Servicing my Rolex Explorer - NOT BY ROLEX

This video is sponsored by https://davidcarpenterwatches.com http://instagram.com/davidcarpenterwatches Hi Guys, My Rolex Explorer felt odd when I was winding it, so I thought it was best to get it serviced. I know a couple of watchmakers so I decided to go down the route of using an independent watchmaker to service my Rolex rather than going to Rolex themselves. The problem with getting watches serviced by the manufacturer, Omega, Rolex, Tag Heuer, Tudor etc, is that they tend to return the watch to factory standard - like new. For a newer watch, this can be great, but for old vintage watches, this could ruin it. My Rolex Explorer 14270 is from 1998 and I wanted to keep the aged parts. Here is what I found out when getting my watch serviced.
