Finally long awaited

I sent my 18238 in for service in early January and I just picked it couldn't be happier decided to swap out the old dial ( champagne) for a new crisp white. Also opted for new hands and springbars. The lugs look a bit over polished but hey what can you do right? Let me know your thoughts on the overall look. Pics below

Although a champagne dial is classic, that white dial downright pops and provides some nice contrast Good call
