    Many thanks for this. I have a love/hate relationship with my Ebel Classic Wave watch. It is a beautiful watch, but I have been unable to find anyone local to replace the battery. I find it annoying to be expected to pay Movado Group $90 plus postage to replace the battery. After watching your video, I was able to open my watch and just ordered a pack of 3 Renata 321 batteries from Amazon for a total of $4.42. Amazon will deliver them on Friday.

    • @watchesandjewelry
      @watchesandjewelry 22 дні тому

      Hey. Thanks for the appreciation. So. How do you know if you have a genuine or an aftermarket part? It depends on who and where you buy from. Newer Rolex models have laser etched crystals. However, the fakes can also be etched. Buy from a reputable seller or supplier. I will say that for older watches, aftermarket crystals are as good as genuine. Just make sure the gaskets are good and have them pressure tested.

I have a Rolex date 15200 and my glass had a minor scratch, it is my understanding that a sapphire can’t be fixed or polished… I took it to a watchmaker who services high end watches like Rolex and omega. He told me he bought inventory a couple of years ago. My watch’s year is 2002. I am just trying to understand how to identify if a sapphire was made by Rolex or an aftermarket.

Once disassembled and inspected reassembled and properly lubricated they may be close to the Swiss movement but do you have the expertise as a novice to do that?

As a vintage Accutron (and other watches) collector I come across many of these expanding type bands, and while I usually prefer a fold over clasp bracelet or a nice leather strap, I've come to appreciate them. I have them on a small number of pieces, and always need to size them. Your instructions have allowed me to be able to do so. I've probably successfully sized four or five now, and while they can be a little tricky I've always succeeded. It gets easier with each one. Thank you again, well done 👍🏼🍻
