One of my watches don´t run like I want so I have to send it in.

Today I got it back and here is what they change.

I hope they put in a Parachrome blue. LOL

Ok, the fresh backside.

Fresh polished sides with protection tape.

A fresh TvinLock with a new tube.

Sharp lugs.

Factory fresh and ready for some grinding and welding again.

I will strip it off tomorrow and take some decent pics of it before I start to wear it.

Hi Jocke.

That looks like the one YOU cleaned up 2 weeks ago.....

I thought you had messed it up.......But I didn't like to say.

Regards Mike.

I cleaned it up in Dec last year but it dosent run great. So I have to send it in to the proffessionals
and they was told me a cleaning was not enough.

Now it should works like a charm I hope.

OK.

But it was probably a good idea to clean it........if you had sent it back like it was they would have thought you were

Looks great. I hope it's running up to specs again.

pwrslider · 14 May 2008, 06:52 AM

Way cool Jocke and parts back to boot.

Bobareno · 14 May 2008, 08:07 AM

I thought Rolex only traded parts, how did you get all the old parts back?

That's what i was thinking!

Only thing i've managed to get returned thus far is busted original bracelets!

Lol-x · 14 May 2008, 10:52 AM

Jocke did you really get a parachrome blue hairspring in your 1601?

I don´t think that. I say: "I hope they put in a Parachrome blue".

I don´t believe Rolex made the old balance wheel with the new spring.

Great looking watch, Jocke.

I've never seen green striped protective tape on the side of the case before.

sherwin · 14 May 2008, 11:54 PM

wow... you get back your parts... i asked for my dial back (sentimental reasons) and i was given the big NO

SPACE-DWELLER · 18 May 2008, 12:26 AM

Cool package!

When are you going to peel off that plastic and show us the polished case?

No offense, but why did you not have the WG bezel exchanged?

The plastic is off and there are already scrathes.

Of course I don´t replace my beater bezel, it´s too much patina.

Don´t forget it´s a EDC beater, I have nicer ones when I dress up.

Jocke: i'm sure you have other rolexes, but none better. that's one beautiful
watch.
best,

SPACE-DWELLER · 18 May 2008, 04:44 AM

Jocke, question for you:

It's my understanding that the WG alloy that Rolex uses nowadays is not Rhodium plated and will therefore stay white.

On your DJ 1601, the WG clearly shows YG underneath, so my question is when Rolex improved the WG alloy/stopped using Rhodium plating?

Or will ANY WG - including the alloy Rolex uses - indeed show signs of wear (YG underneath it) eventually?

Sorry Bo for once I´m speechless.

That means I don´t know the answer.
