Back where she belongs
After spending some time with Mr. Ridley my 1655 is better than ever and back on the wrist. The gaping hole in this travel case can now be filled appropriately. HAGWE!

Awesome!
Fantastic 1655 "post spa treatment"... how did it look "pre-spa visit?" BTW, as others have mentioned, your watch case is very nice but it's contents... WOW!

Thanks
Thanks for all the kind words. This has been a good year for me in acquiring a few nice pieces after patiently sitting on the sidelines for so long. I definitely owe the knowledge I've gained to many of the members on this forum and can't thank you guys enough. The great thing about Vintage Pieces is that you never know when they'll come available and when they do I am like a kid on Christmas morning. I keep telling my wife that "This one may not come up again in this condition for a few years and that these can't be bought at some local AD" Lack of supply is the best alibi
