Just Back From Spa Ridley
Sometimes you don't realize how much you like something until it's gone.
While this was off at Mr. Ridley's, I wore some others and enjoyed them, but I could not wait to get it back. The mark of an expert I suppose is that you can barely tell that it was touched, yet the loose bits that are now returned in a small plastic pouch attest to his work. It's nice to have it back where it belongs.. on my wrist  By the way, a recent post asked what hands look like after they were sealed. The answer is that they look the same as before. The sealing is done from the back of the hands.  [IMG]  [/IMG]

Looks great...and your right. If he didn't leave any parts in a plastic pouch, you wouldn't know he had been there.

Wow! What a beautiful 1680 Red! If I had a dollar everytime I heard "Bob Ridley did a great job" I'd have a Rolex by now!

Stunning! I hear that the hands go a little darker with the sealing process. Was that the case for you? Do you have a "before" photo? Thanks for sharing. It looks great!

Congratulations really beautiful! Mr. Ridley is the best. For what concerns the sealed hands, my 16760 has received that treatment over 10 months ago and I don't see any difference.
