Enjoy!

I caught that difference as well. But it appears to be lighting after looking closer.
OP instructed Dalton to not even polish the case. I highly doubt he had him artificially patina the dial.

The history enhances the watch and the watch enhances the history....better than that it doesn't get.

With respect....enjoy!!

You are correct! I prefer a survivor, whether the lume is white or patina, I will leave it the way I found it.

Dalton is splitting his time between Polacheck's Jewelers in Calabasas, CA. and Rolex Certification School.

Great watch, great story too, 👍

First full day on the wrist. It is amazing.

After the first 24 hour period, this watch made in 1977, has gained one second.

Thanks, Dalton, you did a fantastic job!
