Jocke - you're not going to clean this one with the blow torch are you?
Or I'll look away now.

It's my best friend since years (beside Paul) that have going with me everyday. How can you believe I will kill it?
I give it a new life once a year, now it's pretty close for that.

Just look for my cleaning report in the weekend.

I fail to see the need for any spa treatment on such a fine example of a well worn Rolex!!

I believe that this watch is Jocke's work horse that he never takes off even when fixing/customizing cars, building extra space for his garage, etc....
