Discount Rolex Repair Service!

Due to underwhelming demand for my Rolex watch repair services the last time I posted them, I'm now also providing overhauls for other fine watches such as Patek Phillipe and Audemars Piguet. I'm quite sure no other watchmakers will be able to match my unique level of service. All I need now are some exquisite watches to work on.


First, to undo those darned stubborn casebacks I use the Acme OneSizeFitzall Caseback Whack-a-Matic:






It comes with several adaptors to handle most case configurations.






After disassembly, I thoroughly clean all those delicate internal components:









I have the Larry Tools patented Watch Wash-a-Matic to gently clean the case and bracelet. This machine is also used to fully wind automatic watches in 3 nanoseconds prior to return shipping:






You can be assured of receiving quality service, as I've been thoroughly trained by the master used parts pickers/watchmakers here at Slightly Used Auto Parts & Watchmaking School.

They are also my main source of almost factory authorized parts.

Please note that they carry an extensive inventory of parts for your priceless, irreplaceable timepiece, so we don't need to use any of those dodgy Made in Switzerland parts.






During reassembly, only the highest quality specialized lubricants will be used at all critical wear points.










After reassembly I check and verify the timing with my master chronometers, much more accurate that COSC testing.









I also use my own secret, patented refinishing process. I think you'll agree that the results are quite remarkable.






After completion, your treasured timepiece will be shipped back using only the most reliable, expedient and secure method. All of the spare bits and pieces I find inside during the overhaul will be shipped by separate carrier at the same time.






I'm now also offering a new service, unique to the watchmaking industry. Worried about shock damage from wearing your Rolex while golfing, your Audemars Piguet while playing polo, or your Patek Phillipe during bar fights? Worry no more, I've perfected the Kif/Incablock shock protection test procedure.

As a disclaimer though, I should point out that not all watches pass the test.












If you're concerned about your watch getting lost in the mail and prefer to carry your treasured timepiece in for service, I have two retail locations for your convenience.









As you can see, renowned international and intergalactic experts are unanimous in their opinion of my unique services.

















Some images courtesy of Larry and Jocke. The rest I shamelessly swiped from unknown internet entities.

The answer to that one is you can't tell until the case is opened.

Hmmm. I've posted this once a year for the last 5 or 6 years in the Rolex forum, and it has stayed there every time to be enjoyed by the membership as a tongue in cheek response to virtually every question ever posted there. This time around, however, "someone" has decided it doesn't belong in the same forum it always lived in.

This is very disappointing. I wonder what has changed in the last year?
