VINTAGE 1675 GMT - Complete Overhaul Video - cool

I like this, I just wish it had more in depth detail.

Very cool - thanks for sharing. Although not overly detailed in the video I think he did a pretty honest job with reconditioning the watch. He seemed to know that care was needed for a vintage Rolex.

You should read some of the replies to that video. They made me laugh. I saw that a few weeks ago.

He did seem to do a good job.

I noted that he was wearing what appears to be a TT DJ as well... guess he is a Rolex fan.

yea thats what I was thinking, i think they edited it down some. I swear I saw him polishing the hell out of the sides the first time. Thats what got all the reactions on Youtube. He had worked it over like the guy/watchmaker who dropped a Dorrito under my datejust crystal years ago... he buffed the hell out of that poor DJ (the reason i am having LAWW fix it)... Watching it this time he mentions touching up the top of the lugs a little... something doesn't seem like it originally was.
