Triple Red YM with a twist.!!((Rikki Related))

First the twist-

I purchased my YM about 2 years ago from a forum member. as a complete newb with a little trust I thought it was perfect. Until I posted some close up Pics here at the forum. turns out the bezel was beat to shit.... here's the thread-

Turns out the forum was right. also later found out the middle part of the bracelet was rubbed out with scotch-bright or whatever then at some point re-shined... and very poorly at that.

I then sent the watch off too Rikki and sure enough all said above was true.

Rikki changed out the date-wheel then went to work on the Bracelet and bezel.

My forum friends. it's not even the same watch.. forget the date-wheel the bracelet and the Bezel don't even look the same. It's stunning. I feel Rikki went above and beyond for me. he listened and assured me he would do the best he can do... a few days later when we spoke he said you'll be shocked. I laughed it off. but he was 100% right. the watch is beautiful now. I am truly speechless....

It's a first year production run so for it's age and past abuse I am over-joyed. to the naked eye it a 10 out of 10.

Pictures prolly won't do this justice but here goes-
some before-





after-
