I really wanted to do something special for her due to her not having much left after my father died.
So new question...... I went home this morning after getting done work (I work nights) and wound the watch to see how long exactly it would stay running. The watch had stopped and I started to wind it. After about 10 turns it started to run again. I went about another 10 turns and felt a little resistance. I went to lock the stem into the crown and the stem broke. I don't know if it was due to defective parts or just my shear man strength. I trust the jeweler that repaired it, he has always been 100% honest with me. He talked me out of getting an aftermarket face for it and i think he only charged me $100.00 to get the original refinished and only recommended using factory Rolex parts. He told me that there was a one year warranty on his work...... Any opinions?
