re: OT watch experts - is this a real Rolex?

Not a watch expert but I've worked with micro aerospace components and that was a shite restoration. File on the face wasn't needed. Scotch Brite pads would of been better and slamming metal tweezers against the components is a no no.

I couldn't get past those long arse finger nails either.

I wanna side with not real or not worth a shite after. He would completely tighten a component with out the other screw in, another no no
