Cool 3135 Service Video

Part 1 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6xn4TSULVd8
Part 2 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PCE0NwtLEV8

How cool is that?! Though I'm in no position to judge this man's work, IMO a master is at work. Apologies to anyone who has seen this already.

Amazing video! It really shows you the inside of why Rolex is nothing but quality. It still doesn't sit in my mind that you have to pay $700 for a little little bit of lubrication, and to take it apart.

The art of watch making is simply stunning. The way the service tech mastered the movement is amazing. The number of years that go into what he makes look simple is inspiring.

What an amazing video. The parts machined to those specifications, the precise way they all fit together, and the ability of a person to orchestrate that.

Great example of knowledge and ability is money. If it was that easy we would all be doing full services at home.
