I would change the container to a thick walled brass one to start with. Looking at you screw pictures they don’t look shiny enough, really it’s best to do a black polish on them before trying. Also make sure once polished they are scrupulously clean, I dunk my experiments in acetone before bluing. i think the thin walled stainless container to leach away the heat from the shavings, most successful bluing videos for example use thick walled brass to hold a good deep amount of shavings which acts as a better holder of heat.

…I guess my friend’s dad was duped…and by a Rolex dealer… …well, it’s a good fake 🤪 even the box and palers looks legit… -
I believe what were talking about here is missing or lack of documentation and what is taught in schools still not quite sure how they compare? So let's explain the similarities. So yes technical documentation versus the schools can explain how to lubricate what lubrication's etc. So yes basically that would be the same or could be the same and how to clean and lubricate the watch. As were discussing 3135 I needed to do a little bit of research. It appears to be it came into existence in 1988 was manufactured for 34 years and came to an end in 2022. Interesting problem would be watch manufactured over 34 years with a change the servicing procedure, perhaps discover it was not perfect upgrade or change components, discovered that there watchmakers perhaps didn't understand things and give you helpful suggestions wonderful Rolex would do any of that stuff? Then if they did and they did have upgrade components how would we know? This is where supplemental documentation would be nice if we could get it because basically putting a paper bag over your head and saying I can't see the problem that means it doesn't exist may not always work for all watches. Who knows maybe even this watch is broken because somebody didn't read the service manual As they didn't have it and didn't do things the way they were supposed to or maybe there was an update that wasn't done. Oh and @VWatchie Nice pictures as usual I would like to make a request can you get me a picture of the backside of the dial of this watch? -
You are absolutely right! Do not risk too much! You could heat the gear up and melt a plastic lever on. Might be better than any 3D-printed tool. -
