How to service Rolex at home.....Don't.

Unless my home is an RSC, nope. Even with a certified Watchmaker, a generic home isn't the right environment for this.

Love this video. Thanks.

I've practiced servicing the cheap DG2813 movements and have spent quite a bit of time replacing dials, hands, etc., on other watches. I find it very meditative -- there's no mental room to think about anything else when working on a movement. I can't imagine ever attempting to work on a high-end movement, though.

Here's a great series. I've watched them many times!
