My own service video: Rolex 5513

This is the video a forum member made of me during the service of his vintage Rolex Submariner.
I finally took the time to put it on YouTube, and would like to share it again, so it can be seen by all the enthusiasts on this network.

Great video Vanessa, thank you! One question, what Rolex are you wearing in the video? Is it a datejust II? (I should know better but I'm new to Rolex and the forums :-)

That's a very well done video. Anybody that has an appreciation of fine timepieces but have never watched this process needs to see what's going on under the crystal. That's a nice Sub, too. Thanks to all involved.

That is my 31mm Datejust (a.k.a. midsize). It's my daily watch for almost 8 years already! It's due for a service

Who are you going to get to service your watch?

I think the good lord gave you my share of patience. I'd like it back, please.

I need to find a good local watchmaker, I guess Suggestions are welcome


I honestly don't have much patience for anything in life... except when it involves tiny little parts...

Awesome video, I would be willing to pay extra if I could have a video like that of the service of my watches.
