Icon5 Bought a Tudor Day-date 94500 should i repair it?

Hi everyone,

Bought o nice tudor day-date, 35 mm blue dial, paid only 700 USD for it, complete set, including original papers.

Not sure if this is a keeper, may sell it on future. Got it because it was cheap. but there is a catch, one of the lugs arm was overpolished, and its shorter than the oposite arm (holes not afected), the rest seems ok.

I have read about a company that may fix this, the guy name is Rocco, and its in UK. There also another company named Lewis Wtach Co in Australia.

My question is, should i fix this?

Thanks for your opinion.

I had the same problem with one of my Watches. Rocco does not offer such a service.
Michael Young from classicwatchparts can fix this and he's cheap.
The only downside is you have to wait a very long time.

You should do it if it will make you happy, and if you will keep it a long time. If you are going to flip it, then non=original parts will hurt the resale value.
