Just brought Bluesy to the doctor...

Thank god I have my other kids....Expy, coke & IIc...

Just dropped off Bluesy at the RSC in San Francisco...and I felt a little sad...so I had to go window watch shopping..

They have a WG YM II at Shreve...if anyone's looking! I was wearing my IIc over there...and got a ton of comments and compliments from every watch shop I went into.....sounds like it's still a rare bird in the City.

Just a side note... the RSC in SF...is awesome! First class service..attended directly by a watch doctor in a white coat. Great personalities...and very friendly and knowledgable....I'll wait until I pick up bluesy before I give a FIRM recommendation....

This whole Dr. visit...by the way..was brought on by one of my wrist shots months ago....you guys..the experts pointed out that the bezel insert looked fishy....and it turned out that the guy I bought it from had his old bezel swapped for an aftermarket one during a service. SO....bluesy's getting a brand spanking new insert ($70) and a full service ( she was a bit dry!! )

Will post after photos when I pick her up in mid. August!!

Steve,
They do great work there. They are also a Republican stronghold in the middle of one of the most liberal cities in the US. Hope you like them.

I had to stop taking any of mine in for service because I kept buying one to replace the one that was missing.
