What is best a custom Rolex or a Rolex that is stuck in custom?

Buy a professional camera and you´re a professional
photographer, buy a flute and you own a flute.

Great write up as usual.

Question, wouldn't it be best to clean the head before opening it?

Love seeing these posts when you clean it.
Amazing to see someone who really wears the watch like its meant to be worn and how amazing it looks after a cleaning.
I only know a couple people who wear their watches through everything like you do.
My friend is a mechanic for Porsche and wears a Sub his dad got in the military in the 60's. My friends dad wore it when deployed in Vietnam and my friend wore it on two deployments in the Middle East. He wears it everyday at work, it has some battle scars but he has a great story for each one!

Do you do Le Creusettes? Iliana’s nails cost more than a Rolex.

Wow, do you live in a coal mine? Amazing after the clean up. Would love to have the skill and knowledge to attack a project like that.
