3135 Assembly Video

[RobbieG]

You guys may all have seen this I don't know. I never did so I thought I would share it. Makes me remember two things:

1.Why I have such respect for watchmaking and watchmakers

2.Why I never became one. lol

That's amazing. I mean the hand skills that some people have.

If I tried something even remotely like that with my big clumsy hands it would be a disaster.

Yeah, no doubt. Gives you more of a sense of the finish level on Rolex movements throughout that I mentioned being pleasantly surprised with in that Patek thread. Even though I have owned several of them over the years I guess I always thought of them being decorated about equal that that of say, an ETA decorated by Breitling or Omega. Not even REMOTELY the case. Rolex movements are finished a whole big step up from there. Like I said, as clean as anything really.

I share your sentiment on the 3185 being special and all, but it is nice to know that such a strong "tool" movement is finished as well as most haute complications from the "snob" brands...
