Restoration of a $7000 Rolex Datejust - Rare Vintage Rolex Logo-Dial - Rusty Caliber 3135

Video Description

This time I´m restoring a vintage Rolex Datejust from 1991. It´s powered by the famous Rolex 3135 automatic-movement and it has one of those rare Rolex-Logo-Dials. Watches with those dials are hard to find and prices reach easily 7000$ or more. Unfortunately water had entered the watch in the past. The movement is rusty and not working, the glass is broken, the crown snapped off, the hands and the dial are dirty and the case and bracelet are over and over with scratches. I need to clean everything up, polish and re-brush the case-parts. Some parts are beyond repair so I need to replace the glass, crown, crown-tube and some other movement-parts. After everything is cleaned and polished, I can re-assemble the movement with some fresh oil. After that, this watch is in a fantastic beat (+0 seconds per day) again. I hope you liked this restoration, if so, like, comment and subscribe ;) Subscribe to my channel: https://www.youtube.com/c/RedDeadRestoration?sub_confirmation=1 Music: "Walk with me" by @TrackTribe Link to the Song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PPaaqB0PZgQ Thanks to all my patrons and subscribers!
