This Rolex was burned in a house fire in 2010. It is a Rolex 16013 with a fluted gold bezel.
The case is covered in deep scratches, the glass is burnt but the movement is still running, well more or less at least.
I hope you liked this restoration, if so, like, comment and subscribe ;)

It was the coolest DJ I had ever seen all weathered and beaten up like that, and it would have made a great conversation piece. But I guess it would not have been a restoration then. Masterful work. Well done. I always enjoy your videos. Thank you!
