Thank you
Beautiful attention to detail. Excellent rebuild.

Excellent work. I really enjoyed this service. Thank you for all you do, I hope you are feeling better and yes, I was wondering about the RB as well and found info on Rolex Bienne. Thank you from Arizona.
Thank you so much for the comment
great job sir, I think but don't know for sure the letters are date codes or batch numbers I know this is the case for some makers but not sure about Rolex but there for a reason.
Andy UK.

Nice job! I really enjoy these videos.
Glad you enjoyed it

Glad you enjoyed it
elle rend plutot bien la patine de ta black bay
d'ailleur j'ai cru comprendre que tu étais très fan des Tudor. Je suis horloger chez Kenissi (la manuf qui fabrique les calibres pour Tudor) Si tu as des questions hésite pas !
Oui je l'aime beaucoup comme ça
Merci beaucoup. Oui j'adore les Tudor. J'en ai quelques une. Top j'hésiterai pas
I have a newer version of this watch in my collection time keeping is about -1sd, it is a cool watch.
Nice one indeed
What a treat: two of your excellent videos in such a short time! Thank you very much: 👌👍👏! And while I am not a Rolex fan at all, they at least have kept some standard when it comes to watch-making (unlike TAGHeuer, IWC or Panerai -🤪🤮- to name just a few of the really bad ones).
Many thanks!
Great job. I have a great Heuer 1550sg with minor issues that needs a service. Is it possible? Thank you
Yes of course. I can contact me on my website if the link the in video description
Great video as always! What is the gray pen-like tool you use? The one lying next to the Bergeon logotype at 7:00 minutes. Do you know where to buy it?
This is an horotec probe tool. I bought it on cousin uk
I wish I could have one but I'm poor and can't have one but I'm still going to get a plastic watch 😞⌚
How was your Hibernation ;)
Interesting
L'aiguille GMT est au dessus de celle des heures ?
C'est pareil sur la GMT II ?
Oui l'aiguille est bien au dessus. Pareil sur la GMT II
Superbe, je voudrais vous confier ma Submariner pour un service, avez vous le temps? J'ai vu vos tarifs sur le site pour les automatiques, ce sont des tarifs indicatifs ou cela dépend de la marque?
Bonjour Merci beaucoup. Oui je peux faire votre submariner. Les tarifs sont indicatifs. Pour une submariner cela est autour de 350€
This is probably a dumb question, but I’ll ask it anyway. Wouldn’t plastic tools (instead of metal) be better for avoiding scratching anything? If not, why is metal used so much?
Plastic will not be strong enough. After like my brass tweezers it is soft enough
Hello, Regarding the RB mark, this auction notice, "ROLEX “White gold Prototype”, Oyster Perpetual Date, Submariner, Superlative Chronometer Officially Certified, Ref. 1680, movement no. D701771, no serial number, circa 1973", claims it stands for -- Rolex Bienne. Wikipedia says Rolex has a factory in Biel/Bienne, Switzerland. Apparently Rolex has been using the designation for quite a while; here's an old 17 jewel movement, found on the "Watch Guy Watch repair blog" which has the RB stamping. So, yeah, I really can't say the mystery is solved, but it some fun and light research on a Saturday afternoon, so time well spent. Thanks for the video.
Thank you so much for the information. It is right that when I went to Bienne there is a very big Rolex factory. Can be the reason of the code for Rolex Bienne
