$2,700 Rolex from eBay - Restoration 1960s Broken Vintage Air King Date - Rolex 1535 Caliber

This time I´m restoring a Rolex Air King Date from the 1960s. I´ve bought this watch from eBay for $2,700. It´s powered by the Rolex 1535 Caliber. The watch is in a really bad condition. The case is severely damaged, the glass is scratched, the crown-stem and the balance-staff are broken, the index of the dial fell off and the movement doesn´t work at all. After polishing the case, the bracelet and the glass I need to re-brush the bracelet and the clasp. The movement gets a complete service and I´m replacing the broken parts. After everything is cleaned, polished and re-brushed, 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: Music: “Pray“ by @AnnoDominiBeats Link to the Song: Thanks to all my patrons and subscribers!
