I purchased this old Rolex Oyster with a caliber 3135 movement from eBay, I found a few problems - but the watch could have ended up being totally destroyed if I hadn't noticed a big issue when setting the time.

I’m just amazed how you remember where every part goes after disassembly

@veganbutcherhackepeter 4 years ago

I could definitely disassemble these watches with deadly precision, but there's a snowball's chance in hell that I would ever manage to reassemble them. 😁

I love your use of showing us the most important items in great detail, extremely nice camera work. Also the voice over approach to point out important things. Very informative to anyone at any level. Great job once again! Thank you, Mark for your time investment and superb craftsmanship.

I didn’t realize how much I missed your content until you came back!

Does anyone else find this remarkably soothing? Artist working with art in a very small scale.

I just got hired by Rolex, part of this watch was my bench test. I can't wait to start my training.

You have always been an inspiration for the watch repair enthusiasts and collectors. Wonderful videos

I imagine one good sneeze. While working with small parts would be enough to ruin the day

It's the first time I have come across your channel Mark. This really is a good tutorial with excellent camera work and commentary on every detail. You have really done an awesome job in restoration of this Rolex Oyster. 👏

Welcome back. I have enjoyed catching up on your videos

@RobSchofield 4 years ago

A new, instructive narration style and slick editing - excellent!

"Recently" is such a relative term... especially on eBay.

A truely beautiful watch rescued from potential disaster. I do love watching how you work on movements, i learn something new every time. And if anyone is wondering about Mark's online classes they are the best classes for a beginner that I've found. They are thorough, easy to follow, and great value. They also have excellent production value, which really helps! I have taken them all but the chronograph course which i just bought. I can't wait for the in depth class on automatics!
Btw, I am not affiliated with Mark, his channel, or his web site. I'm just a very happy customer.

You seem to be back for good! Your chanel is so relaxing and fascinating. Keep it up, please :-) !

It is so good to see a new restoration video from you Mark. I have been watching many of them over the last six months, but I only realized recently that you haven’t posted a new one in quite a while. I was afraid you had retired.
