Can you ask why did he do it, and also where did he take to be done? (Not the name of the business, but rather what type of person would offer this as a paid for service?)

It seems that

It was not a Rolex trained watchmaker who did the job.

Perhaps he was a vintage Rolex collector

Many of them looks like a bar of soap.

Just...no.
