My Sea Dweller Back From ABC Watchwerks
I just got my SD back from ABC WachWerks and had I not known better I would think that it was a new watch they sent back. My watch was in good condition but the chamfers were rounded and the side of the case was a little distorted from a previously polish. The chamfers are so sharp I need to be careful not to cut myself and the case is so smooth I can see the reflection of someone across the room. If you need/want your watch to look new again you need to send it to Dalton at ABC WatchWerks he is an artist!

Wow Ace, I have to say that those case edges look better than new. I'd be afraid to wear it! Nice job!

Another shout out for Dalton @ ABC Watchwerks.
He did a great job with changing out a bezel on an Omega, as well as making a Cartier look factory fresh (better job than what Cartier did last time, in fact!). |

WOW! Money well spent! It looks BRAND NEW! (Just curious...is RSC able to do the same type of work that you requested ABC do on the SD?...if so, I'm assuming ABC's pricing for their service is more competitive than RSC?)

You would have to get a quote on pricing from ABC. Each watch is different. RSC is a hit or miss but usually they buff out the chamfers. RSC does do a good job but ABC is the best I have seen.

Ace, as I posted above those chamfers are stunning. I assume that they have some type of jig to do this? I can't imagine someone doing that free hand. Once again, amazing job!
