There is a very fine line between this "hobby" and "mental illness."
Look on the wife's face when VISA bill arrived, Priceless!!!! -
need a macro shot to see the surface finish properly.
oiled is another questioon, u cant tell from pics.
and was it oiled correctly is another question.
for running fucntion, u need to put the watch on a witschi machine to see the rate deviation, amplitude and beat error in order to accurately guage the function.
hope this helps -
Look clean because the lighting of the photo is good, but can't really tell that it is physically oil and clean.

hey Bros, thanks for the answers. btw when u mentioned that the watch is oiled... what does it mean? every parts are oiled with a thin film of oil? or only certain parts. Any pics or illustration of an oiled Rolex movement in any of the website that shows this?
tks.

usually for a watch. you need to oil the jewels and pivots only. you dont any-o-how whack oil all over the place.
with movements the oiling is very specific. certain kinds of oil for certain places only.
an example is here for a oiling chart for IWC. i dont have rolex, but its very similar.
the oils used industry wide are made by Mobeius. and there are different types for different applications. up to 5-10 different types may be used in the construction of a watch.

Uh, unless the automatic mechanism has been removed, I dont think that is a Rolex movement. The caseback appears to house the automatic rotor, but there is no rotor viable.
I dont have any images, but the beginning of this video shows a 1570 that appears similar: http://www.minus4plus6.com/ringtones...ssemblyPT3.wmv
Looks clean though....

From just pics you cannot tell if it's clean and oiled. But seriously...it's not that important la..and oiling cannot be done by a normal person
