Sub back from RSC

It’d had been away to have a blemish removed, they’ve also given it a bit of a spruce-up & it looks as good as new, … well not too new, ..you guys know what I mean

Beautiful! Do I read that receipt right, that they also gave you a free movement service? If so, that is indeed great service! Congrats!

Thanks guys

They'd had it longer than expected, .. when I spoke to RSC last week they said that the repair had been completed but that it was outside specs upon testing so was going back for an overhaul.

It was a couple months out of warranty form a service in 2011 but the nice lady said these things weren't 'cast in stone' so there wouldn't be any cost this time.

Also said the watch was due to be returned next week, so I was pleasantly surprised when it arrived this morning

Yes it was, they said it's quite common with older steel but a quick fix if caught early

A few yrs ago there was a temporary reduction in VAT so I had a partial refund from the cost of a service, I did frame that cheque
