ABC watchwerks - amazing experiance

hi there guys , my name is david i am a new member to this community
i would like to share an amazing experience i had with a very skillful person
i guess you all know him already but for me its always a pleasure to come across people like him .

BUT FIRST ( AS I REALIZED FROM READING HERE FOR A LIL WHILE ) LET ME PUT SOME PICTURES UP

so three weeks ago i purchased this little guy here
DAY DATE 1803 florentine finish


as you can see in the pictures its pretty banged up and scratched


the case back looks like it was hammered to look like an old knight's shield


the case in total was bruised very badly
so i looked up the internet and found a very similar project here on this forum that DALTON - ABC WATCHWERKS did and so i called for help
here are the resaults :

Is this like "Dancing With The Stars" where the results aren't shown until tomorrow night?

Looks like Dalton's gone buck wild with the polishing for it to have disappeared like that.

That cross-hatching on the case top looks like it was done on purpose! And I thought "bark" was a travesty...

You know, judging from the after pictures I don't see any scratches or dings at all. Amazing work!
