Absolutely amazing!
They did a fantastic job of polishing the case. Only Rolex can do a job like that. The edges are all sharp, and the contours of the lugs are even and symmetrical. People not at RSC cannot do that as well.

Fantastic job! It looks mint. They replaced the dial and hands. It looks great. I know that you said that the lume was falling off. You can't do much else with that. Wonderful watch.

Excellent vintage GMT
That would be a great watch to wear, very functional and with vintage charm.
