Stainless steel repairs Uk Part 2

Firstly a shout out of thanks to Gabriel (Swearengen) for recommending Swisstec as a Stainless steel repairer and restorer, Cheers fella

as a recap this is how my W10 looked when I bought it. the following 2 other photos are of how in now looks, I was a bit concerned that the new lume was to bold but Ive been advise that it will mellow with time to match the hands,

Swisstec went the extra mile and tided up the back of the case at no extra cost.

Interesting but, unless I'm missing something, the website doesn't list Rolex among the brands they do work on.

I forwarded photos they advised that they would be happy to help. Rgds "H"
