My new work watch>>>>>

Today I got a new watch I will have on my work.



First day was not so good, I have to dive in a oil drum after a tool.



I believe it will run a little bit fast now.



I suppose I have to clean it.



So I have to put it at a piece of wood.



I have to make sure it will not fell off when I clean it.



So here is the solution.



Now I´m pretty sure it will works.



So I pull out my genuine watch case cleaner.



And there we go.



Damn it´s dirty, I have to go a little closer.



Now it looks real good, or what?.



Then I have to fix the clasp.



A little grinding.



Then some welding.



This one was thin, so I have made a little bigger hole
at the clasp. But now it´s fixed.



Then some grinding again.



And the fine works is done. Now I have to find my Cape Cod
to do the final work and it will be close to orginal.



Jocke

Why didn't you hold the watch in your hand when you pressure-washed it?

That would have required some very serious pressure measuring in several tons per square inch to squash a Rolex Sub case!!!

WTF is going on here? I am seriously tripping out over here seeing that sub get "pressure tested". Obviously after the first minute or two I realized it was a fake, or perhaps you have moved on to Panerai ?
