Jocke - Bad Santa humorously offers a 'complete service' for watches, detailing his unconventional approach to watch repair with a series of playful images. This post provides an entertaining, albeit satirical, look at the intricate process of disassembling a watch, showcasing various tools and components through a unique lens.
You can send me your watches when you need some service.
Here I will show you how it works.
I start with the universal case holder.
It´s no problem to get it open with correct tools.
The I use the crown release tool
And the tiny crown holder.
Then I pull out the movement.
The crown holder it´s a multi tool who can pull off the hands too. Unfortunately it didn´t works on chronographs.
Then I will looking for things that not will be in place until next service. I found out the logo need some new glue.
I have to do some works with the hands, the condition is bad and some minor adjustments will help.
Time to see whats up below the dial.
Nothing fancy, just the date wheel.
So I have to pull off the date wheel to get a little deeper inside the movement.
Not so many parts left here.
You have to be carful when you pull off the rotor, it´s easy to damage it.
This time i was lucky, no problems to get it off.
Now I will pull off the rotor bearing bridge.
That was easy too.
And the special halfgear that shows it´s a real Rolex.
The 3 part balance wheel.
A closer look at it.
The afro hairspring.
And all the part I will claen and give som lubricant.
Just feel free to drop me a mail or PM if you need a cheap service. Why pay $300 for a service? When I can do it for you for $500.
Jocke
