Question to the more experienced members: What do you do when your rep arrives?

Recommended Posts

Size the bracelet, open caseback and remove the rotor (if auto), remove the stem, grease crown gasket and put back the stem, regulate the movement on the timegrapher, put back the rotor, put some oil on its bearing, grease the caseback gasket and close it.

Then check all the possible case screws.

 

Today, tired to go to the city where my watch technician friend has his shop, I purchased a pressure tester on Ali (it is a bit expensive but I can always sell it at no loss), so I will also add a water resistance test to the process :)

My wife isn't as privileged as yours. She gets to know about the watch when she sees something on the bill she doesn't recognize and ask me about it!!

You mean you let your wife dictate your purchases...not only that...you allow her to scrutinise your 'bill'.....strange behaviour indeed :blink:

Well of course, you have to lube the bracelet to remove all that gunk. :lol:

Pretty much my thoughts as well, she checks your bills? WTF?
