Wanna See My Insides?

Picked up my first Rolex last week and wanted to make sure she was all tuned up and running at peak performance. Asked the WC21 Technician to talk a few picture to share with TRF, here they are.

I’ll show a before/after when I get her back…

Surely a tune up doesn't require disassembly I wouldn't think...what was he doing? all those parts make my head dizzy!

I would be soooo tempted to take that to a jeweler in a baggie, just to see their reaction...

I worked the counter at a store that sold things we can't talk about, and a few times a year someone would sheepishly come in with a bag of parts and ask for assistance...

Great idea to ask for pictures. Thanks for sharing. I've seen my 116520 in a "million' pieces. Fascinating, and scary at the same time. Then to put it back together and regulated to gain less than a second a week. Watchmakers are amazing. This is part i like the most about fine watches. What would be an equivalant? Flying to Jupiter and only being off course by two feet?

Wow, the movements always look so tall and thick once they are outside the case? Anyone agree?
