It turned out great Phillip, I understand the owners motivations but I would have had you replace the insert and I'd wear it - had my dads 1665 MKII you repaired on today, you do amazing work my friend.

I appreciate the kind words, AJ! Actually, after all the work had been performed, he is now highly considering purchasing the new bezel.

That would be a great choice, I would t hesitate if I were in his shoes, that watch is way to cool to not wear and he can always keep the old insert in the box for historical reasons.

Going through the entire set of images is a strange kind of relieving therapy. Thank you for sharing it and all the amazing work you always do.
