Found this while looking for details of Rolex's design on waterproofing. Not really related to my question but pretty interesting none the less.

Where did the link go? I'd love to see what they do to the movement during a service.

Wow. I couldn't do that in a million years.

rmfnla · 29 May 2014, 03:59 AM

The plastic sheeting is new to me; my watchmaker wears latex gloves when he handles things...

jamesbondOO7 · 29 May 2014, 04:22 AM

Brilliant.

77T · 29 May 2014, 04:43 AM

He goes much faster on reassembly. Guess he knew what went where

Watchmaking must be like brain surgery in a way. The last thing you want to hear during any work is "oops".

They caught my eye as well; I still was just amazed by the complication of the watch assembly. FWIW, I'm really impressed which means a lot considering I make semiconductors for a living (it's a damned complicated process).

Very interesting, thanks for sharing.
