Jeweller's on Time? Weren't they at one time paying ArchieLuxury to advertise on his Youtube channel?

I, too, would love to see more pics once you receive it. I don't think Vanessa's pics are doing the polish job any favors. The brushed parts look too shiny for my taste. Hopefully, just a quirk of her pics.

Vanessa serviced my sub and did a polish job on it and when I received it, I couldnt tell the difference between their polishing technique and a factory polish. I think its just the photos IMHO

I'm glad I'm not alone. All the pics look like that, it doesn't look like the factory finish.

I don’t think anyone is hating an anyone- at least I hope not. I just wondered about how the final polish on the brushed stainless looked as the pics looked a little “off”. I’m eager to see updated pics, as Vanessa’s reputation is sterling and I’m about to send her my GMT II.

My pics looks the same when I was a kid, that is why I know Vanessa have done a great work with the watch.

Unfortunately not with the camera.

I have only positives for Vanessa and Jewelers on time. She did some work on my Sub a few years ago (modifications), with no issues.

I also had some work done (installed CWC Clear caseback and pressure test) on my BLNR with one of the other jewelers at Jewelers on time (Vanessa wasn't available when I was able to drop it off for the work done on site). Great work and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them.

Vanessa is a technician, and a fantastic one at that. She doesn't do the polishing.

If this is true, then herein may lie the rub. More likely just a trick of the pics.

Edit: Based on this excellent post by Vanessa, it would appear she does perform her own polishing and refinishing work. That's how rumors get started, Mailman!
