Rolex Air King Calibre 1530
So many watches since the last post its hard to know where to start, so lets start with a Rolex :)

These older models are always a favourite, simple, reliable, and high quality throughout. The movement is the classic 1530 calibre, automatic  with no date or complications, so lets take a look at the movement >

We start off by uncasing the movement and removing the hands, from there we can strip down the movement and check for any wear or damage >

With the hands off we can set about removing the dial and stripping back the dial side parts ( except winding parts ). We must make sure once the automatic bridge is removed to power down the movement, movements under tension when stripping down is not what you want >
​

With the movement stripped down and cleaned the mainspring was changed for a new one and the whole movement re assembled and lubricated. Timing as to be expected is excellent, very rarely do Rolex watches develop issues more commonly found on lesser Swiss watches, not to say other brands don't make exceptional pieces but Rolex do have that edge. The casing on this watch is kept original , warts n all , the bracelet was given a very light hand brush to bring back some of the brightness, the glass lightly re polished and shes ready to go back.
