we getting closer.

Very close.

Now I have to run to get a fiber pen to the final touch.

LOL! Perfect way to treat a fake.

Great job Jocke..............

You can't beat a good beater..........

Mr. Greene · 16 December 2010, 07:57 AM

I dont think your warranty is going to cover the damage

TattooedGQ · 16 December 2010, 07:59 AM

Jocke...where do you get all these "project" watches??

Dan2010 · 16 December 2010, 08:16 AM

MitchSteel · 16 December 2010, 08:26 AM

Don't encourage him, he already melted the crystal once.

Cru Jones · 16 December 2010, 08:38 AM

Good on you, Jocke, for treating the watch right with that genuine Rolex case cleaner....RSC will being getting after you for revealing their secrets!

hacampbell1360 · 16 December 2010, 08:40 AM

Joacim is your name??

I have a favor to ask,

I am looking for a good guy to service my 5 years old SS Daytona. I dont want to send to RSC because they charge me an arm and 2 legs. Can you do me a favor and service my Daytona for me for half the price????

Johny · 16 December 2010, 08:59 AM

I have try that.

I start with my cyclop remover kit.

Pull it up in my full size Bergeon case holder.

And start the work.

Damn, Rolex have quality glue so I have to warm it up a bit.

Now I hope it will come off.

Ouups, not so good.

What do you think, did I have to change crystal? Or can it
be polished?

Of course I will help you.

Here is how it looks last time I do a service.

I have to bring out my tools.

Open it up.

Pull off the crown.

Out with the movement.

The hands.

I always pull off the logo when I clean the dial.

I have to pull off the dial too.

Now the datewheel will be the next step.

There is goes.

And the rotor.

Now we dig a little deeper.

The patented three quarter gear.

The unique triple part balancewheel.

The afro mainspring.

And after some cleaning of the part I will put them back in reverse order.

bayerische · 16 December 2010, 09:19 AM

Awesome Jocke!

Saxon007 · 16 December 2010, 09:25 AM

Those hand pullers are precision instruments.

dddrees · 16 December 2010, 09:32 AM

Looks like this one only required a little minor adjustment.

kyle L · 16 December 2010, 09:36 AM

HFLO · 16 December 2010, 04:21 PM

Hmmm... not sure if I should ever service my rolex...

but definitely not by Jocke

or

a rolex is a 'real' rolex after Jocke's service

Sose · 16 December 2010, 04:53 PM
