I know alot of you guys dont get to see inside a rolex all the time so here are a couple of pictures I took a little while earlier tonight..I had to replace a rotor on a rolex,and the movements are just a magnificent marvel of tiny technology at work-so without further adue...I give you 3075..,..unmasked..

JimSnyder · 7 January 2009, 02:57 PM

Soldering gun??? To connect the battery on the JJ model?

stevemulholland3 · 7 January 2009, 03:01 PM

I really dont work on movements that much...at least I didnt use to..times are tuff and if I can I just do the work myself these days..the technician was going to charge me 200 for what took me twenty minutes to do myself..

vegaseddie · 7 January 2009, 03:05 PM

Great pics. Amazing how much gets cramed in there.

WatchTimes · 7 January 2009, 03:08 PM

WOW
Nice and how did you learn to do all this???

Thanks for sharing the pics, I ruined plenty of watches as a kid
trying to see what the inside looked like, now I know what the inside
of a Rolex looks like and I don't have to ruin my watch :)

Wolfgang427 · 7 January 2009, 03:09 PM

stevemulholland3 · 7 January 2009, 03:16 PM

That would be nice so then I wouldn't have to sell my Rolex watches to fund my new ones.

Do you know that George Daniels has worn a Rolex Datejust for decades and everyone assumes that he has a stock DJ when in fact he has a custom co-axel movement inside made by him years ago that blows away the original movement in accuracy and reliablity.
