ABC Watchwerks Before and After

Hey guys!

As promised, here are some before and after pics of my 5513 "Bart Simpson" polish and re-beveling.

BEFORE:









AFTER:











As you can see, there were NO bevels before the work was done. Someone literally polished them off with a half-ass polishing job that rounded the edges. After the work by ABC Watchwerks, beautiful bevels and a case that looks factory fresh IMO.

Also, they replaced the service crystal with one of their domed crystals, and they added a tritium pearl to the insert. Great work! I am a very satisfied customer!

Thanks Edvi!
