Hi everyone,

Bought o nice tudor day-date, 35 mm blue dial, paid only 700 USD for it, complete set, including original papers.

Not sure if this is a keeper, may sell it on future. Got it because it was cheap. but there is a catch, one of the lugs arm was overpolished, and its shorter than the oposite arm (holes not afected), the rest seems ok.

I have read about a company that may fix this, the guy name is Rocco, and its in UK. There also another company named Lewis Wtach Co in Australia.

My question is, should i fix this?

Thanks for your opinion.

I had the same problem with one of my Watches. Rocco does not offer such a service.
Michael Young from classicwatchparts can fix this and he's cheap.
The only downside is you have to wait a very long time.

Had exchanged emails with Aaron from ABC Watchwerks, sending the watch there, Will post the result after getting the case back.

Thanks all for your opinion

You should do it if it will make you happy, and if you will keep it a long time. If you are going to flip it, then non=original parts will hurt the resale value.

Thank for all opinion, changed my mind again, canceled the the new case, still at Rolex for a full overhaul, after that will send to ABC for case repair if needed. Thanks all
