Join master watchmaker, Wilson Masache of Grand Central Watch, as he takes a fire-damaged Rolex Explorer II and brings it back to life. This vintage Rolex’s 3185 movement had completely seized as a result of an apartment fire, but here Masache goes through each of the meticulous steps required to fully restore this Rolex watch. Grand Central Watch is a three-generational business that was started in 1952 by Max Kivel.
