The Anatomy Of A Rolex

A fascinating video for those of us who don't have the time or the talent to go to watchmaking school like Carl.

Very educational, thank you for sharing. The barrel is my favorite part.

Great Video! When I had a full tune up done on my watches I ask for an Anatomy picture.
1. TT
2. Sub
3. DD

I love the complications of a Rolex and truly appreciate a CW21 Watch Maker's talents!
