I agree. I recently bought a broken Rolex and asked GPT for a list of tools I should get on Amazon to work on it.

I tried using YouTube to find walk through guides for how to approach the repair as a complete n00b and only found videos for unrelated problems.

But I described my issues and took photos to GPT O3-Pro and it was able to guide me and tell me what to watch out for.

I completed the repair (very proud of myself) and even though it failed a day later (I guess I didn’t re-seat well enough) I still feel far more confident opening it and trying again than I did at the start.

Cost of broken watch + $200 pro mode << Cost of working watch.
