DJ back from being serviced

Got my DJ back from being serviced today and it looks fantastic!

It hadn't been serviced for 16 years and although it was still running perfectly, cosmetically it was in need of some attention.

The biggest difference is in the Jubilee bracelet, which once again has the centre links sparkling away!

Very happy!

Nice--welcome back! My wife has her two watches waiting as AD for her when we get back home to Pittsburgh--she has been watchless for a bit. Can't wait to see how they look. Yours looks great!!

I have the same dial. Your service came out great. Who did it and what was the cost?

Hi Peter,

I took it to the AD where I bought my GMTIIC and it was sent away to be serviced, although I don't know exactly where to. It cost £260.00.

Nothing needed replaced apart from the obvious, even after 16 years, so money well spent in my opinion.

Good

Looks nice again.

The 260 pounds is also a good price.

Wear it in health.
