    In 1950, the Rolex Oister perpetual did not have that white plastic ring around the mechanism, and it did not have that window in the dial at the balance wheel. It was just made in a different way. It pained me to see how he handled the balance spring, how the screws in the assembly jumped all over the place, how he handled the dial with the metal pliers, how he used the hammer to fix the glasses. This is an apprentice blacksmith who teased us with a fake Rolex, possibly made in China.

    What a wonderful country, in the garbage cans you find a lot of things, gold bars, diamonds, Rolex watches, iPhones, latest generation laptops.

    There is no way that someone would throw a Rolex in a garbage dump. That's a counterfeit.

    At least !! He knew how to put it back together, and left it clean and working, it was worth the intention of a pure Rolex

    I paused this immediately and read a few comments... i didn't want to waste 25 minutes of my life! 😂

    Finding a "Rolex" among trash, what are the odds? If I didnt know better I'd say he had put it there😁

    He deserves the Nobel prize of patience.

    I am a 90 year old. In 1950 I was given an Enicar - Generic Racine? Self-winding watch which did keep better time than a regular wind up time piece. I ended up losing it at the beach. Last year for old time’s sake I bought a Baltic brand auto mechanical which also keeps surprisingly good time.

    I like how gentle he is hammering and clanking metal tools on every part of the fake Rolex. I've had enough, I can't bare to watch another second.
  • @johngaydos5688
    wow! glad someone found a Rolex! I find 7 or 8 of them a day!

    15:39 Spectacular. Why not use a grinder with a 40-grit flap disk? And then boil it for an hour in muriatic acid!!!

    Great to see a master watchmaker at work. I loved how he ‘cleaned’ the balance spring with a paintbrush, how he lumped the pallet fork with all the rusty screws, & how he dis-assembled the second hand into two distinct pieces. It was good to see how the ruined balance spring fixed itself during reassembly…
