ABC Restoration: before and after

[Juantxo]

ABC Watchwerks, Alex and Aaron, restored my old Rolex Oyster from 1949. I had traded the watch in 1978 for an Omega Speedmaster First Watch on the Moon which I had won, new in the box, playing cards in Madrid, Spain.

The Oyster belonged to a friend whose parents had bought it for him when he was born. It had a gold-filled or laminated gold case, I don't exactly which, that had deteriorated with time. The movement, however, remains perfect. I never had had a Rolex, my friend fell in love with the Speedmaster, so we traded.

I never got to use the old Rolex, but I plan to use it now. I think the guys at ABC Watchwerks have done a great restoration job. I look forward to your comments.
