My New 1675 GMT, Part 2

[kelly56]

Just got my recently purchased 1675 back from my watchmaker. It was gaining 30 seconds per day when I got it - after servicing and regulating it is now operating at + 1.5 seconds per day (not bad for a 31 y.o. watch). Watch has original crystal, dial, hands, bracelet and bezel according to my watchmaker. The previous owner replaced the bracelet with a jubilee, but it was badly stretched. Luckily he kept the oyster bracelet which polished up nicely. I came to the conclusion after speaking with several people, including Bob Ridley, that sending to a RSC may not be the best idea. I was able to find a local watchmaker who works for some of the local AD's at a very good price. I'm very pleased with the purchase and how everything turned out.
