Not only a spectacular job but also with an all important two full years
international warranty

When I was young I always kept them...now I enjoy the chase finding them
and then let them go to someone who would appreciate an original Rolex
Serpico y Layno is so collectible...I think I will ask $2500 with a "street"
value of $3,000 but also.... very hard and incredibly rare to find.
If you think that the $2500 price tag is rather high (?) consider that some
watchmakers... to service this particular watch... would have asked just that.!!

What a beauty, especially now that you've serviced it! Does it keep perfect time?

I would get the band fully restored as well now that everything else is great. Looks like the first link is almost falling off.
