Thanks! That really means a lot.

To think I initially took my watch to Bob only for an appraisal for insurance...

He took me to Vintage school, -and- made my watch gorgeous!

Beauty....I'm thinking Mr. Ridley has a secret wand once owned by some obscure Watch Warlock who must not be named....or something.

Excellent

OH Man, that is beautiful! It looks brand new. What a great job.

Unfortunately an AD here in Australia destroyed my red dial and when Rolex fixed the damage they replaced the red dial with a white one. That was more than 20 years ago and I still miss the red writing.
