Here is when I service my one.

So I pull out my special tools.

I start with the universal case holder.

It´s no problem to get it open with correct tools.

The I use the crown release tool

And the tiny crown holder.

Then I pull out the movement.

The crown holder it´s a multi tool who can pull off the
hands too. Unfortunately it didn´t works on chronographs.

Then I will looking for things that not will be in place
until next service. I found out the logo need some new glue.

I have to do some works with the hands, the condition
is bad and some minor adjustments will help.

Time to see whats up below the dial.

Nothing fancy, just the date wheel.

So I have to pull off the date wheel to get a little
deeper inside the movement.

Not so many parts left here.

You have to be careful when you pull off the rotor, it´s
easy to damage it.

This time i was lucky, no problems to get it off.

Now I will pull off the rotor bearing bridge.

That was easy too.

And the special halfgear that shows it´s a real Rolex.

The 3 part balance wheel.

A closer look at it.

The afro hairspring.

And all the part I will clean and give som lubricant.

Just feel free to drop me a mail or PM if you need a
cheap service. Why pay $300 for a service? When I can
do it for you for $500.

Hourglass,

If I were you, I would contact the seller and get your money back! Not because it broke but its a fake!

Ironstark · 12 October 2007, 05:25 AM

Very nice Jocke

Jocke,

That's the best one yet..

I may have to steal some of your fine "Rollex" images...

Excellent Jocke!!! I knew it wasn't that hard!!

ducksaw · 12 October 2007, 06:05 AM

Those tools look like like very sophisticated instruments!

Letsgodiving · 12 October 2007, 08:28 AM

I knew all those fancy watchmaker schools were a rip off! Thanks for clearing up the myth of needing a "professional" to service my watch. This will save me some serious cash. Jocke, you are the best!

Either that or he didn't appreciate the way this thread got highjacked.

I, on the other hand, haven't laughed so hard in a long time. Jocke, you are a genius, my man!

hourglass · 12 October 2007, 10:44 PM

It's a fake of a copy of a replica copy.

Don't you understand this.

Earl · 12 October 2007, 11:46 PM

Hourglass, now that you know it's fake why don't you just go out and buy yourself a non fake watch a Timex perhaps, you know the one that takes a licking and keeps on ticking. This way you will not have to come here and ask us if it's real or fake ;o)

1l. "nice watch"
2. "worth gettin fixed"
3. "had a few other fake rolex's"
4. "quality not half as decent as this"
5. "replica copy"
6. "not the cheapo $10 fakes"

Never has so much been said in so few words.

roadcarver · 13 October 2007, 01:49 AM

If you say so. I think the garbage can that you'd throw that in is worth more than that folex.
