Just back from LAWW.

Had them brush the lug tops to match the sides while keeping the polished chamfers. As usual they did flawless work.

That looks smoke'n hot Nick. Love the brushed lugs and notice the acrylic is no longer scratched. Absolutely exceptional! :thumbsup:

Thanks guys! Good eye Rob.


I didn’t ask for the acrylic to be buffed out but I’m glad they did. They refinished the whole case without me asking actually. I just specified brushed lug tops, polished chamfers.

I guess for the amount they charge the whole case refinishing is the least they could do .

Also I sent it in mostly because the hands were no longer lining up with the indices properly. The chrono seconds would also reset just short of 0 also.

All issues fixed.

Never ceases to amaze me by their level of detail. If only Richmond service center could take a page out of their book.

Looks great nick!

This one for me again

Just moved into a job where I wear more suits than cammies and I go and get a 243 lol

I know it looks huge in the pic, but it’s surprisingly comfy

It fits under a cuff too ;)

Congrats on the new role and the 243. Is the 1.1 gone?

If you can, take a few minutes to write up a review, please. The good, the bad, etc. An emphasis on why I shouldn’t stress test my credit card for this one would be great, cuz right now I’m wanting one bad.
If you put a large switch in some cave somewhere, with a sign on it saying 'End-of-the-World Switch. PLEASE DO NOT TOUCH', the paint wouldn't even have time to dry.
