I made some pictures for one of my TRF customers today, and wanted to share this one with you guys. The customer replied it was a painful picture! Lol
What do you think?

I fix people for a living. Your job is so much cleaner. Hehehe. I love watching your video of a watch service. I like mechanical things. I fixed a forehead laceration tonight on a four year old with glue and steri strips. Hoping it is better than a plastic surgery consult. I got the laceration all squeezed together and glued with steri strips for extra tension to keep it all together so it heals pretty. I'm pretty OCD.

Vanessa... isn't that the watch I sent you for..... an estimate?

I steri stripped my son's chin not too long ago! My nurse friend couldn't believe how well it healed without stitches! I would avoid the parts where they scream! I can't stand hearing kids cry. Other than that, I'm okay with blood!

I'm no watchmaker but that definitely looks like an "after" picture. After the jacuzzi, not the full service obviously.

I'm guessing the reason there's no date wheel in the pic is because it doesn't go in the bath?

They come back from you like new inside and out, Vanessa!

You are correct! This is what came out of the cleaning basket. The dial, hands, date indicator, and mainspring are all left out! ��
Here's a picture of the watch before I started the service :

Thanks. No, I wish. I don't have the equipment to make and edit videos. That one I made, was done by a customer!
