Rolex

Then it was time for the annual cleaning. The watch is from 1968. I got it in 2006 so I've had it daily at work for 20 years. It gets a lot of use in my auto repair shop, welding, grinding and using an air impact wrench daily. Last year I got it serviced ...  

And very therapeutic. That is an astonishing amount of dirt in one year!

Always amazes me to see the transformation of this watch, never gets old.

I don’t know you, and you’re on the other side of the world from me and, yet, I find myself thinking from time to time, “I wonder if Jocke’s ever gonna clean that damn Datejust!” Cheers, man. 👊😎🍻

May I ask - did you clean this watch yourself or are these photos from your watch repair place?

Thank you for sharing.

A testimony to the ruggedness of the Rolex models plus the skills to maintain! Thanks!
