Yeah, I usually remove from setting position but, sometimes when I’ve re installed I’ve had trouble getting the stem to lock back in correctly. I recently had a comment saying it’s better to remove from winding position so next time I’ll try removing from the winding position to see how it goes.
For this job I just buffed it out with a soft fluffy wheel and the yellow lightest polishing compound for steel. Was very light polish just to brighten it up.
You can dull the blade down by polishing it if it’s too sharp but, once you get it started with the razor blade you will need a case knife and if the bezel is really tight you’ll have to get a bezel remover and use all three
@@Timesradical thanks, I already have a case knife, the razor blade is nice way to start and make more space for case knife. I enjoy your videos keep it going 👍
I have a Daytona already aged more than 15 years with me. Usually it worked just fine with water but today I noticed that there are some condensation inside the crystal after washing my hands. What could be the cause of this issue ? Hope you would reply my comment. Regards
Maybe the gaskets inside the pushers are getting old. As long as the crown was screwed down I don’t think the water could get inside from the crown. But, yeah probably a gasket issue after 15 years. The rubber gaskets get hard and brittle
The internals on these chronographs are really something else. Watchmaking always looked very challenging to me, but working on something like this looks extremely difficult. How much more difficult is working on something like this than say a Datejust where you are just dealing with the date complication.
A little more anxiety inducing work on a chronograph especially the older ones. Definitely don’t want to drop any parts, need to put everything back in the right order and place also the screws are very different from one another. Just more things to keep track of basically. Takes longer definitely. That’s part of the reason I decided to make the video. it was already going to take a longer time to finish the job so, might as well put a little more effort and make something else out of the whole experience.
I’m not exactly sure what etched logo or where the logo is your referring too? You’re probably correct on the dates thought. I’m terrible with the Rolexes timeline for models and reference numbers. I’m curious as well.
On severely rusted movements where only the main plate, bridges and hopefully balance complete can be saved I fill a rinse dish with WD-40 and leave the movement in there for a month or three months just to be able to remove the screws and disassemble the movement. Then, rinse and preclean the movement. Any rust left behind I use alcohol and peg wood or a nylon brush very carefully. If the watch is not majorly rusted and it’s just a few specific parts I’ll use peg wood and polishing rouges/paste to clean it up but sometimes once it’s all clean we find that the parts are beyond repair. If it’s a broken rusty screw that can’t be removed try to dissolve it in with Alum or Hoppe’s No. 9 solvent. But only for a few minutes watching closely because these are very strong and can damage other parts of the watch.
@@Timesradical Thanks for answering!! there is rust that is more used on platinum and I saw videos here on UA-cam where I saw this nylon brush but some videos showing a white paste that associated with the nylon brush removed the rust. I asked but they didn't answer me unfortunately. On another channel the person replied that he was using vinegar. I found it a bit strange as it could attack the watch's platinum. I did some tests and removed yes but I was wanting to go deeper and be able to deliver better work to the client. Here in Brazil it's kind of complicated and if I have something then some things I have to bring from abroad and if you can help me with some doubts I'll be very grateful!! Thank you very much
@@Timesradical When water comes in and the customer takes a long time to bring the platinum and wheels begin to create hardware. In some cases the washing comes out more, in others you need some liquid or pasty product that you rub with a fiberglass brush to better remove the rust. Do you use anything to take it off? Any product?
Keep going bro so excited to see your new uploads ASAP
Thank you for the compliment
@@Timesradical it is my pleasure bro
Fantastic Job. Real professional with a lot of experience! 👍🏼
Wow 🤩 thanks for the recognition! Started working on watches in 2008
Thanks for the video. I got some nice tips and enjoyed the pace. I didn't really think about the noise until I read the comments. :-)
Question for you, On the 4130 you remove the crown in the winding position? Seems like everyone says something different.
Yeah, I usually remove from setting position but, sometimes when I’ve re installed I’ve had trouble getting the stem to lock back in correctly. I recently had a comment saying it’s better to remove from winding position so next time I’ll try removing from the winding position to see how it goes.
What size tool did you use to open the back? everything I try is to big or to small
You had amazing talent of making like this as a watchmaker expert thanks sir.
Thanks for the compliment
This is awesome!
Thank you!!
This guys amazing! Went and bought a Rolex today because of him
Service always
My watch always stop after oneday.. what a problem??
Hard to know exactly
Same mine, that why i buy winder box..
Hello, I’m very curious of how you polished the bezel
For this job I just buffed it out with a soft fluffy wheel and the yellow lightest polishing compound for steel. Was very light polish just to brighten it up.
Can you share the link of one sided blade for removing the bezel? Thanks

@@Timesradical thanks, but I was thinking about razor blade one you used on this video 🙂
@@BokiPetrovic88 just a regular old razor blade

@@Timesradical ok thanks for the opinion. Already sent it to service center today and need to wait for couple days 😉
Hello sir, how much would it be for a complete service like this one on this exact movement?
Rough estimate is between $900.00 - $1,300.00
Thank you!
Hello sir., how do I check? My Rolex original or not??
Please help me.. my watch removed one of its pushers, how can i fix it back?
You have to find the pusher first
Fascinating video
Great video, many thanks.
I assume taking out the movement of a 16500 is pretty much the same. Would yoh agree?
I concur 👍🏼
pitting on the dial is NOT pertina... corrosion from moisture
What a great review !

I wish Rolex would sell Crystal case back
I thought the etched logo wasn't done until 2001 and 16520 is without the etched logo?? Am I wrong?

@@Timesradical The etched logo on the crystal is at 6 location. Rolex started this in 2001.
Stunning job..👍👍
That is one of the best replicas I have ever seen!! Haha! Just kidding. Great watch!
Wow, thanks!
Good Morning!! any tips on how to remove rust when water enters the watch?

@@leorelo0511 definitely strange that the platinum would have rust.

other watches: dial deterioration.... rolex: dial patina
Exactly lol 😂
Nice job, where is your location?
Bay Area California
Who to shop watching
Hello brother how much is this for watch?
I think a watch like this now cost $32,000.00 USD (more or less) depending on condition
Hey i think i might have went to watch school with you in 2011. It's Scott. I rode with Joe.
Sure did!
Zenith Daytona!!!
My favorite Chrono
Great video! I would have changed the crystal. That damage @11 would drive me nuts 😅
Same here. I feel like with servicing a Daytona a fresh crystal would have really pulled it all together.
Rupees in dollars
One million
