Rolex in the wrong hands...............

[Valenciawatchrepair]

Just want to see what else people have seen here.

I do repairs to the trade. Opened up a midsize with a 2135. Thought it would be just another normal service.

Someone used globs of glue to put some tiny washers/ring on the rim of the balance wheel. This watch was running horrible. Hairspring in bad shape too. Not to mention a whole mess of scratches on the bridges and main plate! Would love to know who was in this watch last!! Luckily the case and bracelet cleaned up very nicely.

Any stories of a service gone bad, or a watch you acquired and then later found out it had some serious problems?
