Is it good to handle a movement this way?

In this video the guy handles the movement with his finger without cloth gloves.

Maybe the Rolex watch is just demo watch to show and compare to the fake?? I figured the oils from the fingers would corrode the movement parts…
See at 5:30 or 6:30 into vid..

You would never touch a movement like that after you have cleaned it. And you avoid touching it at all, as like you said oils from your fingers can corrode plating on the movement.

Guy seemed kind of rough with the watch also.

yes he did seem rough. Don't think I want him working on mine.

The way he almost "throws" the watch on the metal contraption to unscrew the back makes me cringed! Surely there'll be more scratches coming out then when going in!
