Potential Case Restoration?
Hey good morning guys,
I've lurked around here a bit for a few years, but don't post often. I acquired a 16610 (T-serial, so 1995/1996) back in June of 2018 when my stepfather passed away and left it to me. The watch had never been serviced to my knowledge so I took it to a Rolex AD in Houston who serviced the movement as well as changed the hand group, bezel insert and crystal. At the time I was a bit ignorant to the Submariner world and didn't realize exactly what I was doing. They also polished the case and bracelet. I've spoken with a few folks who do beautiful case work, and they've both recommended that I do a case restoration. I've seen a lot of really poor examples of polish jobs, and I don't feel like mine fits that description. I've begun looking for period correct Tritium hands and bezel insert, and the case is the last piece I'm unsure of. Hoping you guys and gals can help me out. The beveled edges aren't apparent how the modern ones are, but I'm unsure how the case looked brand new. Thanks for the help in advance everyone. |
