The other day, I received a repair request from a senior colleague of mine who helped me the most when I lived in Tokyo.
He was the person who I met when I was 19 years old and gave me the opportunity to become interested in watches.
I can confidently say that I wouldn't be where I am today if I hadn't met this person.
Someone in your life to whom you feel particularly indebted.
We only worked together for about half a year, but
After that, he continued to consult with me on various matters.
He always helps me at important points.
From a senior with whom I have known him for over 20 years,
Request for repair of a Rolex Sea-Dweller that I don't know when I bought it (lol)
Maybe they are selling or buying,
A senior who I have never seen wearing the same watch.
I was able to make a living as a watchmaker because
Maybe it was because I was surrounded by such inspiring people.
I'm really happy that you asked me to do an overhaul.
Please help in any way you can,
It was a great opportunity to give back.
This time…
Overhaul ¥27,500
New finish ¥11,000
3rd car replacement ¥22,000
Total ¥59,500
Many Rolex 3000 series movements also have looseness.
For better or worse, it works to some extent without maintenance.
Therefore, if there is no maintenance history, the condition is very poor.
As it happened, there were no major repairs this time.
Since parts costs are rising rapidly for Rolex,
After all, regular maintenance is essential.
I have repaired it properly this time, so it can be used for a while, but
I would like to see another overhaul within the next five years.
This repair made me think that I need to work harder than ever so that I can continue to receive requests for repairs.
I'm sure my seniors will be happy with this,
It was an encouraging request for me as well.
