14k Daytona 6264 Completed Service

Bob Ridley is a master of his trade and an amazing person outright. His work on my dad's 50 year old, worn almost everyday, watch is breathtaking. Could not recomend a better artist to take care of family heirlooms.

Incredible turnaround, congratulations!!!
Did he source another bezel or have the original bezel repaired?

Bezel question

Sourced another bezel but kept old one incase we find a way to fix it in the future.

Great restoration. I can’t imagine wearing that watch on a daily basis. I hope he put it right back on his wrist!

As said lovely - tiny suggestion, you can locate and fit shorter gold spring bars if you want a flush (i.e. non overhanging) fit to lug :-)
