This $25,000 Rolex Explorer Was Exposed to Seawater!

Jun 11, 2022

Wristwatch Revival

After Marshall made an appearance on a local news show (link below if you want to watch it!), he was contacted by a local woman with an amazing Rolex Explorer from the 60's that was left to her by her father. Unfortunately the watch got seawater in it on a day at the beach and had stopped running. After the local Rolex dealer, and even Rolex itself declined to work on the watch, Marshall undertakes his most challenging restoration yet to try to get it back on her wrist!
