My new work watch>>>>>
Today I got a new watch I will have on my work.
First day was not so good, I have to dive in a oil drum after a tool. I believe it will run a little bit fast now. I suppose I have to clean it. So I have to put it at a piece of wood. I have to make sure it will not fell off when I clean it. So here is the solution. Now I´m pretty sure it will works. So I pull out my genuine watch case cleaner. And there we go. Damn it´s dirty, I have to go a little closer. Now it looks real good, or what?. Then I have to fix the clasp. A little grinding. Then some welding. This one was thin, so I have made a little bigger hole at the clasp. But now it´s fixed. Then some grinding again. And the fine works is done. Now I have to find my Cape Cod to do the final work and it will be close to orginal. Jocke

What kind of super oil is that? It seems to have dissolved the gold plating off of the genuine Rolex bracelet.

I am just 30 and I believe I just had what one might call a mild heartattack. Great post Jocke LOL!. At first glance I thought the second pic was the watch melting in some very high heat conditions.

The bad thing is not that the watch is a fake... but that nobody know when Jocke will do that with a true Rolex
