Hi All, After 5 years in this wonderful hobby I am about to service my first Rolex. It's a 3135 movement (36mm Datejust approx. 1990) belonging to a friend, a very trusting friend. I am slightly concerned that my cleaning fluid might eat the gold lettering on the movement bridges. Fluid is L + R Ammoniated and does a great job of cleaning. I usually do 5 minutes at 50 degrees in the ultrasonic followed by 2 x 5 minute rinse in the L + R rinse fluid. Does anyone have experience here and know if it is safe to go ahead? Thanks, Steve -
Hello everyone, I'm new to the forum and am excited to learn as much as possible from you all as I embark on this new love of mine - working with watches! Looking forward to meeting you all. Mike -
ChatGPT and others use search engines just like we do. I can peek under the hood of what happened in my case: ChatGPT searched for "Rolex 3135 blued screw clone" and this thread is the 4th result in Google at the moment. In a couple years we might get a different response. Search engines definitely do prioritize recent content. This is very good advice. AI models are very useful for wading through and organizing vast amounts of information, but tend to "wing it" when information is scarce. "I don't know" isn't really in their vocabulary. I'm sure that'll improve with newer models though. -
…that happens to me quite often on a variety of topics. I think the AI bots tend to prioritize recent contributions… -
No - I used a small hotel individual jam jar and put some water in and then kept adding alum till I couldn't get more to dissolve - then when I heated it up (by putting it in a warmer bath) the remaining crystal or 2 that didn't dissolve at room temperature went into solution.
