My Watchmaker called...................

After almost a year [for many reasons] I got the call that parts have been replaced and repairs are done.
Looks like I'll have to update my Monday wrist shot.

WooHoo! Can't wait to see it Dan. Waiting just kills me, but in the end it's worth it.

WOO HOO!!!! My 1970 7020/0 Tudor JUMBO Date + Day is back! It was hard finding the necessary parts but friends on The Vintage Rolex forum helped source them.
I've got a period correct folded link Rolex Oyster bracelet but love the jubilee on this DD.
I'm stoked, chuffed [to my British mates], thrilled to have this back on my wrist and finally have all the boys together.

Sweet!

That is a handsome and hard-to-get watch. A blue 7020 came up for sale on TZ about a year ago. I emailed the seller within a couple of hours but it was already too late.

And great work to the watch community, for finding some vintage parts.

Thanks, gents!
Been so long it's like adding a new [or old] watch to the collection.
Have to get some updated group shots soon.
