Restoration of a Rolex Watch - Seriously Water Damaged

This Water Damaged Rolex came to me for restoration with multiple internal issues. The aim was to get the watch working again with acceptable performance whilst replacing as few parts as possible. This being the case you will see quite a lot of formerly rusty, cleaned up components going back into the watch. I was interested to see if I could make the watch at least run with the original escape wheel albeit cleaning up. I did also try with the original pallet fork but these are notoriously tricky to clean so I was not too hopeful of success. Anyway this was a tough restoration job on a badly water damaged but potentially attractive Rolex watch. Watch it to find out how I got on and please share this with your friends if you like.
