As a master watchmaker I have cleaned and oiled several of the Patek Philippe 5159G's and its nice to see one in white 18k gold.
Fantastic movements with a fit and finish second to none except maybe Audemars Piguet and Parmagiani.
I've owned many high grades but sold them to buy bitcoin. Now I wear an old Seiko.
Unreal to meat a watchmaker on Nostr who has worked on a 5159 🤯
I service six watches at a time and often there is a half million dollars of them in pieces on my bench. 🤑
I pivoted my event, photography to product photography over Covid and became a watch dealer after scoring a few successful hauls from estate sales.
I remember printing discounted third-party FedEx labels to ensure 10 to 20 Watches at a time when I shipped them to my Watchmaker in Colorado.
He used to charge 60 bucks to clean and reassemble a movement, or a few hundred if it’s more complicated than time and date.
When we did video calls, I was amazed at his workbench 🤯
