My Daytona is new all over again!

Or, at least it seems that way!

I picked up my SS Daytona on Friday after its overhaul at RSC Tokyo. I think they did a great job! Here are a couple of photos.

But first, the cherry blossoms are almost in full bloom!

RSC is numero UNO when it comes to refinishing the case and the bracelet, not to mention the overall service.

I love the pics, thanks for sharing Otto.

P.S: How they do that with bezel? All I know it's hard to polishing the Daytona bezel...

Nice SS.

It has the inhouse movement and if it was due for a service I'd guess it is a 'P'.

Close but no cigar.
