this was fascinating! How long did it take beginning to end to service this watch?

Would have liked to see the water and pressure testing too.

This was filmed over three days.
The pressure test was recorded but Cameron had to cut a lot of scenes to make the video to keep people's attention and not too long.

great stuff.

stray_cat · 27 January 2015, 05:35 AM

Superlative!! (Watchmaker, watch, facilities and production)..
Was any regulation needed to get it spot on?

great video :)

Fantastic video Vanessa!

I have a question though, I never use my brass tweezers and mostly use the dumont nickel Nr 12 since it has smaller tips and won't scratch the rhodium coating either, is there an advantage to using the brass one?

I've used those same tweezers for the last 11 years... it's what I'm used to.

RazorD · 29 January 2015, 02:23 AM

Very cool video.

Informative and enjoyable, Vanessa, thanks. Illustrated explanations are always easier to comprehend.

The Joker · 30 January 2015, 02:39 AM

Great vid, remember seeing it the first time round.

Invictus Maneo · 30 January 2015, 03:09 AM

Vanessa, you definitely have skills, and I DO mean skills! Amazing to watch you work! Thanks for posting it and for Cameron taking the time to produce it! You are a true and valuable asset to this forum and I appreciate all you do for us! Thank you!

I drink too much coffee, and just for safety when I poke around, added a couple sizes of these from CousinsUK recently..

Because I definitely don't have steady watchmaker hands.

RolexJNJ · 30 January 2015, 04:08 AM

Great video! And nice ride!!

Cesium133 · 30 January 2015, 02:32 PM

What a great video! You make it look so easy. Thanks for sharing.

Vanessa CW21 · 30 January 2015, 03:29 PM

Thank you all for the kind comments.
I've been so fortunate to find the career I was born to do, and to have the opportunity to work for a great company with fun people and awesome flexibility! I cannot ask for more. I LOVE my job and I am so happy Cameron gave me the chance to share my passion with all of you! (BTW, that's Cameron's car in the video

)

kam1 · 2 February 2015, 08:16 AM

That was awesome!

Robert Cross · 13 February 2015, 07:15 AM

Vanessa,

That is one informative video, so much so I did the google on JOT.

Very well done site, and wonder of wonders there in the Catalog was the blue dial Datejust I've been looking for....boo-ya!

It will be in it's new home soon...let Kenny know your vid is responsible.

Couldn't ask for better service and at a very fair price to boot!
