Just arrived back from Mr Ridley. Outstanding job. Obviously these are my pictures and not his. A photographer I am not. This once was my daily wear but now it looks too nice I think. Every one have a safe Labor Day.

Kingair · 1 September 2012, 08:56 AM

Another one who ruins our weekends . . . .

Love it

Congrats ;-)

Very nice to get an old friend back!

mjclark32 · 1 September 2012, 09:02 AM

Quite the beauty!

Jim M · 1 September 2012, 09:13 AM

What a beautiful looking survivor. Excellent, congratulations, enjoy that beauty!

A truly wonderful watch, Congrats .

Bomilcar · 1 September 2012, 10:02 AM

Thank you Gentlemen. I will post his pictures when I get them. This is the second watch he has done for me the first being a Red Sub. He now has my old orange hand explorer. Each time I get one back it is like getting a new watch. He really does wonderful work.

On another topic does any one know where to source a white face for a 2 year old TOG with out having to trade in the current blue face?

Thanks
Steve

Pete17 · 1 September 2012, 10:56 AM

Nice job by Mr Ridley once again.

Did he relume the markers for you?

Wear it and enjoy it mate. No good keeping a DRSD locked up.

Bomilcar · 1 September 2012, 11:10 AM

Now that you ask, that is a very good question. To be sure I will need to wait until I get his invoice to be sure. He forgot to take pictures and failed to include an invoice before he sent it back. I hope to get some pictures taken after the orange hand is completed.

The more I look at it the more I do not think that he did. My memory is not so good but I do not remember talking with him about the lume. I should get the invoice from Barbara any day so I will get back to you.

Pete17 · 1 September 2012, 11:11 AM

Cheers mate. Might be just the pics but the lume looks a little raised. Might be just a trick of the light.

Bomilcar · 1 September 2012, 11:16 AM

Damn you have good young eyes. I put a loop on it and they do look raised. Different numbers at different heights. The hands are obviously not original, they were changed a number of years ago to allow me to use the watch at night. I will let it sit out for a day and see what it looks like in the dark.
Take care
Steve

Pete17 · 1 September 2012, 11:29 AM

LOL my eyes are fading fast mate. Recently turned 44 and a trip to the eye doctor is on the cards this year.

Bomilcar · 1 September 2012, 12:10 PM

44, Hell I do not even remember 44. It is dark here now and there is no new lume on it. Still just the hands and the dot show up. O well, I bet that saved me a few dollars. My wife is pushing me to wear it and if I do not I think she will put it on herself. She wears a green sub now. She sold a SD to get it and regrets it now I think.
Thanks for taking the time to converse.
Take care
Steve

cedargrove · 1 September 2012, 01:10 PM

Very nice. Congrats.

mrarchiegoodwin · 1 September 2012, 04:10 PM

Ah, that Talented Mr. Ridley strikes again.

Beautiful watch. It really does look new. If he can restore a watch to that condition then it encourages one to wear it and to wear it as it was created to be worn--for the sport of it. Hmmm, about the Deutschmarks table cloth...might that be surplus from Mrs. Merkel's coffers.

Wear your DRSD in rudely robust health.

topcat30093 · 1 September 2012, 04:40 PM

I love DRSD and yours looks great.

Nice to see it looking so good after it's recent TLC session :)

Cmaster03 · 1 September 2012, 11:54 PM

What a beauty. Ridley is indeed "da man" on vintage.

Like Pete, I would wear it constantly if it were mine, perfect looking or not.

Vincent65 · 2 September 2012, 12:14 AM

That's a stunner - looks like new!

z32turbo · 2 September 2012, 12:20 AM

Looks great!!

Brushpup · 2 September 2012, 12:48 AM

Nice! Love those old single valves.

Bdevenney · 2 September 2012, 02:45 AM

Big congrats on owning that beautie! You should join the vintage group.

Silvio Mosiello · 2 September 2012, 02:54 AM

drockadam · 3 September 2012, 12:14 PM

Absolutely gorgeous! I've always wanted to see one in person! I hope that day comes soon! Enjoy it!

Sweet watch!

The only thing that seems missing is a semi faded original bezel insert.
