Fresh back from Spa Duarte!

Post by Bradystraps » Tue Mar 12, 2019 2:10 pm

I'm absolutely over the moon for this one. I was lucky to find an example in decent nick and now that Duarte has done his magic and relumed the bezel pip, cleaned up the AR on the crystal and regulated the movement, she's all set and ready to go!

A couple Q&D wristies:

Cool watch, that lume pip looks factory.

Maybe I should have had him do the same on my tsar, my white out job doesn’t quiet look as nice :puke:

Super common on the Marathon's. We might relume one a month. We have done a few Pelagos also. It seems they have an issue also. :scratch:

nicely done Todd... just when I have you pegged as a complete lowlife, you redeem yourself...
